Observation of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Si3N4 waveguides
01:30-01:45
2017-10-02 01:30 2017-10-02 01:45 America/Denver Observation of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Si3N4 waveguides Here, we report the first observation of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in Si3N4 waveguides. The waveguides are designed as a line defect in a membrane phononic crystal (MPnC). The observed SBS frequency is at 1.55 GHz within the first phononic bandgap of the host MPnC.

Nonlinear Aharonov-Bohm suppression of optical Tunneling in twisted multicore optical fibers
01:45-02:00
2017-10-02 01:45 2017-10-02 02:00 America/Denver Nonlinear Aharonov-Bohm suppression of optical Tunneling in twisted multicore optical fibers We show that an Aharonov-Bohm like suppression of optical tunneling can take place in linear and nonlinear twisted multicore optical fiber structures. The energy exchange is analyzed under nonlinear conditions and a viable setting to observe these effects is suggested. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Poinsettia/ Quince

2017-10-02 02:00 2017-10-02 02:15 America/Denver Soliton Microcomb Operation to 778 nm Soliton microcombs are demonstrated at both 1064 nm and 778 nm by dispersion-engineering on-chip silica resonators. These are the shortest wavelength soliton microcombs demonstrated to date and have potential applications in optical clocks and metrology. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Poinsettia/ Quince

Generation of a 128-GHz optical pulse train from a 250-MHz frequency comb using temporal self-imaging

This demonstration should prove useful in bridging the current gap between CEO-stabilized MHz-rate pulse trains and highly demanded GHz-rate ones. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Poinsettia/ Quince

Demonstration of Diffraction-Free, Acceleration-Free Space-Time Airy Beams

2017-10-02 02:30 2017-10-02 02:45 America/Denver Demonstration of Diffraction-Free, Acceleration-Free Space-Time Airy Beams We experimentally demonstrate pulsed Airy beams that are diffraction-free and acceleration-free by introducing a tight correlation between the spatial and temporal spectra of a femtosecond-pulsed beam via a two-dimensional pulse shaper. Such beams only exhibit transverse acceleration only in the pulse local time-frame. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Poinsettia/ Quince
