Tunable ultrafast nonlinear optofluidic coupler.
We present an optofluidic nonlinear coupler fabricated by selective filling of two strands of a photonic crystal fiber with the liquid CCl4 which exhibits a large ultrafast Kerr nonlinearity. We demonstrate power dependent switching in this novel optofluidic device. The large thermo-optical effect of liquids enables us to tune the behavior of the nonlinear coupler by changing the coupling stren...
متن کاملDesign of a Liquid Crystal Tunable Directional Coupler
The accurate analysis of optical waveguides is an important issue when designing devices for optical communication purposes. Different numerical approaches exist for modeling waveguide structures and one of the most important issues is the calculation of the guided modes of the waveguide. Commercial programs are widely available for the analysis of isotropic waveguides or waveguides with a redu...
متن کاملA wavelength-tunable fiber-coupled source of narrowband entangled photons.
We demonstrate a wavelength-tunable, fiber-coupled source of polarization- entangled photons with extremely high spectral brightness and quality of entanglement. Using a 25 mm PPKTP crystal inside a polarization Sagnac interferometer we detect a spectral brightness of 273000 pairs (s mW nm)(-1), a factor of 28 better than comparable previous sources while state tomography showed the two-photon ...
متن کاملNonlinear directional coupler for polychromatic light.
We demonstrate that a nonlinear directional coupler with special bending of waveguide axes can be used for all-optical switching of polychromatic light with a very broad spectrum covering all of the visible region. The bandwidth of the suggested device is enhanced five times compared with conventional couplers. Our results suggest novel opportunities for the creation of all-optical logical gate...
متن کاملTunable control of the frequency correlations of entangled photons.
We experimentally demonstrate a new technique to control the type of frequency correlations of entangled photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric downconversion. Frequency-correlated and frequency-anticorrelated photons are produced when a broadband pulse is used as a pump. The method is based on the control of the group velocities of the interacting waves and can be applied in any nonl...
