A Noveltime-domain Technique for Nonparaxial Ultra Short Optical Pulses

A novel nonparaxial technique based on Pade approximant for modeling ultra short optical pulses has been discussed and verified. The characterization of the technique shows excellent performance in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and stability where the tradiFigure 4 Variation of return loss with frequency for S-MP&SLGPMRMSA-OPMS when Ls1 14 mm.

Deformation of ultra-short laser pulses by optical systems for laser scanners.

Current experiments of processing glass with ultra-short laser pulses (< 1 ps) lead to scan angle depending processing results. This scan angle depending effect is examined by simulations of a common focusing lens for laser scanners. Due to dispersion, focusing lenses may cause pulse deformations and increase the pulse duration in the focal region. If the field angle of the incoming laser beam ...

Optical Interconnects to Silicon Chips Using Short Pulses

Processor speeds continue to increase rapidly due to the scaling of CMOS line-widths, but electrical interconnect speeds have not grown at the same rate. The loss mechanisms in electrical interconnects limit their ultimate capacity. Optical interconnects have the potential to alleviate this interconnect bottleneck. At short scales such as board-to-board, chip-to-chip, and on-chip, the important...

Dispersive effects on optical information storage in Bose-Einstein condensates using ultra-slow short pulses

We investigate potential of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates as dynamic memory devices for coherent optical information processing. Specifically, the number of ultra-slow pulses that can be simultaneously present within the storage time in the condensate has been analyzed. By modelling short pulse propagation through the condensate, taking into account high-order dispersive properties, constrai...
