Optical diode action from axially asymmetric nonlinearity in an all-carbon solid-state device.

TL;DR: This experimental realization of the first all-carbon solid-state optical diode that is based on axially asymmetric nonlinear absorption in a thin saturable absorber (graphene) and a thin reverse saturable absorption (C60) arranged in tandem is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Focal dynamics of multiple filaments: Microscopic imaging and reconstruction

TL;DR: In this paper, the complete dynamics of the propagation of very intense femtosecond laser pulses in air under tight focusing conditions via direct imaging of the entire interaction zone was observed by means of numerical simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Filamentation without intensity clamping.

TL;DR: Measurements of the supercontinuum emission from ultrashort Ti:Saph laser pulse filamentation in air in a tightly focused geometry indicate that peak intensities exceed the clamping value of a few 10(13) W/cm(2) obtained for filamentations in a loose focusing geometry by at least one order of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of defects in the nonlinear optical absorption behavior of carbon and ZnO nanostructures

TL;DR: It is shown that defect engineering is an effective strategy for tailoring the nonlinear optical properties of carbon and ZnO nanostructures in device applications such as optical limiting, optical switching, pulse shaping, pulse compression and optical diode action.
