Fiber cavities with integrated mode matching optics

Photonic Crystal Cavities - Nanophotonics and integrated optics

This whitepaper gives a general overview on different concepts of photonic crystal cavities. Important figures such as the transmission, the mode volume and the quality factor are discussed. The presented information will help the reader to decide which type of photonic crystal cavities will be most suited for the application in view. A design example for a WDM channel filter is given in order ...

Ultrafast Optics with a Mode-locked Erbium Fiber Laser

We describe an ultrafast optics advanced laboratory comprising a mode-locked erbium fiber laser, auto-correlation measurements, and a free-space parallel grating dispersion compensation apparatus. The simple design of the stretched pulse laser used nonlinear polarization rotation mode-locking to produce pulses as narrow as 108 fs, full-width at half-maximum, at a repetition rate of 55 MHz and a...

Computer Simulation and Performance Evaluation of Single Mode Fiber Optics

The goal of an optical fiber communication system is to transmit the maximum number of bits per second over the maximum possible distance with the fewest errors. Single mode optical fibers have already been one of the major transmission media for long distance telecommunication, with very low-losses and widebandwidth. The most important properties that affect system performance are fiber attenu...

Single Mode 3D Diffusive Photopolymer Optics for Optical Integrated Circuits

We demonstrate single mode three-dimensional optics fabricated via direct-write lithography in diffusive photopolymers, including uniform waveguides, symmetrical waveguide tapers, 90 OCIS codes: sharp waveguide bends and waveguides through thin hybrid subcomponents.
