摘要: Optical transmitters and optical receivers utilizing long wave infrared light for use with an earth-orbiting satellite communication system, and a structure including an intracavity optical nonlinear process, are described herein. The transmitters include a pumping laser diode with a fast-axis collimating lens and a pumping wavelength λ0, operating in a continuous wavelength (CW) mode. The transmitters also include a laser cavity having a beam combiner or a dichroic mirror, a laser crystal with a lasing wavelength λ1 and a difference frequency generation orientation patterned semiconductor to generate long wave-IR light. The transmitters also include a second laser at a wavelength λ2, operating in a modulation mode. The receivers have a similar structure to the transmitters, utilizing a sum frequency generation orientation patterned semiconductor to convert long wave-IR light into the short wave-IR.

摘要: An optical amplifier of the present disclosure includes a Raman amplification unit and a parametric amplification unit that is configured of a second-order nonlinear element including a PPLN waveguide. In the optical amplifier, second harmonic lights are generated from a fundamental wave light having a wavelength that is slightly detuned to a shorter wavelength side with respect to a phase matching wavelength of the second-order nonlinear element, and is utilized as excitation light for the parametric amplification unit. By utilizing the excitation light based on the fundamental wave light of the wavelength detuned from the phase matching wavelength, a phase matching curve can be obtained in a wide band in a difference frequency generation (DFG) process of the second-order nonlinear element. The reduction in conversion efficiency of the wavelength near the excitation light in the parametric amplification unit is compensated by the Raman amplification unit.

摘要: Controlling a low-threshold femtosecond supercontinuum (fs SCG) in a bulk nonlinear material (BNLM) with a positive thermo-optic coefficient (dn/dT>0 K−1) is provided by coupling light at a first wavelength output by a fs oscillator at a full pulse repetition PRR into the BNLM. The coupling of light produces a nonlinear lens of the coupled beam in the BNLM which is insufficient to provide intensity of the light sufficient to reach ta threshold of the fs SCG. To raise the pulse energy and reach the SCG threshold, light at a second wavelength different from the first wavelength is absorbed in the BNLM to form a thermal lens in the BNLM which assist the nonlinear lens in creating the SCG.

摘要: A nonlinear crystal including stacked strontium tetraborate SrB4O7 (SBO) crystal plates that are cooperatively configured to create a periodic structure for quasi-phase-matching (QPM) is used in the final frequency doubling stage of a laser assembly to generate laser output light having a wavelength in the range of about 180 nm to 200 nm. One or more fundamental laser beams are frequency doubled, down-converted and/or summed using one or more frequency conversion stages to generate an intermediate frequency light with a corresponding wavelength in the range of about 360 nm to 400 nm, and then the final frequency converting stage utilizes the nonlinear crystal to double the frequency of the intermediate frequency light to generate the desired laser output light at high power. Methods, inspection systems, lithography systems and cutting systems incorporating the laser assembly are also described.

摘要: An electro-optical modulating device and method that provides efficient control of the nonlinear propagation constant in an optical waveguide are featured. The electro-optical modulating device provides large wavelength tunability of the generated entangled photon pairs in real-time by using an applied external bias voltage. The electro-optical modulating device uses gate-tunable material at locations near the optical waveguide. The application of an external bias voltage creates a variable field-effect which in turn varies the optical dielectric properties of the waveguide. The result is a compact active, highly efficient wavelength-tunable integrated quantum photonic device for tunable entangled photon pair generation using an external bias voltage.
