{"title":"Nonlinear reflection of TM polarized plane waves and beams by a magneto-optic interface","authors":"A. Boardman, Xie Kang","doi":"10.1364/ipr.1990.wc6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1364/ipr.1990.wc6","url":null,"abstract":"The reflectivity of the TM wave from magneto-optic nonlinear interfaces between magnetized films of media like nickel, iron, or YIG bounded by a nonmagnetic, nonlinear substrate or cladding, or mixed with nonmagnetic, nonlinear films is calculated for the widely used1,2ATR configuration. The results mainly concern prism coupling but with the much less studied third-order nonlinear TM polarization3 being used. Progress toward extending the theory to include gratings is also discussed, however. Traditionally, magnetic-field orientations include transverse, polar, and longitudinal orientations, and these are the principal ones analyzed here. Longitudinal orientations involve some complex and novel nonlinear calculations because in such a case, even in the linear limit, TM and TE polarizations cannot be decoupled so that a linear Kerr rotation of the plane of polarization occurs. Questions concerning the optimum signal-to-noise ratio are addressed in order to try and arrange the highest value to coincide with the resonant angle positions. In this connection detailed comments on the trade-off between nonlinear and magneto-optic effects are given. Nonlinear ATR curves, the power flow along the surface, the first-order magneto-optical parameter, and the magnetic-field-induced rotation of the plane of polarization are all calculated for both plane waves and for finite beams with nonlocal nonlinearity. Again, because the latter is a difficult calculation to perform, the method alone is of great interest. The simpler transverse case can be cited as an example here. The ATR curves, as might be expected, break into branches at critical power levels, but this now feeds through into the relative change of the reflected intensity of light owing to the magnetization of the film. Any sharp decrease in this first-order magneto-optic quantity is now delayed by the nonlinearity, and a critical light intensity causes two or more branches to appear. For this same case we show that the forward field reflectivity actually switches to a second branch a little earlier than for the reverse field direction; hence, the resonance angles are not matched. Finally, comments on the exploitation of nonlinear magneto-optic effects in thin-film guided-wave geometries are included.","PeriodicalId":175010,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Photonics Research","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132774888","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}

The small diameters for single mode fibers gives high thermal gradients that readily dissipate any heating so as to allow CW operating for outputs as high as several watts. The greatest attenuation has been given to erbium in silica operating at 1.53-1.55 μm as an optical amplifier for communications. It gives gains approaching 40 dB, gain coefficients greater titan 5 dB/mW for pumping at 0.98 or 1.47 nm, and saturation outputs of 18 dBm in fibers that are readily compatible with commercial fibers. In a double clad silica fiber, Nd at 1.06 μm can give an efficiency greater than 50% when pumped with a high output multiple stripe laser diode. In silica, laser emission has also been obtained from Pr, Sm, Ho, Tm and Yb. The lower energy phonon spectra of heavy metal fluorides has allowed for significant population in energy levels that are quenched in silicates, thereby giving additional laser transitions. Particularly striking in this regard are Ho and Tm which lase at shorter wave lengths than the pump by up-conversion through stepwise absorption of successive pump photons. Tm can lase at 455 and 480 nm when pumped with 640-690 nm radiation. Energy transfer between ions has been used for fluorescence sensitization, terminal state depletion and up-conversion. The configurations for laser oscillators, amplifiers, and super-luminescent sources will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":175010,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Photonics Research","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116960962","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}

Of particular interest in future broadband communication systems is the integration of long-wavelength (1.3–1.6 μm) optoelectronic devices with high-speed electronic circuits. Recent advances in heteroepitaxial growth of lattice-mismatched materials has made it possible to grow epitaxial InGaAs on GaAs substrates. This technology offers the possibility for fabrication of InGaAs interdigitated metal–semiconductor–metal (IMSM) photodetectors, operating at a wavelength of 1.3 μm, on GaAs substrates.1 Compared with lattice-matched growth on InP, growth on GaAs offers the potential for exploiting the mature GaAs electronics technology in the development of monolithic receiver OEICs. IMSM photodetectors have a planar geometry that simplifies integration with GaAs MESFETs. Monolithic integration, however, requires that the epitaxial InGaAs be able to withstand MESFET processing such as high-temperature anneals used to activate ion-implanted layers.","PeriodicalId":175010,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Photonics Research","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121290375","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}
