Spectral compression of single-photon-level laser pulse
We experimentally demonstrate that the bandwidth of single photons laser pulse is compressed by a factor of 58 in a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide chip. A positively chirped single photons laser pulse and a negatively chirped classical laser pulse are employed to produce a narrowband single photon pulse with new frequency through sum-frequency generation. In our experiment,...
متن کاملIncoherent pulse compression in laser range finder
Laser ranging measurements using incoherent pulse compression of complementary code pairs is reported. The two bipolar codes are converted to unipolar representations using a pulse position modulation algorithm, and used in succession in intensity modulation of a laser ranging source. Reflected echoes from a wall target are directly and incoherently detected. The cross-correlation between each ...
متن کاملStrong Photon-Photon Interactions at the Single-Photon Level
Engineering light at the single photon level is a long-standing goal in physics. In this thesis, we investigate optical nonlinearities at the single photon level orchestrated by an optical cavity. We demonstrate an all-optical transistor where one stored ‘gate’ photon controls the propagation of a ’source’ light beam. The system is based on EIT and a highcooperativity cavity. Each ’gate’ photon...
متن کاملSingle-shot femtosecond electron diffraction with laser-accelerated electrons: experimental demonstration of electron pulse compression.
We report the first experimental demonstration of longitudinal compression of laser-accelerated electron pulses. Accelerated by a femtosecond laser pulse with an intensity of 10¹⁸ W/cm², an electron pulse with an energy of around 350 keV and a relative momentum spread of about 10⁻² was compressed to a 500-fs pulse at a distance of about 50 cm from the electron source by using a magnetic pulse c...
متن کاملUltrafast pulse compression by semiconductor two-photon gain.
We demonstrate experimentally the compression of femtosecond-scale pulses by two-photon gain in a compact electrically driven AlGaAs waveguide. Dynamic control of the pulse width from 240 to 140 fs is achieved by varying the current injection levels--in good agreement with the calculations. The pulse width is measured by a high-sensitivity intensity autocorrelator based on two-photon absorption...
