Liquid crystal light valves for slow light and applications
The large dispersive properties of wave mixing in liquid crystal light-valves allow obtaining fast and slow light with tunable group velocities. A slow light interferometer is shown by using this interaction.
متن کاملAdaptive Holography in Liquid Crystal Light-Valves
By performing two-wave mixing experiments in a liquid crystal light-valve, optical beam amplification is obtained as a strongly resonant process to which a narrow frequency bandwidth is associated. This property is exploited to realize adaptive holographic interferometric systems able to efficiently detect displacements as small as fraction of picometers. Pressure radiation induced deformations...
متن کاملAdaptive Holography Interferometry in Liquid Crystal Light-valves
By performing two-beam coupling experiments in a liquid crystal light-valve, optical beam amplification is obtained as a strongly resonant process to which a narrow frequency bandwidth is associated. By exploiting this property, we realize an adaptive holographic interferometric system that is able to efficiently sensing displacements as small as fraction of picometers. The adaptive interferome...
متن کاملSlow-light photonic crystal switches and modulators
We discuss the performance of slow-light enhanced optical switches and modulators fabricated in silicon. The switch is based on photonic crystal waveguides in a directional coupler geometry, and the dispersion of the device is engineered to allow a switching length as short as 5 μm and rerouting of optical signals within 3 ps. The 3 ps switching time is demonstrated using free carriers in the s...
متن کاملLight transport regimes in slow light photonic crystal waveguides
The dispersive properties of waves are strongly affected by inevitable residual disorder in man-made propagating media, in particular in the slow wave regime. By a direct measurement of the dispersion curve in k space, we show that the nature of the guided modes in real photonic crystal waveguides undergoes an abrupt transition in the vicinity of a band edge. Such a transition that is not highl...
