We report on near infrared semiconductor nanopatch lasers with subwavelength-scale physical dimensions (0.019 cubic wavelengths) and effective mode volumes (0.0017 cubic wavelengths). We observe lasing in the two most fundamental optical modes which resemble oscillating electrical and magnetic dipoles. The ultra-small laser volume is achieved with the presence of nanoscale metal patches which s...

In Wavelength Division Multiplexing based Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON), multiple wavelength used to separate Optical Network Unit (ONU). Which actually increase the capacity of PON . WDM process can be dense and ultra-dense depending on channel spacing. In this paper we compare performance of Array Waveguide Grating Demultiplexer (AWG DEMUX) and Fiber Bragg Grating based Demultiplexer (FBG...

while the application of optical and photonic technologies in the communications, computing, medicine and industrial manufacturing has been growing rapidly, the miniaturization of these technologies has been slow due to the limitation on the diffraction. however, the developments of nanoscale components and guiding methods are continuing with a rapid pace. since waveguiding is a fundamental iss...

We analytically calculate and discuss the radio-frequency spectrum of the socalled Akhmediev breathers, a class of nonlinear solutions of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation that governs the propagation in a single mode optical fiber. We propose a practical application of ABs to the field of ultra-wideband pulse generation.

In this paper, we present a high accuracy laser range finder and velocimeter using ultra-fast time-to-digital converter (TDC). The system operation is based on the measuring the round-trip time of a narrow laser pulse. A low-dark current high-speed PIN photodiode is used to detect the triggered laser beam and to produce start signal. The pulsed laser diode generates 45W optical power at 30ns du...

Single-mode Ge28Sb12Se60 strip waveguides, fabricated with thermal evaporation and lift-off, were demonstrated at 1.03 μm. The linear and nonlinear optical properties of these waveguides were shown to be similar to bulk samples, with differences attributed to small variations in composition of ~4 atomic % or less. From z-scan measurements at 1.03 μm using circularly polarized, ~200 fs pulses at...

In this paper, the lensing functions and imaging abilities of a quasi-periodic nanohole array in a metal screen have been theoretically investigated and demonstrated. Such an optical binary mask with nanoholes designed in an aperiodic arrangement can function as an ultra-thin planar optical lens, imaging complex structures composed of multiple light sources at tens of wavelengths away from the ...

The stabilization of inorganic waste of various nature and origin, in glasses, has been a key strategy for environmental protection for the last decades. When properly formulated, glasses may retain many inorganic contaminants permanently, but it must be acknowledged that some criticism remains, mainly concerning costs and energy use. As a consequence, the sustainability of vitrification largel...

This paper investigates the effects of material parameters optical glasses on polishing rate these glasses. For this purpose, removal various was determined in laboratory tests under identical conditions with respect to pad and suspension. The then evaluated for its dependence parameters. goal is derive a rule thumb which allows an estimation obtainable surface quality based certain workpiece c...
