Journal ArticleDOI

Two- and four-wave mixing with saturable absorption and gain

D. V. Timotijević, +2 more
- 01 Sep 1992 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an exact solution to a model of two and four-wave mixing in photorefractive media with saturable gain and absorption is presented, and the procedure for matching two-point boundary conditions is given.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tunable Optical Time Delay of Quantum Signals Using a Prism Pair

George M. Gehring, +4 more
- 30 Aug 2010 - 
TL;DR: A compact, tunable, optical time-delay module that functions by means of total internal reflection within two glass prisms that is inherently extremely broad band, unlike time delay modules based on "slow light" methods.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Sub-Rayleigh limit localization with a spatial mode analyzer

J. Hassett, +5 more
- 16 Sep 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a spatial mode analyzer based on a generalized Michelson interferometer is applied to the estimation of sub-Rayleigh limit incoherent point source separations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of spatial coherence and limiting of focal plane intensity by small-scale laser-beam filamentation

Aaron Schweinsberg, +4 more
- 18 Nov 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear optical mechanism that leads to a decrease of the degree of (transverse) spatial coherence of a laser beam as a function of propagation distance is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond the effective index method: improved accuracy for 2D simulations of photonic crystal waveguides

Sebastian A. Schulz, +5 more
- 02 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the effective index method is poorly suited to model photonic crystal waveguides, giving inaccurate approximations of group velocity and propagation loss.
