Abstract: A microwave imaging system is provided. The microwave imaging system comprises a dual-comb transceiver module and a processing module. The dual comb transceiver module comprises a transmitter module for transmitting an output signal, at least one receiver module for receiving the output signal from the transmitter via a channel and for generating a first output signal, and a reference receiver module for receiving a portion of the output signal transmitted by the transmitter module via an attenuator module and for generating a second output signal. Further, one or more channel parameters associated with the microwave imaging are determined based on the first output signal and the second output signal.

Abstract: Disclosed is an optical pulse adjusting device including a pulse shaper that receives an input signal generated based on an optical frequency comb (OFC) signal and outputs a spectrum adjustment signal by adjusting an optical spectrum shape of the input signal, an optical amplifier that outputs an optical amplification signal by amplifying the spectrum adjustment signal, an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) that outputs an information signal by comparing an optical spectrum shape of the optical amplification signal with a target optical spectrum shape, and a control circuit that outputs a comparison signal based on the information signal. The pulse shaper further receives the comparison signal and adjusts the optical spectrum shape of the input signal based on information about a difference between the optical spectrum shape of the optical amplification signal and the target optical spectrum shape, which is included in the comparison signal.

Abstract: An atomic inertial interferometer comprises a laser that emits a CW beam; a modulator that modulates the CW beam; a filter and delay mechanism that receives the modulated beam, and includes a first pathway and a second pathway longer than the first pathway; a comb generator that receives the modulated beam, and produces a frequency comb; and a comb drive coupled to the comb generator to generate a multiple of a comb repetition rate, the comb drive including a HF source coupled to a bandpass filter. A vacuum cell holds a sample of cold atoms. The frequency comb counter-propagates with respect to the modulated beam to provide velocity slicing of the cold atoms such that a given temperature distribution of the cold atoms is sliced into a plurality of narrow temperature distributions that are probed individually and in parallel, to extract an interference signal from the narrow temperature distributions.

Abstract: An optical frequency comb generation system includes an optical waveguide portion having a uniform width, a first chirped Bragg grating disposed at one end of the optical waveguide portion and a second chirped Bragg grating disposed at the other end of the optical waveguide portion. The first chirped Bragg grating includes at least a first periodic variation having a first refractive index and a second periodic variation having a second refractive index. The second chirped Bragg grating includes the at least first and second periodic variations. A first cavity associated with a first resonant frequency extends between the first periodic variation of the first chirped Bragg grating and the first periodic variation of the second chirped Bragg grating. A second cavity associated with a second resonant frequency extends between the second periodic variation of the first chirped Bragg grating and the second periodic variation of the second chirped Bragg grating.

Abstract: Kerr and electro-optic frequency comb generation in integrated lithium niobate devices is provided. In various embodiments, a microring resonator comprising lithium niobate is disposed on a thermal oxide substrate. The microring resonator has inner and outer edges. Electrodes are positioned along the inner and outer edges of the microring resonator. The electrodes are adapted to modulate the refractive index of the microring. A pump laser is optically coupled to the microring resonator. The microring resonator is adapted to emit an electro-optical frequency comb when receiving a pump mode from the pump laser and when the electrodes are driven at a frequency equal to a free-spectral-range of the microring resonator.

Abstract: An integrated electro-optic frequency comb generator based on ultralow loss integrated, e.g. thin-film lithium niobate, platform, which enables low power consumption comb generation spanning over a wider range of optical frequencies. The comb generator includes an intensity modulator, and at least one phase modulator, which provides a powerful technique to generate a broad high power comb, without using an optical resonator. A compact integrated electro-optic modulator based frequency comb generator, provides the benefits of integrated, e.g. lithium niobate, platform including low waveguide loss, high electro-optic modulation efficiency, small bending radius and flexible microwave design.
