Suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers using a linearly chirped diode laser

TL;DR: The output of high power fiber amplifiers is typically limited by stimulated Brillouin scattering, and an analysis of SBS with a chirped pump laser indicates that a Chirp of 2.5 × 10(15) Hz/s could raise the SBS threshold of a 20-m fiber.
Journal ArticleDOI
Passive mode locking of buried heterostructure lasers with nonuniform current injection
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel method to passively mode lock a semiconductor laser with a split contact coupled to an external cavity is presented, which does not rely on absorption introduced by damaging the crystal and is therefore inherently more reliable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Free-standing all-polymer microring resonator optical filter
TL;DR: In this paper, a free-standing all-polymer microring resonator optical filters as prototypical elements in flexible integrated lightwave circuits are demonstrated, and a critical coupling condition is achieved, resulting in a measurement limited -27 dB extinction of the filter output on resonances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coherent coupling of diode lasers by phase conjugation
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of a photorefractive barium titanate ring passive phase conjugate mirror in the coherent coupling of two GaAlAs diode lasers was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stability of photorefractive spatial solitons.
Mordechai Segev,Bruno Crosignani,Paolo Di Porto,Amnon Yariv,Galen Duree,Gregory J. Salamo,Edward J. Sharp +6 more
TL;DR: Theoretical analysis of the stability of photorefractive spatial solitons and experimental results show that the soliton are stable for small-scale perturbations but break down when the perturbation exhibit a transverse scale comparable with the soliton size.
