Physics of Dissipative Kerr Solitons in Optical Microresonators and Application to Frequency Synthesis

Optical-frequency combs, that is spectra of equidistant coherent optical lines, have revolutionized the precision measurements of time and frequency. In 2007 a new method to generate optical frequency combs was discovered. In contrast to conventional gener ...

Slow-Light Frequency Combs and Dissipative Kerr Solitons in Coupled-Cavity Waveguides

Vincenzo Savona, Juan Pablo Vasco Cano

We study Kerr frequency combs and dissipative Kerr solitons in silicon photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguides (CCWs) with globally optimized dispersion at telecom wavelengths. The corresponding threshold for comb generation is found to explicitly depen ...

Optically Probed Time Dynamics of χ(2) Grating Inscription in SiN Waveguides

Tobias Kippenberg, Camille Sophie Brès, Davide Grassani, Edgars Nitiss, Tianyi Liu

Silicon Nitride (S13N4) waveguide platforms have seen significant interest in the recent years, motivated by several advantageous properties such as compatibility with CMOS fabrication standards, low propagation loss, high refractive index and optical nonl ...

Matrix Fourier optics enables a compact full-Stokes polarization camera

Gabriele D'Aversa

Recent developments have enabled the practical realization of optical elements in which the polarization of light may vary spatially. We present an extension of Fourier optics-matrix Fourier optics-for understanding these devices and apply it to the design ...

Development of coherent mid-infrared source using chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers

Sida Xing

Many molecule bonds have vibration frequencies in the mid-infrared band. Thus, this band is of great interest to molecular spectroscopy, material processing and medical applications. However, many optical materials typically used for laser sources experien ...

Identification of microscopic domain wall motion from temperature dependence of nonlinear dielectric response

Pavel Mokry, Tomas Sluka

It is known that the permittivity of ferroelectric polydomain films and single crystals in weak electric fields is strongly enhanced by the reversible movement of pinned domain walls. Two mechanisms of the movement exist: first, the bending of free segment ...

Microresonator-based solitons for massively parallel coherent optical communications

Tobias Kippenberg, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Victor Brasch, Arne Kordts, Maxim Karpov, Miles Henry Anderson

Solitons are waveforms that preserve their shape while propagating, as a result of a balance of dispersion and nonlinearity(1,2). Soliton-based data transmission schemes were investigated in the 1980s and showed promise as a way of overcoming the limitatio ...

All-fiber molecular frequency reference at 2 μm based on a versatile laser modulation sideband locking and a hollow-core fiber gas cell

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow

Sensing of atmospheric trace gases is crucial for climate monitoring and to predict global climate changes. The required global coverage and spatial resolution have driven the studies of space-borne differential absorption lidar (DIAL) instruments to remot ...

Impact of modulation instability on distributed optical fiber sensors

Mohammad Mehdi Alem Karladani

Modulation instability (MI) as the main limit to the sensing distance of distributed fiber sensors is thoroughly investigated in this thesis in order to obtain a model for predicting its characteristics and alleviating its effects. Starting from Maxwell's ...

Characterization and modeling of microstructured chalcogenide fibers for efficient mid-infrared wavelength conversion

Camille Sophie Brès, Adrien Billat, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Davide Grassani, Sida Xing

We experimentally demonstrate wavelength conversion in the 2 μm region by four-wave mixing in an AsSe and a GeAsSe chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers. A maximum conversion efficiency of −25.4 dB is measured for 112 mW of coupled continuous wave pump in a ...
