The Study of All-optical Nonlinear Waveguide DevicesTasy, Rong-Zhan 01 August 2003 (has links)
In the paper, the beam propagation method is used to analyze the characteristics and the applications of nonlinear optical waveguide structures. The nonlinear optical waveguide is a medium whose refractive index changes with the electric field intensity. Based on the mode theory, the propagating envelop of optical light waves in the three-layers nonlinear waveguide with the nonlinear cladding, the nonlinear substrate and the linear guiding film can be solved. Not only the dispersion relation curve is described, but also the affection of input power to the electric field distribution is observed.
In the application of nonlinear optical waveguide structure, the three-layers nonlinear waveguide structure and the local nonlinear Mach-Zehnder waveguide interferometer structure will be discussed: In the three-layers nonlinear waveguide structure, by launching the symmetric and antisymmetric modes, various characteristics of spatial optical solitons will be observed. Based on the interaction property between spatial optical solitons, a new all-optical 1¡ÑN switching device will be proposed; In the local nonlinear Mach-Zehnder waveguide interferometer structure, by fixing the input signal power and changing the control power, output signal beam will show the switching property. Besides, by changing the local nonlinear distributions, the nonlinear Mach-Zehnder interferometer will show various logic functions. The numerical results show that the proposed structures could function as all-optical switch devices and all-optical logic gates.

Design and Analysis of an All-optical Free-space Communication LinkLevander, Fredrik, Sakari, Per January 2002 (has links)
<p>Free Space Optics (FSO) has received a great deal of attention lately both in the military and civilian information society due to its potentially high capacity, rapid deployment, portability and high security from deception and jamming. The main issue is that severe weather can have a detrimental impact on the performance, which may result in an inadequate availability. </p><p>This report contains a feasibility study for an all-optical free-space link intended for short-range communication (200-500 m). Laboratory tests have been performed to evaluate the link design. Field tests were made to investigate availability and error performance under the influence of different weather conditions. Atmospheric impact due to turbulence related effects have been studied in detail. The most crucial part of the link design turned out to be the receiver optics and several design solutions were investigated. The main advantage of an all-optical design, compared to commercially available electrooptical FSO-systems, is the potentially lower cost.</p>

Strong-Coupling Quantum Dynamics in a Structured Photonic Band Gap: Enabling On-chip All-optical ComputingMa, Xun Jr. 17 December 2012 (has links)
In this thesis, we demonstrate a new type of resonant, nonlinear, light-matter interaction facilitated by the unique electromagnetic vacuum density-of-state (DOS) structure of Photonic Band Gap (PBG) materials. Strong light localization inside PBG waveguides allows extremely strong coupling between laser fields and embedded two-level quantum dots (QD). The resulting Mollow splitting is large enough to traverse the precipitous DOS jump created by a waveguide mode cutoff. This allows the QD Bloch vector to sense the non-smoothness of the vacuum structure and evolve in novel ways that are forbidden in free space. These unusual strong-coupling effects are described using a "vacuum structure term" of the Bloch equation, combined with field-dependent relaxation rates experienced by the QD Bloch vector. This leads to alternation between coherent evolution and enhanced relaxation. As a result, dynamic high-contrast switching of QD populations can be realized with a single beam of picosecond pulses. During enhanced relaxation to a slightly inverted steady state at the pulse peak, the Bloch vector rapidly switches from anti-parallel to parallel alignment with the pulse torque vector. This then leads to a highly inverted state through subsequent coherent "adiabatic following" near the pulse tail, providing a robust mechanism for picosecond, femto-Joule all-optical switching. The simultaneous input of a second, weaker (signal) driving beam at a different frequency on top of the stronger (holding) beam enables rich modulation effects and unprecedented coherent control over the QD population. This occurs through resonant coupling of the signal pulse with the Mollow sideband transitions created by the holding pulse, leading to either augmentation or negation of the final QD population achieved by the holding pulse alone. This effect is applied to ultrafast all-optical logic AND, OR and NOT gates in the presence of significant (0.1 THz) nonradiative dephasing and (about 1%) inhomogeneous broadening. Further numerical studies of pulse evolutions inside the proposed devices demonstrate satisfactory population contrast within a PBG waveguide length of about 10 micro meter. These results provide the building blocks for low-power, ultrafast, multi-wavelength channel, on-chip, all-optical computing.

Magnetization reversal mechanism leading to all-optical helicity-dependent switching / Mécanisme de retournement d'aimantation entraînant le retournement tout-optique dépendant de l'hélicitéHadri, Mohammed Salah El 19 September 2016 (has links)
Le contrôle de l’aimantation sans application de champ magnétique externe est un domaine de recherche en plein essor, étant prometteur pour les applications technologiques d’enregistrement magnétique et de spintronique. En 2007, Stanciu et al. ont découvert la possibilité de retourner l’aimantation dans un film fait d’alliage ferrimagnétique de GdFeCo en utilisant des impulsions laser femtoseconde. Longtemps cantonné aux alliages de GdFeCo, ce retournement tout-optique s’avère un phénomène plus général, puisqu’il a été mesuré plus récemment dans une large variété de matériaux ferrimagnétiques et ferromagnétiques. Cette découverte a ainsi ouvert la voie à l’intégration de l’écriture tout-optique dans l’industrie des mémoires magnétiques. Néanmoins, l’ensemble des modèles théoriques expliquant le retournement tout-optique dans le GdFeCo ne semblent pas s’appliquer aux autres matériaux magnétiques, mettant ainsi en question l’unicité de l’origine microscopique de ce phénomène. Au cours de cette thèse, nous avons étudié la réponse aux impulsions laser femtoseconde des alliages ferrimagnétiques et des multicouches ferromagnétiques, dans l'objectif d'élucider divers aspects du mécanisme du retournement optique. Nous avons élucidé expérimentalement les paramètres magnétiques gouvernant le retournement tout-optique. Nous avons montré que l’observation du retournement tout-optique nécessite des domaines magnétiques plus grands que la taille du faisceau laser pendant le processus de refroidissement, un critère qui est commun à la fois aux matériaux ferrimagnétiques et ferromagnétiques. En outre, nous nous sommes intéressés à l’intégration du retournement tout-optique dans des dispositifs de spintronique. Grâce à une caractérisation temporelle de l’aimantation dans des croix de Hall via l’effet Hall extraordinaire, nous avons distingué entre deux types de mécanismes du retournement optique. Le premier type est un retournement purement thermique obtenu avec une impulsion unique dans les alliages ferrimagnétiques de GdFeCo, tandis que le deuxième type est un retournement cumulative et à deux régimes dans les alliages ferrimagnétiques de TbCo et les multicouches ferromagnétiques de Co/Pt. Ce dernier consiste en une formation indépendante de l’hélicité de multidomaines magnétiques suivie d'une ré-aimantation dépendante de l'hélicité sur plusieurs dizaines de millisecondes. / The control of magnetization without external magnetic fields is an emergent field of research due to the prospect of impacting many technological applications such as magnetic recording and spintronics. In 2007, Stanciu et al. discovered an intriguing new possibility to switch magnetization in a ferrimagnetic GdFeCo alloy film using femtosecond laser pulses. This all-optical switching of magnetization had long been restricted to GdFeCo alloys, though it turned out to be a more general phenomenon for a variety of ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic materials. This discovery paved the way for an integration of the all-optical writing in storage industries. Nevertheless, the theoretical models explaining the switching in GdFeCo alloys films do not appear to apply in the other materials, thus questioning the uniqueness of the microscopic origin of all-optical switching. In this thesis, we have investigated the response of femtosecond laser pulses in ferrimagnetic alloys and ferromagnetic multilayers to the action of femtosecond laser pulses, in order to elucidate several aspects of the all-optical switching mechanism. We have experimentally studied the magnetic parameters governing the all-optical switching. We showed that the observation of all-optical switching requires magnetic domains larger than the laser spot size during the cooling process; such a criterion is common for both ferrimagnets and ferromagnets. Furthermore, we have investigated the integration of all-optical switching in spintronic devices via the anomalous Hall effect. Through a time-dependent electrical investigation of the magnetization in Hall crosses, we distinguished between two types of all-optical switching mechanisms. The first type is the single-pulse helicity-independent switching in ferrimagnetic GdFeCo alloy films as shown in previous studies, whereas the second is a two regimes helicity-dependent switching in both ferrimagnetic TbCo alloys and ferromagnetic Co/Pt multilayers. The latter consists in a step-like helicity-independent multiple-domain formation followed by a helicity-dependent remagnetization on several tens of milliseconds.

All-Optical Helicity dependent switching effect in magnetic thin films / Étude du retournement optique dépendant de l’hélicité dans des couches minces magnétiquesLambert, Charles-Henri 01 July 2015 (has links)
Depuis une quinzaine d’années, de nombreuses solutions différentes ont été proposés afin de modifier l’aimantations de matériaux sans aucun champ magnétique extérieur appliqué. La manipulation d’aimantation à moindre coût énergétique, de préférence à des échelles de temps ultracourtes, est devenu un enjeu fondamental avec des implications pour les technologies d’enregistrement magnétique et de nouvelles sortes de stockage. Sur ce chemin, le type d’interaction découverte par Stanciu et al. ouvre la voie à l’utilisation de la lumière comme moyen d’exciter et de sonder directement les matériaux magnétiques. La description des théories et modèles existants dans ce domaine permet de nous rendre attentif sur les différents paramètres impliqués par l’interaction des lasers ultrarapides et matériaux magnétiques. L’entrelacement spécifique des impulsions de chaleur et de moment angulaire propre aux lasers ultrarapides est mise en avant afin de discuter de leur rôle dans les phénomènes observés. Le délai des interactions responsables de l’état final de l’aimantation est abordé et notamment la manière dont celle-ci ont un impact sur la façon dont le système se stabilise après une excitation laser. En outre, nous nous sommes intéressés à la relation entre les paramètres matériels et l’état final de l’aimantation obtenue avec un laser ultrarapide. Grâce aux nombreuses classes de matériaux magnétiques existantes les paramètres magnétiques peuvent être ajustés dans une grande gamme de valeurs et de manière entièrement contrôlés. Notre installation d’imagerie magnétique est alors capable de sonder les caractéristiques optiques et la stabilité des domaines après l’excitation. Nous avons finalement démontré que le retournement optique dépendent de l’hélicité peut être observée non seulement dans un grand nombre de couches minces d’alliages de terre rare-métaux de transition (RE-TM) mais aussi dans une variété beaucoup plus large de matériaux, y compris les multicouches et hétérostructures de RE-TM. Nous montrons en outre que les hétérostructures ferrimagnétiques dépourvues de terres rares présentent également un retournement optique. Nous avons en plus développé le contrôle optique de multicouches ferromagnétiques dont des films granulaires actuellement explorés pour l’enregistrement magnétique ultra-haute densité de demain. Notre découverte montre que la manipulation de l’aimantation dans des matériaux magnétiques est un phénomène beaucoup plus général que précédemment suspecté et peut avoir un impact majeur sur l’enregistrement magnétique et le stockage de l’information grâce à l’intégration nouvelle de ce type de contrôle optique dans des bits ferromagnétiques / The possibilities of modifying magnetization without applied magnetic fields have attracted growing attention over the past fifteen years. The low-power manipulation of magnetization, preferably at ultrashort timescales, has become a fundamental challenge with implications for future magnetic information memory and storage technologies. In particular the interplay of laser and magnetism recently discovered by Stanciu et al. opens up new way for light to be used as an excitation and a probe of magnetic materials. A description of the current models and frameworks developed in the field requires a careful look at the different parameters involved through the interaction of ultrafast lasers and magnetic materials. The specific and complex interplay between heat and angular momentum transfer is highlighted in order to discuss the role of each of them in the phenomena observed. The timescales of the different interactions responsible for the final state of magnetization are presented and will impact the way the system recovery after a laser excitation. Besides we were interested in exploring the relation between the material parameters such as anisotropy, ordering temperature and exchange coupling on the final state of magnetization obtained with a laser. Indeed thanks to the many different magnetism classes existing the magnetic parameters can be tuned widely and in a controlled manner. Our imaging setup then is able to probe the optical characteristics and domain stability after the laser excitation. We finally demonstrated that all-optical helicity-dependent switching (AO-HDS) can be observed not only in selected rare earth-transition metal (RE-TM) alloy films but also in a much broader variety of materials, including RE-TM alloys, multilayers and heterostructures. We further show that RE-free Co-Ir-based synthetic ferrimagnetic heterostructures designed to mimic the magnetic properties of RE-TM alloys also exhibit AO-HDS. We further developed the optical control of ferromagnetic materials ranging from magnetic thin films to multilayers and even granular films being explored for ultra-high-density magnetic recording. Our finding shows that optical control of magnetic materials is a much more general phenomenon than previously assumed and may have a major impact on data memory and storage industries through the integration of optical control of ferromagnetic bits

Multi-Core Fiber and Optical Supersymmetry: Theory and ApplicationsMacho Ortiz, Andrés 02 September 2019 (has links)
[ES] A día de hoy, las redes de comunicaciones de fibra óptica están alcanzando su capacidad límite debido al rápido crecimiento de la demanda de datos en la última década, generado por el auge de los teléfonos inteligentes, las tabletas, las redes sociales, la provisión de servicios en la nube, las transmisiones en streaming y las comunicaciones máquina-a-máquina. Con el fin de solventar dicho problema, se ha propuesto incrementar la capacidad límite de las redes ópticas mediante el reemplazo de la fibra óptica clásica por la fibra óptica multinúcleo (MCF, acrónimo en inglés de multi-core fiber), la cual es capaz de integrar la capacidad de varias fibras ópticas clásicas en su estructura ocupando prácticamente la misma sección transversal que éstas.
Sin embargo, explotar todo el potencial de una fibra MCF requiere entender en profundidad los fenómenos electromagnéticos que aparecen en este tipo de fibras cuando guiamos luz a travésde ellas. Así pues, en la primera parte de la tesis se analizan teóricamente estos fenómenos electromagnéticos y, posteriormente, se estudia la viabilidad de la tecnología MCF en distintos tipos de redes ópticas de transporte, específicamente, en aquellas que hacen uso de transmisiones radio-sobre-fibra. Estos resultados pueden ser de gran utilidad para las futuras generaciones móviles 5G y Beyond-5G en las próximas décadas.
Adicionalmente, con el fin de expandir las funcionalidades básicas de las fibras MCF, esta tesis explora nuevas estrategias de diseño de las mismas utilizando la analogía existente entre las ecuaciones que rigen la mecánica cuántica y el electromagnetismo. Con esta idea en mente, en la segunda parte de la tesis se propone diseñar una nueva clase de fibras MCF usando las matemáticas de la supersimetría, surgida en el seno de la teoría de cuerdas y de la teoría cuántica de campos como un marco teórico de trabajo que permite unificar las interacciones fundamentales de la naturaleza (la nuclear fuerte, la nuclear débil, el electromagnetismo y la gravedad). Girando en torno a esta idea surgen las fibras MCF supersimétricas, las cuales nos permiten procesar la información de los usuarios durante la propia propagación de la luz a través de ellas, reduciendo así la complejidad del procesado de datos del usuario en recepción.
Finalmente, esta tesis se completa introduciendo un cambio de paradigma que permite diseñar dispositivos fotónicos disruptivos. Demostramos que la supersimetría de mecánica cuántica no relativista, propuesta como una serie de transformaciones matemáticas restringidas al dominio espacial, se puede extender también al dominio del tiempo, al menos dentro del marco de trabajo de la fotónica. Como resultado de nuestras investigaciones, demostramos que la supersimetría temporal puede convertirse en una plataforma prometedora para la fotónica integrada ya que nos permite diseñar nuevos dispositivos ópticos versátiles y ultra-compactos que pueden jugar un papel clave en los procesadores del futuro.
Asimismo, con el fin de hacer los resultados principales de esta tesis doctoral lo más generales posibles, se detalla cómo poder extrapolarlos a otros campos de la física como acústica y mecánica cuántica. / [CAT] Avui en dia, les xarxes de comunicacions de fibra òptica estan aconseguint la seua capacitat límit a causa del ràpid creixement de la demanda de dades duante l'última dècada, generat per l'auge dels telèfons intel·ligents, les tablets, les xarxes socials, la provisió de servicis en la núvol, les transmissions en streaming i les comunicacions màquina-a-màquina. Per a resoldre el dit problema, s'ha proposat incrementar la capacitat límit de les xarxes òptiques per mitjà del reemplaçament de la fibra òptica clàssica per la fibra òptica multinúcleo (MCF, acrònim en anglés de multi-core fiber), la qual és capaç d'integrar la capacitat de diverses fibres òptiques clàssiques en la seua estructura ocupant pràcticament la mateixa secció transversal que estes.
Tanmateix, explotar tot el potencial d'una fibra MCF requereix entendre en profunditat els fenòmens electromagnètics que apareixen en aquestes fibres quan guiem llum a través d'elles. Així, doncs, en la primera part de la tesi analitzem teòricament aquests fenòmens electromagnètics i, posteriorment, estudiem la viabilitat de la tecnologia MCF en distints tipus de xarxes òptiques de transport, específicament, en aquelles que fan ús de transmissions ràdio-sobre-fibra. Estos resultats poden ser de gran utilitat per a les futures generacions mòbils 5G i Beyond-5G en les pròximes dècades.
Addicionalment, a fi d'expandir les funcionalitats bàsiques de les fibres MCF, esta tesi explora noves estratègies de disseny de les mateixes utilitzant l'analogia existent entre les equacions que regixen la mecànica quàntica i l'electromagnetisme. Amb aquesta idea en ment, en la segona part de la tesi proposem dissenyar una nova classe de fibres MCF usant les matemàtiques de la supersimetria, sorgida en el si de la teoria de cordes i de la teoria quàntica de camps com un marc teòric de treball que permet unificar les interaccions fonamentals de la natura (la nuclear forta, la nuclear feble, l'electromagnetisme i la gravetat). Al voltant d'aquesta idea sorgeixen les fibres MCF supersimètriques, les quals ens permeten processar la informació dels usuaris durant la pròpia propagació de la llum a través d'elles, reduint així la complexitat del processament de dades de l'usuari a recepció.
Finalment, esta tesi es completa introduint un canvi de paradigma que permet dissenyar dispositius fotónicos disruptius. Demostrem que la supersimetria de mecànica quàntica no relativista, proposta com una sèrie de transformacions matemàtiques restringides al domini espacial, es pot estendre també al domini del temps, almenys dins del marc de treball de la fotónica. Com resultat de les nostres investigacions, demostrem que la supersimetria temporal pot convertir-se en una plataforma prometedora per a la fotònica integrada ja que ens permet dissenyar nous dispositius òptics versàtils i ultracompactes que poden jugar un paper clau en els processadors del futur.
Per tal de fer els resultats principals d'aquesta tesi doctoral el més generals possibles, es detalla com poder extrapolar-los a altres camps de la física com ara la acústica i la mecànica quàntica. / [EN] To date, communication networks based on optical fibers are rapidly approaching their capacity limit as a direct consequence of the increment of the data traffic demand in the last decade due to the ubiquity of smartphones, tablets, social networks, cloud computing applications, streaming services including video and gaming, and machine-to-machine communications. In such a scenario, a new class of optical fiber which is able to integrate the capacity of several classical optical fibers approximately in the same transverse section as that of the original one, the multi-core fiber (MCF), has been recently proposed to overcome the capacity limits of current optical networks.
However, the possibility of exploiting the full potential of an MCF requires to deeply understand the electromagnetic phenomena that can be observed when guiding light in this optical medium. In this vein, in the first part of this thesis, we analyze theoretically these phenomena and, next, we study the suitability of the MCF technology in optical transport networks using radio-over-fiber transmissions. These findings could be of great utility for 5G and Beyond-5G cellular technology in the next decades.
In addition, the close connection between the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics and electromagnetism becomes a great opportunity to explore ground-breaking design strategies of these new fibers that allow us to expand their basic functionalities. Revolving around this idea, in the second part of this thesis we propose to design a new class of MCFs using the mathematics of supersymmetry (SUSY), emerged within the context of string and quantum field theory as a means to unify the basic interactions of nature (strong, electroweak, and gravitational interactions). Interestingly, a supersymmetric MCF will allow us, not only to propagate the light, but also to process the information of users during propagation.
Finally, we conclude this thesis by introducing a paradigm shift that allows us to design disruptive optical devices. We demonstrate that the basic ideas of SUSY in non-relativistic quantum mechanics, restricted to the space domain to clarify unsolved questions about SUSY in string and quantum field theory, can also be extended to the time domain, at least within the framework of photonics. In this way, it is shown that temporal supersymmetry may serve as a key tool to judiciously design versatile and ultra-compact optical devices enabling a promising new platform for integrated photonics.
For the sake of completeness, we indicate how to extrapolate the main results of this thesis to other fields of physics, such as acoustics and quantum mechanics. / Macho Ortiz, A. (2019).

DESIGN OF HIGHER-ORDER ALL OPTICAL BINARY DELTA-SIGMA MODULATOR USING RING LASERAyed Alshammari, Marji 01 December 2018 (has links) (PDF)
The aim of this research is to investigate the performance of a bi-stable device using a single active element and to design a higher order all optical binary delta-sigma modulator (BΔΣM). A Delta sigma modulator has two important components that require enhancement to achieve robust modulation. The first component is the integrator which accumulates the error and at the same time leaks it. Here, the integrator is a single ring laser consisting of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and a filter to allow the light frequency of interest into the ring. The other component is the bi-stable device (called Schmitt trigger) that switches either ON (1) or OFF (0). There are different novel approaches to developing a bi-stable circuit. First, the coupled two ring lasers where each ring suppresses each other. Second, a novel idea that considered as a bi-stable device with single active element to achieve reduced power and reduce cost. This type of circuit is merged ring lasers with using single SOA. This system is modeled and its bistability hysteretic characteristics is investigated. The first bi-stable device is used to construct an all optical BΔΣM with 1st, 2nd and 3rd -order approaches. It performs better when the SOA bulk device is replaced by multi-quantum well (MQW) SOA.

Simulation of Packet Pacing in Small-Buffer NetworksMisra, Anindya 01 January 2010 (has links) (PDF)
The growing use of the internet and the wide variety of applications which run on it puts a considerable demand for high bandwidth networks. All optical core networks are one such possible networks which cater to the demand of high bandwidths.Since the all optical routers use the fiber delay lines as optical buffers, it is impossible to build optical buffers of such high capacity.The present day solutions for optical buffers are fiber delay lines(FDL) which are nothing but long optical fiber lines which are convoluted and folded in order to provide the necessary delay in transmission resulting in a small buffer which can store packets and thus can be used as a buffer.If we consider the example of a single TCP source sending an infinite amount of data with packets of constant size with the flow passing through a single router. If we make an assumption that the sender's access link is much faster than the receiver's bottleneck link of capacity, it will cause packets to be queued at the router.We propose a mechanism to pace traffic in the network based on the queue length of the buffer in the output port. The underlying principle delays the transmission of the packet depending on the instantaneous queue length of the buffer.A prototype of such a model was simulated in network simulator and the performance metrics were measured.
