Ultrafast WDM Logic - Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, IEEE Journal on

چکیده
Ultrafast all-optical logic gates that accept optical inputs in which wavelength designates bit position within the overall byte are proposed and demonstrated. Four-wave mixing is shown to provide a conditional test function that can be used to construct any multi-input logic gate. Polarization provides the logic state for each bit. Implementations that use semiconductor optical amplifiers as the four-wave mixing medium can be monolithic and compact.

Terahertz Waveform Synthesis Via Optical Pulse Shaping - Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, IEEE Journal on
We describe the principles of free-space terahertz waveform synthesis by using a programmable optical pulse shaper to drive a photoconducting dipole antenna. We illustrate this technique using several experimental examples, including manipulation of the amplitude and the phase of ultrafast terahertz waveforms as well as generation of ultrafast bit sequences at terahertz frequencies. We present ...

متن کاملPolarization Effects in Optical Coherence Tomography of Various Biological Tissues.
Polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) was used to obtain spatially resolved ex vivo images of polarization changes in skeletal muscle, bone, skin and brain. Through coherent detection of two orthogonal polarization states of the signal formed by interference of light reflected from the biological sample and a mirror in the reference arm of a Michelson interferometer, the ...
متن کاملGuest editorial WDM-based network architectures
R ECENT developments in wavelength division multi-plexing (WDM) technology have led to a tremendous amount of commercial and research interest in WDM-based networks. Until recently, WDM has been used primarily for point-to-point long haul transmission. However, with the emergence of WDM networking components, people are beginning to design and deploy WDM-based networks that take advantage of th...
متن کاملSubpicosecond Imaging System Based On Electrooptic Effect - Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, IEEE Journal on
This work presents an ultrafast, interferometric electrooptic sampling system that uses a two-dimensional detector array to image the electric field present on a device. Spatial and temporal resolution are comparable to conventional “point” electrooptic sampling systems, <5 m and <1 ps, respectively. Voltage sensitivity is expected to be 270 mV and may achieve less than 4 mV with sensor cooling...
