Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Alireza Marandi, Kirk A. Ingold, Marc Jankowski, Robert L. Byer, | Summary: For the growing demand of frequency combs in mid-infrared (mid-IR), known as the "molecular fingerprint" region of the spectrum [1], down conversion of near-IR frequency combs through half- harmonic generation offers numerous benefits including high […]
Kavli Affiliate: Larry Coldren | First 5 Authors: Cristian Antonelli, Antonio Mecozzi, Wangzhe Li, Larry Coldren, | Summary: We present a model for multi-wavelength mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) based on coupled-mode equations. The proposed model applies to all kinds of SOA structures, takes into account the longitudinal dependence of carrier density caused by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Oberla | First 5 Authors: E. Oberla, H. J. Frisch, , , | Summary: A first experimental test of tracking relativistic charged particles by `drifting’ Cherenkov photons in a water-based optical time-projection chamber (OTPC) has been performed at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility. The prototype OTPC detector consists of a 77~cm long, […]
