Dissipative solitons in pattern-forming nonlinear optical systems : cavity solitons and feedback solitons [PDF]
Many dissipative optical systems support patterns. Dissipative solitons are generally found where a pattern coexists with a stable unpatterned state. We consider such phenomena in driven optical cavities containing a nonlinear medium (cavity solitons ...

Investigation into the integration of a resonant tunnelling diode and an optical communications laser: model and experiment [PDF]
A resonant tunnelling diode has been monolithically integrated with an optical communications laser [the resonant tunnelling diode (RTD-LD)] to form a simple optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) that is a novel bistable device suitable for an optical

We observed a large optical bistability in a single-frequency thulium fiber laser with ring cavity configuration. A piece of unpumped Tm-doped fiber served as nonlinear saturable absorber (SA), which also acted as a narrow-bandpass filter by forming self-

Kerr nonlinear switching in silicon fibre-based microcylindrical resonators [PDF]
We investigate the Kerr nonlinearity in a a-Si:H microcylindrical resonator fabricated from the silicon fibre platform. The large resonant wavelength shift observed for pulsed excitation is used to demonstrate ultrafast all-optical ...

Broadband Backhaul Communication for Stratospheric Platforms: The Stratospheric Optical Payload Experiment (STROPEX) [PDF]
A high bitrate optical downlink was performed by the stratospheric optical payload experiment (STROPEX), a part of the EU CAPANINA project. The STROPEX objectives were to design and build the necessary hardware to demonstrate an optical backhaul downlink

Tunable Low-Threshold Optical Bistability in Optical Tamm Plasmon Superlattices
We propose a scheme to obtain tunable low-threshold optical bistability of reflected beams in optical Tamm plasmon superlattices (TPS). The low-threshold optical bistability is triggered due to the strong third-order non-linearity of graphene and the ...

Numerical Studies of Optical Bistability of Absorptive Type
Theoretical analysis is presented to search for the purely absorptive optical bistability in a Fabry-Perot cavity filled with a saturable absorber. A simple model of singlet absorption is used on numerically solving the relationships between the input ...

Optical High-Capacity Satellite Downlinks via High-Altitude Platform Relays [PDF]
Earth-observation (EO) satellite missions produce a large amount of data using high-resolution optical or radar sensors. During the last decades the amount of data has steadily increased due to improved sensor technologies with increased temporal ...
