Dynamic control of the speed of a light signal, based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers, was theoretically studied and also experimentally demonstrated as the core object of this thesis. To date, slow light based on stimulated Brillouin ...
This paper addresses the design of a new hybrid MEMS micromotor. It is a small 3-phases axial flux BLDC motor. The stator is realized following the almost CMOS technology rules used for MEMS manufacture and the coils have two copper layers. The rotor is ma ...
Photonic crystals are stuctures in which the refractive index varies periodically on the wavelength scale in one, two or three dimensions. Due to interference effects, these structures can forbid light propagation over a large spectral range called "the ph ...
We report the experimental observation of temporal vector soliton propagation and collision in a linearly birefringent optical fiber. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is both the first demonstration of temporal vector solitons with two mutually ...
We model the resonant excitation transfer between semiconductor quantum dots, accounting for the radiative nature of the electromagnetic field. The model based on Maxwell equations and on a non-local, and for linear susceptibility accounts both for the ins ...
We experimentally demonstrate complete compensation of pulse broadening in an amplifier-based slow light system. The configuration of the delay line basically consists of two stages: a conventional Brillouin slow light system and a nonlinear regeneration e ...
The first series tube of the gyrotrons for the 10-MW electron cyclotron resonance heating system of the stellarator W7-X was tested at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK) and yielded a total output power of 0.98 MW, with an,efficiency of 31% (without a singl ...
Electromagnetically induced transparency is a quantum interference effect observed in atoms and molecules, in which the optical response of an atomic medium is controlled by an electromagnetic field. We demonstrated a form of induced transparency enabled b ...
The effect of a proper shaping of the temporal envelope of isolated pulses in slow-light systems based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers is studied and experimentally demonstrated. The pulse shape can be optimized to lead to a substantia ...
We propose the use of pulse Simplex-coding in distributed temperature sensors based on spontaneous Brillouin scattering. The analysis shows achieved performance improvement and the effect on stimulated Brillouin threshold, resulting in lower required input ...
