Dispersion measurements with white-light interferometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
White-light interferograms provide a simple, accurate, and physically intuitive picture of what happens to broadband optical pulses on transmission through, or reflection from, common optical materials. Quantitative measurement of group delay are made with an accuracy of 60.1 fs and with high spectral resolution. This measurement accuracy is applied to the determination of d2nydl2 and d3nydl3 of fused silica with an accuracy of 65 3 1025 mm22 and 61 3 1023 mm23, respectively. Further applications are found in the measurement of the dispersion of broadband mirrors and a multiple-quantum-well structure. 1996 Optical Society of America

Wide band interferometry for thickness measurement.
In this work we present the concept of wide band interferometry as opposed to white-light interferometry to introduce a thickness measurement method that gains precision when the bandwidth is reduced to an adequate compromise in order to avoid the distortions arising from the material dispersion. The use of the widest possible band is a well established dogma when the highest resolution is desi...
متن کاملChromium-doped forsterite: dispersion measurement with white-light interferometry.
Using a Michelson white-light interferometer, we measure the group-delay dispersion and third-order dispersion coefficients, d2(phi)/d(omega)2 and d3(phi)/d(omega)3, of chromium-doped forsterite (Cr:Mg2SiO4) over wavelengths of 1050-1600 nm for light polarized along both the c and b crystal axes. In this interval, the second-order dispersion for the c axis ranges from 35 fs2/mm to -14 fs2/mm, a...
متن کاملDispersion measurement of tapered air-silica microstructure fiber by white-light interferometry.
Dispersion properties of novel, tapered, air-silica microstructure fibers are measured between 1.3 and 1.65 microm by white-light interferometry. Dispersion values (beta2) of -181 and -152 ps2/km were obtained for 2.2- and 3-microm core sizes, respectively, at lambda = 1.55 microm.
متن کاملMeasurement of group velocity dispersion for finite size three-dimensional photonic crystals in the near-infrared spectral region
We measure group delay and group velocity dispersion of silica colloidal photonic crystals in the near-infrared with white light interferometry. While group delay and group velocity dispersion increase with sample thickness, scattering on sample imperfections is found to counteract this development, resulting in group delays lower than theoretically expected. For thin photonic crystals, group v...
متن کاملMeasurement of the group-delay dispersion of femtosecond optics using white-light interferometry
A compact and practical white-light cross-correlator suitable for fast evaluation of femtosecond optics, in terms of group-delay dispersion, was developed. A 40-W tungsten-halogen lamp was used as a white-light source and the detector selection was made so as to have adequate spectral sensitivity from 600 to 1050 nm, peaked at 800 nm. Group-delay dispersion was obtained, with femtosecond time r...
