This work shows the generation of an array chirped compressed periodic waves with distributed gain in a nonlinear fibre. In particular, suitable tailoring to vary along longitudinal distance while dispersion and nonlinearity parameters are kept constant. Exact analytical equations using self-similar analysis technique were obtained describe this process. addition, stability these generated is s...

We present the demonstration of two novel chip-scale FMCW LiDAR optical engines in which all photonic components, including laser sources, were integrated on single silicon chips. Using first chip design, with an distributed Bragg reflector and grating couplers as input/output ports for receive/transmit light, we demonstrated a maximum range 28 m limited by transmit light output power 2 mW. fur...

We propose and analyze a new type of optical amplifier that is formed by addition of gain in the periodic cladding of a transverse Bragg resonance waveguide [Opt. Lett. 27, 936 (2002)]. Using the coupled-wave formalism, we calculate the mode profiles, the exponential gain constant, and, for comparison, the gain enhancement compared with those of conventional semiconductor optical amplifiers. In...

The nonlinearity difference in the two passbands of a distributed-feedback semiconductor laser amplifier was studied experimentally. A theoretical explanation was given by using the transmission matrix approach. The difference of nonlinearity in the two passbands was found to be enhanced greatly by the mechanism of asymmetric facet reflection.

A method for reducing the two-tone third-order intermodulation products arising from two carrier frequencies at 1.95 and 2.00 GHz is demonstrated in a traveling wave tube-distributed amplifier. The optimum amplitude and phase of an injected second harmonic and the resulting intermodulation suppression of up to 24.2 dB are examined for fundamental drive levels approaching saturation.

We report a diode-pumped Yb:KYW amplifier delivering up to 27 mJ pulses at a repetition rate of 100 Hz and a spectral bandwidth of 5.5 nm, centered at around 1030 nm. The system is based on a double-head multipass amplifier configuration where the pump thermal load is distributed over two relatively thin laser crystals, which permits a sufficiently large number of passes with minimal passive lo...

A new circuit and technique to extend the bandwidth of the Dual Fed Distributed Amplifier (DFDA) while preserving the improvement on efficiency performance in comparison to conventional distributed amplifiers (DAs) is presented. The theoretical analysis is described in detail, and a test vehicle is realized to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Output power of ∼ 29 dBm, gain ...
