Generation of broadband THz transients via metallic spintronic emitters driven by 20-fs pulses at 1030 nm
2020
We explore power and bandwidth scaling for the generation of highly-temporally-confined THz transients from spintronic emitters, driven by the 250-fs and 20-fs pulses of a high-power 28-MHz Yb-based laser, spectrally centered at 1030 nm.
Characterization of a 10Hz double-pulse non-normal incidence pumped transient collisional Ni-like molybdenum soft x-ray laser for applications
2009
Stable and reliable operation of a nickel-like molybdenum transient collisional soft x-ray laser at 18.9 nm demonstrated and studied with a 10Hz Ti:sapphire laser system proves the suitability of the double-pulse non-normal incidence pumping geometry for table-top high repetition soft x-ray lasers and broadens the attractiveness of x-ray lasers as sources of coherent radiation for various applications. X-ray laser emission with pulse energies well above 1 μJ is obtained for several hours at 10Hz repetition-rate without re-alignment under optimized double pumping pulse parameters including energy ratio, time delay, pulse duration and line focus width.
Broadband microwave gas sensor: A coaxial design
2010
The method of gas detection by a broadband microwave gas sensor is presented in this article. The principle of this method is to use a sensitive material as substrate of a transmission coaxial line. The sensor represents an open line with an extreme surface in contact with gas. The interaction with the gas and the surface induces a dielectric variation of the substrate. From experimental results, the interaction between the sensitive material and each tested gas present a specific frequency spectrum of the reflection coefficient at the input of the line. The proposed method has the advantage of a compact size, wide bandwidth, simple structure, and capable with all sensitive materials. © 201…
High-repetition rate acoustic-induced Q-switched all-fiber laser
2005
We report a high repetition rate actively Q switched all fiber laser. The acousto optic interaction controls the cou pling between co propagating core and cladding modes and is used to modulate the optical losses of the cavity, which permits to perform active Q-switching. Using 1.4 m of 300 ppm Er-doped fiber and a maximum pump power of 120 mW, we have obtained up to 1 W peak power pulses, with a pulse repetition rate that can be continuously varied from 1 Hz to 120 kHz and a pulse width that changes from 70 ns to 2.2 μs.
Chirped fibre Bragg gratings for phased-array antennas
1997
A variable delay line for phased-array antennas based on a chirped fibre Bragg grating is demonstrated. The time delay of a microwave modulating signal is modified by scanning in wavelength a chirped grating. In this initial experiment, time delay variations up to 556 ps have been achieved using a grating of 0.4 nm bandwidth and 6 cm length and modulating in the frequency range 390 MHz-5.20 GHz.
Interferometric Z-scan method for thermo-optical effect studies
2021
We demonstrated a new approach to measuring third-order nonlinear optical effects using an experimental setup incorporating both Z-scan and Mach-Zehnder interferometer methods. This method could be especially purposive for thermo-optical effect studies as it can simultaneously probe thermal gradient profile as well as absolute temperature changes induced by an optical beam. The experimental setup was tested using chloroform. Experimental measurements were carried out using 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser with 8 ns pulse width and 40 kHz pulse repetition rate. The measured nonlinear refractive index of chloroform was mainly induced by the thermo-optical effect. As thermo-optical response depends on bea…
Focusing of surface-acoustic-wave fields on (100) GaAs surfaces
2003
Focused surface-acoustic waves (SAWs) provide a way to reach intense acoustic fields for electro- and optoacoustic applications on semiconductors. We have investigated the focusing of SAWs by interdigital transducers (IDTs) deposited on (100)-oriented GaAs substrates. The focusing IDTs have curved fingers designed to account for the acoustic anisotropy of the substrate. Different factors that affect focusing, such as the aperture angle and the configuration of the IDT fingers, were systematically addressed. We show that the focusing performance can be considerably improved by appropriate choice of the IDT metal pads, which, under appropriate conditions, create an acoustic waveguide within t…
Reducing the bandwidth of a sparse matrix with tabu search
2001
The bandwidth of a matrix { } ij a A = is defined as the maximum absolute difference between i and j for which 0 ≠ ij a . The problem of reducing the bandwidth of a matrix consists of finding a permutation of the rows and columns that keeps the nonzero elements in a band that is as close as possible to the main diagonal of the matrix. This NP-complete problem can also be formulated as a labeling of vertices on a graph, where edges are the nonzero elements of the corresponding symmetrical matrix. Many bandwidth reduction algorithms have been developed since the 1960s and applied to structural engineering, fluid dynamics and network analysis. For the most part, these procedures do not incorpo…
GRASP and path relinking for the matrix bandwidth minimization
2004
In this article we develop a greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP) for the problem of reducing the bandwidth of a matrix. This problem consists of finding a permutation of the rows and columns of a given matrix, which keeps the nonzero elements in a band that is as close as possible to the main diagonal. The proposed method may be coupled with a Path Relinking strategy to search for improved outcomes. Empirical results indicate that the proposed GRASP implementation compares favourably to classical heuristics. GRASP with Path Relinking is also found to be competitive with a recently published tabu search algorithm that is considered one of the best currently available for band…
