We measured the two-photon absorption cross-section of Lucirin TPO-L and fabricated complex microstructures using it in acrylate resin. Using quantum chemistry calculations, we relate the nonlinear optical properties of the photoinitiator to its molecular structure.

A laser-accelerated beam of protons is used to isochorically heat a silicon foil to multi-eV temperatures. Proton dosimetry, self-emission, and synchronized reflective interferometry are used simultaneously to infer internal energy, temperature, and pressure.

We have made cross-shaped polarization-switching VCSELs for dual-channel optical communications. The polarization of the device is controlled by its asymmetry in geometry and current injection. High switching power ratio of over 20 between two polarization states has been achieved.

We show an enhanced effect of cross-phase modulation with a Raman amplifier configuration. High performance wavelength conversion of 10 Gb/s non-return-to-zero signal is demonstrated with cross-polarization-modulation and Raman enhancement.

We propose a new label recognition system for photonic packet routing using self-routing of labels. Whole binary-coded labels modulated in phase can be recognized with a circuit consisting of tree-structure passive asymmetric-waveguide X-junctions.

We have successfully determined the anharmonic decay time of coherent longitudinal-acoustic-phonons in GaN. The temperature dependent anharmonic decay behavior is found to agree well with the Herringpsilas theory even up to the sub-THz frequency regime.
