An experimental method is presented for characterization of the combined intensity and frequency modulation produced when the injection current of a laser diode is modulated. The reported technique is based on the analysis of the harmonic signals produced ...
Characteristics of one-cascade (1.06 double right arrow 1.24 mum) and two-cascade (1.06 double right arrow 1.24 double right arrow 1.48 mum) phosphorus-doped fiber Raman lasers are studied. The cavities of both lasers are formed by Bragg gratings written d ...
The optical speed-up at transparency principle has been successfully applied to a gain-clamped semiconductor optical amplifier yielding a remarkable acceleration in the gain recovery of the device as well as to the disappearance of the typical relaxation o ...
The common configuration for deflecting laser beams in two dimensions is based on two single-axis galvanometric scanners placed perpendicular to each other. Over recent years, these fast scanners have proved to be both very reliable and very accurate. They ...
Self-assembled quantum-dots (QDs) represent a distributed ensemble of zero dimensional structures with a near-singular density of states. Implemented as the active medium in a diode laser their unique properties lead to improved and often novel characteris ...
Infrared spectroscopy using semiconductor lasers is a promising technique for trace gas detection. It allows a continuous and real time monitoring of several species, with a high sensitivity and a good selectivity. Among all the possible methods two are pa ...
An electrically tuned nematic liquid crystal (LC) infiltrated photonic crystal (PC) laser was analyzed. LC tuning of the PC laser was demonstrated by recording the lasing wavelength as a function of the voltage applied across the LC cell. The PC laser betw ...
The conception and realisation of a prototype 355nm wind lidar return signal simulator capable of simulating the Rayleigh and the Mie return signals is described. The system is based on a commercial dual wavelength 1064nm/532nm diode pumped solid state las ...
A heterodyne laser Doppler interferometer operating up to 100 MHz with an optical vibration excitation function was implemented to enable frequency detection of nanocantilevers. By using the stimulant of a network analyzer to sweep the modulation frequency ...
We demonstrate an electrically-tuned nematic liquid crystal (LC) infiltrated photonic crystal (PC) laser. The PC laser is encased between two transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) glass plates which serve as the modulating electrodes and also define the LC ce ...
