Generation and application of dynamic gratings in optical fibers using stimulated Brillouin scattering

Luc Thévenaz, Nikolay Primerov

Since the invention of optical fiber cable data transmission using light has become ubiquitous in the past years. Nonlinear optical effects, which are hardly noticed in our daily life, have become crucial and highly influential for the design and performan ...

All-optical polariton transistor

Romuald Houdré

Although optical technology provides the best solution for the transmission of information, all-optical devices must satisfy several qualitative criteria to be used as logic elements. In particular, cascadability is difficult to obtain in optical systems, ...

All-optical signal processing using dynamic Brillouin gratings

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin, Nikolay Primerov

The manipulation of dynamic Brillouin gratings in optical fibers is demonstrated to be an extremely flexible technique to achieve, with a single experimental setup, several all-optical signal processing functions. In particular, all-optical time differenti ...

Quantum-coherent coupling of a mechanical oscillator to an optical cavity mode

Tobias Kippenberg, Albert Schliesser, Stefan Alexander Weis

Optical laser fields have been widely used to achieve quantum control over the motional and internal degrees of freedom of atoms and ions(1,2), molecules and atomic gases. A route to controlling the quantum states of macroscopic mechanical oscillators in a ...

On Zero-Dimensional Exciton-Polaritons

Roland Cerna

Microcavity exciton-polaritons are half-matter half-light quasiparticles with outstanding properties. This offers a great way to access and control fundamental excitations in a solid by simple optical means. Therefore, apart from their importance in fundam ...

Dynamic Brillouin gratings: A new tool in fibers for all-optical signal processing

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin, Nikolay Primerov

The recent possibility to generate dynamic Bragg gratings by the interaction of 2 optical waves through stimulated Brillouin scattering in highly birefringent fibers has opened a new field to realize all-optical fiber-based functions. ...
