Noncollinear optical parametric amplification (NOPA) is recently attracting a great deal of attention as a novel method of ultrashort pulse generation. The noncollinear geometry can realize the group-velocity-matching between the signal and idler, which is equivalent to an achromatic phase-matching with the spectral angular dispersion of the idler, and the broadest gain bandwidth is attained. In the paper we present a novel NOPA which has led to the first tunable sub-l0 fs light source. Both concepts of a pulse-front matching (PFM) and idler angular-dispersion compensation are essential to obtain transform-limited (TL) pulses from a NOPA, and sub-9 fs pulses are generated both in the wide ranges of the visible and near-IR (NIR). Extension of this technology to a full-bandwidth operation realizes as short as a 4.7-fs pulse generation, which is the first sub-5 fs light source by other methods than the traditional continuum-compression scheme. The PFM-NOPA is superior in many aspects such as tunability, pulse energy, flexible pulse width and bandwidth, which is believed to be the most useful light source for ultrafast spectroscopy.

The lidar atmospheric sensing experiment (LASE) system was developed at the NASA Langley Research Center to measure atmospheric water vapor, aerosols, and clouds from aircraft. Examples of LASE measurements during field experiments and their application to atmospheric science investigations are presented in this paper. LASE is a compact and highly engineered DIAL system that has demonstrated autonomous operation from a high-altitude aircraft as a precursor to a space-borne DIAL system. The laser system consists of a double-pulsed Ti:sapphire laser that operates in the 815-nm absorption band of water vapor and is pumped by a frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser.

Attractive experimental investigations are currently reported on laser action from optically pumped bulk solution and liquid microdroplets of high-gain dye containing strongly scattering nanoparticles. The mechanism is considered due to multiple light scattering in a strongly scattering and diffusive medium that can trap pump photons as well as emitted photons to provide dispersive random feedback in a small spatial region to exceed the gain over loss for lasing action. Based on the experiment of Lawandy's group, lasing studies of dye-infused animal tissues were performed, because biological tissues have intrinsically scattering, i.e., heterogeneous and continuously disordered properties. However, they merely observed spectral narrowing by scattering-enhanced amplification of spontaneous emission. The paper reports what is to our best knowledge the first experimental result of plant lasers using rice and barley. We could observe the lasing threshold together with spectral narrowing in their outputs.

Transmission capacity for optical undersea cable systems is growing rapidly. The capacity in TPC3, the first optical fiber cable in Pacific Ocean installed in 1989, was 280Mbit/s per fiber pair. The emergence of Erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) paved the way for drastic increase in capacity for undersea optical cables, and large capacity optical amplifier undersea cable systems with 5Gbit/s per fiber pair, such as TPC-SCN and APCN, were constructed in Asia-Pacific region in 1995-1996. Recent 10Gbit/s-based WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technologies together with new fiber and new amplifier technologies enable us to further increase in capacity up to 160Gbit/s. In this paper, the key technologies for next generation undersea cable systems with 160Gbit/s capacity are reviewed and future prospect towards Tera-bit/s systems is discussed.

Carbon nitride (C/sub x/N/sub y/) thin films are grown at room temperature on Si [100] substrates by reactive cathodic sputtering assisted by pulsed laser ablation of a pure graphite target with/without magnetic field assistance. The magnetic field results in an increase of crystallite size in the films due to bombardment of the Si substrates by energetic carbon and nitrogen species generated during cyclomagnetron motion of electrons in the discharge zone. An increase in nitrogen content is accompanied by a decrease in the content of sp/sup 3/-bonded carbon characteristic of the /spl beta/-C/sub 3/N/sub 4/ structure.

Single crystal fibers have become the subject of intense study in recent years because of their remarkable characteristics. We have developed a superior growth technique, the micro pulling-down (/spl mu/-PD) method. This method enables us to fabricate new, excellent fibers of oxides, semiconductors and ceramic matrix composites, with high melting temperature and/or incongruent melting composition. Fiber crystals having a small diameter in the range /spl mu/m-mm, grown by the /spl mu/-PD method, exhibit the characteristic features for a wide field of advanced applications. The development of new laser and nonlinear optical crystals also has become a focus of considerable interest because of the progress of optoelectronic technologies. Fiber-form single crystalline materials are of particular interest because of their unique characteristics such as compact size, higher doping concentration, and in some cases novel properties due to their hybrid structure. The /spl mu/-PD method has an important role in this field, and gives us new, excellent optical fiber crystals. The configuration and advantages of the /spl mu/-PD method, and the fabrication of new fiber crystals for optical applications, are described.

An SOA optical gate array needs to operate at a low carrier density to have a low gain in a fiber-to-fiber lossless operation. It also needs low energy consumption. Thus, an SOA gate array has a different structural design from an SOA optical amplifier. Our group has developed a 4-ch spot-size converter-integrated SOA gate array and its integration with a planar-lightwave-circuit platform. We discuss the inherent problems in array development and how they were overcome.

The DeltaConcept is an actively stabilized unidirectional cavity design with a minimum number of optical components-two mirrors and one prism. The symmetrical Brewster-angled beam path through the prism guarantees minimum losses and hence maximum power enhancement and efficiency. The first cw UV laser at 266 nm is accomplished by frequency doubling the 532 nm output of a diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser with the actively stabilized unidirectional ring cavity based on the DeltaConcept. The excellent performance of this 266 nm laser like UV power stability and high beam pointing stability results mainly from the unique features of the DeltaConcept. Also the compact and rugged design of the whole 266 nm laser by hermetic double-sealing of both the DPSSL pump source and the quadrupling stage results in an additional protection of the BBO crystal against environmental influences and reduces the effort in alignment of the whole system. This stable continuous wave UV laser will find versatile applications in both industrial and scientific fields including disc-mastering, wafer inspection, UV photolithography, micromachining, holography as well as absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Mode-locked Cr:LiSAF lasers are attractive femtosecond (fs)-pulse sources which can directly be pumped by compact diode lasers. Although 14.8-fs pulses were generated using Kr-ion laser as a pumping source, the pulse durations from all-solid-state Cr:LiSAF lasers have been no shorter than 18 fs. In the report we analyze intracavity dispersions of the all-solid-state femtosecond Cr:LiSAF laser which produces 12-fs pulses, This is to our knowledge the shortest pulses ever produced from a mode-locked Cr:LiSAF laser.
