Optical fiber materials with broad-band gain in the visible or in the telecommunication window are of great interest for optical communication or the biomedical domain in order to built integrated tunable lasers, amplifiers, ultra-short pulse lasers, or br ...
We present an RF-driven two-stage 40 GHz RZ pulse source based on self-phase modulation and a fiber optic parametric amplifier, for generation of 1.1 ps pulses, and demonstrate generation of OTDM data up to 320 Gb/s. ...
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 ...
We experimentally demonstrate a novel technique to process broadband microwave signals, using all-optically tunable true time delay in optical fibers. The configuration to achieve true time delay basically consists of two main stages: photonic RF phase shi ...
Optical-to-electrical conversion, which is the basis of the operation of optical detectors, can be linear or nonlinear. When high sensitivities are needed, single-photon detectors are used, which operate in a strongly nonlinear mode, their response being i ...
We experimentally demonstrate that a novel type of photonic delay line based on movable dynamic grating reflectors generated in polarization maintaining fibers can provide continuously tunable signal delaying for high capacity optical data streams and wide ...
In this work we introduce the use of the per-band link control method in cascades of distributed fiber Raman amplifiers (DFRAs) for compensating power transients of WDM channels. By using two compensation channels, each one controlled by a proportional-int ...
Coupling the emitted light from single quantum dots into an optic fiber has been demonstrated as a. plug and play' single-photon Source. In this work, lifetime dynamics measurements were performed with two time-delayed femtosecond optical pulses at differe ...
We present the experimental demonstration of an all-optical demultiplexer for high speed OTDM data with optical regeneration capability. It is shown that higher order parametric interactions provide optical sampling with high extinction ratio. ...
An investigation is performed of the possibility of achieving simultaneous distributed strain and temperature sensing based on hybrid Raman–Brillouin scattering with the use of multi-wavelength optical sources such as common Fabry–Perot (FP) lasers. By emp ...
