Photothermoplastics for spectral holography

For spectral holography, the opportunity of using real-time information recording in situ using photothermoplastic (PTP) materials is considered. Applying the physical model of free charge carrier photogeneration for photothermoplastics (PTPs), based on charge transfer complexes, the photosensitivity is investigated considering its dependence on exposure time (exciting laser pulses duration). For sequential PTP processes, it is shown that the experimental values of the photosensitivity over a spectral range of 300–1000 nm is maintained down to picosecond exposures. This is in good agreement with theoretical calculations. It is concluded that, for the achieved values of photosensitivity and taking into account other characteristics of PTPs—such as real-time recording in situ, high values of space resolution (to 1000 line pairs mm⁻¹), diffraction efficiency (to 20%) and cyclability (to 1000 cycles)—PTPs are useful materials for laboratory investigations in the field of spectral holography.     

Long-delay engraving and recovery of chirped femtosecond pulses by spectro-temporal holography in spectral hole-burning molecular solids

The persistent spectral hole-burning (PSHB) phenomenon observed in molecular doped polymers cooled down to liquid helium temperatures allows the engraving of spectral structures in the inhomogeneous absorption profile of the material. Therefore, a PSHB molecular-doped solid can be programmed in the spectral domain and then converted in an optical processor capable to achieve user-defined optical functions. We demonstrate the high storage capacity of naphthalocyanine-doped polymer materials by engraving and retrieving the phase information stored in femtosecond-chirped pulses, even with nanosecond time delay, which correspond to information registered with sub-GHz spectral resolution. Perspectives for the coherent control of light fields or photochemical processes are also evoked.

Investigation of the spectral kinetics of ultrashort light pulses using time holography

On the basis of principles of time holography we suggest a method for recording changes of a spectrum in ultrashort light pulses with a time resolution of up to 10⁻¹⁴ sec. As a clear way to describe the spectrum kinetics, a function of the spectral shift is introduced. We consider, as an example, the possibilities of investigating the spectral-temporal structure of pico- and femtosecond pulses and their transformations on interaction with a dispersion medium. B. I.

Two-Dimensional Optical Data Transmission with Space-Time Conversion Combined with Code Division Multiple Access

A new scheme for two-dimensional parallel data transmission with a femtosecond laser pulse through a single-mode fiber, which is based upon one-dimensional space-time conversion technique in conjunction with code division multiple access (CDMA), is implemented and numerically demonstrated. Since many one-dimensional spatial data, which are encoded with their own M-sequence code, must be embedded in a single pulse, the bit-error rate performance degrades compared with conventional CDMA driven by many unsynchronized pulses. Still, two-dimensional digital images in a 16 bits × 16 bits plane (256-bits parallel data) are successfully transmitted by a single femtosecond laser pulse at an equivalent transmission rate of 1.6 Tbit/s and recovered by spectral holography.

Photonic-crystal fibers are shown to allow efficient spectral transformation of nanosecond laser pulses through parametric four-wave mixing and stimulated Raman scattering. Regimes providing highly efficient transformation of nanosecond laser pulses into white-light broadband radiation (supercontinuum) are identified. A strong parametric coupling between Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman sidebands around the wavelength of zero group-velocity dispersion is shown to increase the bandwidth and to improve the spectral quality of supercontinuum radiation.
