Photorefractive ring resonator with seeding as an externally driven oscillator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on experimental and theoretical studies of a photorefractive ring resonator pumped by a 1.06 mm beam and injected with a weak, external, seeding beam. The competition between the two dominant gratings that form inside the photorefractive crystal leads to characteristic periodic oscillations in the intensity of the resonating beam, which originate from the frequency difference between the pump beam and the unidirectional oscillation beam. We show that such a system can be treated as a driven nonlinear oscillator.

Influence of photoconductivity and dielectric constant on an oscillation characteristics of a photorefractive resonator
In the present paper, photoconductive and dielectric dependence oscillation characteristics of a single photorefractive ring resonator have been studied for the case of non-degenerate two-wave mixing in photorefractive materials by employing the plane-wave approximation method. The influence of photoconductivity and dielectric constant of photorefractive materials on frequency of oscillation an...

متن کاملImproving the Triple Coupled Ring-Resonator Performance as an Optical Filter
In this paper, a three ring-resonator serially coupled is considered as an optical filter. We are going to improve the performance of the designed optical filter by increasing the quality factor and finesse of filtered wavelengths. The first and last rings are coupled to the bus waveguides that carry the input and output fields. The effect of coupling parameters and ring radii on the filtering ...
متن کاملAn energy-efficient readout circuit for resonant sensors based on ring-down measurement.
This paper presents an energy-efficient readout circuit for resonant sensors that operates based on a transient measurement method. The resonant sensor is driven at a frequency close to its resonance frequency by an excitation source that can be intermittently disconnected, causing the sensor to oscillate at its resonance frequency with exponentially decaying amplitude. By counting the zero cro...
متن کاملA monolithic radiation-pressure driven, low phase noise silicon nitride opto-mechanical oscillator.
Cavity opto-mechanics enabled radiation pressure (RP) driven oscillators shown in the past offer an all optical Radio Frequency (RF) source without the need for external electrical feedback. However these oscillators require external tapered fiber or prism coupling and non-standard fabrication processes. In this work, we present a CMOS compatible fabrication process to design high optical quali...
