Journal ArticleDOI
Channel optical waveguides and directional couplers in GaAs - Imbedded and ridged
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss techniques for forming smooth channel guides in semiconductors such as GaAs, with dimensions of the order of a few microns and show their application to directional couplers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase-Controlled Apertures Using Heterodyne Optical Phase-Locked Loops
Naresh Satyan,Wei Liang,Firooz Aflatouni,Amnon Yariv,A. Kewitsch,George Rakuljic,Hossein Hashemi +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an electronic feedback scheme using a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) to control the optical phase of individual semiconductor lasers (SCLs) phase locked to a common reference laser using heterodyne optical phase-locked loops (OPLLs) was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stark-induced three-wave mixing in molecular gases - Part I: Theory
R. Abrams,Amnon Yariv,Poochi Yeh +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical derivation of the effect of dc electric field on mixing of CO 2 laser with 4GHz microwaves in the molecule NH 2 D, producing single lower sideband radiation is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confocal unstable-resonator semiconductor laser.
TL;DR: GaAs/GaAlAs heterostructure lasers with a monolithic confocal unstable resonator with curved mirrors satisfying the confocal condition with close to threshold mode with a nearly collimated output beam were demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
16 kW Yb Fiber Amplifier Using Chirped Seed Amplification for Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Suppression
Jeffrey O. White,Mark Harfouche,John Edgecumbe,Naresh Satyan,George Rakuljic,Vijay Jayaraman,Christopher Burgner,Amnon Yariv +7 more
TL;DR: In a high power fiber amplifier, a frequency-chirped seed interrupts the coherent interaction between the laser and Stokes waves, raising the threshold for stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), resulting in a nearly-length-independent SBS threshold.
