Photonic chip-based resonant supercontinuum via pulse-driven Kerr microresonator solitons

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng, Tobias Herr, Miles Henry Anderson

Supercontinuum generation and soliton microcomb formation both represent key techniques for the formation of coherent, ultrabroad optical frequency combs, enabling the RF-to-optical link. Coherent supercontinuum generation typically relies on ultrashort pu ...

Psychometrics of Disembodiment and Its Differential Modulation by Visuomotor and Visuotactile Mismatches

Oliver Alan Kannape, Bigna Lenggenhager

Altered states of embodiment are fundamental to the scientific understanding of bodily self consciousness. The feeling of disembodiment during everyday activities is common to clinical conditions; however, the direct study of disembodiment in experimental ...

Nonreciprocity in Bianisotropic Systems with Uniform Time Modulation

Xiaoqiang Wang, Mohammad Sajjad Mirmoosa, Xiao Wang

Physical systems with material properties modulated in time provide versatile routes for designing magnetless nonreciprocal devices. Traditionally, nonreciprocity in such systems is achieved exploiting both temporal and spatial modulations, which inevitabl ...

Hybrid Golay-coded Brillouin optical time-domain analysis based on differential pulses

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang, Zonglei Li

Different approaches to implement unipolar Golay coding in Brillouin optical time-domain analysis based on a differential pulse pair (DPP) are investigated. The analysis points out that dedicated post-processing procedures must be followed to secure the sh ...

Hybrid Coding Scheme for Brillouin Optical Time-domain Analysis Based on Golay and Differential Pulses

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang, Zonglei Li

A hybrid Golay coding method based on differential pulse-pair sequences is proposed for distributed Brillouin sensing. The method provides 1.5 dB signal-to-noise ratio improvement over unipolar Golay with halved measurement time, securing high spatial reso ...

Generation of 1.5-octave intense infrared pulses by nonlinear interactions in DAST crystal

Christoph Peter Hauri

Infrared pulses with large spectral width extending from 1.2 to 3.4 μm are generated in the organic crystal DAST (4-N, N-dimethylamino-4′-N′-methylstilbazolium tosylate). The input pulse has a central wavelength of 1.5 μm and 65 fs duration. With 2.8 mJ in ...

LLR Compression for BICM Systems Using Large Constellations

Bixio Rimoldi, Stefano Rosati

Digital video broadcasting (DVB-C2) and other modern communication standards increase diversity by means of a symbol-level interleaver that spans over several codewords. Deinterleaving at the receiver requires a large memory, which has a significant impact ...

High-resolution Brillouin fiber sensing using random phase coding of the pump and probe waves

Luc Thévenaz, Nikolay Primerov

Distributed temperature measurements with 1.2 cm resolution based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in standard fibers are reported. High resolution is achieved by phase-coding both pump and probe waves with a high-rate, pseudo-random binary phase c ...

Distributed strain and temperature sensing over 50 km of SMF with 1 m spatial resolution employing BOTDA and optical pulse coding

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez

In this paper we demonstrate a long-range distributed strain and temperature optical fiber sensor using Brillouin optical time-domain analysis in conjunction with optical pulse coding. Compared to standard BOTDA, pulse coding provides higher signal-to-nois ...

Shear modulation experiments with ECCD on TCV

Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Roland Behn, Petri Nikkola

Anomalous electron transport is determined by turbulence, which in turn is affected by magnetic shear. A novel application of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD), aiming at localized shear modulation, has been applied on the TCV tokamak for experiments ...
