On the other hand, third harmonic generation (THG) has been demonstrated to be a versatile tool to realize high speed optical performance monitoring of in-band OSNR and residual dispersion. The mid-IR light sources based third-order frequency conversion opens an entirely new realm of nonlinear interactions. Nevertheless, rare experimental or analytical THG modeling has been published. In this work, we theoretically investigate the possible efficient phase-matched THG in a double symmetric plasmonic slot waveguide (DAPSW) based on a mid-IR light source. Nonlinear organic material DDMEBT with thirdorder susceptibility of χ(3) = 1×10-19 m2/V2 is integrated into the top metallic slot region as the main slot core medium. Silicon (Si) is used to fill the bottom metallic slot region. Silver (Ag) is considered to be the metal medium due to its low Ohmic loss. The needed phase-matching condition (PMC) is satisfied between the zeroth mode at fundamental frequency (FF) and the first mode at third harmonic (TH) by appropriate designing the waveguide geometrical parameters. The associated parameters such as the width and height of the slot, pump-harmonic modal overlap, figureof- merit (FOM), pump power and detuning have been numerically investigated in detail. Finally, the conversion efficiency comes up to 1.69×10-5 with pump power of 1 W and the corresponding waveguide length is 10.8 μm.","PeriodicalId":164339,"journal":{"name":"Photonics Asia","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121732951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we investigated the effect of Zinc diffusion on extinction ratio of electroabsorption modulator (EAM) integrated with distributed feedback laser (DFB). EML was fabricated by selective area growth (SAG) technology. The MQW structure of different quantum energy levels was grown on n-type InP buffer layer with 150nm thick SiO2 parallel stripes mask by selective area metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). A 35nm photoluminescence wavelength variation was observed between the laser area (λPL=1535nm) and modulator area (λPL=1500nm) by adjusting the dimension of parallel stripes. The grating (λ=1550nm) was fabricated in the selective area. The device was mesa ridge structure, which was constituted of the DFB laser, isolation gap and modulator. The length of every part is 300μm, 50μm, and 150μm respectively. Two samples were fabricated with the same structure and different p-type Zn-doped concentration, the extinction ratio of heavy Zn-doped device is 12.5dB at -6V. In contrast, the extinction ratio of light Zn-doped device is 20dB at -6V, that was improved for approximate 60%. The different Zn diffusion depth into the MQW absorption layer was observed by Secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS). The heavy Zn-doped device diffused into absorption layer deeper than the light Zn-doped device, which caused the large non-uniformity of the electric field in the MQW layer. So the extinction ratio characteristics can be improved by optimizing the Zn-doped concentration of p-type layer.","PeriodicalId":164339,"journal":{"name":"Photonics Asia","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114904996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a series of polyethylene glycol- (PEG-), carboxylate anionic group- or pyridyl cationic groupfunctionalized benzylidene cyclopentanone photo-initiators (B2, B3, X2, X3, Y1 and P1) were synthesized. Their water-solubility, photophysical properties and cytotoxicity were investigated. Using eosin as reference, their initiation efficiencies in water-soluble photoactive formulation (SR610 with 20% of DI water) excited by one- or two-photon were studied. The results showed that there were no significant differences on partial linear photophysical properties of these initiators, such as [see manuscript] and [see manuscript], but differences on their (see manuscript), Φ, and σmax are clear. In addition, their cytotoxicity is different. Two PEG-functionalized initiators (B3 and X3) with two PEG groups on one side of benzylidene cyclopentanone cores have obvious toxicity, while other four intiators are safety to HepG2 cells at the concentration of 20 μM. Moreover, the water-solubility of X2 and X3 (containing two longer PEG) were much better than those of other four initiators. Using these initiators, 3D micro-structures fabricated by two-photon polymerization of water-soluble acrylate all could be achieved. In addition, their threshold energies were all lower than 0.5 mW. However, the stiffness of 3D micro-structures was affected by the water-solubility of these photo-initiators. Those structures built by formulations containing X2 and X3 would collapse easily. Conversely, other structures could sustain very well. This work proves that B2,Y1,and P1 have extensive application prospects in 3D fabrication for tissue engineering.","PeriodicalId":164339,"journal":{"name":"Photonics Asia","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116834120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For OCT scanning, we use magnetic field generated by a larger magnet externally to drive the rotation of the magnetized metal. Compare with other probes, our probe design has two distinct advantages: 1) The exit beam will be unobstructed during 360 degree circumference scanning because there are no connecting wires in the scanning part. 2) In principle, the probe can be made very tiny because of the simple structure consisting only the single-mode fiber, GRIN lens, reflection mirror and the magnetized metal piece.

This method has the strong robustness for mechanical vibrations. So, the spectrometer (size: 50*50mm, weight: 200g) can be produced without anti-vibration mechanism. Moreover, the phase shifter is a core part of the spectrometer, and it is constructed by the low-price bimorph type actuator which is depending on the vibration control of the piezoceramic in proposed method. It is appropriate as the actuator of the phase shifter from the evaluation results of the actuator straightness and position accuracy in the midinfrared region. As we know, the Fourier spectroscopy has a high light utilization efficiency. Therefore, the low price microbolometer can be used as the imaging sensor. So, the low-price (10,000 U.S. dollars), compact and high portability spectrometer can be produced. Furthermore, the much higher position accuracy in the short wavelength region is requested as we know, the phase shift correction method has been proposed. In this paper, high performance evaluations of the portable spectroscopy apparatus have been discussed by using the CO2 laser spectroscopy results in the midinfrared region. Then, the phase shift correction method was explained.
