Optical 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...

In this study, a new approach for simulation of electric field enhancement ofplane wave laser around optical antenna was used to convert free-propagating opticalradiation to localized energy. A tapered gold tip design as a novel geometry of opticalantenna is introduced and numerically analyzed based on particle swarm optimization(PSO) by solving the Maxwell equations wit...
متن کاملLong Period Fiber Grating Produced by Arc Discharges
Fiber Gratings are found among the most popular devices widely used in both, optical communications and optical fiber sensing. Within optical communication networks, optical fiber-based devices perform critical operations such as coupling/splitting, wavelengthselective filtering, and optical switching (Han, Y. G. et al., 2004; An H. et al., 2004; Eggleton B. J. et al., 1997). In the field of op...
متن کاملFabrication Techniques for Integrated-Optical Grating-Based Devices
We use a combination of several different types of lithography to generate Bragg-grating devices. In interference lithography, two coherent laser beams are crossed, generating a standing-wave interference pattern. This standing-wave pattern is used to expose photoresist, yielding a coherent deep-submicron-period grating. This grating can be used directly as the device grating or it can serve as...
متن کاملPolarization Dependence Suppression of Optical Fiber Grating Sensor in a π-Shifted Sagnac Loop Interferometer
In the sensing applications of optical fiber grating, it is necessary to reduce the transmission-type polarization dependence to isolate the sensing parameter. It is experimentally shown that the polarization-dependent spectrum of acousto-optic long-period fiber grating sensors can be suppressed in the transmission port of a π-shifted Sagnac loop interferometer. General expressions for the tran...
