Frequency Deviation Due to a Sample Insertion Hole in a Cylindrical Cavity by Circuital Analysis
2007
One of the most widely used techniques for dielectric material characterization is the partially filled circular cavity. The exact analysis of this structure is well known in the bibliography. But in practice when the measured material is introduced through a circular pipe below its cut off frequency a problem arises. Traditionally the tube effect is neglected, but then some errors appear, whose magnitude depends on the material properties and the cavity and tube dimensions. In some cases, the errors introduced are noticeable and the tube effect should not be neglected. Some authors have tried to evaluate in a simple way this effect, but their equations are valid only in a restricted range …
Triply resonant coherent four-wave mixing in silicon nitride microresonators
2015
The generation of multiple tones using four-wave mixing (FWM) has been exploited for many applications, ranging from wavelength conversion to frequency comb generation. FWM is a coherent process, meaning that its dynamics strongly depends on the relative phase among the waves involved. The coherent nature of FWM has been exploited for phase-sensitive processing in different waveguide structures, but it has never been studied in integrated microresonators. Waveguides arranged in a resonant way allow for an effective increase in the wavelength conversion efficiency (at the expense of a reduction in the operational bandwidth). In this letter, we show that phase shaping of a three-wave pump pro…
Motion of compactonlike kinks.
1999
We analyze the ability of a compactonlike kink (i.e., kink with compact support) to execute a stable ballistic propagation in a discrete Klein-Gordon system with anharmonic coupling. We demonstrate that the effects of lattice discreteness, and the presence of a linear coupling between lattice sites, are detrimental to a stable ballistic propagation of the compacton, because of the particular structure of the small-oscillation frequency spectrum of the compacton in which the lower-frequency internal modes enter in direct resonance with phonon modes. Our study reveals the parameter regions for obtaining a stable ballistic propagation of a compactonlike kink. Finally we investigate the interac…
Noncritical generation of nonclassical frequency combs via spontaneous rotational symmetry breaking
2016
Synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillators (SPOPOs) are optical cavities containing a nonlinear crystal capable of down-converting a frequency comb to lower frequencies. These have received a lot of attention lately, because their intrinsic multimode nature makes them compact sources of quantum correlated light with promising applications in modern quantum information technologies. In this work we show that SPOPOs are also capable of accessing the challenging but interesting regime where spontaneous symmetry breaking plays a crucial role in the quantum properties of the emitted light, difficult to access with any other nonlinear optical cavity. Apart from opening the possibility of…
On-chip entangled D-level photon states – scalable generation and coherent processing
2018
Exploiting a micro-cavity-based quantum frequency comb, we demonstrate the on-chip generation of high-dimensional entangled quantum states with a Hilbert-space dimensionality larger than 100, and introduce a coherent control approach relying on standard telecommunications components.
Anti-dynamical Casimir effect with an ensemble of qubits
2016
Abstract We consider the interaction between a single cavity mode and N ≫ 1 identical qubits, assuming that any system parameter can be rapidly modulated in situ by external bias. It is shown that, for the qubits initially in the ground states, three photons can be coherently annihilated in the dispersive regime for harmonic modulation with frequency 3 ω 0 − Ω 0 , where ω 0 ( Ω 0 ) is the bare cavity (qubit) frequency. This phenomenon can be called “Anti-dynamical Casimir effect”, since a pair of excitations is destroyed without dissipation due to the external modulation. For the initial vacuum cavity state, three qubit excitations can also be annihilated for the modulation frequency 3 Ω 0 …
Control of multiphoton radiative recombination through the action of two low-frequency fields
2004
Interference effects caused by the simultaneous action of a two low frequency fields with commensurate frequencies during laser assisted radiative recombination (LARR) are investigated theoretically. Varying the relative phase of the two fields the following LARR features may be controlled: a) location of the maxima in the total emitted power; b) enhancement of the total emitted power; c) polar shape of the differential emitted power; d) shape of the emitted power spectra.
Coherence functions of the electrical and the optical noises in monomodal packaged vertical cavity surface emitting lasers
2006
Calculations of the frequency noise spectra and of the coherence functions between the electrical and the optical noises for a single-mode packaged vertical surface emitting laser (VCSEL) are reported.A rate-equation model for an index guided VCSEL is used, implemented with the electrical noise model including the intrinsic device, the package and external bias network.The extended model works up to the laser relaxation frequency. The amplitude optical noise and its correlation with the frequency and electrical noises are also analysed. The influence on the calculated quantities of some electrical and laser parameters is evaluated. The results show that generally the frequency noise is corr…
A walk-free centroid method for lifetime measurements with pulsed beams
1978
Abstract A delayed-coincidence lifetime measurement method based on a comparison of walk-free centroids of time spectra is presented. The time is measured between the cyclotron rf signal and the pulse from a plastic scintillation detector followed by a fixed energy selection. The events to be time-analyzed are selected from the associated charge-particle spectrum of a silicon detector which is operated in coincidence with the scintillator, i.e. independently of the formation of the signal containing the time information. With this technique, with the micropulse fwhm of typically 500 to 700 ps, half-lives down to the 10 ps region can be measured. The following half-lives are obtained with th…
High-overtone bulk acoustic resonator as passive ground penetrating RADAR cooperative targets
2013
International audience; RAdio-frequency Detection And Ranging instruments—RADARs—are widely used for applications aimed at measuring passive target velocity or ranging for various metrology applications such as ground position and localization. Within the context of using piezoelectric acoustic passive sensors as cooperative targets to RADARs probed through a radiofrequency link, this paper reports on investigating the compatibility of narrowband resonator architectures with the classical operation mode of wideband RADAR instruments. Since single mode resonators are hardly compatible due to the limited bandwidth of their spectrum, the investigation has been extended to High-overtone Bulk Ac…
