Holographic capture of femtosecond pulse propagation

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu

We have implemented a holographic system to study the propagation of femtosecond laser pulses with high temporal (150 fs) and spatial resolutions (4 μm). The phase information in the holograms allows us to reconstruct both positive and negative index chang ...

Nonlinearity management in optics: Experiment, theory, and simulation

Demetri Psaltis

We conduct an experimental investigation of nonlinearity management in optics using femtosecond pulses and layered Kerr media consisting of glass and air. By examining the propagation properties over several diffraction lengths, we show that wave collapse ...

Advanced trends in nonlinear optics applied to distributed optical-fibre sensors

Dario Alasia

The distributed optical-fibre sensors based on the properties of Brillouin scattering is the central object of this thesis. In the past decade, optical fibres have gained a large interest as sensors: attractive solutions based on the non-linear stimulated ...

Nanoindentation and birefringence measurements on fused silica specimen exposed to low-energy femtosecond pulses

Christian Depeursinge, Yves Bellouard, Tristan Colomb

Femtosecond laser pulses used in a regime below the ablation threshold have two noticeable effects on Fused Silica (a-SiO2): they locally increase the material refractive index and modify its HF etching selectivity. The nature of the structural changes ind ...

Investigation of nonlinear absorption processes with femtosecond light pulses in lithium niobate crystals

Demetri Psaltis

The propagation of high-power femtosecond light pulses in lithium niobate crystals (LiNbO3) is investigated experimentally and theoretically in collinear pump-probe transmission experiments. It is found within a wide intensity range that a strong decrease ...

Femtosecond holography

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu

We present a holographic recording technique with 150 femtosecond time resolution. This technique allows us to capture either a single hologram with fine spatial resolution (4μm), or a time-sequence of multiple holograms with reduced spatial resolution in ...

Visualization of optical pulse filamentation by femtosecond time-resolved optical polarigraphy

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu

We have observed the filamentation of optical pulses in carbon disulfide(CS2) using femtosecond time-resolved optical polarigraphy(FTOP)1. A pump-probe setup is used to capture the propagation of a 150 femtosecond laser pulse in CS2. The probe pulse propag ...

Dynamics of filament formation in a Kerr medium

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu

We have studied the large-scale beam breakup and filamentation of femtosecond pulses in a Kerr medium. We have experimentally monitored the formation of stable light filaments, conical emission, and interactions between filaments. Three major stages lead t ...

Holographic recording of laser-induced plasma

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu

We report on a holographic probing technique that allows for measurement of free-electron distribution with fine spatial detail. Plasma is generated by focusing a femtosecond pulse in air. We also demonstrate the capability of the holographic technique of ...

Reverse propagation of femtosecond pulses in optical fibers

Demetri Psaltis

We present a numerical technique for reversing femtosecond pulse propagation in an optical fiber, such that given any output pulse it is possible to obtain the input pulse shape by numerically undoing all dispersion and nonlinear effects. The technique is ...
