    Design of invisibility cloaks with an open tunnel2010In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 18, no 26, p. 27060-27066Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper we apply the methodology of transformation optics for design of a novel invisibility cloak which can possess an open tunnel. Such a cloak facilitates the insertion (retrieval) of matter into (from) the cloak's interior without significantly affecting the cloak's performance, overcoming the matter exchange bottleneck inherent to most previously proposed cloak designs. We achieve this by applying a transformation which expands a point at the origin in electromagnetic space to a finite area in physical space in a highly anisotropic manner. The invisibility performance of the proposed cloak is verified by using full-wave finite-element simulations. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America

    Influence of base-region thickness on the performance of Pnp transistor-VCSEL2014In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 22, no 22, p. 27398-27414Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We have recently reported a 980nm GaAs-based three terminal Pnp transistor-vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (TVCSEL) operating at room temperature with optical power up to 1.8mW. However, the current gain beta = Delta I-c/Delta I-b was near zero just before lasing and became negative after the lasing threshold. The main cause of the negative current gain was found to be a gradual and position-dependent forward-biasing (saturation) of the base-collector junction with increasing bias even before lasing threshold. In this article, detailed multi-physics device simulations are performed to better understand the device physics, and find ways to avoid the premature saturation of the base-collector junction. We have optimized the thickness of the base region as well as its doping concentration and the location of the quantum wells to ensure that the T-VCSEL is in the active mode throughout its range of operation. That is, the emitter-base junction is forward biased and base-collector junction is reversed biased for sweeping the excess charges out of the base region.

    Acousto-optic interaction in polyimide coated optical fibers with flexural waves2017In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 25, no 15, p. 17167-17173Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Acousto-optic coupling in polyimide-coated single-mode optical fibers using flexural elastic waves is demonstrated. The effect of the polyimide coating on the acoustooptic interaction process is analyzed in detailed. Theoretical and experimental results are in good agreement. Although the elastic attenuation is significant, we show that acousto-optic coupling can be produced with a reasonably good efficiency. To our knowledge, it is the first experimental demonstration of acousto-optic coupling in optical fibers with robust protective coating.

    An apodized SOI waveguide-to-fiber surface grating coupler for single lithography silicon photonics2011In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 19, no 4, p. 3592-3598Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of a grating for coupling between a single mode silica fiber and the TE mode in a silicon photonic waveguide on a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate. The grating is etched completely through the silicon device layer, thus permitting the fabrication of through-etched surface coupled silicon nanophotonic circuits in a single lithography step. Furthermore, the grating is apodized to match the diffracted wave to the mode profile of the fiber. We experimentally demonstrate a coupling efficiency of 35% with a 1 dB bandwidth of 47 nm at 1536 nm on a standard SOI substrate. Furthermore, we show by simulation that with an optimized buried oxide thickness, a coupling efficiency of 72% and a 1 dB bandwidth of 38 nm at 1550 nm is achievable. This is, to our knowledge, the highest simulated coupling efficiency for single-etch TE-mode grating couplers. In particular, simulations show that apodizing a conventional periodic through-etched grating decreases the back-reflection into the waveguide from 21% to 0.1%.

    Two-stage design method for realization of photonic bandgap structures with desired symmetries by interference lithography2004In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 12, no 6, p. 978-983Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Interference lithography for the fabrication of photonic crystals is considered. A two-stage design method for realization of photonic bandgap structures with desired symmetries is developed. An optimal photonic crystal with a large bandgap is searched by adjusting some parameters while keeping some basic symmetry of the unit cell unchanged. A nonlinear programming method is then used to find the optimal electric field vectors of the laser beams and realize the desired interference pattern. The present method is useful for a rational and systematical design of new photonic bandgap structures.

    Simultaneous rotation, orientation and displacement control of birefringent microparticles in holographic optical tweezers2013In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 21, no 1, p. 102-111Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We report the experimental implementation of a new method for generating multiple dynamical optical tweezers, where each one of them is generated with an independent linear polarization state with arbitrary orientation. This also allows an independent simultaneous polarization-rotation control. The laser beam, both for generating multiple traps and polarization control, has been modulated using a single reflective nematic liquid crystal with parallel alignment. We present experimental results of controlled displacement, orientation and rotation of birefringent particles. In addition, a simple method for estimating and canceling out the primary astigmatism present in the system is presented.

    Single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber assisted high-power mode-locking of a Ti:sapphire laser2011In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 19, no 8, p. 7833-7838Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We report on passive mode-locking of a Ti:sapphire laser employing a single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA) specially designed and fabricated for wavelengths near 800 nm. Mode-locked pulses as short as 62 fs were generated at a repetition rate of 99.4 MHz. We achieved output powers from the SWCNT-SA mode-locked laser as high as 600 mW with a slope efficiency of 26%. The characteristics of SWCNT-SA-assisted mode-locking were compared with those of Kerr-lens mode-locking without SWCNT-SA.

    Bragg gratings in thin-film LiNbO3 waveguides2017In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Optics Express, ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 25, no 26, p. 32323-32332Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We design, fabricate and characterize sidewall corrugated Bragg gratings in a high confinement integrated optics lithium niobate platform, comprising submicrometric photonic wires, tapers and grating couplers to interface off-chip standard telecom optical fibers. We analyze the grating performance as band-rejection filter for TE-polarized signals in the telecom C-band, considering both rectangular and sinusoidal sidewall profiles, and demonstrate record extinction ratios as high as 27 dB and rejection bandwidths as narrow as 3 nm. The results show the potential for an efficient integration of novel photonic functionalities into low-footprint LiNbO3 nonlinear and electro-optical waveguide devices.

    Spatial coherence determination from the Fourier analysis of a resonant soft X-ray magnetic speckle pattern2016In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 24, no 20, p. 23162-23176Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We present a method to determine the two-dimensional spatial coherence of synchrotron radiation in the soft X-ray regime by analyzing the Fourier transform of the magnetic speckle pattern from a ferromagnetic film in a multidomain state. To corroborate the results, a Young's double-pinhole experiment has been performed. The transverse coherence lengths in vertical and horizontal direction of both approaches are in a good agreement. The method presented here is simple and gives a direct access to the coherence properties of synchrotron radiation without nanostructured test objects.

    Demonstration of slot-waveguide structures on silicon nitride / silicon oxide platform2007In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 15, no 11, p. 6846-6856Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We report on the first demonstration of guiding light in vertical slot-waveguides on silicon nitride/silicon oxide material system. Integrated ring resonators and Fabry-Perot cavities have been fabricated and characterized in order to determine optical features of the slot-waveguides. Group index behavior evidences guiding and confinement in the low-index slot region at O-band (1260-1370nm) telecommunication wavelengths. Propagation losses of < 20 dB/cm have been measured for the transverse-electric mode of the slot-waveguides.

    Scanning inverse fluorescence correlation spectroscopy2014In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 22, no 11, p. 13073-13090Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Scanning Inverse Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (siFCS) is introduced to determine the absolute size of nanodomains on surfaces. We describe here equations for obtaining the domain size from cross-and auto-correlation functions, measurement simulations which enabled testing of these equations, and measurements on model surfaces mimicking membranes containing nanodomains. Using a confocal microscope of 270 nm resolution the size of 250 nm domains were estimated by siFCS to 257 +/- 12 nm diameter, and 40 nm domains were estimated to 65 +/- 26 nm diameter. Applications of siFCS for sizing of nanodomains and protein clusters in cell membranes are discussed.

    Stretching-tunable external-cavity laser locked by an elastic silicone grating2006In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 14, no 25, p. 11982-11986Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We demonstrate wavelength locking of a diode laser at 760 nm with feedback from an elastic transmission grating in the Littrow configuration. The laser was in a single longitudinal mode with a side-mode suppression of 20 dB. By stretching the grating the laser could be tuned over a few nm. The grating was fabricated in a silicone elastomer ( polydimethylsiloxane) by a moulding technique, and coated by a thin layer of Ti and Au to achieve an increased diffraction efficiency needed for efficient locking.

    High-resolution computed tomography with a compact soft x-ray microscope2009In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 17, no 13, p. 11057-11065Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Computed tomography based on high-resolution soft x-ray microscopy utilizes the natural contrast for biological specimens provided by the water window (lambda = 2.4 - 4.4 nm) and the high resolving power of zone plate objectives. It is capable of revealing the 3D structure of biological specimens at sub-visible-microscopic resolution. To date, the technique has only been available at synchrotron-based microscopes, which limits the researchers access. In the present paper we demonstrate high-resolution soft x-ray tomography with a laboratory zone-plate-based soft x-ray microscope. The specimen, a diatom mounted on a glass capillary, was reconstructed from a tilt series of 53 images covering 180 using a filtered back projection algorithm. The resolution of the tomogram was estimated to a half period of 140 nm using a differential-phase-residual method. Cryo-fixation, increased source brightness and extended-depth-of-focus objectives are important for pushing the resolution of compact systems for biological samples.

    Numerical model for tomographic image formation in transmission x-ray microscopy2011In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 19, no 12, p. 11578-11583Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We present a numerical image-formation model for investigating the influence of partial coherence, sample thickness and depth-of-focus on the accuracy of tomographic reconstructions in transmission x-ray microscopes. The model combines wave propagation through the object by finite difference techniques with Fourier methods. We include a ray-tracing model to analyse the origin of detrimental stray light in zone plate-based x-ray microscopes. These models allow optimization of x-ray microscopy systems for quantitative tomographic imaging of thick objects. Results show that both the depth-of-focus and the reconstructed local absorption coefficient are highly dependent on the degree of coherence of the optical system.

    The NanoMAX hard X-ray nanoprobe is the first beamline to take full advantage of the diffraction-limited storage ring at the MAX IV synchrotron and delivers a high coherent photon flux for applications in diffraction and imaging. Here, we characterize its coherent and focused beam using ptychographic analysis. We derive beam profiles in the energy range 6-22 keV and estimate the coherent flux based on a probe mode decomposition approach.

    Light absorption in conical silicon particles2013In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 21, no 3, p. 3891-3896Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The problem of the absorption of light by a nanoscale dielectric cone is discussed. A simplified solution based on the analytical Mie theory of scattering and absorption by cylindrical objects is proposed and supported by the experimental observation of sharply localized holes in conical silicon tips after high-fluence irradiation. This study reveals that light couples with tapered objects dominantly at specific locations, where the local radius corresponds to one of the resonant radii of a cylindrical object, as predicted by Mie theory.

    A AgGaSe2 nonlinear crystal placed in a coupled cavity is intracavity pumped by the similar to 1.85-mu m signal pulses of a 1.064-mu m pumped Rb: PPKTP doubly-resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO) operating at a repetition rate of 100 Hz. Using two samples cut for type-I and II phase-matching, the overall idler tunability of the singly-resonant AgGeSe2 OPO covers an unprecedented spectral range from 5.8 to similar to 18 mu m in the mid-IR.

    Abstract [en]

    We have realized the first demonstration of a table-top aerial imaging microscope capable of characterizing pattern and defect printability in extreme ultraviolet lithography masks. The microscope combines the output of a 13.2 nm wavelength, table-top, plasma-based, EUV laser with zone plate optics to mimic the imaging conditions of an EUV lithographic stepper. We have characterized the illumination of the system and performed line-edge roughness measurements on an EUVL mask. The results open a path for the development of a compact aerial imaging microscope for high-volume manufacturing.

    Singular-value decomposition for through-focus imaging systems2006In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 23, no 10, p. 2440-2448Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Singular-value decomposition (SVD) of a linear imaging system gives information on the null and measurement components of object and image and provides a method for object reconstruction from image data. We apply SVD to through-focus imaging systems that produce several two-dimensional images of a three-dimensional object. Analytical expressions for the singular functions are derived in the geometrical approximation for a telecentric, laterally shift-invariant system linear in intensity. The modes are evaluated numerically, and their accuracy confirmed. Similarly, the modes are derived and evaluated for a continuous image representing the limit of a large number of image planes.

    Singular-value decomposition of a tomosynthesis system2010In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 18, no 20, p. 20699-20711Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Tomosynthesis is an emerging technique with potential to replace mammography, since it gives 3D information at a relatively small increase in dose and cost. We present an analytical singular-value decomposition of a tomosynthesis system, which provides the measurement component of any given object. The method is demonstrated on an example object. The measurement component can be used as a reconstruction of the object, and can also be utilized in future observer studies of tomosynthesis image quality.

    Linearity of the pyramid wavefront sensor2006In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 14, no 25, p. 11925-11934Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The pyramid wavefront sensor is very similar to the Fourier knife-edge test, but employs dynamic modulation to quantify the phase derivative. For circular modulation, we compare approximate geometrical optics calculations, more exact diffraction calculations, and experimental results. We show that both the sinusoidal and the approximate linear relationship between wavefront derivative and wavefront sensor response can be derived rigorously from diffraction theory. We also show that geometrical, diffraction and experimental results are very similar, and conclude that the approximate geometrical predictions can be used in place of the more complex diffraction results.

    Phase retrieval in X-ray phase-contrast imaging suitable for tomography2011In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 19, no 11, p. 10359-10376Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In-line phase-contrast X-ray imaging provides images where both absorption and refraction contribute. For quantitative analysis of these images, the phase needs to be retrieved numerically. There are many phase-retrieval methods available. Those suitable for phase-contrast tomography, i.e., non-iterative phase-retrieval methods that use only one image at each projection angle, all follow the same pattern though derived in different ways. We outline this pattern and use it to compare the methods to each other, considering only phase-retrieval performance and not the additional effects of tomographic reconstruction. We also outline derivations, approximations and assumptions, and show which methods are similar or identical and how they relate to each other. A simple scheme for choosing reconstruction method is presented, and numerical phase-retrieval performed for all methods.

    Communication modes applied to axicons2004In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 12, no 3, p. 377-383Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The communication modes, which constitute a convenient method for the propagation and information analysis of optical fields, are formulated in the generalized axicon geometry. The transmitting region is the axicon’s annular aperture, and the observation domain is the optical axis containing the focal line segment. We show that in rotational symmetry one may employ the prolate spheroidal wave functions to represent the communication modes. Further, in usual circumstances the modes can be approximated by quadratic waves in the aperture domain and by sinc functions in the image domain. Both the exact communication modes and the approximate technique are confirmed numerically, with linear axicons as examples.

    Propagation of various dark hollow beams in a turbulent atmosphere2006In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 14, no 4, p. 1353-1367Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Propagation of a dark hollow beam (DHB) of circular, elliptical or rectangular symmetry in a turbulent atmosphere is investigated. Analytical formulas for the average intensity of various DHBs propagating in a turbulent atmosphere are derived in a tensor form based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral. The intensity and spreading properties of the DHBs in a turbulent atmosphere are studied numerically. It is found that after a long propagation distance a dark hollow beam of circular or non-circular eventually becomes a circular Gaussian beam (without dark hollow) in a turbulent atmosphere, which is much different from its propagation properties in free space. The conversion from a DHB to a circular Gaussian beam becomes quicker and the beam spot in the far field spreads more rapidly for a larger structure constant, a shorter wavelength, a lower beam order and a smaller waist size of the initial beam.

    Temperature dependence of the spectral characteristics of distributed-feedback resonators2018In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 26, no 4, p. 4892-4905Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We characterize the spectral response of a distributed-feedback resonator when subject to a thermal chirp. An Al2O3 rib waveguide with a corrugated surface Bragg grating inscribed into its SiO2 top cladding is experimentally investigated. We induce a near-to-linear temperature gradient along the resonator, leading to a similar variation of the grating period, and characterize its spectral response in terms of wavelength and linewidth of the resonance peak. Simulations are carried out, showing good agreement with the experimental results and indicating that the wavelength of the resonance peak is a result only of the total accumulated phase shift. For any chirp profile we are able to calculate the reflectivities at the resonance wavelength, and this information largely explains how the linewidth of the resonance changes. This result shows that the increase in linewidth is governed by the increase of the resonator outcoupling losses.

    Optical creation and erasure of the linear electrooptical effect in silica fiber2015In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 23, no 14, p. 18060-18069Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We study the creation and erasure of the linear electrooptical effect in silicate fibers by optical poling. Carriers are released by exposure to green light and displaced with simultaneous application of an internal dc field. The second order nonlinear coefficient induced grows with poling bias. The field recorded (similar to 10(8) V/m) is comparable to that obtained through classical thermal poling of fibers. In the regime studied here, the second-order nonlinearity induced (similar to 0.06 pm/V) is limited by the field applied during poling (1.2 x 10(8) V/m). Optical erasure with high-power green light alone is very efficient. The dynamics of the writing and erasing process is discussed, and the two dimensional (2D) field distribution across the fiber is simulated. (C) 2015 Optical Society of America

    Study of thermally poled fibers with a two-dimensional model2014In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 22, no 15, p. 17700-17715Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A two-dimensional (2D) numerical model is implemented to describe the movement of ions under thermal poling for the specific case of optical fibers. Three types of cations are considered (representing Na+, Li+ and H3O+) of different mobility values. A cross-sectional map of the carrier concentration is obtained as a function of time. The role of the various cations is investigated. The assumptions of the model are validated by comparing the predictions to experimental data of the time evolution of the nonlinearity induced. A variational analysis of poling parameters including temperature, poling voltage, sign of the bias potential and initial ionic concentrations is performed for a particular fiber geometry. The analysis allows identifying the impact of these parameters on the induced second-order nonlinearity in poled fibers.

    Frequency doubling has been achieved in femtosecond-laser-inscribed single-mode waveguides written in two periodically-poled potassium titanyl phosphate crystals. A conversion efficiency of 0.22 %W-1 was obtained for first-order quasi-phase matching at 980 nm and an efficiency of 0.02 %W-1 for third-order quasi-phase matching at 800 nm.

    Multi-tenant secret-key assignment over quantum key distribution networks2019In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 27, no 3, p. 2544-2561Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Quantum key distribution (QKD) networks are promising to progress towards widespread practical deployment over existing fiber infrastructures in the near future. Given the high cost and difficulty of deploying QKD networks, multi-tenancy becomes promising to improve cost efficiency for future QKD networks. In a multi-tenant QKD network, multiple QKD tenants can sham the same QKD network infrastructure to obtain secret keys for securing their data transfer. Since the secret-key resources are finite and precious in QKD networks, how to achieve efficient multi-tenant secret-key assignment (MTKA) to satisfy the secret-key demands of multiple QKD tenants over QKD networks becomes a significant problem. In this regard, this study addresses the MTKA problem over QKD networks. A new multi-tenant QKD network architecture is proposed based on software defined networking (SDN) and quantum key pool (QKP) techniques. A secret-key rate sharing scheme is presented and a heuristic algorithm is designed to implement efficient MTKA over QKD networks. A new performance metric, namely matching degree (MD) that reflects the balance between QKD network secret-key resources and QKD tenant requests, is defined and evaluated. Simulation studies indicate that high QKD tenant requests accommodation and efficient secret-key resource usage can be achieved via maximizing the value of MD.

    Abstract [en]

    This paper presents a novel and simple fiber monitoring system based on multi-wavelength transmission-reflection analysis for long-reach time and wavelength division multiplexing passive optical networks. For the first time, the full localization functionality of long-reach passive optical networks is possible with the proposed monitoring scheme, including supporting fault detection, identification, and localization in both feeder and distribution fiber segments. By measuring the transmitted and reflected/backscattered optical powers launched by an unmodulated continuous-wave optical source, the proposed solution is able to supervise the network with good spatial accuracy, a high detection speed and a low impact on data traffic. Both the theoretical analysis and experimental validation show that the proposed scheme is capable of providing an accurate fault monitoring functionality for long-reach time and wavelength division multiplexing passive optical networks.

    Abstract [en]

    We propose and implement a novel approach based on multi-wavelength Transmission-Reflection Analysis (MW-TRA) technique for monitoring lossy events (e.g. disconnected connectors, fiber breaks and fiber bendings) along an optical fiber link. By launching un-modulated continuous-wave lights carried by different wavelengths into the fiber and measuring their transmitted and reflected/backscattered optical powers, our proposed MW-TRA scheme is able to localize any lossy event (including both reflective and non-reflective) and to quantify the corresponding insertion and return losses with high accuracy.

    Abstract [en]

    We demonstrate a fabrication procedure for the direct integration of micro-ball lenses on planar integrated optical channel waveguide chips with the aim to reduce the divergence of light that arises from the waveguide in both horizontal and vertical directions. Fabrication of the lenses is based on photoresist reflow which is a procedure that allows for the use of photolithography for careful alignment of the lenses with respect to the waveguides and enables mass production. We present in detail the design and fabrication procedures. Optical characterization of the fabricated micro-ball lenses demonstrates a good performance in terms of beam-size reduction and beam shape. The beam half divergence angle of 1544 nm light is reduced from 12.4 degrees to 1.85 degrees.

    Chip based common-path optical coherence tomography system with an on-chip microlens and multi-reference suppression algorithm2016In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 24, no 12, p. 12635-12650Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We demonstrate an integrated optical probe including an on-chip microlens for a common-path swept-source optical coherence tomography system. This common-path design uses the end facet of the silicon oxynitride waveguide as the reference plane, thus eliminating the need of a space-consuming and dispersive on-chip loop reference arm, thereby obviating the need for dispersion compensation. The on-chip micro-ball lens eliminates the need of external optical elements for coupling the light between the chip and the sample. The use of this lens leads to a signal enhancement up to 37 dB compared to the chip without a lens. The light source, the common-path arm and the detector are connected by a symmetric Y junction having a wavelength independent splitting ratio (50/50) over a much larger bandwidth than can be obtained with a directional coupler. The signal-to-noise ratio of the system was measured to be 71 dB with 2.6 mW of power on a mirror sample at a distance of 0.3 mm from the waveguide end facet. Cross-sectional OCT images of a layered optical phantom sample are demonstrated with our system. A method, based on an extended Fourier-domain OCT model, for suppressing ghost images caused by additional parasitic reference planes is experimentally demonstrated.

    Band-rejection fiber filter and fiber sensor based on a Bragg fiber of transversal resonant structure2008In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 16, no 21, p. 16489-16495Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We propose a novel band-rejection fiber filter based on a Bragg fiber of transversal resonant structure, which can also be used as a fiber sensor. Defect layers are introduced in the periodic high/low index structure in the cladding of the Bragg fiber. Coupling between the core mode and the defect mode results in large confinement loss for some resonant wavelengths inside the band gap of the Bragg fiber. A segment of the Bragg fiber of transversal resonant structure can be used as a band-rejection fiber filter, whose characteristics are mainly determined by the defect layer. The loss peak wavelength of the Bragg fiber is dependent on the refractive index and the thickness of the defect layer which indicates its applications of refractive index and strain sensing.

    Vectorial effect of hybrid polarization states on the collapse dynamics of a structured optical field2016In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 24, no 24, p. 28143-28153Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The collapse dynamics of a structured optical field with a distribution of spatially-variant states of polarization (SoP) and a spiral phase in the field cross section is studied using the two-dimensional coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations. The self-focusing of a structured optical field with an inhomogeneous SoP distribution can give rise to new phenomena of collapse dynamics that is completely different from a scalar field. The collapse patterns are closely related to the topological charges of the vortexas well as the polarization, the initial power, and the SoP distribution in the field cross section. A single on-axis collapse or multiple off-axis partial collapses may occur due to the self-focusing effects of linearly, elliptically and circularly polarized components located at different positions of the field cross-section. The polarization in the core of the collapsing beam is always linearly polarized. The structured collapsing beams, which are driven by the vortex, propagate along a spiral trajectory in a saturated medium.

    Frequency-tunable circular polarization beam splitter using a graphene-dielectric sub-wavelength film2014In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 22, no 16, p. 19748-19757Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Manipulating the circular polarization of light is of great importance in chemistry and biology, as chiral molecules exhibit different physiological properties when exposed to different circularly polarized waves. Here we suggest a graphene/dielectric-stacked structure, which has both the properties of an epsilon-near-zero material and the high Hall conductivity of graphene. The proposed sub-wavelength structure demonstrates efficient manipulation of circular polarization properties of light. In a quite broad frequency range and at a large oblique incidence angle, the present magnetically active structure is transparent for one circularly polarized wave, and opaque for another. Such an effect can be further tuned by changing the magnitude of the applied magnetic field and chemical potential of graphene.

The overall conversion efficiency from 1 to 8 µm for broadband and narrowband operation is 4.0% and 3.1%, respectively, corresponding to quantum efficiencies of 31% and 23%.

    Photothermally tunable silicon-microring-based optical add-drop filter through integrated light absorber2014In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 22, no 21, p. 25233-25241Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    An optically pumped thermo-optic (TO) silicon ring add-drop filter with fast thermal response is experimentally demonstrated. We propose that metal-insulator-metal (MIM) light absorber can be integrated into silicon TO devices, acting as a localized heat source which can be activated remotely by a pump beam. The MIM absorber design introduces less thermal capacity to the device, compared to conventional electrically-driven approaches. Experimentally, the absorber-integrated add-drop filter shows an optical response time of 13.7 mu s following the 10%-90% rule (equivalent to a exponential time constant of 5 mu s) and a wavelength shift over pump power of 60 pm/mW. The photothermally tunable add-drop filter may provide new perspectives for all-optical routing and switching in integrated Si photonic circuits.

    Honeycomb-lattice plasmonic absorbers at NIR: anomalous high-order resonance2013In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 21, no 18, p. 20873-20879Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We design, fabricate and characterize a plasmonic honeycomb lattice absorber with almost perfect absorption at 1140 nm over a wide incident angle range. This absorber also possesses a narrow-band, angle-and polarization-dependent high-order resonance in the short-wavelength range, with a bandwidth of 19 nm and angle sensitivity of 3 nm per degree. The nature of this high-order absorption band is analyzed through finite-element simulations. We believe it is due to Bragg coupling of the incident light to the backward-propagating surface plasmon polariton through the periodic modulation of the structure. Such fine absorption bands can find applications in plasmonic sensors and spectrally selective thermal emitters.

    Metal-insulator-metal plasmonic absorbers: influence of lattice2014In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 22, no 25, p. 30807-30814Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We experimentally demonstrate three kinds of metal-insulator-metal based plasmonic absorbers consisting of arrays of gold nanodisks distributed in different lattices, including square, triangular and honeycomb lattices. It's found that resonances originated from localized surface plasmon undergo little changes with respect to different lattice distributions of the nanodisks. The interparticle coupling results in a minor bandwidth broadening of the fundamental mode. Different from square-and triangular-lattice absorbers, honeycomb-lattice absorber possesses a unique red-shifting (with respect to incident angles) narrow-band high-order mode, which originates from coupling of incident light to propagating surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves. Similar high-order mode can also be generated in square-lattice absorber by increasing the period so that a smaller reciprocal lattice vector can be introduced to excite the SPP mode. Furthermore, we show that two types of resonances can interact and create Fano-type resonances. The simulation results agree well with the experimental results. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America

    Plasmonic analog of microstrip transmission line and effect of thermal annealing on its propagation loss2013In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 21, no 2, p. 1639-1644Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We fabricated a plasmonic analog of the microwave microstrip transmission line and measured its propagation loss before and after thermal annealing. It is found that its propagation loss at 980 nm wavelength can be reduced by more than 50%, from 0.45 to 0.20 dB/μm, after thermal annealing at 300 °C. The reduction in loss can be attributed to the improved gold surface condition and probably also to the change in the metal's inner structure. Less evident loss reduction is noticed at 1550 nm, which is owing to extremely small portion of the modal electric field located in the metal regions at this wavelength.

    All-fiber devices based on photonic crystal fibers with integrated electrodes2009In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 17, no 3, p. 1660-1665Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A special kind of microstructured optical fiber is proposed and fabricated in which, in addition to the holey region (solid core and silica-air cladding), two large holes exist for electrode insertion. Either Bi-Sn or Au-Sn alloys were selectively inserted into the large holes forming two parallel, continuous and homogeneous internal electrodes. We demonstrate the production of a monolithic device and its use to externally control some of the guidance properties (e. g. polarization) of the fiber.

    Influence of polarization state, baud rate and PMD on non-linear impairments in WDM systems with mixed PM (D)QPSK and OOK channels2012In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 20, no 7, p. 8155-8160Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper we numerically investigate nonlinear impairments in a WDM system with mixed PM (D)QPSK and OOK channels. First we analyze the dependence of XPM and XPolM on SOP and baud rate in absence of PMD. In this case we find that the nonlinear impairments are highly dependent on relative SOP between the PM (D)QPSK and neighbouring OOK channels. The dependence on relative SOP is more pronounced in differential detection than in coherent detection. However, with increasing values of PMD this dependence decreases, and non-linear tolerance improves

    Evaluation of Pearson correlation coefficient and Parisi parameter of replica symmetry breaking in a hybrid electronically addressable random fiber laser2021In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 29, no 15, p. 24422-24433Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The hybrid electronically addressable random (HEAR) laser is a novel type of random fiber laser that presents the remarkable property of selection of the fiber section with lasing emission. Here we present a joint analysis of the correlations between intensity fluctuations at distinct wavelengths and replica symmetry breaking (RSB) behavior of the HEAR laser. We introduce a modified Pearson coefficient that simultaneously comprises both the Parisi overlap parameter and standard Pearson correlation coefficient. Our results highlight the contrast between the correlations and presence or not of RSB phenomenon in the spontaneous emission behavior well below threshold, replica-symmetric ASE regime slightly below threshold, and RSB phase with random lasing emission above threshold. In particular, in the latter we find that the onset of RSB behavior is accompanied by a stochastic dynamics of the lasing modes, leading to competition for gain intertwined with correlation and anti-correlation between modes in this complex photonic phase.

    A theoretical re-examination of giant transmission of light through a metallic nano-slit surrounded with periodic grooves2009In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 17, no 16, p. 13995-14000Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We show that the slit-to-groove distance for a maximal transmission through the nano-slit surrounded with periodic grooves cannot be predicted by the theory of constructive interference between the groove-generated surface plasmon wave (SPW) and the incident wave. A clear physical explanation is given for the dependence of the transmission on the slit-to-groove distance. It is shown that the influence to the transmission comes from three parts: the groove-generated SPW, the incident wave and the nano-slit-generated SPW. The groove-generated SPW is the main factor determining the local field distribution around the nano-slit opening. The influence of the incident wave is very weak when strong SPW is generated on the input surface by many periods of deep grooves. The nano-slit-generated SPW can also be considered as a disturbance to the light distribution on the input surface.
