A compact heralded single photon source is required in quantum technologies. For an integrated chip-scale photon pair source, we demonstrate the generation of correlated photon pairs from a silicon micro-ring resonator with a semiconductor laser source.Show More
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) technology incorporated with fluorescence microscopy envisions biomedical samples to sub-diffraction-limit resolution. Pulsed-mode STED microscopy is attractive because milliwatt-level low average optical power can induce notable STED effect [1]. However, it is difficult to find stable and compact optical pulse sources that are suitable for STED. The pulsed ope...Show More
A novel method for producing optical burst pulses is demonstrated. Optical pulses having a several tens of picosecond duration, and a 100-200-ps period are generated from a gain-switched laser-diode under CW laser light injection.Show More
Parallel excitation of optical parametric oscillations was observed on PPLT dispersed with tri-QPM structures in the transverse direction to a nano-second pump beam. It led to simultaneous IR generation from 1000 to 1150nm with slope efficiency > 30%. When a nonlinearly-chirped PPLT was subject to such IR pump, it exhibits simultaneous broad green generation from 500 to 560nm with single pass effi...Show More
We report on the demonstration of surface-emitted THz-wave DFG from a two-dimensional (2D) PPLN. The two orthogonal periodic structures individually compensate for both the phase mismatch of the launched lasers and generated THz-wave.Show More
The operating principles and a practical demonstration of surface-emitted THz waves via difference frequency mixing are discussed. We developed periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) THz-wave generators and an optical source based on 1.5-/spl mu/m diode lasers.Show More
We generated 5-ps optical pulses directly from a gain-switched semiconductor laser at 1550-nm wavelength. By amplifying these optical pulses to 1-kW peak-power without serious nonlinear distortions, we successfully demonstrated high efficiency SHG and supercontinuum generation at a wavelength region of less than 1-μm.Show More
We report surface-emitted terahertz (THz)-wave generation from PPLN optical waveguide using difference frequency mixing. The waveguide was fabricated by machining process instead of conventional proton-exchange. The confinement of only optical pulses makes it possible to achieve higher conversion efficiency and minimize the absorption loss of THz-wave in PPLN crystal.Show More
Generation of automatically synchronized dual-wavelength optical pulses was successfully demonstrated by using a combination of semiconductor lasers and a four wave mixing device. These dual-wavelength optical pulses have a terahertz interval frequency, and thus they are useful for investigating nonlinear optic processes in terahertz region.Show More
In conclusion, we have demonstrated that a stable EC-MLLD module can generate wavelength tunable optical clock pulses up to 40-GHz by higher-harmonic hybrid mode-locking. Our EC-MLLD which has flexible tunabilities in wavelength, pulse repetition frequency, and pulse width will be very beneficial for the evaluation and the optimization of 40-Gbit/s based optical communication systems.Show More
Optical sampling measurement of 160-Gbps signals incorporating all-optical clock recovery has been demonstrated. External-cavity mode-locked semiconductor laser modules, which directly generate coherent 2-ps optical pulses, were used for optical clock recovery and as an optical sampling pulse source. We accomplished the real-time observation of waveform distortion in 160-Gbps optical data signals ...Show More
The feasibility of OTDM/WDM transmission systems was investigated by a single channel 80 Gbit/s-1000 km and three channels WDM-600 km transmission, using mode-locked LDs with an 80 Gbit/s OTDM module and multiple DM transmission lines.Show More
Monolithic and external-cavity mode-locked semiconductor lasers are highly stabilized by means of electrical or optical signal injection incorporating a compact device-module packaging. Potential applications of these MLLDs are described for high-bit-rate optical communication systems at over 40 Gbps rate, and for ultrahigh-speed optical measurement systems.Show More
Summary form only given.The noise of a mode-locked laser diode (MLLD) can be broken into four orthogonal fluctuations: energy, carrier phase, frequency, and timing. We measure the carrier phase noise as well as the energy fluctuations of a bisection monolithically integrated 45-GHz repetition rate MLLD and compare it to theory. The width of pulses are 1.3 ps, the overall length of the laser diode ...Show More
A compact optical sampling measurement system with a temporal resolution of 2 ps has been developed. External-cavity mode-locked laser-diode modules, which directly generate coherent 2-ps optical pulses, were used as the optical sampling pulse sources. Real-time measurement of the recovery dynamics in semiconductor saturable absorber devices and 160-Gbit/s pseudorandom return-to-zero optical signa...Show More
We have achieved a phase stabilized an-optical subharmonic clock recovery through a cascading two-stage optical-pulse-injection synchronization of mode-locked diode lasers. Based on this clock recovery scheme, successful 40 to 10 Gbps optical demultiplexing was also demonstrated.Show More
Summary form only given. Precise tuning of monolithic mode-locked laser diodes to a 9.95238 GHz SDH frequency has been successfully obtained by controlling the effective length of the distributed Bragg reflector. This method is a very effective way to provide RZ and soliton optical pulse sources at a specific clock frequency through the present fabrication process.Show More
Error-free 40 Gbit/s OTDM transmission over 150 km utilising all-optical signal processing was successfully demonstrated. The cores of the present transmission experiment are picosecond optical pulse generation, optical clock extraction, and the picosecond optical gating all obtained by mode-locked laser diode devices.Show More
