Optically pumped lasing of pyrromethene 597 in 2D columnar photonic crystals (PCs) derived from holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (LCs, see Figure) exhibit resolution-limited linewidths of 1.9 nm and thresholds of less than 200 mu J cm(-2). Electric field modulation of the LC directors allows tuning of the laser mode over 5 nm. Use of PC properties that go beyond those associated with the photonic bandgap may lead to organic-based PCs for linear/nonlinear nanophotonics.

A distributed-feedback semiconductor laser array with buried heterostructure waveguide based on reconstruction equivalent chirp technique is experimentally demonstrated. The fabricated six-element laser array has channel spacing of 800 GHz and well meets the International Telecommunication Union standard, with relatively low threshold and high efficiency. Good single-longitudinal mode operation has been achieved at high injection current (120 mA) and high temperature (80 degrees C), with side mode suppression ratios not lower than 40 dB, which is promising for the future wavelength division multiplexing systems.

Standard optical lithography relying on clean room and microelectronic facilities is used to fabricate a thin-flexible metamaterial absorber, designed to operate at submillimeter wavelengths over the 0.1-1 THz frequency band. Large terahertz absorption has been demonstrated numerically and through experimental measurements with a maximum level of about 80%. We put emphasis in this present work on the use of single-sized "meta-cells" to achieve multiple absorption peaks. Furthermore, the use of a thin-flexible dielectric spacer makes it promising for stealth technology applications in order to disguise objects and make them less visible to radar and other detection methods.

The increasing use of few-mode fibers for high-speed optical communication systems in space division multiplexing has created a need for mode resolved characterization of few-mode fibers. In this Letter, we present a new method to characterize the bend loss of the individual modes in a few-mode fiber. This procedure uses a simple setup for spatially and spectrally resolved imaging and allows the measurement of the bend loss of each and every guided mode at once. It does not require the use of mode converters in contrast to other methods. Results for graded-index two-and four-mode fibers are presented, together with comparisons against direct bend-loss measurements for the four-mode and standard single-mode fibers.

A spectrally adjustable monolithic dual-wavelength diode laser at 785 nm as an excitation light source for shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS) is presented. The spectral distance between the two excitation wavelengths can be electrically adjusted between 0 and 2.0 nm using implemented heater elements above the distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) gratings. Output powers up to 180mWat a temperature of 25 degrees C were measured. The spectral width is smaller than 13 pm, limited by the spectrum analyzer. The device is well-suited for Raman spectroscopy, and the flexible spectral distance allows a target-specific adjustment of the excitation light source for shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS).

A method based on laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for monitoring lead and copper accumulation in edible fish, particularly "tilapia del Nilo" (Oreochromis niloticus) is presented. The capability of this analytical method is compared with results obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry. Detection limits by LIBS are 25 parts per million (ppm) for Pb and 100 ppm for Cu, values that are below the maximum permissible levels of some international standards. Application of LIBS detection allows the development of portable instruments for contamination control of edible fish. (C) 2016 Optical Society of America

We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first experimental demonstration of a new imaging system for in situ measurement of the two-dimensional (2D) distribution of the surface temperature of microscopic specimens. The main component of the system is an imaging tandem acousto-optical tunable filter (TAOTF) synchronized with a video camera. A set of TAOTF spectroscopic images (up to a few hundreds) is taken by the TAOTF imaging system to fit the measured spectral curves in each pixel to the Planck radiation function and determine the temperature and emissivity of the sample using the gray body approximation. It is experimentally shown that this technique provides aberration-free spectral imaging suitable for precise multispectral imaging radiometry (MIR). (C) 2016 Optical Society of America

We theoretically study a low-threshold band-edge lasing in three-dimensional photonic crystals (PhCs) with a face-centered cubic lattice structure, using a complex-valued permittivity approach combined with the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method. We show that the lasing threshold at the low-frequency band edge is smaller than that at the high-frequency band edge for the first-order stop band of the PhC. We also analyze the impact of the number of the PhC's layers on the frequency of band-edge lasing and the lasing threshold near the first-order stop band in the GL direction, and demonstrate a broad tunability of the lasing frequency with change in the emission collection angle. The obtained results are beneficial for the performance enhancement of tunable, PhC-based chip lasers. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America

A tunable optical microwave generation scheme using self-injection locked monolithic dual-wavelength amplified feedback laser (AFL) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By using a dual-loop feedback scheme, the 3-dB linewidth of the optical microwave output resulting from mode beating is reduced from MHz to kHz scale. Optical microwave generation tunable from 30 to 38 GHz with 3-dB linewidth below 2 kHz is experimentally demonstrated. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America

详细信息
The bandwidth of titanium sapphire (Ti:Sa) laser amplifiers can be greatly broadened with shaping the spectral gain via engineering the spectral polarization of amplified pulses and using both pi- and sigma-cross-sections. In a proof-of-principle experiment, an amplification bandwidth exceeding 85 nm at a gain of 200 was demonstrated. The accompanying computer modeling revealed that a polarization-encoded chirped pulse amplification scheme can be scaled to higher energies and thus can produce multijoule pulses with bandwidth close to 200 nm, making few-cycle petawatt Ti: Sa systems feasible.
