High efficiency quasi-optical mode converters for overmoded gyrotrons
This thesis reports on the design and experimental verification of two novel high efficiency quasi-optical mode converters for gyrotron oscillators. Gyrotrons produce high order TEm,p modes (m, p > > 1) at high frequencies (100-300 GHz). These modes must be converted to low order linearly polarized modes for transmission in corrugated waveguides or open mirror transmission lines. Because tradit...
متن کاملOptical Phase Space Contours
Advances in optical coherence tomography (OCT) rely on the availability of broadband light that is spatially coherent. We present a technique to characterize coherence properties of broadband light using optical phasespace contours in transverse momentum and position. We demonstrate that these contour plots can be directly measured by a simple heterodyne imaging scheme possessing high dynamic r...
متن کاملSupercontinuum generation with optical vortices.
We employ an optical vortex beam for the generation of femtosecond supercontinuum in a solid state medium. We demonstrate that the continuum generation process is initiated by the filamentation of the vortex, resulting in a spatially divergent continuum. Despite the strong self-focusing and the formation of multiple hot-spots along the vortex ring, the singularity is preserved in both the near-...
متن کاملPropagation dynamics of optical vortices due to Gouy phase.
We study the propagation of off-axis vortices in a paraxial beam formed by two collinear Laguerre-Gauss beams. We show that the vortices move about the beam axis as the light propagates resulting in a rotation of the beam's transverse profile. This rotation is explained by the Gouy phase acquired by the component beams. Experimental measurements of the angular position of the vortices are in go...
متن کاملDispersion Management and Optical Phase Conjugation in Optical Transmission Links with a Randomly Distributed Single-Mode Fiber Length
Suppressing or mitigating signal distortion due to group velocity dispersion and optical Kerr effects is necessary in ultrahigh speed and long-haul wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission systems. Dispersion management (DM), optical phase conjugation (OPC), and the combination of these two are promising techniques to compensate for signal distortion. In this paper, to implement a fl...
