Ultraviolet and near-infrared femtosecond temporal pulse shaping with a new high-aspect-ratio one-dimensional micromirror array

Nico de Rooij, Wilfried Noell, Jean-Pierre Wolf, Jérôme Extermann, Luigi Bonacina

We demonstrate the capabilities of a new optical microelectromechanical systems device that we specifically developed for broadband femtosecond pulse shaping. It consists of a one-dimensional array of 100 independently addressable, high-aspect-ratio microm ...

Wavelength Multicasting of 320 Gb/s Channel in Self-Seeded Parametric Amplifier

Camille Sophie Brès

We report the first 320-Gb/s all-optical wavelength multicast experimental demonstration in two-pump parametric amplifier, assisted by pump-pump self seeding. A single 320-Gb/s channel was successfully multicast to eight wavelengths with minimal conversion ...

Use of Fabry-Pérot lasers for simultaneous distributed strain and temperature sensing based on hybrid Raman and Brillouin scattering

Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez

In this paper we propose the use of multi-longitudinal mode lasers, such as Fabry-Pérot (FP) lasers, for simultaneous distributed strain and temperature sensing based on hybrid Brillouin and Raman scattering. Fabry-Pérot lasers allow for high-power Raman i ...

Optimized shaping of isolated pulses in Brillouin fiber slow-light systems

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

The effect of a proper shaping of the temporal envelope of isolated pulses in slow-light systems based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers is studied and experimentally demonstrated. The pulse shape can be optimized to lead to a substantia ...

Long Wavelength VCSL-by-VCSEL Optical Injection Locking

Elyahou Kapon, Vladimir Iakovlev, Alexei Sirbu

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 hav ...

Superconducting parallel nanowire detector with photon number resolving functionality

Francesco Marsili, Alessandro Gaggero

We present a new photon number resolving detector (PNR), the Parallel Nanowire Detector (PND), which uses spatial multiplexing on a subwavelength scale to provide a single electrical output proportional to the photon number. The basic structure of the PND ...

Scalable Multicasting in One-Pump Parametric Amplifier

Camille Sophie Brès

We report the experimental demonstration of all-optical wavelength multicasting of OC-768 (40 Gbps) channel using a single-pass, pump modulated parametric amplifier. The performances of 1-to-20 and 1-to-40 multicasting with excellent signal fidelity we ...

Experimental Study of Crosstalk in a Pump-Modulated Parametric Multicaster

Camille Sophie Brès

We present an experimental study of crosstalk in a 1:40 multicasting architecture based on a one-pump modulated parametric amplifier. The optimal operating region is determined by an extensive sweep of pump and signal powers. ...

Generation and application of high power femtosecond pulses in the vibrational fingerprint region

Sylvie Roke, Hilton Barbosa De Aguiar

We present a novel high power femtosecond infrared laser source, based on a three-stage chirped-pulse amplification scheme. Owing to the high power output of the Ti:sapphire amplifiers, it becomes routinely possible to produce femtosecond infrared laser pu ...
