Resonant Coupling of Hermite-Gaussian Transverse Modes in the Triangular Cavity of a Cavity Ring-down Spectroscope

Cavity Ring-down Biosensing

Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) is an established technique for gases sensing that is newly emerging in the field of optical biosensing. This approach measures changes in the rate of decay of light injected into an optical resonator and relates them to optical loss along its length. This principle has recently been adapted for use in liquids, providing a highly sensitive method for quantit...

Noise in cavity ring-down spectroscopy caused by transverse mode coupling.

In our continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CW-CRDS) experiments, we have often observed that the decay time constant drops to a lower value at some cavity lengths or some intercavity pressures. The resulting instabilities lead to a reduction in the sensitivity of our CRDS system. We have deduced that the cause of this noise is the coupling between the TEM(00) mode that the laser exci...

the study of bright and surface discrete cavity solitons dynamics in saturable nonlinear media

امروزه سالیتون ها بعنوان امواج جایگزیده ای که تحت شرایط خاص بدون تغییر شکل در محیط منتشر می-شوند، زمینه مطالعات گسترده ای در حوزه اپتیک غیرخطی هستند. در این راستا توجه به پدیده پراش گسسته، که بعنوان عامل پهن شدگی باریکه نوری در آرایه ای از موجبرهای جفت شده، ظاهر می گردد، ضروری است، زیرا سالیتون های گسسته از خنثی شدن پراش گسسته در این سیستم ها بوسیله عوامل غیرخطی بوجود می آیند. گسستگی سیستم عامل...

Dynamic all-optical tuning of transverse resonant cavity modes in photonic bandgap fibers.

Photonic bandgap fibers for transverse illumination containing half-wavelength microcavities have recently been designed and fabricated. We report on the fabrication and characterization of an all-optical tunable microcavity fiber. The fiber is made by incorporating a photorefractive material inside a Fabry-Perot cavity structure with a quality factor Q >200 operating at 1.5 microm. Under short...
