The interaction of Kerr nonlinearity with even-orders of dispersion: an infinite hierarchy of solitons
Antoine F. J. Runge, Y. Long Qiang, Tristram J. Alexander +3
Temporal solitons are optical pulses that arise from the balance of negative group-velocity dispersion and self-phase modulation. For decades only quadratic dispersion was consider…
Polychromatic soliton molecules
Joshua P. Lourdesamy, Antoine F. J. Runge, Tristram J. Alexander +3
Soliton molecules, bound states composed of interacting fundamental solitons, exhibit remarkable resemblance with chemical compounds and phenomena in quantum mechanics. Whereas opt…
The pure-quartic soliton laser
Antoine F. J. Runge, Darren D. Hudson, Kevin K. K. Tam +2
The generation of ultrashort pulses hinges on the careful management of dispersion. Traditionally, this has exclusively involved second-order dispersion, while higher-order dispers…
Watt-level dysprosium fiber laser at 3.15 μm with 73% slope efficiency
R. I. Woodward, M. R. Majewski, G. Bharathan +3
Rare-earth-doped fiber lasers are emerging as promising high-power mid-infrared sources for the 2.6-3.0 μm and 3.3-3.8 μm regions based on erbium and holmium ions. The intermediate…
High quality waveguides for the mid-infrared wavelength range in a silicon-on-sapphire platform
Fangxin Li, Stuart D. Jackson, Christian Grillet +10
We report record low loss silicon-on-sapphire nanowires for applications to mid infrared optics. We achieve propagation losses as low as 0.8dB/cm at 1550nm, 1.1 to 1.4dB/cm at 2080…
Phase-locking in cascaded stimulated Brillouin scattering
Thomas F. S. Büttner, Christopher G. Poulton, M. J. Steel +2
Cascaded stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is a complex nonlinear optical process that results in the generation of several optical waves that are frequency shifted by an acous…
