Disclination states in nonreciprocal topological networks

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Haoye Qin, Zhechen Zhang, Qiaolu Chen

Recently, nonreciprocal two-dimensional unitary scattering networks have gained considerable interest due to the possibility of obtaining robust edge wave propagation in their anomalous topological insulating phase. However, zero-dimensional states in such ...

We experimentally investigate fluctuations in the spectrum of ultrashort laser pulses propagating in air, close to the critical power for filamentation. Increasing the laser peak power broadens the spectrum while the beam approaches the filamentation regim ...

Accurate time zero determination in an ultrafast transmission electron microscope without energy filter

Marcel Drabbels, Ulrich Lorenz, Pavel Olshin, Jonathan Mark Voss

In this manuscript, we describe a simple and accurate method for finding the temporal overlap of the laser pump and electron probe pulse in ultrafast TEM. Our approach is based on the observation that the outline of a nanoparticle blurs at time zero, a phe ...

Coherent terahertz-to-microwave link using electro-optic-modulated Turing rolls

Tobias Kippenberg, Anat Siddharth, Wenle Weng, Arslan Sajid Raja, Jijun He, Miles Henry Anderson

Arising from modulation instability, Turing rolls in optical Kerr microresonators have been used in the generation of optical frequency combs and the synthesis of microwave and terahertz frequencies. In this work, by applying electro-optic modulation on te ...

Gain-switched semiconductor laser driven soliton microcombs

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng, Jijun He

Using phase-engineered coherent laser pulses produced by gain-switched semiconductor lasers, we generate low-power-threshold soliton microcombs whose repetition frequencies are in the X-band and K-band microwave ranges. (c) 2021TheAuthor(s) ...

Self-Injection Locking of a Gain-Switched Laser Diode

Andrey Voloshin

We experimentally observe a self-injection locking regime of the gain-switched laser to a high-Q optical microresonator. We reveal that the comb generated by the gain-switched laser experiences a dramatic reduction of comb-teeth linewidths in this regime. ...

Generating optical pulses via a soliton state of an optical microresonator coupled with a chip based semiconductor laser

Tobias Kippenberg, Hairun Guo, Arslan Sajid Raja

A light pulse source (100), being adapted for generating repetitive optical pulses (1), comprises a continuous wave cw laser device (10) being arranged for providing cw laser light (2), an optical waveguide (20) being optically coupled with the cw laser de ...

Dynamics and Applications of Dissipative Kerr Solitons

Maxim Karpov

Optical frequency combs are optical sources, which spectrum consists of a series of equally spaced narrowband frequencies. They made an outstanding leap forward in the accuracy of optical frequency metrology and became an attractive tool for numerous appli ...

We generate frequency-tunable narrow-band intense fields in the terahertz (THz) range by optical rectification of a temporally modulated near-infrared laser pumping a nonlinear organic crystal. Carrier-frequency tunability between 0.5 and 6.5THz is achieve ...
