Management of slow light dispersion and delay time characteristics with SNAP bottle resonators

The nanoscale radius variation of a bottle microresonator with the required dispersion characteristics is determined theoretically. Experimentally, a microresonator with the footprint 0.08 mm2 exhibiting 20 ns/nm dispersion compensation of 100 ps pulses is demonstrated. © 2014 OSA.

Three key regimes of single pulse generation per round trip of all-normal-dispersion fiber lasers mode-locked with nonlinear polarization rotation

We show experimentally and numerically new transient lasing regime between stable single-pulse generation and noise-like generation. We characterize qualitatively all three regimes of single pulse generation per round-trip of all-normal-dispersion fiber lasers mode-locked due to effect of nonlinear polarization evolution. We study spectral and temporal features of pulses produced in all three regimes as well as compressibility of such pulses. Simple criteria are proposed to identify lasing regime in experiment. © 2012 Optical Society of America.

Determination of recombination coefficients for nanocrystalline silicon embedded in hydrogenated amorphous silicon

The spectroscopic pump-probe reflectance method was used to investigate recombination dynamics in samples of nanocrystalline silicon embedded in a matrix of hydrogenated amorphous silicon. We found that the dynamics can be described by a rate equation including linear and quadratic terms corresponding to recombination processes associated with impurities and impurity-assisted Auger ionization, respectively. We determined the values of the recombination coefficients using the initial concentrations method. We report the coefficients of 1.5 × 1011 s-1 and 1.1 × 10-10 cm3 s-1 for the impurity-assisted recombination and Auger ionization, respectively.

Bound dissipative-pulse evolution in the all-normal dispersion fiber laser using a 45° tilted fiber grating

The formation and evolution of bound dissipative pulses in the all-normal dispersion Yb-fiber laser based on a novel 45° tilted fiber grating (TFG) are first investigated both numerically and experimentally. Based on the nonlinear polarization rotation technique, the TFG and two polarization controllers (PCs) are exploited for stable self-started passive mode locking. Numerical results show that the formation of bound-state pulses in the all-normal dispersion region is the progress of soliton shaping through the dispersive waves and follows the soliton energy quantization effect. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the formation mechanism of bound-state pulses can be attributed to the high pump strength and effective filter bandwidth. The obtained bound-state dissipative pulses with quasi-rectangular spectral profile have fixed pulse separation as a function of pump power. © 2013 Astro Ltd.

Compression spectrale dans les fibres optiques en présence de dispersion normale

Nous étudions numériquement le phénomène de compression spectrale se déroulant dans une fibre optique à dispersion normale. Les conditions conduisant à une impulsion en quasi-limite de Fourier sont déterminées et nous montrons que loin de dégrader les performances, la présence de dispersion normale permet une amélioration significative des résultats.

On the impact of Cu dispersion on CO2 photoreduction over Cu/TiO2

A family of Cu/TiO2 catalysts was prepared using a refined sol–gel method, and tested in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 by H2O to CH4 using a stirred batch, annular reactor. The resulting photoactivity was benchmarked against pure TiO2 nanoparticles (synthesised by an identical sol–gel route). CO2 photoreduction exhibited a strong volcano dependence on Cu loading, reflecting the transition from 2-dimensional CuOx nanostructures to 3-dimensional crystallites, with optimum CH4 production observed for 0.03 wt.% Cu/TiO2.

Influence of digital dispersion equalization on phase noise enhancement in coherent optical system

The phase noise enhancement due to digital dispersion equalization is investigated, which indicates that the phase noise from transmitter laser can also interact with the dispersion depending on the choice of digital dispersion compensation methods. © OSA 2012.
