Electron spin coherence can arise through a coherent superposition of two spin states in the conduction band of a semiconductor and can persist over remarkably long time and length scales. The robust nature of electron spin coherence makes it an excellent model system for exploring coherent quantum phenomena in semiconductors. This dissertation presents both spectral-and time-domain nonlinear o...

We propose a coherent optical and radio seamless network concept that allows broadband access without deployment of additional optical fibers within an optical fiber dead zone while enhancing network resilience to disasters. Recently developed radio-over-fiber (RoF) and digital coherent detection technologies can seamlessly convert between optical and radio signals. A millimeter-wave radio with...

Coherent light-matter interactions of direct-gap semiconductor nanostructures provide a great test system for fundamental research into quantum electronics and many-body physics. The understanding gained from studying these interactions can facilitate the design of optoelectronic devices. Recently, we have used optical two-dimensional Fourier-transform spectroscopy to explore coherent light-mat...

The scientific problems treated in this thesis are expressed within the framework of statistical optics and are generated out of the optical lithography industry. Optical lithography uses partially coherent light, i.e. light with a random wavefront, to increase the performance of the lithographic process. One of the goals of this work has been to explore ways to numerically simulate the behavio...

High Speed Integrated Circuits for High Speed Coherent Optical Communications by Hyun-chul Park With the development of (sub) THz transistor technologies, high speed integrated circuits up to sub-THz frequencies are now feasible. These high speed and wide bandwidth ICs can improve the performance of optical components, coherent optical fiber communication, and imaging systems. In current optica...

Optical fibres are favourable tabletop laboratories to investigate both coherent and incoherent nonlinear waves. In particular, exact solutions of the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation such as fundamental solitons or solitons on finite background can be generated by launching periodic, specifically designed coherent waves in optical fibres. It is an open fundamental question to kno...
