摘要: 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.

摘要: Optical soliton pulses are generated using a drive unit to provide pump light at a drive power, a passive optical waveguide ring resonator, a spectral filter in the passive optical waveguide ring resonator, and an output to optically couple optical solitons from the passive optical waveguide ring resonator. The drive power, a net group velocity dispersion (GVD) of the passive optical waveguide ring resonator, a frequency detuning parameter of the passive optical waveguide ring resonator, and the spectral filter are configured to generate one or more optical solitons.

摘要: A method for the servo control of an optical device includes a cavity exhibiting resonance around a center frequency ƒc, a laser and a phase modulator, the method being designed to servo-control the cavity to the laser or vice versa and to compensate for an amplitude modulation introduced by the phase modulator, the method comprising, inter alia, the following steps: A. varying a difference δν between the optical frequency of the laser radiation and the center frequency, such that the optical frequency scans the resonance, the difference being controlled by a parameter of an element of the device, and for each difference δνi i. modulating, at a modulation frequency ƒmod, a phase of the laser radiation, through a modulation phase ϕmod, with the phase modulator, ii. injecting the phase-modulated radiation into the cavity, iii. using a photodiode to detect radiation reflected or transmitted by the cavity and generating an electrical signal (St, Sr) representative of the intensity of the detected radiation, iv. demodulating the electrical signal at the modulation frequency ƒmod by synchronously generating a first demodulated signal and a second demodulated signal representative of the demodulated electrical signal, respectively at a first demodulation phase ϕdem,1 and at a second modulation phase ϕdem,2ϕdem,2≈ϕdem,1k, where k∈[0; 2π] is different from the first phase, and by filtering the first and the second signal so as to retain only a DC component of the first demodulated signal Vϵ1, called error signal 1, and of the second demodulated signal Vϵ2, called error signal 2.

摘要: An apparatus may include a diode-pumped solid-state laser oscillator configured to output a pulsed laser beam, a modulator configured to modify an energy and a temporal profile of the pulsed laser beam, and an amplifier configured to amplify an energy of the pulse laser beam. A modified and amplified beam to laser peen a target part may have an energy of about 5 J to about 10 J, an average power (defined as energy (J)×frequency (Hz)) of from about 25 W to about 200 W, with a flattop beam uniformity of less than about 0.2. The diode-pumped solid-state oscillator may be configured to output a beam having both a single longitudinal mode and a single transverse mode, and to produce and output beams at a frequency of about 20 Hz.

摘要: Various implementations of the invention compensate for “phase wandering” in tunable laser sources. Phase wandering may negatively impact a performance of a lidar system that employ such laser sources, typically by reducing a coherence length/range of the lidar system, an effective bandwidth of the lidar system, a sensitivity of the lidar system, etc. Some implementations of the invention compensate for phase wandering near the laser source and before the output of the laser is directed toward a target. Some implementations of the invention compensate for phase wandering in the target signal (i.e., the output of the laser that is incident on and reflected back from the target). Some implementations of the invention compensate for phase wandering at the laser source and in the target signal.

摘要: A pump source configured to generate a pulsed optical beam. The pump source generates a first light beam, a second light beam, and a third light beam, where the first, the second, and the third light beams satisfy a phase relationship. Each of the first, the second, and the third light beams are independently modulated in separate modulation paths and recombined as a pulsed optical beam. A portion of the pulsed optical beam is parametrically amplified within a nonlinear optical medium, where a resulting amplification gain is proportional to a phase difference between the first, second, and third modulated light beams. The power value of the amplified beam is measured as an indication of the phrase difference between the three beams and a corrective phase adjustment based on the error correction signal is applied on any one of the first, second, and third modulation paths to maintain the phase relationship.
