Doctoral Dissertations. 1353. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1353 Nonlinear Optical Processes for Spectral Broadening and Short Pulse Generation Hongyu Hu, PhD University of Connecticut, 2017 The dramatic progress in optical communication is attributed to the development of wavelength- division multiplexing and time-division multiplexing technologies, which employ broadband light source and ultrashort optical pulses respectively to carry signals in optical fibers. Supercontinuum generation is the spectral broadening of narrow-band incident pulses by the propagation through optical waveguides made of nonlinear materials. In this PhD dissertation, I show the design of a tapered lead-silicate optical fiber for supercontinuum generation. The physical mechanisms of optical pulse evolution are explained, which involve various nonlinear optical effects including self-phase and cross-phase modulation, stimulated Raman scattering, four-wave mixing, modulation instability and optical soliton dynamics. I have also proposed planar waveguides with longitudinally varying structure to manage chromatic dispersion, and numerically simulated the generation of (1) broadband and (2) flat octave-spanning supercontinuum output. The coherence property and noise sensitivity of supercontinuum are also investigated in this dissertation, which depend strongly on pumping conditions. A hybrid mode- locked erbium-doped fiber ring laser, which combines rational harmonic active mode-locking technique and graphene saturable absorber, has been designed and experimentally demonstrated to produce optical pulse train.

Camacho-Aguilera Abstract Ge-on-Si devices are explored for photonic integration. Importance of Ge in photonics has grown and through techniques developed in our group we demonstrated low density of dislocations (<1x109cm-2) and point defects Ge growth for photonic devices. The focus of this document will be exclusively on Ge light emitters. Ge is an indirect band gap material that has shown the ability to act like a pseudo direct band gap material. Through the use of tensile strain and heavy doping, Ge exhibits properties thought exclusive of direct band gap materials. Dependence on temperature suggests strong interaction between indirect bands, and L, and the direct band gap at .

Fusion Energy © CEA www.laserlab-europe.eu EDITORIAL In this Issue Editorial/ News Editorial I am still amazed by the scope of the research conducted within Laser- lab-Europe. For the previous issue, we had considered publishing a double focus section, combining what we thought to be two smaller 2 fields of research within the laser community: Cultural Heritage and Fusion Energy. But as we soon found out, we could easily fill four pages with Laserlab-Europe projects on cultural heritage. Much the same, this issue contains a rather full focus section de- ERC Grants scribing the various laser-based approaches to fusion energy, allowing us (like we looked back into the past in the previous issue) a view of a hopefully not too distant future, when power plants can be fuelled Tom Jeltes with sea water. The focus section on fusion energy shows the various ways in which lasers can be used to create and study the extreme conditions required to get the fusion reaction going, and how Laserlab-Europe researchers and facilities contribute to the development 4 of a new and virtually unlimited source of energy. More cutting-edge science can be found in our access highlight, which describes the most accurate determination of the binding energy of the hydrogen molecule so far, performed at La- serLab Amsterdam. The importance of these measurements lies in their comparison with the state- Networking: of-the-art calculations using quantum electrodynamics theory, thus challenging the foundation of The future of the Standard Model of physics.
