Parabolic pulse generation with active or passive dispersion decreasing optical fibers [PDF]
We experimentally demonstrate the possibility to generate parabolic pulses via a single dispersion decreasing optical fiber with normal dispersion. We numerically and experimentally investigate the influence of the dispersion profile, and we show that

Generation of a Conjoint Surface Plasmon by an Infrared Nano‐Antenna Array
Localized surface plasmons (LSP) excited by optical fields have many potential applications resulting from their ability in detecting ultra‐small, ambient refractive index change. Current methods using surface nano‐patterning by means of lithography have

Carrier-envelope offset frequency measurement by means of an external optical resonator
A general-purpose method based on the implementation of the asymmetric Pound–Drever–Hall (PDH) technique is proposed to measure the carrier-envelope offset (CEO) frequency of a mode-locked laser using an external optical cavity.

Demonstration of Feed-Forward Control for Linear Optics Quantum Computation [PDF]
One of the main requirements in linear optics quantum computing is the ability to perform single-qubit operations that are controlled by classical information fed forward from the output of single photon detectors.

Forward-stimulated Brillouin scattering in silicon-core fibers
As a new type of semiconductor fiber, silicon-core fibers have a higher non-linear effect compared with silica fibers. Forward-stimulated Brillouin scattering as a typical optical non-linear effect holds strong promise for applications in, for example ...
