Jean-Daniel Colladon symposium "milestones in light guiding"

Hans Georg Limberger

The Colladon symposium is a public event that will honor the physicist Jean-Daniel Colladon (1802-1890). He was a scientist born in Geneva and well known for his measurements of the speed of sound in the lake of Geneva, his development of tunnel drilling m ...

Note: Stacked rings for terahertz wave-guiding

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Emile Jacques de Rijk, Alessandro Macor

We demonstrate the construction of corrugated waveguides using stacked rings to propagate terahertz frequencies. The waveguide allows propagation of the same fundamental mode as an optical-fiber, namely, the HE11 mode. This simple concept opens the way for ...

Distributed Brillouin sensing with sub-meter spatial resolution: modeling and processing

Luc Thévenaz, Stella Foaleng Mafang

A general analytic solution for Brillouin distributed sensing in optical fibers with sub-meter spatial resolution is obtained by solving the acoustical-optical coupled wave equations by a perturbation method. The Brillouin interaction of a triad of square ...

Brillouin optical time-domain analysis assisted by second-order Raman amplification

Luc Thévenaz

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a new method to extend the range of Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) systems. It exploits the virtual transparency created by second-order Raman pumping in optical fibers. The idea is theoretically an ...

Simple source for broadband Brillouin slow light in optical fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

Spontaneously broadened emission from a distributed feedback laser diode perated just above threshold is used as a pump source in Brillouin slow light systems. The pump spectrum could this way be extended to several GHz. ...

Governing the speed of a light signal in optical fibers

Sang Hoon Chin

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 ...

Polarization Evolution of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Amplified Signals in Standard Fibers

Luc Thévenaz

The polarization evolution of stimulated Brillouin scattering amplified signals in the presence of fiber birefringence is examined in analysis, simulation and experiment. The signal polarization is drawn towards the conjugate of the pump polarization. ...

Optical fiber feasibility study in Accelerated Pavement Testing facility

André-Gilles Dumont, Nicolas Bueche, Patrick Rychen

The presented research has been carried out within the European project Intelligent Roads (INTRO). The major objective followed was to assess the potential of optical fiber for pavement monitoring in comparison with classical strain gauges. Thus, both meas ...

Slow Light and Fast Light in Optical Fiber

Luc Thévenaz

Fiber slow light systems are at a turning point moving from a laboratory research to real applications. The possibility to shape the spectral resonance in Brillouin slow light leads to innovative solutions and makes possible the realization of optimized co ...
