Synchronous amplification of subpicosecond pulses

In high-gain dye amplifiers, the effective storage time of the gain medium is only a few hundred picoseconds. Therefore, efficient amplification of ultrashort pulses places a stringent requirement on the synchronization between the pump pulse and the pulse to be amplified. We present a technique of short pulse generation using a dye laser synchronously pumped by a frequency-doubled CW mode locked Nd:YAG laser. Pulses as short as 70 fs are produced. The short optical pulses are subsequently amplified with two different synchronous amplification schemes using 100 ps pulses to establish the gain in the dye amplifier stages. Subpicosecond pulses with energies from a few hundred nanojoules at 500 Hz to a few hundred microjoules at 7 Hz can be obtained.

A posteriori joint detection and discrimination of pulses in a quasiperiodic pulse train

The problem of a posteriori joint detecting and discriminating pulses in a quasiperiodic pulse train is studied. By the quasiperiodic pulse train, we mean any pulse train in which the time lapse between the beginning instants of two consecutive pulses varies over time within a certain fixed interval. We consider the kind of quasiperiodic pulse train in which the beginning instants of pulses are deterministic (nonrandom). We analyze the case when all pulses in a pulse train belong to an alphabet of reference pulses having identical duration. It is assumed that the observed interval of the pulse train contains the complete pulses (no parts of pulses are missing at the observation) and that the unobservable pulse train is distorted by an additive white Gaussian noise. Up until this time, there has been no exact algorithm to solve this a posteriori problem under these very simple assumptions because of enormous combinatorial complexity. We derive and prove an efficient (polynomial) computing algorithm for the exact solution to this problem. The recursive equations for step-by step discrete optimization are obtained under the maximum-likelihood criterion. The same formulas hold under the least-squares criterion. The computational load of the algorithm is evaluated, and its dependency on the parameters of the problem is proven.     

A sequentially self-seeded Fabry-Perot laser for two-dimensional encoding/decoding of optical pulses

Multiwavelength optical pulse trains with variable two-dimensional (2-D) code patterns formed by a single encoder have been generated from a self-seeded gain-switched Fabry-Perot (F-P) laser for the first time. Mechanically tunable cascaded fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) are used to construct the reconfigurable encoder, which acts as a discrete nonlinear dispersive component in the subharmonically pulse-gated external cavity of the laser to generate multiwavelength pulse trains with a variable 2-D code pattern defined by the settings of the FBG string. Four distinct repetitive patterns (corresponding to four different 2-D codes) of optical pulse trains, each made up of up to four pulses generated sequentially with different wavelengths, have been produced at a repetition rate of 250 MHz. The output pulses obtained by this method are much more intense and stable than those obtained from a free-running F-P laser. Furthermore, the different pulse patterns obtained show that the scheme can allow easy switching among different 2-D codes by simply reconfiguring the FBG string. Hence this laser with the embedded reconfigurable encoder should be a viable optical source for incoherent 2-D fiber-optic code-division multiple access (FO-CDMA) applications. Near-error-free transmission of data at 250 Mbit/s employing this laser/encoder over 9.5 km standard single mode fiber has been successfully demonstrated, thus confirming its performance and viability for FO-CDMA.

Simultaneous compression and amplification of ultrashort pulses atMHz repetition rates

The authors report simultaneous compression and chirped pulse amplification at megahertz repetition rates of ultrashort pulses using a cavity-dumped dye laser with a pumping argon ion laser as the amplifier. In a single stage, the pulse is compressed by a factor of 25 and the energy per pulse is simultaneously increased by a factor of 2, without reducing the repetition rate. Starting with a pulse that has a duration of 4.3 ps and a peak power of 5.8 kW, a pulse with a duration of 170 fs and a peak power of 294 kW is obtained. A second stage of pulse compression is used to obtain a broadband pulse with a duration >~50 fs and a peak power of ~100 kW at 2 MHz
