Specifically, by utilizing a centered quantum well active region the mode overlap with the quantum wells is increased by a factor of 1.5 over the offset quantum well case, where the quantum wells are positioned above the waveguide. In this way the modal gain is increased, improving the characteristics of the laser. In order to create a non-absorbing waveguide, QWI has been applied to the back and front mirror to blue shift the quantum well band edge.","PeriodicalId":18008,"journal":{"name":"LEOS 2001. 14th Annual Meeting of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society (Cat.

The technique employs wavelength interleaving in conjunction with OSSB+C modulation. A wavelength-interleaved optical add-drop multiplexer using fiber gratings and an optical circulator was realized to implement the technique, the feasibility of which was demonstrated via three interleaved WDM channels each transporting a 155 Mb/s BPSK signal at 36 GHz over a 20 km fiber link. Capacity analysis shows that the wavelength-interleaving technique increases the maximum number of channels by almost 75% after taking into account overall system performance and device limitation.","PeriodicalId":18008,"journal":{"name":"LEOS 2001. 14th Annual Meeting of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society (Cat.

It promises to have future impact on ultrafast physics, particularly extreme nonlinear optics and coherent control. The basic concepts for self-reference detection and stabilization of modelocked lasers are presented.

Fabrication of point defects or line defects in an alumina nanohole array is an attractive approach to achieve a functional photonic crystal-like photonic band-gap laser. Selective injection of nanoholes with functional polymer enables us to obtain such point defects.
