The refractive indices are determined experimentally by photoreflectance spectroscopy and prism-coupler method as a function of their composition. The refractive index of thin film zinc selenide alloys, determined from the measured effective indices of guided modes excited by a prism coupler, is shown to be reproducible and close to values measured for bulk material.","PeriodicalId":314041,"journal":{"name":"2000 2nd International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks.

This method provides excellent switching stability over long term period when applied to a wavelength converter.","PeriodicalId":314041,"journal":{"name":"2000 2nd International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks.

Common methods to generate sub-picosecond, single-cycle electromagnetic pulses evoke great interest and there is an excitation of a biased semiconductor or an electro-optic crystal with a femtosecond light pulse among them. It needs a detailed investigation of the propagation properties of ultrashort pulse beams scattered by interfaces with time-varying properties. In this paper we obtain integral operators that describe in time domain in the 3-D case an interaction of complex electromagnetic signals with the flat interface between dielectric media when the medium in one of the two halfspaces changes its permittivity and acquires a conductivity.","PeriodicalId":314041,"journal":{"name":"2000 2nd International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks.
