In this paper, we propose and experiment with a dual-functional system that can simultaneously implement vector signal generation and radar detection based on frequency quadrupling. In the experimental demonstration, a generated W-band quadrature-phase-shift-keying (QPSK) vector signal is transmitted wirelessly over 1 m with a bit-error rate (BER) below 3.8 × 10-3. A radar working in the W band is investigated with a range resolution of 0.94 cm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that simultaneous QPSK vector signal generation and radar detection in the W band has been realized.A squeezed state with higher-order sidebands is a valuable quantum resource for channel multiplexing quantum communication. However, balanced homodyne detection used in nonclassical light detection has a trade-off performance between the detection bandwidth and clearance, in which the verification of a highly squeezing factor faces a challenge. Here, we construct two optical parametric amplifiers with cavity enhancement; one is for the generation of a -10.5 dB squeezed vacuum state, and the other is for all-optical phase-sensitive parametric homodyne detection. Finally, -6.5 dB squeezing at the carrier with 17 pairs of squeezing sidebands (bandwidth of 156 GHz) is directly and simultaneously observed. In particular, for the cavity-enhanced parametric oscillation and detection processes, we analyze the limiting factors of the detectable bandwidth and measurement deviation from the generated value, which indicates that the length difference and propagation loss between two optical parametric amplifiers should be as small as possible to improve the detection performance. The experimental results confirm our theoretical analysis.Ghost imaging plays an important role in the field of optical imaging. To realize color ghost imaging through the scattering media, we propose a deep learning method with high generation ability. Through our method, we can efficiently reconstruct color images with rich details, in line with human perception and close to the target color pictures. Experimental results show that our method can image through the scattering media with different scattering intensities and achieve good results even at a sampling rate of 0.1.Most polarization-sensitive photodetectors detect either linearly polarized (LP) or circularly polarized (CP) light. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a multiple-polarization photodetector based on a hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) metasurface, which is sensitive to both LP and CP light simultaneously. The perovskite metasurface is composed of a HOIP antenna array on a single-crystal HOIP film. Owing to the antenna anisotropy, the absorption of linearly polarized light at the metasurface depends on the polarization angle; also, due to the mirror asymmetry of the antenna elements, the metasurface is also sensitive to different circular polarizations. Polarization-dependent photocurrent responses to both LP and CP light are detected. Our results highlight the potential of perovskite metasurfaces for integrated photoelectric applications.We demonstrate a Si/SiO/SiO2-based period-chirped guided mode resonance (GMR) filter to discriminate telecom o-band wavelengths by spatially resolved horizontal movement. Continuously period-chirped silicon gratings were fabricated by using a Lloyd's laser interferometer with a convex mirror. Due to the large waveguide effective index, the GMR filter can be realized with a short grating period, thus enabling a slow grating period transition along the sample position and high optical resolution in wavelength discrimination. Depositing a SiO/SiO2 stack on top of silicon gratings enables a narrowband GMR filter with a linewidth of 1-1.5 nm over a wavelength range of 1260-1360 nm. By using the chirped GMR filter as a dispersive device, the optical spectra of a near-infrared broadband light source are reconstructed. An optimized aspheric mirror is proposed to further improve the linearity of chirped gratings. Such a period-chirped GMR filter is promising for compact on-chip spectroscopy and sensing applications.A compact optical layout of a pulse shaper for strongly chirped laser pulses of nanosecond time scale exploiting a tilted chirped volume Bragg grating and a programmable spatial light modulator is proposed. The setup has a non-zero frequency dispersion; thus it may be used for stretching or compressing the pulse and controlling its shape simultaneously. The feasibility of spectral shaping with a resolution of 0.16 nm, corresponding to a time resolution of 150 ps, and a contrast ratio of 102 is demonstrated experimentally.An optical element has been invented to generate a zero-order quasi-Bessel beam with a certain distance to the element, which does not exist in the zero-order quasi-Bessel beam by using a traditional axicon. The cross section of designed element is an isosceles triangle whose equal sides are circumscribed by two semi-ellipses. Using a well-developed three-dimensional (3D)-printing technique, we have fabricated a series of elements working at terahertz (THz) frequency. Both simulated and experimental results clearly show that there is a certain distance between the generated quasi-Bessel beam and this element. A physical analysis based on geometric optics theory is performed to explain the obtained results. Because it is a refractive transmitted optical element, we propose that it can be also realized at another frequency band if the relevant processing techniques are available.In this Letter, we present an enhanced bandwidth distributed acoustic sensor (DAS) that uses a frequency multiplexed interrogation system to probe a micro-machined point reflector fiber. The fiber contains a series of discrete point reflectors with reflectance as high as -48 dB, while the frequency multiplexed interrogator allows us to increase the effective pulse repetition rate by a factor of 10. Together, this enables a phase noise as low as -101 dB (re rad2/Hz) for a 2.5 km fiber with 10 m spatial resolution, corresponding to a strain noise of 0.095p ε/Hz. This scheme also enables a 10-fold increase in the sensor bandwidth without introducing noise due to interference fading. Finally, we demonstrate sensing at ranges up to 10 km using a fiber containing 1000 point reflectors, illustrating the scalability of this approach.In multiphoton 3D direct laser writing and stimulated Raman scattering applications, rapid and arbitrary pulse modulation with an extremely high contrast ratio would be very beneficial. Here, we demonstrate a femtosecond fiber-feedback optical parametric oscillator (FFOPO) system in combination with pulse picking in the pump beam. This allows tunable signal output at variable burst rates from DC all the way up to 5 MHz. Furthermore, arbitrary pulse sequences can be generated. The rapid signal buildup dynamics provide individual full-power pulses with only two prepulses. This is possible without the requirement for additional injection seeding. Hereby, the intrinsically high intra-cavity losses of the FFOPO system are found to beneficial, as they enable rapid off-switching of the output as signal ring-down is efficiently suppressed. Possible applications are the reduction of the average power while maintaining a high peak power level, as well as tunable arbitrary pulse sequence generation.Flat-top beams have plenty of applications in theoretical and applied research, but they are not eigenmodes of the wave equation. Here, we propose an effective strategy for generating flat-top beams in fibers, which originates from the incoherent superposition of orbital angular momentum (OAM) and fundamental (LP01) modes. The designed all-fiber passively Q-switched laser can realize high-quality pulsed flat-top and OAM beam emissions. The normalized root mean square of the flat-top beam is around 4.7%, and the purity of the OAM mode is calculated to be higher than 98%. For the first time to the best of our knowledge, pulsed emission of a flat-top beam is achieved using an all-fiber laser. Moreover, its repetition rate and duration can be controlled by adjusting the pump.The in-plane orientation-dependent electrical and optical properties of two-dimensional (2D) anisotropic materials attract significant attention because of the intriguing underlying physics. However, this feature limits their further development in polarization-independent applications such as refractive index sensors and light absorbers. In this paper, polarization-independent optical properties of black phosphorous (BP) metadevices are achieved by the design of a single-layer pattern of 2D anisotropic material. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation results indicate that the absorption spectrum remains unchanged as the polarization angle of the incident light varies from 0° to 360°. The performance of the BP metadevices when used as refractive index sensors is also studied. The results show that the polarization-independent BP sensors exhibit high sensitivity and figures of merit (FOMs). This work opens up the possibility of fabricating optically polarization-independent devices based on a single-layer pattern of 2D anisotropic material.Thermal noise usually dominates the low-frequency region of the optical phase noise of soliton microcombs, which leads to decoherence that limits many aspects of applications. In this work, we demonstrate a simple and reliable way to mitigate this noise by laser cooling with a pump laser. The key is rendering the pump laser to simultaneously excite two neighboring cavity modes from different families that are respectively red and blue detuned, one for soliton generation and the other for laser cooling.Random Raman fiber laser (RRFL) has been widely studied in high-power laser generation due to its special lasing characteristics. However, all previous high-power results are based on the half-open cavity. In this letter, we demonstrate an applicable high-power RRFL with the simplest structure, that is, a full-open cavity. The lasing dynamic and output characteristics are theoretically and experimentally studied. Laser source with multi-longitudinal modes can result in the random laser output from one side even in the full-open cavity. The ratio of the backward output power is mainly determined by the reflectivity of fiber ends. The experimental results show that such a simple structure can easily generate kilowatts of random laser power and is a promising setup to achieve higher output power, which is also an important platform to study the laser dynamic in high-power full-open cavity without any point-action or regular distributed reflectors.The prevalent material design principles for optical thermometry primarily rely on thermally driven changes in the relative intensities of the thermally coupled levels (TCLs) of rare-earth-doped phosphor materials, where the maximum achievable sensitivity is limited by the energy gap between the TCLs. In this work, a new, to the best of our knowledge, approach to thermometric material design is proposed, which is based on temperature tuning of PL emission from the visible to the NIR region. Selleckchem BLU-554 We demonstrate a model ferroelectric phosphor, Eu3+-doped 0.94(Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3)-0.06(BaTiO3) (NBT-6BT), which, by virtue of the contrasting effects of temperature on PL signals from the host and Eu3+ intraband transitions, can achieve a relative thermal sensitivity as high as 3.05% K-1. This model system provides a promising alternative route for developing self-referencing optical thermometers with high thermal sensitivity and good signal discriminability.
