Realizing CMOS-compatible integrated lasers on silicon is a crucial step towards cost-efficient, high-functional optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs). Here, we report on a concept to embed active optical devices based on a bonded III–V epitaxial layer stack between the FEOL and BEOL of a CMOS silicon photonics chip. Ultra-shallow laser devices are realized with this concept and optically-pumped...
This paper updates the study of anti-resonant hollow-core fibers (AR-HCFs) and their applications. Such fibers have been shown to offer low-loss transmission windows which greatly extend the traditional spectral regions of hollow-core fibers into visible and mid-IR. The single-mode performance, large mode area, low dispersion and low nonlinearity make AR-HCF the most promising medium for high-power...
In this article, we experimentally investigate the dynamics of dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) square pulses in different all-anomalous passively mode-locked double-clad Er:Yb fiber laser setups. In the figure-of-eight configuration, the aim of employing an amplifier in each loop is to control the output pulse's amplitude and width, which depend on the pumping power. At a maximum total pumping...
An oriented-dependence-microlens (ODM) fabricated by automatic grinding and fusion techniques is proposed. The ODM can be visually surface-feature aligned for high tolerance coupling lasers to polarization-maintaining-fibers (PMFs). The 3-dB coupling efficiency and polarized-extinction-ratio (PER) angular tolerances of the ODM were obtained as high as ± 16°. Furthermore, the 1-dB coupling and PER...
We study experimentally a semiconductor laser operating in a feedback-induced regime known as low frequency fluctuations (LFFs), in which the laser emits a spiking output that resembles the spikes of biological neurons. We analyze the response to a weak periodic signal that is directly applied to the laser pump current, as a function of the frequency of the signal, and discuss the observations in...
The paper reviews the basic principles and recent advances of Raman fibre laser (RFL) based amplification techniques in long-haul/unrepeatered coherent transmission systems. Different aspects of RFL based amplification have been characterised, including signal power distributions and relative intensity noise (RIN). Various RFL based amplifier designs have been evaluated in long-haul coherent transmission...
We report an all-optical realisation of a quantum relay experiment at a telecom wavelength. The main idea relies on utilizing a picosecond 2.5 GHz repetition rate telecom laser as a master clock to allow, thanks to dedicated distribution channels, the generation of synchronized entangled pairs of photons at remote locations. This is a necessary condition for achieving a reliable quantum relay function...
We report on our research into fluoride fiber-based 3 µm class laser sources. Using holmium as the gain medium, record-high peak power levels are achieved in mode-locked laser systems that emit ultrashort pulses in the water vapor transmission window around 2.9 µm. Highly nonlinear and dispersion-engineered hybrid chalcogenide-polymer microwires are utilized to extend the frequency range of those...
