Exploring nonlinearities in multimode optical fibers for lasers and computing

Ugur Tegin

Multimode optical fibers are the backbone of telecommunication and medical imaging. When light with high intensity travels through a multimode fiber, photons and matter start to interact and propa-gation becomes nonlinear. The nonlinear propagation of ligh ...

Mask-aligner Talbot lithography using a 193 nm CW light source

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Raoul Kirner, Andreas Vetter

We present and discuss Talbot mask-aligner lithography, relying on a continuous wave laser emitting at 193nm for the illumination. In this source, a diode laser at 772nm is amplified by a tapered amplifier in master-oscillator power-amplifier configuration ...

Near-field characterization of Bloch surface waves based 2D optical components

Richa Dubey

Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are surface electromagnetic modes that propagate at the interface between a multilayer substrate and a homogeneous external medium. The optical field of the surface mode is confined near the surface of the multilayer. This vertic ...

Erbium doped random fiber laser and fiber mixing effect

Luc Thévenaz, Can Yao, Camille Sophie Brès

We demonstrate an active random fiber laser by directly pumping a 100 m erbium-doped fiber at 980 nm wavelength, with a fiber loop mirror forming a half-open cavity. Random lasing with competing spectral modes in the range from 1535 nm to 1560 nm is achiev ...

Polarization mode control of long-wavelength VCSELs by intracavity patterning

Elyahou Kapon, Benjamin Dwir, Alexandru Mereuta, Vladimir Iakovlev, Alexei Sirbu, Andrei Caliman, Zlatko Mickovic, Christopher Michael Long

Polarization mode control is enhanced in wafer-fused verticalcavity surface-emitting lasers emitting at 1310 nm wavelength by etching two symmetrically arranged arcs above the gain structure within the laser cavity. The intracavity patterning introduces bi ...

A 1.5-W frequency-doubled semiconductor disk laser tunable over 40 nm at around 745 nm

Elyahou Kapon, Vladimir Iakovlev, Alexei Sirbu

We report on a semiconductor disk laser emitting 1.5 W of output power at the wavelength of 745 nm via intracavity frequency doubling. The high power level and the >40 nm tuning range make the laser a promising tool for medical treatments that rely on phot ...

Bringing short-lived dissipative Kerr soliton states in microresonators into a steady state

Tobias Kippenberg, Victor Brasch, Michael Wolfgang Geiselmann, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer

Dissipative Kerr solitons have recently been generated in optical microresonators, enabling ultrashort optical pulses at microwave repetition rates, that constitute coherent and numerically predictable Kerr frequency combs. However, the seeding and excitat ...
