Experimental demonstration of an ultrafast all-optical bit-error indicating scheme
2010
International audience; We experimentally demonstrate an all-optical bit error monitoring scheme based on the self-phase modulation occurring during the propagation in a highly nonlinear fiber followed by an optical bandpass filter. Numerical simulations are confirmed by experimental observations performed at a repetition rate of 40 Gb/s.
Sensitivity of SHG-FROG for the characterization of ultrahigh-repetition-rate telecommunication laser sources
2004
International audience; We analyze experimentally the sensitivity of second-harmonic generation frequency-resolved optical gating (SHG-FROG) for the complete intensity and phase characterization of both a sinusoidal beat signal and a train of 1.3 ps pulses at a repetition rate of 160 GHz at 1550 nm. Using a commercially-available optical spectrum analyzer in the SHG-FROG set-up, incident pulses with energies of only 125 and 190 fJ, which correspond to the beat signal and the 1.3 ps pulse train, respectively, have been accurately characterized.
Decadenza e accertamento di un unico centro di imputazione del rapporto di lavoro
2021
L'articolo esamina la questione dell'applicabilità della decadenza di cui all'art. 32, lett. d), della legge n. 183/2021 ai nel caso in cui si rivendichi l'esistenza di un unico centro di imputazione del rapporto di lavoro.
Lo sviluppo e l’innovazione
2021
Le norme della legge di bilancio per il 2021 in materia di sviluppo e innovazione sembrano ancora legate a una logica di natura emergenziale, ponendosi in continuitàconle normative adottate nel corso del 2020 per fare fronte alle fasi più acute della crisi causata dal Covid-19, con le quali, non a caso, condividono il carattere temporaneo degli interventi. Questi si basano su incentivi ai consumi, garanzie pubbliche sui prestiti bancari e varie provvidenze da distribuire tramite fondi pubblici appositamente istituiti. Sorprende l’assenza di progetti ambiziosi per lo sviluppo economico, che avrebbero potuto essere coordinati, o costituire anticipazioni, di quelli da inserire successivamente …
Simple guidelines to predict self-phase modulation patterns
2018
International audience; We present a simple approach to predict the main features of optical spectra affected by self-phase modulation (SPM), which is based on regarding the spectrum modification as an interference effect. A two-wave interference model is found sufficient to describe the SPM-broadened spectra of initially transform-limited or up-chirped pulses, whereas a third wave should be included in the model for initially down-chirped pulses. Simple analytical formulae are derived, which accurately predict the positions of the outermost peaks of the spectra.
Periodic time-domain modulation for the electrically tunable control of optical pulse train envelope and repetition rate multiplication
2012
An electrically tunable system for the control of optical pulse sequences is proposed and demonstrated. It is based on the use of an electrooptic modulator for periodic phase modulation followed by a dispersive device to obtain the temporal Talbot effect. The proposed configuration allows for repetition rate multiplication with different multiplication factors and with the simultaneous control of the pulse train envelope by simply changing the electrical signal driving the modulator. Simulated and experimental results for an input optical pulse train of 10 GHz are shown for different multiplication factors and envelope shapes. © 2006 IEEE.
Asymptotic properties of incoherent waves propagating in an all-optical regenerators line
2007
International audience; We present an original method to generate optical pulse trains with random time-interval values from incoherent broadband sources. More precisely, our technique relies on the remarkable properties of a line made of cascaded self-phase modulation-based optical regenerators. Depending on the regenerator parameters, various regimes with noticeably different physical behaviors can be reported.
Polarization Insensitive Wavelength Conversion in a Low-Birefringence SiGe Waveguide
2016
We report the first demonstration of a single-pass dual-orthogonal-pump four-wave mixing-based wavelength conversion scheme in a silicon-based waveguide. The silicon germanium waveguide used was designed to exhibit strong TE/TM mode similarity across a broad wavelength range as well as a large nonlinear coefficient. A polarization-dependent loss of just 0.42 dB was measured, and the conversion of 40-Gb/s differential phase-shift keying signals was demonstrated with 1.5-dB power penalty at a bit error ratio of $10^{-9}$ .
Active Plasmonics in True Data Traffic Applications: Thermo-Optic On/Off Gating Using a Silicon-Plasmonic Asymmetric MachZehnder Interferometer
2012
We present the first system-level demonstration of an active plasmonic device in 10-Gb/s data traffic conditions. An asymmetric silicon-plasmonic Mach-Zehnder interferometer with dielectric-loaded plasmonic waveguides serving as the electrically controlled arms, operates as thermo-optic ON/OFF gating element with 2.8-mu s response time and 10.8-mW power consumption.
