Wavelength-stabilized figure-of-9 thulium-doped all-fiber laser emitting 560 fs pulses

Camille Sophie Brès, Moritz Bartnick, Gayathri Bharathan

We demonstrate a figure-of-9 all-fiber thulium-doped laser (TDFL) that generates 560 fs long pulses at 1948 nm wavelength. In order to achieve self-starting passive mode-locking, we utilize an in-fiber Faraday rotator to induce a nonreciprocal phase shift. ...

Time-Domain Integration of Broadband Terahertz Pulses via Tapered Two-Wire Waveguide

Alessandro Tomasino

In this work, we report on the implementation of a time-domain integrator device operating on arbitrary broadband Terahertz (THz) pulses. This analog signal-processing functionality is implemented by employing a two-wire waveguide (TWWG) variant, based on ...

Performance Analysis of Energy Balancing Methods for Matrix Modular Multilevel Converters

Drazen Dujic, Stefan Milovanovic, Philippe Alexandre Bontemps

Modular multilevel converters achieve voltage scalability through the series connection of cells, each with its own capacitance. However, this converter structure using floating energy storage elements increases the control complexity significantly. The vo ...

Lock-in amplified differential phase contrast

Christophe Moser, Timothé Laforest, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Chiara Bonati

We introduce a lock-in method to increase the phase contrast in incoherent Differential Phase Contrast (DPC) imaging. The use of a smart pixel detector with in-pixel signal demodulation, paired with synchronized illumination, provides the basis of a bit-ef ...

Unconventional time-bandwidth performance of resonant cavities with nonreciprocal coupling

Camille Sophie Brès, Davide Grassani, Ivan Cardea, Kosmas Tsakmakidis

The time-bandwidth limit is a mathematical tenet that affects all reciprocal resonators, stating that the product of the spectral bandwidth that can couple into a resonant system and its characteristic energy decay time is always equal to 1. Here, we devel ...

Towards a N77 Electroacoustic Filter Using Thin Films of Crystalline Y-cut Lithium Niobate

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Soumya Yandrapalli, Victor Plessky

This paper presents the use of a novel type of resonators made of a thin membrane of Y-cut Lithium Niobate that has an array of interdigitated electrodes on the top, and a floating metal on the bottom. Each electrode gives rise to a quasi-independent reson ...

Smooth GaN membranes by polarization-assisted electrochemical etching

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Joachim Armand Simonne Ciers

III-nitride membranes offer promising perspectives and improved device designs in photonics, electronics, and optomechanics. However, the removal of the growth substrate often leads to a rough membrane surface, which increases scattering losses in optical ...
