All-optical storage and processing in optical fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin, Nikolay Primerov, Andrey Denisov

The recent possibility to generate and read dynamic Bragg gratings in optical fibers by the interaction of multiple optical waves through stimulated Brillouin scattering has opened a new field to realize all-optical fiber-based functions. ...

Near-Nyquist sinc shaped optical pulse generation in fiber optical parametric amplifier

Camille Sophie Brès, Mohammad Amin Shoaie

Using optical fiber amplification and phase modulation, we demonstrate experimentally the generation of pulses with characteristics that are close to Nyquist limited sinc pulses. Bandwidth limited pulses of full width half maximum less than 17 ps at 10 GHz ...

Cavity optomechanics and cooling nanomechanical oscillators using microresonator enhanced evanescent near-field coupling

Tobias Kippenberg

Nanomechanical oscillators are at the heart of a variety of precision measurements. This article reports on dispersive radiation coupling of nanomechanical oscillators to the evanescent near-field of toroid optical microresonators. The optomechanical coupl ...

Workshop: Towards high capacity fibers for space and mode division multiplexed transmission

Hans Georg Limberger

The demand for capacity is growing exponentially with about 40-60% per year passing the installed network capacity. For the last two decades the transmission capacity per fiber has increased by more than three orders of magnitude: Single channel (wavelengt ...

Intra-cavity patterning for mode control in 1.3μm coupled VCSEL arrays

Elyahou Kapon, Benjamin Dwir, Alexandru Mereuta, Vladimir Iakovlev, Alexei Sirbu, Andrei Caliman, Lukas Mutter

We report coupled VCSEL arrays, emitting at 1.3μm wavelength, in which both the optical gain/loss and refractive index distributions were defined on different vertical layers. The arrays were electrically pumped through a patterned tunnel junction, whereas ...

Jean-Daniel Colladon symposium "milestones in light guiding"

Hans Georg Limberger

The Colladon symposium is a public event that will honor the physicist Jean-Daniel Colladon (1802-1890). He was a scientist born in Geneva and well known for his measurements of the speed of sound in the lake of Geneva, his development of tunnel drilling m ...

Reconfigurable parametric channelized receiver for instantaneous spectral analysis

Camille Sophie Brès

We propose and demonstrate a photonic approach to a reconfigurable channelized radio frequency (RF) receiver for instantaneous RF spectrum monitoring and analysis. Our approach relies on the generation of high quality copies of the RF input by wavelength m ...

Resource Utilisation Analysis in WDM Backbone Networks

Sébastien Rumley, Christian Gaumier

Circuit-switched backbone networks are appealing especially due to their low switching cost. However, some of their links may be poorly utilised with respect to the available capacity. Grooming can be used to improve this utilisation: optically switched li ...

Stiffening of organosilicate glasses by organic cross-linking

Efthimios Kaxiras, Han Li

Atomistic simulations show that organosilicates, used as low permittivity dielectric materials in advanced integrated circuits, can be made substantially stiffer than amorphous silica, while maintaining a lower mass density The enhanced stiffness is achiev ...
