This paper investigates the so-far unexplored influence of the probes on the state of polarization (SOP) of the pump pulse in a distributed fiber sensor based on dual-probe Brillouin optical-time domain analysis (BOTDA). A theoretical framework, based on a ...

Guiding and confining light at interfaces is crucial for applications involving light-matter interactions, such as surface spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, and quantum information technology. While dielectric surface waves offer promising perspectives for s ...
Coherent optomechanical interaction known as stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) can enable ultrahigh resolution signal processing and narrow-linewidth lasers. SBS has recently been studied extensively in integrated waveguides; however, many implementati ...
We demonstrate operation of a tunable mode-locked thulium-doped fiber laser, based on a wavelength-selective chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG). By applying strain to the CFBG, we shift its reflection band and can thereby tune the emission-wavelength of th ...
Textile electronics embedded in clothing represent an exciting new frontier for modern healthcare and communication systems. Fundamental to the development of these textile electronics is the development of the fibers forming the cloths into electronic dev ...
The integration of MEMS transducers in photonic integrated circuits provides opportunities for high efficiency photonic modulation and dynamic routing on-chip. We here present an electrostatically actuated, silicon photonic MEMS 2 x 2 power coupler, fabric ...
