In this paper, Stokes light induced modulation instability (MI) in high power continuous wave (CW) fiber amplifiers is observed. The investigation shows that the Stokes light generated by inter-modal four wave mixing (IMFWM) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in high power fiber amplifiers can be modulated by the signal light through XPM and cause MI. Then, a sideband will be generated around the second-order Raman frequency shift, which is amplified by SRS and shown as a train of pulses in time domain. It is shown that the frequency shift of the sideband will be influenced by IMFWM and SRS. In addition, the sideband was found to be blue-shifted with the increase of the power, which indicates that the frequency shift of the sideband is mainly depended on MI, while SRS plays the role of amplification.In this study, emission and extinction spectroscopy were combined to in situ measure temperature and volume fraction distributions of liquid germanium nanoparticle gas-phase synthesized in an argon/hydrogen/germane flow through a microwave plasma. Emission of the hot particles and extinction against a continuous background were recorded by a spectrometer in the 380-703 nm and 230-556 nm ranges, respectively, selected based on the specific optical properties of the material. Absorption coefficients were deconvoluted from line-of-sight attenuation (LOSA) measurements by a least-square algorithm and then used to determine the local volume fraction distribution. The temperature field was derived from the line-of-sight emission (LOSE) spectra with the prior knowledge of absorption coefficients. A multi-wavelength reconstruction model was developed for the determination of the spatially-resolved distribution of the measured quantities assuming a stationary axisymmetric flow. Advantages of the method include experimental simplicity, low cost, and adaptability to up-scaled reactor sizes.The omnidirectional radiation scheme has been widely applied to thermal emitters for radiative cooling. We quantitatively illustrate that significant net radiative absorption at high zenith angles limits the performance of such isotropic emitters, and demonstrate that simply cutting off components corresponding to high angles can substantially improve the cooling performance of commonly used isotropic emitter designs. We also present an expression for the ideal directional spectral emissivity at conditions below ambient temperature. As our approach can be applied to coolers with arbitrary surfaces, our results may serve as a basic guideline for designing practical systems with various surfaces, such as rooftops or façades of modern buildings with complicated geometries.We report on an experimental study of photon thermalization and condensation in a semiconductor microresonator in the weak-coupling regime. We measure the dispersion relation of light and the photon mass in a single-wavelength, broad-area resonator. The observed luminescence spectrum is compatible with a room-temperature, thermal-equilibrium distribution. A phase transition, identified by a saturation of the population at high energies and a superlinear increase of the occupation at low energy, takes place when the phase-space density is of order unity. We explain our observations by Bose-Einstein condensation of photons in equilibrium with a particle reservoir and discuss the relation with laser emission.This Joint Issue of Optics Express and Optical Materials Express features 15 articles written by authors who participated in the international online conference Advanced Solid State Lasers held 13-16 October, 2020. click here This review provides a summary of the conference and these articles from the conference which sample the spectrum of solid state laser theory and experiment, from materials research to sources and from design innovation to applications.In this letter, we report the first demonstration of monolithically integrated ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diodes (LEDs) and visible-blind UV photodetectors (PDs) employing the same p-GaN/AlGaN/GaN epi-structures grown on Si. Due to the radiative recombination of holes from the p-GaN layer with electrons from the 2-D electron gas (2DEG) accumulating at the AlGaN/GaN heterointerface, the forward biased LED with p-GaN/AlGaN/GaN junction exhibits uniform light emission at 360 nm. Facilitated by the high-mobility 2DEG channel governed by a p-GaN optical gate, the visible-blind phototransistor-type PDs show a low dark current of ∼10-7 mA/mm and a high responsivity of 3.5×105 A/W. Consequently, high-sensitivity photo response with a large photo-to-dark current ratio of over 106 and a response time less than 0.5 s is achieved in the PD under the UV illumination from the on-chip adjacent LED. The demonstrated simple integration scheme of high-performance UV PDs and LEDs shows great potential for various applications such as compact opto-isolators.Absolute distance measurement with laser interferometry has the advantages of high precision and traceability to the definition of meter but its accuracy is primarily limited by the phase demodulation. Among kinds of absolute distance interferometric measurements, the multi-wavelength interferometry is widely used but seriously limited by the generation of suitable synthetic wavelength and the stability of adopted synthetic wavelength. Inspired by the mechanical lever, we hereby establish a principle of laser interferometric wavelength leverage (LIWL) for absolute distance measurement. By keeping the phase difference in two single wavelengths constant, LIWL achieves the measurement of large distance with respect to synthetic wavelengths by detecting nanometer displacement with respect to a single wavelength. The merit of LIWL is eliminating the influence of phase demodulation error. And a dynamic-sideband locking method based on a high-frequency electro-optic modulator is proposed, which can flexibly and quickly generate variable synthetic wavelengths from tens of kilometer to millimeter with high stability. Experimental setup was constructed and absolute distance measurements were performed. Experimental results show that a measurement range of 100 m with residual error of less than 15 µm has been achieved by comparing the LIWL system and an incremental laser interferometer.
