We show that, by opening an air gap under the lower cladding, the influence of the substrate is suppressed and the symmetry of the thermo-optical distribution around the LRSPP waveguide is preserved over extended ranges of applied electrical current with minimal optical losses. Experimental results show that, compared to a standard nonsuspended structure, our device allows either the induction of a phase change that is three times larger, for a fixed electrical power, or, equivalently, a scaling down of the device to one-tenth of its original length, for a fixed phase change.

They involve the use of metals with very small dimensions, often nanodimensions, where metals exhibit a very distinctive behavior as compared to their bulk counterpart.

In both cases, we found a wavelength shift to shorter wavelengths and a critical decrease of the attenuation peaks. A maximum wavelength shift of 6 nm at 1060 nm was obtained when the temperature changed from

The controlled multi-peak generation is possible by an on/off switch of Cherenkov radiation, achieved by tailoring the fiber dispersion when decreasing the cladding diameter by segments. The interplay between the fiber dispersion and the soliton self-frequency shift results in discrete peaks of efficiently emitted Cherenkov radiation from low order solitons, despite the small amount of energy contained in a pulse. These spectra are useful for applications that demand low power bell-shaped pulses at specific carrier wavelengths.

As the pulse is amplified, cascaded fundamental solitons are created at different distances, without soliton fission, as each fundamental soliton moves outside the gain bandwidth through the Raman-induced spectral shifts. As a result, each input pulse creates multiple, temporally separated, ultrashort pulses of different wavelengths at the amplifier output. The number of pulses depends not only on the total gain of the amplifier but also on the width of the input pulse.

The frequency conversion is based on the soliton fission and soliton self-frequency shift occurring during supercontinuum generation. The optimization process is carried out by a genetic algorithm that provides the optimum input pulse parameters: wavelength, temporal width and peak power. This algorithm is implemented in a Grid platform in order to take advantage of distributed computing. These results are useful for optical coherence tomography applications where bell-shaped pulses located in the second near-infrared window are needed.

A frequency convertor based on the soliton self-frequency shift by the supercontinuum generation ... more A frequency convertor based on the soliton self-frequency shift by the supercontinuum generation is obtained by optimization of only three parameters of a Ti:Sapphire laser pulse, namely, carrier wavelength, peak power and time duration. The frequency conversion is performed and calculated by simulating the propagation of the pulse in a simple piece of $25$ cm long commercial photonic crystal fiber pumped by the femtosecond Ti:Sapphire laser, whose only pre-requisite is to exhibit the standard supercontinuum. The resulting spectral broadening has a maximum spectral conversion in the anomalous region just by playing with the three realistic controllable parameters. Optimization is performed using pre-defined functions of genetic algorithms. Our results indicate that the efficiencies of Raman conversion achieved by merely optimizing the pulse parameters in a commercial fiber are comparable with those obtained in more elaborated Raman convertor devices.

The sources are based on spectral interference of solitons generated in non-uniform fiber amplifiers.

Fundamental soliton fission across the zero-nonlinearity wavelength is also observed.

We demonstrate a novel way to alter the strength of SSFS in photonic crystal fibers through a frequency-dependent nonlinear parameter $\gamma(\omega)$. Our numerical simulations show both suppression and enhancement of SSFS depending on the sign of nonlinear slope. A large enough positive value of this slope can lead to total suppression of SSFS, without spectral recoil and without energy transfer to a resonant dispersive wave. Numerical simulations are supported by mathematical predictions based on the moment method.

Femtosecond-laser-based fabrication of three-dimensional silicon waveguide enables compact silicon photonics and their integration as large third-order nonlinearity and the high refractive index of silicon allows for tightly confining optical waves to a sub-micron region. The writing process is however challenging because the unique features exhibited by the semiconductor crystal, such as two-photon absorption, free-carrier absorption / dispersion, anisotropic and dispersive third-order nonlinearity, which may drastically influence the writing process at high intensities required for the femtosecond-laser writing. In this work, we provide a detailed description of the underlying physics behind nonlinear optical dynamics in femtosecond laser processing of silicon waveguides, considering the generation of free c...

Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) is one of the most favourable gain media for solid-state lasers owing to its excellent spectroscopic, physical and thermal properties. Although some works have reported experimental DLW for fabrication of waveguides in Nd:YAG [3], there is currently no detailed explanation of the nonlinear optical mechanisms and impact of phenomena such as generation of free carriers induced by multi-photon ionization and plasma formation. In this work, we study for the first time the underlying physics behind nonlinear optical dynamics in ultrafast laser beam propagation during the femtosecond laser processing of Nd: YAG.

In optics, interacting resonant cavities show a transmission spectrum with split eigenfrequencies, similar to the split energy levels that result from interacting states in bonded multi-atomic, i.e. molecular, systems. Here, we study the nonlinear dynamics of photonic diatomic molecules in linearly coupled microresonators and demonstrate that the system supports the formation of self-enforcing solitary waves when a laser is tuned across a split energy level. The output corresponds to a frequency comb (microcomb) whose characteristics in terms of power spectral distribution are unattainable in single-mode (atomic) systems. Photonic molecule microcombs are coherent, reproducible, and reach high conversion efficiency and spectral flatness whilst operated with a laser power of a few milliwatts. These properties can favor the heterogeneous integration of microcombs with semiconductor laser technology and facilitate applications in op...
