High frequency microwave signal generation using dual-wavelength emission of cascaded DFB fiber lasers with wavelength spacing tunability
2010
[EN] A dual wavelength fiber laser source based on two cascaded phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings is presented The gratings are written in an erbium-doped fiber each configuring the cavity of a distributed feedback fiber laser The spacing between lasing modes is controlled dynamically by the use of piezoelectric actuators A continuous tuning range of 5-724 pm of the wavelength difference which is equivalent to a photodetected 072-92 GHz range is obtained Efficient generation from the L to the W microwave and millimeter bands has been achieved by heterodyne photodetection of the dual-wavelength optical signal (C) 2010 Elsevier BV All rights reserved
Polarization insensitive wavelength conversion of 40 Gb/s DPSK signals in a silicon germanium waveguide
2015
We demonstrate polarization insensitive FWM-based wavelength conversion of 40Gb/s DPSK signals in a SiGe waveguide, with 0.42-dB polarization-dependent loss. A 1.5-dB Dower nenaltv was measured at a BER of 10−9.
Infrared spectroscopy of ruthenium tetroxide and high-resolution analysis of the ν3 band
2015
Abstract RuO 4 is a heavy tetrahedral molecule which has practical uses for several industrial fields. Due to its chemical toxicity and the radiological impact of its 103 and 106 isotopologues, the possible remote sensing of this compound in the atmosphere has renewed interest in its spectroscopic properties. New, higher resolution FTIR spectra have been recorded at room temperature, using an isotopic pure sample of 102 RuO 4 and a sample with all stable isotopes present in natural abundance. We reinvestigate here the strong ν 3 stretching fundamental region and perform new assignments and effective Hamiltonian parameter fits for the five main isotopologues ( 99 RuO 4 , 100 RuO 4 , 101 RuO …
Vibrational modes and strain in GaN/AlN quantum dot stacks: dependence on spacer thickness
2007
We have investigated the influence of spacer thickness on the vibrational and strain characteristics of GaN/AlN quantum dot multilayers (QD). The Raman shift corresponding to the E2h vibrational mode related to the QDs has been analyzed for AlN thicknesses ranging from 4.4 nm to 13 nm, while the amount of GaN deposited in each layer remained constant from sample to sample. It is shown that there is a rapid blue shift of the GaN vibrational mode with spacer thickness when its value is smaller than 7 nm while it remains almost constant for thicker spacers. A rapid increase of the Raman line-width in the thicker samples is also observed. The experimental behavior is discussed in comparison wit…
Dynamic control of the operation regimes of a mode-locked fiber laser based on intracavity polarizing fibers: experimental and theoretical validation.
2012
[EN] An intracavity polarizing fiber is proposed to control the emission regime of a passively mode-locked fiber laser. Stable operation in self-starting high and low dispersion soliton mode-locking and 100 GHz multiwavelength regimes is demonstrated through numerical simulations and experimental validation. Mode-locking stability is ensured by a saturable absorber in the ring cavity. The effective selection of operation regime is dynamically carried out by controlling the intracavity polarization state.
ESCA-Analysis of tin compounds on the surface of hydroxyapatite
1997
The formation of tin compounds on the surface of hydroxyapatite, the main crystalline component of teeth, is discussed controversially. SnF2 is used as an anticaries agent in toothpaste preparations. Pure hydroxyapatite (HAP) is treated with extracts of commercially available toothpastes containing tin fluoride and analyzed by electron spectroscopy (ESCA). Survey spectra and depth profiles are recorded. The chemical shifts measured for the HAP samples are compared with those of standard tin compounds. It is concluded that on the surface of hydroxyapatite a mixture of two-valent fluoro-phosphato compounds is formed. SnO is not found in the mixture.
Specific orientation of dipole moments in azocrown cetocyanine dyes determined by electrooptical absorption measurements (EOAM)
2019
Abstract From electrooptical absorption measurements (EOAM) follows that the dipole moments of azacrown ketocyanine dyes 2,5-di{(E)-1-[4-(4,7,10,13-tetraoxa-1-azacyclopentadecyl)phenyl]methylidene}-1-cyclopentanone (Compound 1) and (E)-1-(2-hydroxy-4methoxyphenyl)-3-[4-(4,7,10,13-tetraoxa-1-azacyclopentadecyl)phenyl]-2-propen-1-one (Compound 2) in the equilibrium ground state μg and the change of dipole moments upon transition to the excited Franck–Condon state Δaμ are large. This alteration causes a significant long-wavelength shift of the absorption and emission spectra, as well as large fluorescence Stokes shift with increasing polarity of the solvent. From the DFT calculations follows t…
High-Spatial-Resolution Monitoring of Strong Magnetic Field using Rb vapor Nanometric-Thin Cell
2011
We have implemented the so-called $\lambda$-Zeeman technique (LZT) to investigate individual hyperfine transitions between Zeeman sublevels of the Rb atoms in a strong external magnetic field $B$ in the range of $2500 - 5000$ G (recently it was established that LZT is very convenient for the range of $10 - 2500$ G). Atoms are confined in a nanometric thin cell (NTC) with the thickness $L = \lambda$, where $\lambda$ is the resonant wavelength 794 nm for Rb $D_1$ line. Narrow velocity selective optical pumping (VSOP) resonances in the transmission spectrum of the NTC are split into several components in a magnetic field with the frequency positions and transition probabilities depending on th…
Parabolic pulse generation with active or passive dispersion decreasing optical fibers
2007
International audience; We experimentally demonstrate the possibility to generate parabolic pulses via a single dispersion decreasing optical fiber with normal dispersion. We numerically and experimentally investigate the influence of the dispersion profile, and we show that a hybrid configuration combining dispersion decrease and gain has several benefits on the parabolic generated pulses.
Tuning four-wave mixing through temperature in ethanol-filled photonic crystal fiber
2016
In this paper, continuous tuning of four-wave mixing bands in an ethanol-filled photonic crystal fiber is investigated. A wide tuning range of the parametric bands, from 745 nm to 920 nm (signal) and from 1260 nm to 1710 nm (idler), is achieved through the thermo-optic effect. This corresponds to a frequency tuning range higher than 2000 cm−1; such wide range can be particularly useful in applications that require broadband wavelength conversion, e.g., CARS microscopy. Numerical calculations are in good agreement with experimental measurements.
