On‐chip stimulated Brillouin Scattering for microwave signal processing and generation

Demonstration of continuously tunable delay, low‐noise lasers, dynamically controlled gratings, and optical phase shifting using the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) process has lead to the emergence of SBS as a promising technology for microwave photonics. On‐chip realization of SBS enables photonic integration of microwave photonic signal processing and offers significantly enhanced performance and improved efficiency. On‐chip stimulated Brillouin scattering is reviewed in the context of slow‐light based tunable delay, low‐noise narrow linewidth lasers and filtering for integrated microwave photonics. A discussion on key material and device properties, necessary to enable on‐chip Brillouin scattering using both the single‐pass and resonator geometry, is presented along with an outlook for photonic integration of microwave signal processing and generation in other platforms.     

Intracavity phase interferometry: frequency combs sensor inside a laser cavity

In traditional interferometric measurements, a physical quantity that changes the phase of a resonator is monitored through a change of its transmission. Interferometry inside a laser exploits the ultimate Q‐factor of that resonator, and converts the phase to be measured into a frequency. A mode‐locked laser with two intracavity pulses emits two frequency combs of the same repetition rate. The quantity to be measured (a sub‐nano displacement, a nonlinear index, an acceleration or rotation, a magnetic or electric field) produces a minute phase change ( rad) in one of the two intracavity pulses, which is converted into a frequency, measured by beating the two pulse trains emitted by the laser. This paper presents methods of operating mode‐locked lasers in which two independent pulses circulate, producing two frequency combs of the same repetition rate. Various examples of physical quantities that can be measured through this technique are presented.

Amplified low-repetition-rate fs pulsewidth measuring and DLA caused pulse broadening

Amplified low-repetition-rate fs pulse is generated with dye laser amplifier(DLA). The pulsewidth is measured with a computer-aided autocorrelator and the fs pulsewidth broadening caused by the dispersion of the DLA is analyzed. Furthermore, the autocorrelator introduced in this paper could be used as a low scanning autocorrelator to measure high-repetition-rate pulsewidth.

指出了文献[1]在物理概念上和公式推导中的错误,并在订正了这些错误之后,考虑了实际的激光等离子体光源的几何尺度和线状等离子体的安排,对在复合泵浦X激光增益实验中所使用的带超环面镜X光中继元件的掠入射光栅光谱仪系统进行了全面的模拟计算.结果表明,作者所使用的带超环面镜的X光增益测试系统,其因离焦而导致的非线性效应是完全可以忽略的,系统的空间分辨能力的下降也是非常小的,从而否定了文献[1]中的结论,表明作者在X激光增益测量实验中所使用的带超环面镜X光中继元件的掠入射光栅光谱仪系统是完全可靠的.
