Bistable Optically Writable Image Memory Using Optical Feedback

A novel, parallel aligned optically addressed liquid crystal spatial light modulator has been used to implement an optically writable image memory. The memory uses a two-beam interferometer with optical feedback which exhibits thresholding, hysteresis, and bistability. We discuss the characteristics of the system, and present the results of an experimental demonstration.Presented at the International Commission for Optics Topical Meeting, Kyoto, 1994.     

非球面光学系统设计、加工及检验的综合考虑

某研究所要求研制一台夜间红外观测系统 ,观测波段为 3～ 5 μm ,焦距 f =90 0mm ,相对口径为 1∶4,视场角 2ω =0 8°。红外焦平面是已有的 ,其冷屏直径为Φ5mm ,冷屏至焦面的距离为 2 0mm。由于从设计开始 ,要求完成的时限很短 ,因此必须将缩短加工周期的问题作为重要因素来考虑。工作在 3～ 5 μm波段 ,首选的必然是非球面反射系统 ,而非球面的加工与检验的难易直接和其参数有关。因此在评价设计结果时 ,不能仅从像质好坏来看 ,还要看其需要的加工周期长短。接受到任务之后 ,首先找到了可行的方案 ,然后设计了几个具体的系统 ,在比较了两个最可行的设计结果之后 ,选择了其中之一。

Generation of Circular Optical Vortex Array

We report on a novel optical vortex array named circular optical vortex array, which is generated by the superposition of two concentric perfect optical vortices. The circular optical vortex array has a constant topological charge of +1 or ?1, the number and sign of which are determined by the topological charges of the two perfect optical vortices. Moreover, the radius of the circular optical vortex array is easily adjusted by using the cone angle of an axicon. Furthermore, the circular optical vortex array and multiple circular optical vortex array can be rotated by changing the initial phase difference of the perfect optical vortices on demand. This work demonstrates a complex structured optical field, which is of significance for applications such as optical tweezers, micro‐particle manipulation, and optical imaging.

High contrast all-optical diode based on direction-dependent optical bistability within asymmetric ring cavity

We propose a simple all-optical diode which is comprised of an asymmetric ring cavity containing a two-level atomic ensemble. Attributed to spatial symmetry breaking of the ring cavity, direction-dependent optical bistability is obtained in a classical bistable system. Therefore, a giant optical non-reciprocity is generated, which guarantees an all-optical diode with a high contrast up to 22 d B. Furthermore, its application as an all-optical logic AND gate is also discussed.

10 Gb/s Reconfigurable Optical Logic Gate Using a Single Hybrid-Integrated SOA-MZI

Abstract

A novel reconfigurable Boolean device based on a single Mach-Zehnder interferometer with semiconductor optical amplifiers is demonstrated at 10 Gb/s using intensity return-to-zero modulated signals. The experimental results show that the device can be dynamically reconfigured to operate as a logic XOR, AND, OR, and NOT gate using optical switches. By properly adjusting the input powers, an extinction ratio higher than 10 dB may be obtained. The potential of integration of this architecture makes it an interesting approach in photonic computing and optical signal processing.

Efficiency improvement of optical pattern recognition in ultra-fast all-optical intensity equalizer

To cope with a larger intensity fluctuation of optical signals in optical communication networks, we have proposed and demonstrated an ultra-fast all-optical intensity equalizer based on an optical pattern recognition technique. To achieve higher transfer efficiency for this equalizer, we designed and fabricated a highly-efficient optical amplitude-phase filter using a diffractive optical element for optical pattern recognition. The fabricated amplitude-phase filter provides a diffraction efficiency of 85%, and the all-optical intensity equalizer is demonstrated to have higher transfer efficiency, when this filter is used.     

Fundamental limits on the losses of phase and amplitude optical actuators

Amplitude and phase are the basic properties of all wave phenomena; as far as optical waves are concerned, the ability to act on these variables is at the root of a wealth of switching devices. To quantify the performance of an optical switching device, an essential aspect is to determine the tradeoff between the insertion loss and the amplitude or phase modulation depth. Here it is shown that every optical switching device is subject to such a tradeoff, intrinsically connected to the dielectric response of the materials employed inside the switching element itself. This limit finds its roots in fundamental physics, as it directly derives from Maxwell's equations for linear dielectrics, and is hence applicable to a wide class of optical components. Furthermore, a result is that concepts such as filtering, resonance, and critical coupling could be of advantage in approaching the limit.
