Polarization-dependent spectral broadening of femtosecond pulses in silicon waveguides
We investigate the polarization dependence of the spectral broadening of femtosecond pulses inside silicon waveguides by using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. Our FDTDmodel includes the anisotropic dependency of predominant nonlinear effects in silicon: Kerr effect, two-photon absorption, and Raman effect. In addition, free-carrier absorption and free-carrier dispersion effect...
متن کاملFemtosecond Laser Pulses and Pulse Shaping
The experiments in this thesis have been performed using femtosecond laser pulses at different wavelengths. The second and third harmonic of of the fundamental output (800 nm) of a commercial laser have been used in several experiments. In other experiments laser pulses in the visible were required. A homebuilt non-collinear optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) has been used to generate tunable ...
متن کاملA Real-Time Terahertz Time-Domain Polarization Analyzer with 80-MHz Repetition-Rate Femtosecond Laser Pulses
We have developed a real-time terahertz time-domain polarization analyzer by using 80-MHz repetition-rate femtosecond laser pulses. Our technique is based on the spinning electro-optic sensor method, which we recently proposed and demonstrated by using a regenerative amplifier laser system; here we improve the detection scheme in order to be able to use it with a femtosecond laser oscillator wi...
متن کاملPulse-Shaping Techniques Theory and Experimental Implementations for Femtosecond Pulses
Femtosecond pulses are used in many fields due to their specificities of extreme short duration, ultra high peak power or large spectral bandwidth. Since the early days of the laser in the 60s, there has been a continous quest to generate shorter and or higher peak power pulses. Reliable generation of pulses below 100fs occurred the first time in 1981 with the invention of the colliding pulse m...
متن کاملMultibeam second-harmonic generation by spatiotemporal shaping of femtosecond pulses.
We present a technique for efficient generation of the second-harmonic signal at several points of a nonlinear crystal simultaneously. Multispot operation is performed by using a diffractive optical element that splits the near-infrared light of a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser into an arbitrary array of beams that are transformed into an array of foci at the nonlinear crystal. We show that, for...
