متن کاملTools for quantum optics : Pulsed polarization - maintaining Er - doped fiber laser and spatial mode manipulation in spontaneous parametric downconversion
Two separate projects were undertaken to improve technology for entangled photon sources, useful for quantum optics. In one project, a pulsed, mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser, designed to be used as a seed laser for a 390 nm source, was built using polarization-maintaining components to address polarization drift. The fiber laser operated at a center wavelength of 1560.0 nm with an output ...
متن کاملNoise characterization of broadband fiber Cherenkov radiation as a visible-wavelength source for optical coherence tomography and two-photon fluorescence microscopy.
Optical sources in the visible region immediately adjacent to the near-infrared biological optical window are preferred in imaging techniques such as spectroscopic optical coherence tomography of endogenous absorptive molecules and two-photon fluorescence microscopy of intrinsic fluorophores. However, existing sources based on fiber supercontinuum generation are known to have high relative inte...
متن کاملChannel Error Estimation in Next Generation Optical Networks
The next generation optical network demands unprecedented performance due to ultra-high aggregate bandwidth and the many channels transported by a single fiber. In dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks, optical channels travel for hundreds of kilometers and thus they suffer from attenuation, noise, jitter, dispersion and other degradations due to photon-matter interactions. Amo...
متن کاملGeneration of Self-Pulsating source based on Regenerative SPM and Realizing High- qualityPulse source
We analyze the operation of the self pulsating source based on the cascaded effects of soliton self frequency shift and SPM. The CW super continuum signal is generated based on erbium gain inside the cavity and single mode propagation of a strong Raman pump laser source through a highly nonlinear fiber. The generation occurs due to the nonlinear effects such as modulation instability and stimul...
