Single potassium niobate nano/microsized particles as local mechano-optical Brownian probes

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Flavio Maurizio Mor, Sylvia Jeney

Perovskite alkaline niobates, due to their strong nonlinear optical properties, including birefringence and the capability to produce second-harmonic generation (SHG) signals, attract a lot of attention as potential candidates for applications as local nan ...

Method and apparatus for measuring the local birefingence along an optical waveguide

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

This invention relates to a system and method to determine the distributed birefringence profile along an optical fibre. Birefringence manifests as different refractive indices for two orthogonal states of polarization of the light propagating in the optic ...

Active Nanorheology with Plasmonics

Peer Fischer, Tian Qiu, Hyeonho Jeong

Nanoplasmonic systems are valued for their strong optical response and their small size. Most plasmonic sensors and systems to date have been rigid and passive. However, rendering these structures dynamic opens new possibilities for applications. Here we d ...

Improving the quality of filament-impaired images in Kerr media by statistical averaging

Demetri Psaltis, Alexandre Goy

In focusing Kerr media, small- scale filamentation is the major obstacle to imaging at high light intensities. In this article, we experimentally and numerically demonstrate a method based on statistical averaging to reduce the detrimental effects of filam ...

Terabit/s communications using chip-scale frequency comb sources

Tobias Kippenberg, Victor Brasch, Tobias Herr

High-speed optical interconnects rely on advanced wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) schemes. However, while photonic-electronic interfaces can be efficiently realized on silicon-on-insulator chips, dense integration of the necessary light sources stil ...

Manipulating the Optical Bistability in a Nonlinear Plasmonic Nanoantenna Array with a Reflecting Surface

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet

The influence of a reflecting surface on the optical bistability in a nanoantenna array is investigated theoretically. The optical response of the array is modeled using a surface integral equation method developed for periodic structures, and the descript ...

Kerr nonlinearity of Thulium-doped fiber near 2 um

Camille Sophie Brès, Svyatoslav Kharitonov, Adrien Billat, Steevy Joyce Cordette, Ludovic Zulliger

The nonlinear coefficient and group velocity dispersion of a thulium-doped fiber near 2μm are evaluated via four-wave mixing. Nonlinearity of thulium-doped fiber can be used for the design of doped-fiber lasers in this spectral region. ...

Mitigation of modulation instability in Brillouin distributed fiber sensors by using orthogonal polarization pulses

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Mohammad Mehdi Alem Karladani, Javier Urricelqui Polvorinos

A technique based on the use of orthogonally-polarized pulses is proposed to mitigate the detrimental impact of modulation instability on Brillouin distributed fiber sensors. While the theoretical underpinnings of the method are described by introducing a ...

Distributed phase birefringence measurements based on polarization correlation in phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometers

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

In this paper a technique to measure the distributed birefringence profile along optical fibers is proposed and experimentally validated. The method is based on the spectral correlation between two sets of orthogonally-polarized measurements acquired using ...
