The measurement of the spectral width of ultrashort light pulses using a Fabry–Pérot interferometer (FPI) is investigated.
It is shown, numerically and experimentally, that the measured width critically depends on the pulse properties (such as pulse
shape, pulse duration, frequency chirp and wavelength) and on the properties of the FPI (such as the mirror spacing and the
mirror reflectivities). The obtained results are of particular importance if the spatial length of the short light pulses
is comparable or even shorter than the distance between the FPI mirrors. The derived guideline indicate that the actual spectral
width of the ultrashort light pulses is measured with good accuracy only if the finesse F≥40 and the round trip time of the
light pulses inside the Fabry–Pérot interferometer is approximately one to three times the pulse duration.

The development of dynamic single-electron sources has made it possible to observe and manipulate the quantum properties of individual charge carriers in mesoscopic circuits. Here, we investigate multi-particle effects in an electronic Mach–Zehnder interferometer driven by a series of voltage pulses. To this end, we employ a Floquet scattering formalism to evaluate the interference current and the visibility in the outputs of the interferometer. An injected multi-particle state can be described by its first-order correlation function, which we decompose into a sum of elementary correlation functions that each represent a single particle. Each particle in the pulse contributes independently to the interference current, while the visibility (given by the maximal interference current) exhibits a Fraunhofer-like diffraction pattern caused by the multi-particle interference between different particles in the pulse. For a sequence of multi-particle pulses, the visibility resembles the diffraction pattern from a grid, with the role of the grid and the spacing between the slits being played by the pulses and the time delay between them. Our findings may be observed in future experiments by injecting multi-particle pulses into a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. 相似文献

A single-photon interferometer is a fundamental element in quantum information science. In most previously reported works, single-photon interferometers use an active feedback locking system to stabilize the relative phase between two arms of the interferometer. Here, we use a pair of beam displacers to construct a passively stable single-photon interferometer. The relative phase stabilization between the two arms is achieved by stabilizing the temperature of the beam displacers. A purely polarized single-photon-level pulse is directed into the interferometer input port. By analyzing and measuring the polarization states of the single-photon pulse at the output port, the achieved polarization fidelity of the interferometer is about 99.1 ±0.1%. Our passively stabilized single-photon interferometer provides a key element for generating high-fidelity entanglement between a photon and atomic memory. 相似文献

The physical conditions needed to observe the effects of longitudinal spatial coherence of emission of an extended thermal source are considered. Results of experiments on observation of interference pulses of longitudinal spatial coherence, performed using a scanning longitudinal shearing Michelson interferometer, are presented. Distinctions between the effects of temporal and longitudinal spatial coherence of light are established. It is shown that the presence of a noncompensated optical layer in one of the arms of the interferometer makes the interference pulses of the temporal and spatial coherence of light shift relative to each other (“recession”). 相似文献

An acoustic pulse propagating on a two-mode fiber can act as a beam splitter in a scanning interferometer. When this device
is employed in white-light interferometry, the effects of distributed coupling and dispersive interferometer arms need to
be considered. A theory suitable for treating acousto-optic interaction of partially coherent light in a moving interaction
region was developed. It was found that differential optical dispersion should be negligible and the acoustic pulse length
short. Also the coherence time should be short but long compared to the intermodal group delay difference over a pulse length.
Experiments with long acoustic pulses were performed, and fairly good agreement with theory was obtained. 相似文献

Modulation instability can be used to convert a continuous light wave into a train of pulses on a constant background. It is a longstanding discussion whether these pulses can be converted into solitons. We clarify the situation by using a more general mathematical context, invoking the Akhmediev breather, Peregrine soliton and Kuznetsov-Ma soliton solutions of the wave equation, and suggest the use of a Mach–Zehnder interferometer to remove the background. Expressions for the pulse widths and peak powers thus obtained are presented, and their soliton content is determined. It turns out that more than 95 % of each pulse’s energy can be converted to a soliton. 相似文献

The paper investigates the non-linear behavior of semiconductor optical amplifier with Mach–Zehnder interferometer (SOA-MZI) configuration which makes it to work as a logic gate. The two designs of NOR gate based on SOA-MZI have been verified. The basic principal of both designs are same. The summation of data pulses have been taken and inverted to perform a NOR operation. In the design, the first 3 dB coupler creates a phase difference of π/2 in clock pulse and data pulse while passing through two interferometer arms. The clock and data pulses pass through SOA which attenuates the clock pulse wherever the data pulse is present. After passing through second 3 dB coupler a phase difference of π/2 is again created. Therefore, if the clock pulse is in the same phase will be added and if it is out of phase, will be canceled. The designs have been investigated at different bit-rates to achieve higher extinction ratio (ER), Q-factor and bit-error rate (BER) for different pump currents of SOA. 相似文献

We present an analytical and experimental study of a novel confocal optical pulse stretcher (COPS). The simple and passive pulse stretcher consists of two concave mirrors and a scraper beam-splitter and its optical configuration ensures a perfect spatial overlapping of laser pulses at the beam-splitter. The pulse stretcher is compact and suitable for laser pulses of large divergences. The confocal optical pulse stretcher is demonstrated on a pulsed copper vapour laser to convert a 40 ns (1/e2 % points) pulse into a 55 ns with reduction of peak power by a factor of 1.375 without loss of pulse energy. 相似文献

Because of the power imbalance between the two arms of an interferometer in an electro-optic modulator (EOM), the output of the EOM is combined amplitude modulation (AM) and phase modulation (PM) for the probe signal consisting of the pulse and the dc component. Because of this PM, the Brillouin gain-loss spectrum becomes asymmetric. The central Brillouin frequency is shifted from that of an AM pulse. The maximum extinction ratio of the EOM is limited to approximately 29 dB for a power-splitting ratio of 51% to 49%. The asymmetric property induced by PM is not pulse shape dependent; for both Gaussian- and super-Gaussian-shaped pulses the Brillouin loss spectrum is symmetric for AM and asymmetric for combined AM and PM (power imbalance). 相似文献

A diode-pumped passively mode-locked Yb:CTGG disordered crystal laser has been demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge. With a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror for passive mode locking and two Gires–Tournois interferometer mirrors for dispersion compensation, pulses as short as 389 fs at a repetition rate of 45 MHz were obtained at the central wavelength of 1,037.8 nm. The maximum average power was 420 mW, corresponding to pulse energy of 9.3 nJ and peak power of 24 kW. 相似文献

Light pulses have proven to be a powerful and versatile tool to implement beam splitters and mirrors for matter waves enabling atom interferometers. However, for high‐precision measurements with such devices the specific realization is crucial and novel techniques might increase the sensitivity. To illustrate the diversity of light‐pulse beam splitting and the subtle differences between the diffraction mechanisms, we study atomic Raman, Bragg, and the new method of double Bragg diffraction in a coherent way. Moreover, we introduce a versatile formalism to determine the interference signal of a Mach‐Zehnder geometry and give an interpretation in terms of proper‐time difference. In addition, we explore the feasibility of a specular mirror for atoms, which might lead to an interferometer testing the equivalence principle. 相似文献

We report on a femtosecond nonlinear amplification fiber laser system using a vector-dispersion compressor, which consists of a transmission grating pair and multipass cell based Gires-Tournois interferometer mirrors. The mirror is designed with nearly zero group-delay dispersion and large negative third-order dispersion. As a result, the third-order dispersion of the compressor can be adjusted independently to compensate the nonlinear phase shift of amplified pulses to reduce the pulse pedestal. With this scheme, the system outputs 44 fs laser pulses with little wing at 26.6 W output average power and 531 nJ pulse energy, corresponding to 10.8 MW peak power. 相似文献

We report a compact thin-disk Yb:KYW regenerative amplifier system. Two different concepts are investigated to obtain either subpicosecond pulses with up to 160 μJ or a pulse energy of 20 μJ with a pulse width of about 300 fs. The first concept uses intra-cavity group-velocity dispersion compensation with Gires–Tournois interferometer mirrors to avoid pulse stretching during amplification. The onset of nonlinear effects in this concept inhibits the generation of shorter pulse durations at this energy level. Shorter pulses can be achieved with the second concept, which is based on dispersive pulse stretching during amplification and uses pulse compression after amplification with a grating compressor. Repetition rates up to 45 kHz are demonstrated.This revised version was published online in May 2005.

We present a new method for the measurement of the phase of ultrashort optical pulses with high spectral resolution. This
employs an interferometer with a monochromator in one arm. Two detectors operating in single photon and two-photon absorption
regimes monitor the output from the interferometer. Comparison of the signals from the two detectors gives a measurement of
the phase of the light pulse. The principles underpinning this technique are discussed and the experimental application to
picosecond pulses is demonstrated. 相似文献

Experimental study of a semiconductor laser diode having a Mach–Zehnder interferometer in the cavity
The performance of a semiconductor laser diode that has an asymmetric Mach–Zehnder interferometer all-optical switch in the cavity has been studied experimentally. This novel device was designed to be free from clock pulse insertion, since mode-locked optical pulses are generated internally and change the balance of the interferometer periodically. The device was fabricated using a InGaAsP/InP buried heterostructure and the primary optical properties of the device were investigated. Lasing characteristics that were peculiar to the twin-cavity structure were observed, i.e., continuous-wave lasing power oscillation in relation to the injection current balance between the two arms, and cyclic changes in the single/multiple emission peaks as a function of bias voltage at the saturable absorber. Electrical spectrum analysis indicated 40 GHz modulation of lasing output from the twin-cavity laser. 相似文献

We describe, and present experimental evidence to support, a new technique capable of producing sufficient frequency displacement and bandwidth compression to permit near perfect coincidence in frequency and width between the output of a CO2-TEA laser and a Doppler broadened absorption line. This is accomplished by replacing one of the laser end mirrors with a Michelson interferometer that is adjusted for destructive interference and by placing the absorbing gas in one of its arms. 相似文献
