    摘要: This invention relates to the field of laser technology and more particularly to the ultra-short pulse generation methods and generators. One round trip of the ultra-short light pulse formation inside a generator optical loop comprises these steps: amplification of the light pulse, spectral broadening of the amplified light pulse due to the optical Kerr effect inside the optically transparent medium, selection of the predeterminated spectral components of the spectrally broadened light pulses by using the first spectrally-sensitive optical element, then again follows amplification of the selected light pulses, spectral broadening of the amplified light pulse due to the optical Kerr effect inside the optically transparent medium and selection of the predeterminated spectral components of the spectrally broadened light pulses by using the second spectrally-sensitive optical element, where spectral components of the light pulses selected using the first spectrally-sensitive optical element are different than the spectral components of the light pulses selected using the second spectrally-sensitive optical element.

    摘要: Methods and systems for determining material composition of a test sample may be provided. The test sample may be placed in a magnetic region having a magnetic field. A light beam may be directed at the test sample in the magnetic region. A birefringence in the light beam that has passed through the test sample may be detected. The material composition of the test sample may be determined based on the detected birefringence in the light beam.

    摘要: Using a laser source unit, pulse laser beams having a plurality of wavelengths is switched and emitted. A Q switch is inserted into an optical resonator including a pair of mirrors which face each other with a laser rod interposed therebetween. A wavelength selection unit includes a plurality of band pass filters having different transmission wavelengths, and selectively inserts the plurality of band pass filters into a light path of the optical resonator. A trigger control circuit controls driving unit that drives the wavelength selection unit so that the band pass filters inserted into the light path of the optical resonator are switched at a predetermined switching speed. In addition, the trigger control circuit causes the laser rod to be irradiated with excitation light from a flash lamp, and then turns on the Q switch at a timing when the wavelength selection unit inserts the band pass filter.

    摘要: Described herein are optical devices based on two-dimensional materials and methods for making such devices. In particular, the articles described herein are useful in the control and modulation of light via graphene mono- or multilayers. methods for improved transfer of graphene from formation substrates to target substrates. The improved articles provide exceedingly high modulation depths in vis-NIR light transmission, with small insertion losses, thus revealing the potential of graphene for fast electro-optics within such a technologically important range of optical frequencies.

    摘要: A hybrid optical source that provides an optical signal having a wavelength (or a narrow band of wavelengths) is described. This hybrid optical source includes an optical amplifier (such as a III-V semiconductor optical amplifier) that is butt-coupled or vertically coupled to a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform, and which outputs an optical signal. The SOI platform includes an optical waveguide that conveys the optical signal. A temperature-compensation element included in the optical waveguide compensates for temperature dependence of the indexes of refraction of the optical amplifier and the optical waveguide. In addition, a reflector, adjacent to the optical waveguide after the temperature-compensation element, reflects a portion of the optical signal and transmits another portion of the optical signal that has the wavelength.
