We propose a domino-cooling method to realize simultaneous ground-state cooling of coupled mechanical-resonator chain through an optomechanical cavity working in the unresolved-sideband regime. This domino-effect is realized by combining cold-damping feedback on first mechanical resonator with nearest-neighbor couplings between other neighboring resonators. obtain analytical results for effecti...

We have proposed a tunable laser with silica-waveguide ring resonators. In this tunable laser, a semiconductor optical amplifier was passively aligned and mounted onto a silica-waveguide substrate. The ring resonators can be tuned by controlling their temperatures using the thermo optic heaters formed on them, and there are no mechanically moving parts. Thus, they are sufficiently stable and re...

We report on Q-switched waveguide lasers on the graphene-based crystalline Y-branch platform. By applying direct femtosecond laser writing of Nd:YAG laser crystal, a surface waveguide splitter with Y-branch geometry has been fabricated with depressed cladding configuration. The Q-switched lasing operation at 1064 nm is achieved in transmission mode, by attaching a two-layer graphene on the reso...

The performances of a fiber laser stabilized by whispering-gallery-mode(WGM) resonator depends heavily on the coupling and system, is labile due to lasing mode competitions among excitable WGMs. Here, we propose hybrid cavity where linear coupled WGM for dual stabilizations mode, experimentally demonstrate single-mode emission with stable high signal noise ratio (up 61 dB), narrow linewidth (lo...

This paper deals with the design and fabrication of a quartz-crystal resonator used in a thickness-monitor unit, measuring film thickness in a film-depositing system. A purpose-grown quartz crystal is cut to form the desired wafer. Two gold electrodes are deposited on both surfaces of the wafer to provide electrical contacts. The resonance frequency of the resonator, at room temperature, and th...

The key to generating stable optical pulses is mastery of nonlinear light dynamics in laser resonators. Modern techniques to control the buildup of laser pulses are based on nonlinear science and include classical solitons, dissipative solitons, parabolic pulses (similaritons) and various modifications and blending of these methods. Fiber lasers offer remarkable opportunities to apply one-dimen...

A method to detect osmotic pressure by analysing laser emission from hydrogel droplets encapsulated in an optical micro-resonator is demonstrated, illuminating the potential for on-chip sensing of body fluids and cellular environments.

Single micro/nanocrystals based on π-conjugated organic molecules have caused tremendous interests in the optoelectronic applications in laser, optical waveguide, nonlinear optics, and field effect transistors. However, the controlled synthesis of these organic micro/nanocrystals with regular shapes is very difficult to achieve, because the weak interaction (van der Waals' force, ca. 5 kJ/mol) ...

Increasing the dimensions of a waveguide provides the simplest means of reducing detrimental nonlinear effects, but such systems are inherently multi-mode, reducing the brightness of the system. Furthermore, using rectangular dimensions allows for improved heat extraction, as well as uniform temperature profile within the core. We propose a method of using the angular acceptance of a transmitti...

Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) is one of the nonlinear process that can occur in optical fiber if the input power at low level [1,2]. It is a natural scattering process associate to the propagation of light in a medium. Due to the interaction of light with the propagation medium, different scattering components are generated: Rayleigh, Brillouin and Raman component. The resulting scatter...
