Distortionless light pulse delay in quantum-well Bragg structures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a reflection scheme that allows Bragg-spaced semiconductor quantum wells to be used to trap, store, and release light. We study the temporal and spectral distortion of delayed light pulses and show that this geometry allows multibit delays and offers a high degree of distortion compensation.

Ultrafast nonlinear effects in one-dimensional photonic crystals
This thesis deals with the temporal dynamics of light interacting with a special class of nano-structures: so-called photonic crystals (PCs). The focus of these investigations is nonlinear phenomena on a sub-picosecond time scale. PCs are solid-state nano-structures with a spatially periodic dielectric function. They influence propagating light in an analogous manner to that of electronic motio...
متن کاملSlowing and switching of light in semiconductor quantum wells
After light became a part of the telecommunication system, the manipulation of light, especially the control of the speed of light, became a focus of research. By using the different approaches of the interaction between light and matter, there have been many successful attempts to slow down the speed of light, even to several meters per second. In the first part of my thesis, I studied pulse p...
متن کاملPhoton Counting for Bragg Spectroscopy of Quantum Gases
We demonstrate a photon-counting technique for detecting Bragg excitation of an ultracold gas of atoms. By measuring the response of the light field to the atoms, we derive a signal independent of traditional time-of-flight atom-imaging techniques. With heterodyne detection we achieve photon shot-noise limited detection of the amplification or depletion of one of the Bragg laser beams. Photon c...
متن کاملUnique Solution of Short Pulse Propagation in Nonlinear Fiber Bragg Grating
In this study, a new numerical method is introduced to obtain the exact shape of output pulse in the chalcogenide fiber Bragg grating (FBG). A Gaussian pulse shape with 173 ps width is used as an input pulse for lunching to a 6.6 mm nonlinear FBG. Because of bistable and hysteresis nature of nonlinear FBG the time sequence of each portion of pulse is affected the shape of output pulse. So we di...
متن کاملDiffraction of X-ray Pulse in Crystals
Recently the investigation of the extremely short (subpicosecond) X-ray pulses interaction with crystals takes interest because of the development of linac-driven X-ray Free Electron Laser, operating in the SASE mode and X-ray Volume Free Electron Laser [1, 2]. According to the analysis [3] short X-ray pulse passing through a crystal is accompanied by the significant time delay of radiation. Th...
