Resonant optical wave power control devices and methods
Kerry J. Vahala,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a whispering gallery mode device is proposed for optical wave power control, where the power of a chosen resonant wavelength is coupled into the resonator, where it circulates with very low loss, and returns energy to the propagation element, and the propagated power can be varied between substantially full and substantially zero amplitudes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymptotic analysis of silicon based Bragg fibers.
TL;DR: An asymptotic formalism is developed that fully characterizes the propagation and loss properties of a Bragg fiber with finite cladding layers and is subsequently applied to miniature air-core Bragg fibers with Silicon-based cladding mirrors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occupation fluctuation noise: A fundamental source of linewidth broadening in semiconductor lasers
Kerry J. Vahala,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of fast thermal fluctuations of electronic state occupancy on the field spectrum of semiconductor lasers is considered and an expression for the resulting power independent linewidth contribution is derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Azimuthally Polarized Spatial Dark Solitons: Exact Solutions of Maxwell's Equations in a Kerr Medium
TL;DR: It is proved the existence of azimuthally polarized, spatial, dark soliton solutions of Maxwell's equations, while exact linearly polarized (2 + 1)D solitons do not exist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Holographic fixing, readout, and storage dynamics in photorefractive materials.
TL;DR: Holographic gratings in photorefractive crystals that are based on charge redistribution inevitably decay as a result of ionic and electronic conduction, and some experimental data are presented.
