Interferometric Method for the Study of Spatial Phase Modulation Induced by Light in Dye-doped Dna Complexes
An interferometric pump-probe method for the investigation of the spatial phase modulation induced by light in nonlinear optical samples is presented. The optical phase of a probe beam passing through the sample is modified by the refractive index change induced by a pump beam. Consequently, the fringe pattern obtained at the output of the interferometer is modified. A Fourier transform algorit...
متن کاملNonlinear phase matching locking via optical readout.
For optimal Chi((2)) nonlinear interaction the phase matching condition must be satisfied. For type I and type II phase matched materials, this is generally achieved by controlling the temperature of the nonlinear media. We describe a technique to readout the phase-matching condition interferometrically, and experimentally demonstrate feedback control in a degenerate optical parametric amplifie...
متن کاملDetector for an optical-fiber acoustic sensor using dynamic holographic interferometry.
It is shown that the acoustically induced phase modulation of coherent light propagating within a multimode optical fiber may be linearly detected by an interferometer employing an unmodulated replica of the fiber beam as the reference. It is proposed that a dynamic hologram provide such a reference. This technique allows a performance comparable with that of a monomode interferometric sensor t...
متن کاملOptical pulse compression based on nonlinear silicon waveguides and chirped Bragg gratings
Due to the growing demand for higher bandwidth, employing optical devices instead of electronic devices in data transmission systems has attracted much attention in recent years. Optical switches, modulators and wavelength converters are a few examples of the required optical devices. CMOS compatible fabrication of these devices, leads to much more growing of this technology. Optical pulse comp...
متن کاملDesign and Construction of a Sensitive Capasitive Sensor System (RESEARCH NOTE)
Design and construction of a capacitor sensor with a precise readout system are described in this paper. A variable air-gap capacitive transducer was constructed and for signalmeasurement a successful attempt was made to exploit the capacitance changes in terms of the phase angle of the detected signal. The reported setup makes it possible to detect capacitance changes of the order of 2.5 fF in...
