Light–Matter Interactions

  • Spotlight Summary by Michael Frosz

    • Mid-infrared supercontinuum generation spanning 2.0 to 15.1  μm in a chalcogenide step-index fiber
    • There is a fierce, but unofficial, competition in the nonlinear fiber optics community to produce the widest optical spectrum with high spatial coherence, also called a supercontinuum. The record has now been broken, at...

    • Octave-spanning coherent supercontinuum generation in a silicon nitride waveguide
    • The supercontinuum reported in this work is not only spectrally coherent and spans more than one octave: it is also generated in a compact chip. The chip consists of a silicon nitride waveguide...

    • Transverse Anderson localization in a disordered glass optical fiber
    • As scientists we usually value order: it simplifies the study of physical systems and generally makes life easier. However, sometimes a certain degree of disorder makes a physical system, or life in general, more...

  • Spotlight Summary by Michael H. Frosz and Morten Bache

    • Phase-matching with a twist: Second-harmonic generation in birefringent periodically poled fibers
    • This year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the laser. One of the many immensely important scientific fields that exploded following the first working laser was that of nonlinear optics. The high intensities...

Optical Design and Instrumentation

  • Spotlight Summary by Michael Henoch Frosz

    • Operation of Brillouin dynamic grating in single-mode optical fibers
    • Fiber Bragg gratings are used widely as the basic components in both optical communication systems and strain sensors. In optical communications they can be used to filter specific wavelengths in a wavelength-division...

Optoelectronics

  • Spotlight Summary by Michael Frosz

    • Polymer-clad silica fibers for tailoring modal area and dispersion
    • Engineering advances are often made by simplifying previous designs, as they turn out to be unnecessarily complicated. In recent years, the development of optical fibers for high-power amplifiers has been going towards...

  • Spotlight Summary by Michael Henoch Frosz

    • Low loss silica hollow core fibers for 3–4 μm spectral region
    • To make an optical fiber with low loss in the mid-infrared (MIR) wavelength region, it is absolutely critical to make the fiber of a material which itself has low loss in the MIR, right? Actually, no. Sometimes the...

  • Spotlight Summary by Michael H. Frosz

    • Guiding properties of large mode area silicon microstructured fibers: a route to effective single mode operation
    • The huge technological progress of the information age rests fundamentally on only two materials: silicon (Si) and silica (SiO2). Silicon is the most used semiconductor for the microelectronic circuits that...
