Optimization of optical limiting devices based on excited-state absorption.
Limiting devices protect sensitive optical elements from laser-induced damage (LID). Passive devices use focusing optics to concentrate the light through a nonlinear optical (NLO) element (or elements) to reduce the limiting threshold. Unfortunately, these NLO elements may themselves undergo LID for high inputs, restricting the useful dynamic range (DR). Recently, efforts at optimizing this DR ...
متن کاملDesign Characteristic and Performance Analysis of Hole Assisted Fiber for Long Haul Optical Fiber Networks
In conventional photonic crystal fibers (PCF’s),the cladding structure is usually formed by air holes with the same diameter arrayed in regular triangular lattice. However, in index guiding PCF’s means in Hole Assisted Fiber, the periodicity in the cladding region is not essential to confine the guiding light in to the high-index core region. Hole Assisted Fiber (HAF) technology is investigat...
متن کاملLong-distance decoy-state quantum key distribution in optical fiber.
The theoretical existence of photon-number-splitting attacks creates a security loophole for most quantum key distribution (QKD) demonstrations that use a highly attenuated laser source. Using ultralow-noise, high-efficiency transition-edge sensor photodetectors, we have implemented the first version of a decoy-state protocol that incorporates finite statistics without the use of Gaussian appro...
متن کاملSaturation spectroscopy of iodine in hollow-core optical fiber.
We present high-resolution spectroscopy of I(2) vapor that is loaded and trapped within the core of a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF). We compare the observed spectroscopic features to those observed in a conventional iodine cell and show that the saturation characteristics differ significantly. Despite the confined geometry it was still possible to obtain sub-Doppler features with ...
متن کاملTemperature-Dependent Excited State Absorption in DNA and LNA Oligomers Supports an Emerging Model of Excited State Dynamics in DNA
Transient absorption measurements of excited states in DNA and LNA were performed using a femtosecond pump-probe arrangement with excitation at 266 nm and absorption monitored at 400 nm while varying the sample temperature between 5 °C and 70 °C. Samples consisted of adenine monophosphate monomer, polyadenine 12-mer in singlestranded form, and polyadenine 12-mer in hybridized form. Excited stat...
