The Future of Gravitational Optics
Received ; accepted PASP Millenium Essay – 2 – ABSTRACT In this speculative, millenial essay, I try to anticipate what sort of novel gravitational optics investigations might be observed, after it becomes possible to map and monitor roughly a trillion sources (of which a billion may be usefully variable) comprehensively throughout electromagnetic and other spectra over the whole sky. Existing t...
متن کاملParallel phase modulation scheme for interferometric gravitational-wave detectors.
Advanced LIGO (aLIGO) requires multiple frequency sidebands to disentangle all of the main interferometer's length signals. This paper presents the results of a risk reduction experiment to produce two sets of frequency sidebands in parallel, avoiding mixed 'sidebands on sidebands'. Two phase modulation frequencies are applied to separate Electro-Optic Modulators (EOMs), with one EOM in each of...
متن کاملSelf-Phase Modulation in Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
This paper presents a detailed theoretical and experimental study of the impact of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) on self-phase modulation in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). A theoretical model of pulse propagation in SOAs is developed that includes the ASE power and its effect on gainsaturation and gain-recovery. We study the impact of ASE on the nonlinear phase shift, frequency...
متن کاملSelf-phase modulation in chirped-pulse amplification.
The effect of self-phase modulation in chirped-pulse amplification is investigated. A numerical model is used to predict the effects of phase modulation on pulse recompression, and experimental results are presented that agree well with the calculations. We show that even moderate self-phase modulation can significantly distort the recompressed pulse after amplification, thereby reducing the pe...
متن کاملSelf-phase-modulation of surface plasmon polaritons
We present an approach for calculating the nonlinear propagation of surface plasmon polaritons in onedimensional planar waveguides consisting of a metal slab or a semi-infinite metal bounded by linear dielectrics, starting with an assumed third-order nonlinearity that characterizes the nonlinear response of the metal. With this approach we model the self-phase-modulation of surface plasmon pola...
