We present a compact Tm-doped fiber laser (TDFL) to generate pulse bursts at 1.92 μm based on phase and intensity modulations. A phase modulator (PM) and an intensity modulator (IM) were included in the linear TDFL cavity to perform the simultaneous activ
We experimentally investigate the effects of the surface roughness of gold thin films on the properties of surface plasmon resonance. By annealing at different temperatures, film samples with different surface morphologies are obtained. Specifically, due
A compact bi-directional (BiDi) triplexer using grating-assisted multimode interference (MMI) coupler is proposed based on silicon nanowire waveguides.Because of the high index contrast between silicon and silicon dioxide, the size of the structure is gre
Laser interaction with an ultra-thin pre-structured target is investigated with the help of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. With the existence of a periodic structure on the target surface, the laser seems to penet
