We report on fabrication and performance of wafer fused, high power, passively mode-locked semiconductor disc lasers operating in 1310 nm and 1550 nm bands. These devices comprise gain mirrors based on InAlGaAs/InP multi quantum well active regions fused t ...
Semiconductor nanowires offer a wide range of opportunities for newgenerations of nanoscale electronic and optic devices. For these applications to become reality, deeper understanding of the fundamental properties of the nanowires is required. In this the ...
We have used distributed Raman amplification to extend the measurement distance of a Brillouin Optical Time-Domain Analysis (BOTDA) sensor. We successfully demonstrate a dynamic range of 75 km with 2 meter spatial resolution. ...

Distributed optical fiber Brillouin sensors provide innovative solutions for the monitoring of temperature and strain in large structures. The effective range of these sensors is typically of the order of 20–30 km, which limits their use in certain ...

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) amplification of probe signals is highly polarization dependent. Maximum and minimum gain values are associated with a pair of orthogonal states of polarization (SOP), which are related to the pump SOP. Since the maxim ...
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 ...
