optical manipulation of quantum systems requires stable laser sources able to produce complex waveforms over a large frequency range. In the visible region, such waveforms can be generated using an acousto-optic modulator driven by an arbitrary waveform generator, but these suffer from a limited tuning range typically of a few tens of MHz. Visible -range electro-optic modulators are an alternative option offering a larger modulation bandwidth, however they have limited output power which drastically restricts the scalability of quantum applications. There is currently no architecture able to perform phase -stabilized waveforms over several GHz in the visible or near infrared region while providing sufficient optical power for quantum applications. Here we propose and develop a modulation and frequency conversion set-up able to deliver optical waveforms over a large frequency range, with a high spurious extinction ratio, scalable to the entire visible/near infrared region with high optical power. The optical waveforms are first generated at telecom wavelength and then converted to the emitter wavelength through a sum frequency generation process. By adapting the pump laser frequency, the optical waveforms can be tuned to interact with a broad range of optical quantum emitters or qubits such as alkali atoms, trapped ions, rare earth ions, or fluorescent defects in solid-state matrices. Using this architecture, we were able to detect and study a single erbium ion in a nanoparticle. We also generated high bandwidth signals at 606 nm, which would enable frequency multiplexing of on -demand read-out Pr 3 + :Y 2 SiO 5 quantum memories.

Recent advances in uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) technology have the potential to benefit diverse civil, commercial, scientific, and defense projects. Many applications would benefit from beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations. Such operations require automated safety systems that allow uncrewed aircraft to avoid collisions with both crewed and uncrewed aircraft. electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) sensors are commonly employed by aircraft collision avoidance systems. This study compares plane-to-sky contrast in the VIS (0.4 to 0.7 mu m), SWIR (1 to 1.7 mu m), MWIR (3 to 5 mu m), mu m), and LWIR (8 to 14 mu m) to determine which band is most sensitive to an aircraft signal against a clear sky background. Contrast in the two reflective bands ( VIS and SWIR) is determined in terms of equivalent reflectivity, and contrast in the two emissive bands (MWIR and LWIR) is determined in terms of equivalent blackbody temperature. Sensitivity data are then used alongside resolution specifications to estimate the detection performance at-range using the night vision integrated performance model (NVIPM). The results are extrapolated to a maritime atmosphere using MODTRAN. An analysis of the range performance and recommendations on band selection are provided for reference in the design of EO/IR systems for aircraft collision avoidance. Future research may study the band performance at night and against other backgrounds (e.g. clouds, ocean, ground terrain). (c) 2024 Optica Publishing Group

The broadband near-infrared (NIR) pc-LED is considered as a new generation of light source for substance measurements based on NIR spectroscopy. The most studied Cr3+ doped broadband NIR phosphors emit in the near-infrared I region. However, there is a demand for broadband near-infraredii solid-state light sources for expanding the variety of detected substances. Herein, Ni2+ activated NIR ii Mg14Ge5O24 phosphor is synthesized by high-temperature solid-state method. The phosphor shows a asymmetric broad NIR emission band peaked at 1420 nm, that is assigned to the 3T2(3F)-> 3A2(3F) transition of Ni2+. It is observed that the asymmetric emission band is contributed from two Ni2+ centers, Ni2+(I) and Ni2+(ii), occupying Ge4+ site with the emission peaked at 1313 nm and Mg2+ site with the emission peaked at 1435 nm, respectively. It is found that the addition of Ti4+ and B3+ can significantly change the intensity ratio of the two Ni2+ centers and enhance the overall emission intensity. Moreover, the addition of Mn4+ results in only Ni2+(ii) emission. The origin of the unique features mentioned above is discussed. The temperature dependence of the NIR emissions is also studied. Finally a broadband NIR ii pc-LED with a moderate electro-optical conversion efficiency of 1.4 % is fabricated based on a 400 nm LED chip. The results indicate that the modified Mg14Ge5O24:Ni2+ is a potential broadband NIR ii phosphor for pc-LED applications.

In the field of image processing, optical neural networks offer advantages such as high speed, high throughput, and low energy consumption. However, most existing coherent optical neural networks (CONN) rely on coherent light sources to establish transmission models. The use of laser inputs and electro-optic modulation devices at the front end of these neural networks diminishes their computational capability and energy efficiency, thereby limiting their practical applications in object detection tasks. This paper proposes a partially coherent optical neural network (PCONN) transmission model based on mutual intensity modulation. This model does not depend on coherent light source inputs or active electro-optic modulation devices, allowing it to directly compute and infer using natural light after simple filtering, thus achieving full optical perception from light signal acquisition to computation and inference. Simulation results indicate that the model achieves a highest classification accuracy of 96.80% and 86.77% on the MNIST and Fashion-MNIST datasets, respectively. In a binary classification simulation test based on the ISDD segmentation dataset, the model attained an accuracy of 94.69%. It is estimated that this system's computational inference speed for object detection tasks is 100 times faster than that of traditional CONN, with energy efficiency approximately 50 times greater. In summary, our proposed PCONN model addresses the limitations of conventional optical neural networks in coherent light environments and is anticipated to find applications in practical object detection scenarios.
