Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of third‐order intersubband dc Kerr effect at the midinfrared wavelengths in GaAs quantum wells
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the dc Kerr effect in a symmetric quantum well and found that the Kerr coefficients due to intersubband transitions are six orders of magnitude larger than that of bulk GaAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
All optically tunable wavelength-selective reflector consisting of coupled polymeric microring resonators
TL;DR: In this article, an all optically tunable wavelength-selective reflector for planar lightwave technology based on coupled microring resonators is presented, which employs the Vernier effect to demonstrate narrow-band reflection and strong side-lobe suppression.
Journal ArticleDOI
A theory of longitudinal modes in semiconductor lasers
Kam Y. Lau,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of longitudinal mode lasing spectrum of semiconductor lasers is developed which takes into account the nonuniform carrier and photon distributions and local gain spectrum shifts inside lasers with low end mirror reflectivities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ring fiber resonators based on fused-fiber grating add–drop filters: application to resonator coupling
TL;DR: It is shown that the loss/coupling ratio of the ring-fiber system can be changed and thus that the transmission properties of the fiber can be controlled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bistable oscillations with a self-pumped phase-conjugate mirror
Sze-Keung Kwong,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: Optical bistable oscillation beams with a self-pumped phase-conjugate mirror with explanation based on the threshold of oscillation is presented.
