摘要: A laser system may include a controller configured to direct a plurality of temporally spaced-apart electrical pulses to a device that optically pumps a lasing medium, and a lasing medium configured to output a quasi-continuous laser pulse in response to the optical pumping. The plurality of temporally spaced-apart electrical pulses may include (a) a first electrical pulse configured to excite the lasing medium to an energy level below a lasing threshold of the lasing medium, and (b) multiple second electrical pulses following the first electrical pulse. The quasi-continuous laser pulse is output in response to the multiple second electrical pulses.

摘要: A gain adjuster, a gain adjustment method, and an optical line terminal are provided, to separately adjust a gain of a to-be-adjusted optical signal. The gain adjuster includes a light spot conversion component and a gain medium that are sequentially coupled. The gain adjuster further includes a pump laser. The light spot conversion component is configured to adjust light spot sizes of at least some optical signals in received optical signals to output a first optical signal transmitted in space. The pump laser is configured to excite the gain medium. The gain medium is configured to adjust a gain of the first optical signal to output a second optical signal.

摘要: A method of key distribution, a key distribution system, a single photon source system and a method of generating single photons. The method of key distribution comprises the steps of: providing a free space optics, FSO, link between a transmitter and a receiver; detecting whether an eavesdropper is present along the FSO link; transmitting individual photons or weak coherent pulses, as an approximation of individual photons, each encoding a basic unit of the key according to a binary or higher number base system from the transmitter to the receiver; and comparing timing information associated with the transmission and reception of the individual photons for determining the key when it is detected that no eavesdropper is present along the FSO link.

摘要: A combination of microvalves and waveguides may enable the creation of reconfigurable on-chip light sources compatible with planar sample preparation and particle sensing architecture using either single-mode or multi-mode interference (MMI) waveguides. A first type of light source is a DFB laser source with lateral gratings created by the light valves. Moreover, feedback for creating a narrowband light source does not have to be a DFB grating in the active region. A DBR configuration (Bragg mirrors on one or both ends of the active region) or simple mirrors at the end of the cavity can also be used. Alternately, ring resonators may be created using a valve coupled to a bus waveguide where the active gain medium is either incorporated in the ring or inside an enclosed fluid. The active light source may be activated by moving a fluid trap and/or a solid-core optical component defining its active region.

摘要: A burst logging system logs and transmits to a local or remote computing system event data related to errors in and or potential failures of laser system components. The system further provides for capturing data at different rates from different sensors, synchronization of data capture associated with system events and the possibility for aggregation of data from multiple systems, which can in turn be leveraged to predict and or remediate future system events.

摘要: A compact diode laser achieves high-power, short duration output pulses by separating the lasing action from the pulse-generating mechanism. A diode seed source is configured for gain-switching via a variable RF source. A time lens element includes an intensity modulation device, a phase modulation device, and a pulse compressor. The intensity modulation device carves shorter pulses from the long gain-switched seed pulses, the phase modulation device adds chirp, and the pulse compressor compensates for the chirp while producing high-power short-duration output pulses.
