摘要:
Coupled opto-electronic oscillators with a whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) optical resonator inside the laser cavity to produce oscillation signals out of the optical spectral range, e.g., RF or microwave frequencies.
摘要:
This application describes coupled and non-coupled opto-electronic oscillators with enhanced performance. Coupled OEOs implement a dispersion compensation mechanism to reduce dispersion-induced optical loss, a polarization control mechanism to reduce polarization-dependent optical loss, or a combination of the dispersion compensation mechanism and the polarization control mechanism to enhance the oscillator performance.
摘要:
A chirped pulse amplification system includes one or more polarization compensator configured to compensate for polarization altering elements with the chirped pulse amplification system. The polarization compensator is responsive to a sensor configured to provide feedback to the polarization compensator. In some embodiments, the chirped pulse amplification system further includes a controller configured to automatically adjust the polarization compensator responsive to the sensor. The sensor is optionally a power sensor.
