Photon energy dependence of the light pressure exerted onto a thin silicon slab

We review the theory of ponderomotive forces of classical nonionizing electromagnetic (EM) radiation exerted on dispersive matter. Minkowski's EM energy and momentum density lack any dispersion term in contrast to Nelson's theory, where they are included n ...

Optical pulse differentiation based on a resonant slow & fast light system

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

We experimentally demonstrate that temporal differentiation of optical pulses can be realized in a slow & fast light system based on a resonance. The waveform of a 13 ns Gaussian pulse was experimentally first-order differentiated. ...

Broadband Dielectric Response in Hard and Soft PZT

Li Jin

Lead zirconate titanate (Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3 or PZT) ferroelectric ceramics have been widely used in transducers, actuators, and sensors, since they posses high dielectric and piezoelectric properties with a relatively high temperature of operation. Commerciall ...

Aerosol hygroscopicity and CCN activation kinetics in a boreal forest environment during the 2007 EUCAARI campaign

Athanasios Nenes

Measurements of size-resolved cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations, subsaturated hygroscopic growth, size distribution, and chemical composition were collected from March through May, 2007, in the remote Boreal forests of Hyytiälä, Finland, as pa ...

Brillouin Echoes for Advanced Distributed Sensing in Optical Fibres

Stella Foaleng Mafang

Brillouin scattering is particularly efficient and attractive for the implementation of strain and temperature distributed sensing in optical fibres. Recently a trend has been observed that modern advanced applications require a substantial step towards be ...

Spectral phase, amplitude, and spatial modulation from ultraviolet to infrared with a reflective MEMS pulse shaper

Nico de Rooij, Wilfried Noell, Jean-Pierre Wolf, Jérôme Extermann, Fabio Jutzi, Sébastien Lani, Luigi Bonacina

We describe the performance of a reflective pulse-shaper based on a Micro-ElectroMechanical System (MEMS) linear mirror array. It represents a substantial upgrade of a preceding release [Opt. Lett. 35, 3102 (2010)] as it allows simultaneous piston and tilt ...

Demonstration of Continuous-wave four-wave mixing in AsSe Chalcogenide Microstructured Fiber

Camille Sophie Brès

Continuous-wave four-wave mixing in a 2.5-cm long segment of AsSe Chalcogenide microstructured fiber is demonstrated. FWM products over 50nm are measured for 345mW of pump power and wavelength conversion of 4ps pulses is shown. ...

Pulse distortion in linear slow light systems: theoretical limits and compensation strategies

Luc Thévenaz

We study analytically pulse distortion in linear slow light systems, and provide some useful limits on these devices. Additionally, we also show that the contributions of phase and amplitude broadening can be de-coupled and quantified. It is observed that ...

A generalized-gradient approximation exchange hole model for dispersion coefficients

A simple method for computing accurate density-dependent dispersion coefficients is presented. The dispersion coefficients are modeled by a generalized gradient-type approximation to Becke and Johnson's exchange hole dipole moment formalism. Our most cost- ...

Tunable multiplication of the repetition rate of an optical pulse train using dynamic Brillouin gratings in optical fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin, Nikolay Primerov

We here propose a novel technique for realizing the multiplication of the pulse repetition rate with a flexibly tunable multiplication factor, based on dynamic Brillouin grating (DBG) reflectors implemented in highly birefringent fibers. ...
