Collisions of unipolar subcycle pulses in a nonlinear resonantly absorbing medium

Collisions of unipolar subcycle pulses in a nonlinear resonant medium that coherently interact with it are studied theoretically. The dynamics of spatial polarization structures and population difference that the pulses induce in the medium are analyzed. A surprising feature is that the medium is capable of “remembering” the result of the interaction with the pulses and their collisions during times comparable to the polarization relaxation time. An analysis of the dynamics of light-induced structures makes it possible to judge the parameters of subcycle pulses at the times longer than the pulse duration, which, in the future, can be useful in their detection.     

Superluminal to subluminal transition in the pulse propagation in a resonantly absorbing medium

We have examined the propagation of femtosecond laser pulses in an absorbing dye solution through a short to a long range of propagation distance. The transmitted pulses show strong spectral shift and a superluminal to subluminal transition in the propagation velocity keeping its initial shape almost intact. It is verified that the peak velocity is well described by a modified group velocity v(S) defined within the framework of the saddle-point method as well as by a recent prediction of the net group delay of surviving frequency.

A numerical study of solitary waves in a non-linear Bragg reflector

A two-dimensional time domain finite difference beam propagation method, based on the slowly varying envelope approximation is presented. Expressions to correct this approximation and to include third-order non-linear effects are given. The method is applied on solitary waves in a non-linear Bragg reflector, assuming realistic materials parameters.     

Intensity noise reduction in a multiwavelength distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser

Noise reduction in a multiwavelength distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser was demonstrated. A 20 dB reduction of in-phase intensity noise was achieved by using negative feedback to modulate the drive current of the laser pump diode. Strategies for reducing antiphase noise components are discussed.     

An anomalous correlator of resonantly scattered light

The space-time properties of the correlator of the light intensities scattered from resonant atoms are studied. It is shown that in measuring such a correlator by the method of optical shifts, an appreciable contribution appears from the anomalous correlator of the scattered field amplitudes. It is simple to observe this correlator in the field of a standing wave by measuring the correlation of oppositely scattered rays. The spectral and polarization properties of such a correlator are studied. Its investigation is of interest for high-resolution spectroscopy because it allows information to be obtained on the natural width of a line in conditions of strong Doppler broadening. It is important to stress that this is possible in a linear approximation with respect to the strength of the external field in contrast to the methods of laser spectroscopy based on nonlinear effects.     

Analysis of sensitivity and low-frequency intensity noise characteristics of Bragg reflector lasers induced by reflected light

An analysis of the sensitivity and low-frequency intensity noise characteristics of Bragg reflector lasers is given. It is found that Bragg reflector lasers have increased sensitivity to reflected light for low grating coupling strength (l) and is similar to that of Fabry-Perot lasers except for highl values. Also, the intensity noise can be reduced by operating the device at high injection level.     

Quasiclassical dynamics of resonantly driven Rydberg states

We present a semiclassical analysis of the dynamics of Rydberg states of atomic hydrogen driven by a resonant microwave field of linear polarization. The semiclassical quasienergies of the atom in the field are found to be in very good agreement with the exact quantum solutions. The ionization rates of individual eigenstates of the atom dressed by the field reflect their quasiclassical dynamics along classical periodic orbits in the near integrable regime, but exhibit a transition to nonspecific rates when global chaos takes over in phase space. We concentrate both on the principal resonance where the unperturbed Kepler frequency is equal to the driving field frequency and on the higher primary resonance The latter case allows for the construction of nondispersive wave packets which propagate along Kepler ellipses of intermediate eccentricity.

Multi-mode coupling analysis of a sub-terahertz band planar corrugated Bragg reflector

Planar Bragg reflector operating in the sub-terahertz wavelength installed at the upstream end of a sheet beam backward wave oscillator(BWO) is very promising to minimize the whole circuit structure and make it more compact. In this paper, a sub-terahertz wavelength(0.18–0.22 THz) tunable planar Bragg reflector is numerically analyzed by using multi-mode coupling theory(MCT). The operating mode TE10 and dominant coupling mode TE01 are mainly considered in this theory. Reflection and transmission performance of the reflector are demonstrated in detail and the results, in excellent agreement with the theoretical analysis and simulation, are also presented in this paper. Self- and cross-coupling coefficients between these two modes are presented as well. The reflector behaviors with different Bragg dimensions are discussed and analyzed in the 0.16–0.22 THz range. The analysis in this paper can be of benefit to the design and fabrication of the whole BWO circuit.     

Solidly mounted resonators consisting of a molybdenum and titanium Bragg reflector

Bright and efficient stacked color-tunable organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) using an intermediate Al/Au electrode have been reported. The effects of the thicknesses of Al and Au layers on the luminance characteristics have been comprehensively studied. After optimization, the bottom-emission single-unit OLED of 4,4^′,4^′′-Tris(N-3-methylphenyl-N-phenyl-amino) triphenylamine/N,N^′-diphenyl-N,N^′-bis(1-naphthyl)-(1,1^′-biphenyl)-4,4^′-diamine/tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum has a maximum luminance efficiency (η_L) of 3.37 cd/A by using Al/Au as the cathode and 2.92 cd/A by using Al/Au as the anode. Meanwhile, by introducing the optimized intermediate Al/Au electrode into the stacked color-tunable (red to blue) OLEDs, a red unit with maximum η_L of 4.73 cd/A and a blue unit with maximum η_L of 3.96 cd/A have been obtained. The color can be tuned efficiently along a linear route from pure red with the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.662, 0.330) to sky blue with the CIE coordinates of (0.155, 0.340). This scheme can be a potential candidate for achieving high-brightness and efficient stacked color-tunable OLEDs. PACS 78.60.Fi; 78.66.Qn; 81.05.Lg; 85.30.De     

Realization of a distributed Bragg reflector for propagating guided matter waves

We report on the experimental study of a Bragg reflector for guided, propagating Bose-Einstein condensates. A one-dimensional attractive optical lattice of finite length created by red-detuned laser beams selectively reflects some velocity components of the incident matter wave packet. We find quantitative agreement between the experimental data and one-dimensional numerical simulations and show that the Gaussian envelope of the optical lattice has a major influence on the properties of the reflector. In particular, it gives rise to multiple reflections of the wave packet between two symmetric locations where Bragg reflection occurs. Our results are a further step towards integrated atom-optics setups for quasi-cw matter waves.     

Amplitude and energy coefficients of reflected and refracted light

The tensor of reflected and refracted light was first introduced into the principal axes and then the latter were transformed into thep ands direction of the electric field strength. The amplitude coefficient of thep-components of refracted light has different forms depending on which complex unit vector is unit with respect to the square or the absolute value. The energy coefficient has the same value in both cases.

Interband recombination dynamics in resonantly excited single-walled carbon nanotubes

Wavelength-dependent pump-probe spectroscopy of micelle-suspended single-walled carbon nanotubes reveals two-component dynamics. The slow component (5-20 ps), which has not been observed previously, is resonantly enhanced whenever the pump photon energy coincides with an absorption peak and we attribute it to interband carrier recombination, whereas we interpret the always-present fast component (0.3-1.2 ps) as intraband carrier relaxation in nonresonantly excited nanotubes. The slow component decreases drastically with decreasing pH (or increasing H+ doping), especially in large-diameter tubes. This can be explained as a consequence of the disappearance of absorption peaks at high doping due to the entrance of the Fermi energy into the valence band, i.e., a 1D manifestation of the Burstein-Moss effect.     

Transmission matrix modelling of sampled-grating distributed Bragg reflector lasers

The transmission matrix model (TMM) has been used to simulate the tuning behaviour of a sampled-grating distributed Bragg reflector (SG-DBR) laser for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The model is able to describe all details of the spontaneous emission spectrum below threshold and yields results in good qualitative agreement with experiment.     

Dual-wavelength distributed Bragg reflector semiconductor laser based on a composite resonant cavity

We report a monolithic integrated dual-wavelength laser diode based on a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) composite resonant cavity. The device consists of three sections, a DBR grating section, a passive phase section, and an active gain section. The gain section facet is cleaved to work as a laser cavity mirror. The other laser mirror is the DBR grating, which also functions as a wavelength filter and can control the number of wavelengths involved in the laser action. The reflection bandwidth of the DBR grating is fabricated to have an appropriate value to make the device work at the dual-wavelength lasing state. We adopt the quantum well intermixing (QWI) technique to provide low-absorption loss grating and passive phase section in the fabrication process. By tuning the injection currents on the DBR and the gain sections, the device can generate 0.596 nm-spaced dual-wavelength lasing at room temperature.     

ZnO-based film bulk acoustic resonator devices on a specially designed Bragg reflector

In this paper, we studied ZnO-based film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device fabricated on a specially designed multilayered Bragg reflector part. Very thin chromium adhesion layers (0.03 μm thick) were additionally deposited to improve the quality of the Bragg reflector and some thermal treatments were performed to improve the resonant characteristics of the FBAR device. At the operating frequency of ∼2.7 GHz, excellent resonant characteristics were observed in terms of return loss and quality factor, and effective electromechanical coupling coefficient.     

A microring resonator with an integrated Bragg grating: a compact replacement for a sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector

We present analysis of the distributed Bragg reflector in a microring resonator (DBR-MRR) structure. With appropriate design parameters, the device can closely reproduce the reflectance spectrum of a sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector (SGDBR). By inserting the grating inside a microring resonator, the structure is much more compact than an SGDBR, suppresses side mode ripples near each peak, and offers better control over its full width half maximum (FWHM). The device is expected to have applications in compact tunable lasers and other planar photonic devices.
