Improving the quality of filament-impaired images in Kerr media by statistical averaging

Demetri Psaltis, Alexandre Goy

In focusing Kerr media, small- scale filamentation is the major obstacle to imaging at high light intensities. In this article, we experimentally and numerically demonstrate a method based on statistical averaging to reduce the detrimental effects of filam ...

Towards highest spectral efficiency: Optical sinc-shaped Nyquist pulses generation from rectangular frequency comb

Luc Thévenaz, Camille Sophie Brès, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Mohammad Amin Shoaie, Armand Vedadi-Comte, Mohammad Mehdi Alem Karladani

In this paper, we review a method to produce optical sinc-shaped Nyquist pulses with unprecedented quality. The method is based on the synthesis of a rectangular shaped and phase-locked frequency comb from a combination of intensity modulators. The result ...

Spectral characterization of fully phase-matched high harmonics generated in a hollow waveguide for free-electron laser seeding

Christoph Peter Hauri, Fernando Ardana Lamas

We present a bright and coherent soft x-ray source based on high harmonic generation delivering up to 10(10) photons per second centered at 120 eV within an 80 eV bandwidth. The source profits from fully phase-matched harmonic generation in an unmodulated ...

Direct observation of non-fully-symmetric coherent optical phonons by femtosecond x-ray diffraction

We directly measure by femtosecond time-resolved x-ray diffraction the E-g symmetry coherent phonon excited in bismuth by a strong optical pulse. The magnitude of the E-g mode observed is 0.2 pm peak-to-peak, compared against the 2.7-pm initial displacemen ...

The Presence of Ultralow Densities of Nanocrystallites in Amorphous Poly(lactic acid) Microspheres

Sylvie Roke

Ultralow densities of crystalline nanospheres have been detected in amorphous polymer microspheres by utilizing the unique sensitivity of second-order nonlinear optical techniques to anisotropy. Vibrational sum frequency scattering (SFS) and X-ray diffract ...

Third-harmonic generation microscopy with Bessel beams: a numerical study

We study theoretically and numerically third-harmonic generation (THG) from model geometries (interfaces, slabs, periodic media) illuminated by Bessel beams produced by focusing an annular intensity profile. Bessel beams exhibit a phase and intensity distr ...

Analytical expression of pulse broadening in an arbitrary linear slow light medium

Luc Thévenaz

We derive an analytical expression for the broadening of a Gaussian input pulse in an arbitrary linear slow light medium. The expression consists of two terms, one corresponding to amplitude broadening (low-pass filtering of the pulse bandwidth) and anothe ...

Alkaline niobate nanowires as opto-mechanical probes

Aleksandra Radenovic, Fabrizia Dutto

Perovskite alkaline niobate (XNbO3) nanowires are attracting lots of attention having a variety of interesting properties such as significant nonlinear optical response, pronounced birefringence, considerable piezoelectric, pyroelectric, photorefractive, a ...

Brillouin Echoes for Advanced Distributed Sensing in Optical Fibres

Brillouin scattering is particularly efficient and attractive for the implementation of strain and temperature distributed sensing in optical fibres. Recently a trend has been observed that modern advanced applications require a substantial step towards be ...

Harmonic holographic microscopy with circularly polarized excitation

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Rachel Grange, Chia-Lung Hsieh, Ye Pu

We have developed a luminescent marker using the second harmonic generation (SHG) from noncentrosymmetric BaTiO3 nanocrystals. These nanoparticles are attractive due to their stable, non-saturating and coherent signal with a femtosecond-scale response time ...
