Abstract: Examples described herein relate to an optical device. The optical device includes a first microring resonator (MRR) laser having a first resonant frequency and a first free spectral range (FSR). The first FSR is greater than a channel spacing of the optical device. Further, the optical device includes a first frequency-dependent filter formed along a portion of the first MRR laser via a common bus waveguide to attenuate one or more frequencies different from the first resonant frequency. A length of the common bus waveguide is chosen to achieve a second FSR of the common bus waveguide to be substantially equal to the channel spacing to enable a single-mode operation for the optical device. Moreover, the optical device includes a first reflector formed at a first end of the common bus waveguide to enhance a unidirectionality of optical signal within the first MRR laser.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for multiple wavelength Raman interrogation laser generation and Raman spectra acquisition. An intracavity laser tuning subsystem is integrated into the laser cavity. The tuning subsystem allows switching between at least two laser output frequencies in a manner effective for good identification and separation of Raman spectra from non-Raman spectra, including auto-fluorescence from the sample and background. The tuning subsystem can be implemented in different ways in the cavity. It does not require material alteration of the line-narrowing components. Also, processing of acquired raw signal from the multiple wavelength interrogation can further assist effective Raman spectra identification and separation.

Abstract: A mode-locked laser has optical components integrated into a single apparatus and interrelated via optical free-space coupling. The laser optical cavity path is reduced to less than ten meters, primarily composed of optical gain fiber. A Fabry-Perot filter is matched to the laser pulse repetition frequency. Utilizing a Fabry-Perot filter within the laser optical cavity suppresses supermode spurs in the phase noise spectrum; thereby reducing total timing jitter.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for control of a dose of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation generated by a laser produced plasma (LPP) EUV light source. Each laser pulse is modulated to be of a width that is determined to be sufficient to allow for extraction of a suitable uniform amount of energy in the laser source gain medium; in some embodiments the suitable uniform amount of energy to be extracted may be selected to avoid self-lasing. The EUV energy created by each pulse is measured and total EUV energy created by the fired pulses determined, and a desired energy for the next pulse is determined based upon whether the total EUV energy is greater or less than a desired average EUV energy times the number of pulses. The energy of the next pulse is modulated, either by modulating its magnitude or by modulating the amplification of the pulse by one or more amplifiers, but without decreasing the determined width of the laser pulse.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for modulating laser pulses by means of an electro-optical modulator which is operated by means of a pulsed modulation voltage. A voltage converter mounted upstream of the modulator converts a pulsed modulated switching voltage at an output voltage level to the modulation voltage that is higher than the output voltage level. The invention further relates to a method for modulating laser pulses.

Abstract: Consistent with the present disclosure, a compact laser with extended tunability (CLET) is provided that includes multiple segments or sections, at least one of which is curved, bent or non-collinear with other segments, so that the CLET has a compact form factor either as a singular laser or when integrated with other devices. The term CLET, as used herein, refers to any of the laser configurations disclosed herein having mirrors and a bent, angled or curved part, portion or section between such mirrors. If bent, the bent portion is preferably oriented at an angle of at least 30 degrees relative to other portions of the CLET. Alternatively, the curve or bend portion may be distributed over different sections of the CLET over a series of arcs, for example. The waveguide extending between the mirrors is continuous, such that light propagating along the waveguide is not divided or split. The waveguide also constitutes a continuous waveguide path.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and associated fiber-laser architectures for high-power pulsed operation and pumping wavelength-conversion devices. Some embodiments generate blue laser light by frequency quadrupling infrared (IR) light from Tm-doped gain fiber using non-linear wavelength conversion. Some embodiments use a fiber MOPA configuration to amplify a seed signal from a semiconductor laser or ring fiber laser. Some embodiments use the frequency-quadrupled blue light for underwater communications, imaging, and/or object and anomaly detection. Some embodiments amplitude modulate the IR seed signal to encode communication data sent to or from a submarine once the modulated light has its wavelength quartered. Other embodiments transmit blue-light pulses in a scanned pattern and detect scattered light to measure distances to objects in a raster-scanned underwater volume, which in turn are used to generate a data structure representing a three-dimensional rendition of the underwater scene being imaged for viewing by a person or for other software analysis.
