Optical Amplification in Hollow-Core Negative-Curvature Fibers Doped with Perovskite CsPbBr3 Nanocrystals
2019
| openaire: EC/H2020/820423/EU//S2QUIP We report a hollow-core negative-curvature fiber (HC-NCF) optical signal amplifier fabricated by the filling of the air microchannels of the fiber with all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). The optimum fabrication conditions were found to enhance the optical gain, up to +3 dB in the best device. Experimental results were approximately reproduced by a gain assisted mechanism based on the nonlinear optical properties of the PNCs, indicating that signal regeneration can be achieved under low pump powers, much below the threshold of stimulated emission. The results can pave the road of new functionalities of the HC-NCF with PNCs, such as op…
Implementing a Margolus Neighborhood Cellular Automata on a FPGA
2003
Margolus neighborhood is the easiest form of designing Cellular Automata Rules with features such as invertibility or particle conserving. In this paper we introduce a notation to describe completely a rule based on this neighborhood and implement it in two ways: The first corresponds to a classical RAM-based implementation, while the second, based on concurrent cells, is useful for smaller systems in which time is a critical parameter. This implementation has the feature that the evolution of all the cells in the design is performed in the same clock cycle.
Feedback Classification and Optimal Control with Applications to the Controlled Lotka-Volterra Model
2023
Let M be a σ-compact C^∞ manifold of dimension n ≥ 2 and consider a single-input control system: ẋ(t) = X (x(t)) + u(t) Y (x(t)), where X , Y are C^∞ vector fields on M. We prove that there exist an open set of pairs (X , Y ) for the C^∞ –Whitney topology such that they admit singular abnormal rays so that the spectrum of the projective singular Hamiltonian dynamics is feedback invariant. It is applied to controlled Lotka–Volterra dynamics where such rays are related to shifted equilibria of the free dynamics.
Avoiding strange attractors in efficient parametric families of iterative methods for solving nonlinear problems
2019
[EN] Searching zeros of nonlinear functions often employs iterative procedures. In this paper, we construct several families of iterative methods with memory from one without memory, that is, we have increased the order of convergence without adding new functional evaluations. The main aim of this manuscript yields in the advantage that the use of real multidimensional dynamics gives us to decide among the different classes designed and, afterwards, to select its most stable members. Moreover, we have found some elements of the family whose behavior includes strange attractors of different kinds that must be avoided in practice. In this sense, Feigenbaum diagrams have resulted an extremely …
Coherent control in single plasmonic nanostructures
2015
Coherent control in plasmonic nanostructures is a door to space-time confinement of optical excitation and femtosecond super-resolution spectroscopy. Towards this goal, here we demonstrate femtosecond pulse-shaping of single gold nanostructure and local phase compensation.
All-fiber processing of terahertz-bandwidth signals based on cascaded tapered fibers
2013
Tapered single-mode fibers are employed to perform dynamic pulse shaping in a bandwidth of several terahertz. The transfer function of cascaded biconical tapers is controlled by introducing a phase shift into one of them through mechanical stretching. It is a simple and low-cost technique with potential to process signals with bandwidths as large as those allocated by standard optical fiber while introducing little degradation. Femtosecond pulses are shaped to prove the concept. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America
Towards CEP stable, single-cycle pulse compression with bulk material
2010
We demonstrate both experimentally and numerically that self-steepening during propagation in a hollow-fiber followed by linear propagation through glass in the anomalous dispersion enables pulse compression down to 1.6 cycles at 1.8 µm wavelength.
All-fibered high-quality low duty-cycle 20-GHz and 40-GHz picosecond pulse sources
2007
International audience; In this work, we demonstrate all-fibered 20-GHz and 40-GHz picosecond pulse sources with duty cycles as low as 1/14. The pulse train is achieved via the high-quality compression of an initial sinusoidal beating through four segments of optical fibers. General design rules are proposed and experimental results are in agreement with numerical predictions.
320GHz, 640GHz and 1THz femtosecond pulse sources based on multiple four wave mixing in highly non linear optical fibers
2006
Ultra-high repetition rate, transform-limited femtosecond pulse trains have been generated around 1555 nm at 320 GHz, 640 GHz and 1 THz through the compression of a dual frequency beat-signal in a highly nonlinear optical fiber.
Impact of initial pulse shape on the nonlinear spectral compression in optical fibre
2018
International audience; We theoretically study the effects of the temporal intensity profile of the initial pulse on the nonlinear spectral compression process arising from nonlinear propagation in an optical fibre. Various linearly chirped input pulse profiles are considered, and their dynamics is explained with the aid of time-frequency representations. While initially parabolic-shaped pulses show enhanced spectral compression compared to Gaussian pulses, no significant spectral narrowing occurs when initially super-Gaussian pulses are used. Triangular pulses lead to a spectral interference phenomenon similar to the Fresnel bi-prism experiment.
