Observation of multimode solitons in few-mode fiber
Optics Letters, 2016 We experimentally isolate and directly observe multimode solitons in few-mode graded-index fiber. By varying the input energy and modal composition of the launched pulse, we observe a continuous variation of multimode solitons with different spatiotemporal properties. They exhibit an energy-volume relation that is distinct from those of single-mode and

Long-period fiber gratings inscribed in few-mode fibers for discriminative determination.
Optics Express, 2019 We successfully fabricated the long-period fiber gratings in few-mode fibers (FMF-LPFGs) with micro-tapered method, which are different from the traditional LPFGs that only couple the fundamental mode to different cladding modes to obtain multiple ...

Orbital chirality of light in few-mode step-index optical fibers
APL PhotonicsA physical system is considered chiral when it can be distinguished from its mirror image, regardless of the applied translation and rotation. An electromagnetic wave can be chiral through its two essential forms of angular momenta: spin and orbital ...

A single atom detector integrated on an atom chip: fabrication, characterization and application
, 2010 We describe a robust and reliable fluorescence detector for single atoms that is fully integrated into an atom chip. The detector allows spectrally and spatially selective detection of atoms, reaching a single atom detection efficiency of 66%.

Intermodal Four-Wave-Mixing and Parametric Amplification in km-long Fibers
, 2017 We theoretically and numerically investigate intermodal four-wave-mixing in km-long fibers, where random birefringence fluctuations are present along the fiber length. We identify several distinct regimes that depend on the relative magnitude between the
