In this work, by using a comprehensive numerical model which rigorously describes the interaction between stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and four-wave mixing (FWM), we verify that FWM processes, including depletion and parametric gain, generate a redist ...
Lead chalcogenide (IV-VI narrow-gap semiconductor) layers on Si or BaF2(111) substrates are employed to realize two mid-infrared optoelectronic devices for the first time. A tunable resonant cavity enhanced detector is realized by employing a movable mirro ...
We report a low-temperature photoluminescence study of a series of AlxGal-xN/GaN quantum wells of various widths L and with x ranging from 0.11 to 0.25, grown by molecular beam epitaxy on silicon (111) substrates. Such quantum wells are subject to an impor ...
We report a novel three-contact vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) for use in polarization-sensitive optical applications. The device consists of two vertical cavities, coupled by a common mirror. We demonstrate that one can independently choos ...
A theoretical description of photoacoustic spectroscopy generated by wavelength modulation of a semiconductor laser source is reported for a Lorentzian absorption line. This model describes the first- and second-harmonic photoacoustic signals produced by a ...
The conception and realisation of a prototype 355nm wind lidar return signal simulator capable of simulating the Rayleigh and the Mie return signals is described. The system is based on a commercial dual wavelength 1064nm/532nm diode pumped solid state las ...
An optically-active multi-layer dielectric structure comprises an optically active zone between two mirrors forming a Fabry-Perot microcavity. The optically active zone comprises an optically active material of wavelength lambda centred in a layer of high ...
We present measurements of the intensity as well as the phase distribution in the various diffraction orders of computer-generated holograms designed to generate a higher order Gauss–Laguerre beam. For the direct measurement of the phase distribution in th ...
We report a novel three-contact coupled-vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) for use in polarization-sensitive optical applications. The device consists in two vertical cavities, coupled by a common semitransparent mirror. We demonstrate that one ...
In this paper, we present a novel Brillouin fiber-ring laser utilizing an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer (UMZI) as coupling device. The laser is pumped by a distributed-feedback laser diode and shows continuous-wave and single-frequency operation. ...
