Journal ArticleDOI
Control of critical coupling in a ring resonator-fiber configuration: application to wavelength-selective switching, modulation, amplification, and oscillation.
TL;DR: By controlling the internal loss of a ring resonator near critical coupling, this work demonstrates control of the transmitted power in a fiber that is coupled to the resonator and wavelength-selective optical amplification and oscillation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internal Modulation in Multimode Laser Oscillators
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical formalism of normal mode parametric interactions is proposed for multimode laser oscillation in the presence of internal resonator modulation, and the results are discussed with particular reference to recent experiments and proposals involving modulation inside laser resonators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compensation for phase distortions in nonlinear media by phase conjugation.
David M. Pepper,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated theoretically that the distortion-correction property of phase-conjugate beams propagating in reverse through aberrating media is also operative when the indices of refraction of the media depend on the intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
On transmission and recovery of three-dimensional image information in optical waveguides*
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that due to modal dispersion, pictorial information is invariably "smeared" in transmission, and given nature's reluctance to transmit pictures through fibers, is there anything we can do about it?
Journal ArticleDOI
Finite-difference time-domain calculation of spontaneous emission lifetime in a microcavity
TL;DR: In this paper, a general numerical method to calculate the spontaneous emission lifetime in an arbitrary microcavity, using a finite-difference time-domain algorithm, was developed, which is limited only by numerical error and finite reflection at the absorbing boundaries.
