Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL)-by-VCSEL optical injection locking to obtain high cutoff frequencies of 1.3-mu m VCSELs is demonstrated. A detailed physical explanation of the underlying mechanism is presented. VCSELs from the same wafer have been used in a master-follower configuration. Two probe stations are used in this experiment to power-up two VCSELs simultaneously. Polarization insensibility of the injection locking is demonstrated and a novel architecture is proposed to achieve cutoff

We review recent results on wafer fused long wavelength VCSELs emitting in the 1310 - 2000 nm range. This technology allows reaching fundamental mode output in excess of 4.5 mW at room temperature and close to 3 mW at 70 degrees C for both the 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavebands-the highest values obtained so far. Emission wavelength can be tuned continuously with current with a tuning range as large as 15 nm. For 2000 nm emission wavelength, room temperature output is similar to 0.5 mW, limited so far by high op

The study of the internal structures of specimens has a great importance in life and materials sciences. The principle of optical diffraction tomography (ODT) consists in recording the complex wave diffracted by an object, while changing the k vector of the illuminating wave. This way, the frequency domain of the specimen is scanned, allowing reconstructing the scattering potential of the sample in the spatial domain. This work presents a method for sub-micron tomographic imaging using multiple wavelengths

In this paper, we present a transmission polarization digital holographic microscope (Pol-DHM) that allows for imaging the state of polarization of a wave front with the acquisition of a single hologram. This apparatus records, using a CCD camera, the interference in off-axis geometry between two orthogonally polarized reference waves and an object wave transmitted through a microscopic sample and magnified by a microscope objective. Since the reference waves have orthogonal polarizations, they do not inter

In this paper we present a method for tomographic imaging using multiple wavelengths in digital holographic microscopy. This method is based on the recording at different wavelengths equally separated in the k-domain, in off- axis geometry of the interference between a reference wave and an object wave reflected by a microscopic sample and magnified by a microscope objective. A couple charged device (CCD) camera records consecutively the resulting holograms, which are then numerically reconstructed to obtai

A 3D imager is presented capable of capturing the depth map of an arbitrary scene. Depth is measured by computing the time-of-flight of a ray of light as it leaves the source and is reflected by the objects in the scene. The round-trip time is converted to digital code independently for each pixel using a CMOS time-to-digital converter. To reach millimetric accuracies an array of 32×32 highly sensitive, ultra-low jitter CMOS detectors capable of detecting a single photon is used. The scene is illuminated us

The potential of pulp fiber reinforced thermoplastics is currently not fully explored in composites. One of the main reasons is that pulp fibers are extracted for the use in papermaking and are thus not optimized for use as reinforcements in thermoplastics. Furthermore, currently used processing methods constitute several severe thermomechanical steps inducing premature degradation of the fibers. A systematic development of these composite materials requires the study of both these aspects. The goal of this

We investigate low-frequency electromagnetic wave propagation and absorption properties in 2D and 3D plasma configurations. For these purposes, we have developed a new full-wave 3D code LEMan that determines a global solution of the wave equation in bounded stellarator plasmas excited with an external antenna. No assumption on the wavelength compared to the plasma size is made, all the effects of the 3D geometry and finite plasma extent are included. The equation is formulated in terms of electromagnetic po

Characteristics of one-cascade (1.06 double right arrow 1.24 mum) and two-cascade (1.06 double right arrow 1.24 double right arrow 1.48 mum) phosphorus-doped fiber Raman lasers are studied. The cavities of both lasers are formed by Bragg gratings written directly in the active fiber. Double-cladding Yb3+ and Nd3+ ion fiber lasers with lambda similar to 1.06 mum were employed for pumping. These lasers were pumped, in their turn, by diode laser arrays with lambda similar to 0.98 mum (Yb) and lambda similar to

Fiber lasers in the visible spectral range at 603 and 634 nm were demonstrated using upconversion in fluoride Pr3+-Yb3+-doped fibers and Bragg gratings photoinduced in germanosilicate fibers. Reliable fine tuning of the all-fiber laser over 6.9 at 603 nm has been demonstrated using high strength fiber Bragg gratings.

Moisture is an essential parameter in the behaviour of capillary-porous construction materials such as timber and concrete. It affects liquid and gas transport phenomena, chemical and biological degradation processes, mechanical properties and, in the case of concrete, hydration. From a scientific point of view, moisture monitoring is essential in order to improve the understanding of material behaviour. Moisture measurements may increase the predictive accuracy of established material behaviour models. In

Microcavity exciton polaritons, the fundamental optical excitations of semiconductor microcavities with quantum wells inside, have been proposed as promising candidates for observing stimulated scattering, condensation and other phenomena related to the bosonic nature of excitons. Having a light mass, quantum degeneracy of polaritons can be reached at low densities and high temperatures. But the radiative time of polaritons is very short (in the picosecond range) and usually prevents an efficient thermaliza
