Vertical-cavity lasers with strained active regions show increased modulation rates and reliability at lower power dissipation. However, their longer wavelength (980–1100 nm) than the standard 850 nm has inhibited their widespread adoption. Given the huge emerging markets for high-speed, high-efficiency data links, should this inhibition be overcome?

We demonstrate white-light supercontinuum generation with a CW pump and a GeO2-doped core microstructured fiber. We numerically show that the GeO2-doping allows a significantly enhanced soliton self-frequency shift.

Continuous phase modulation (CPM) of optical links is advantageous for avoiding intensity dependent nonlinear phase noise. We present an architecture for all-digital coherent CPM reception covering M-ary full response formats, describing the functions of each module.

Radiation pressure is known to scale to large values in the context of micro and nano-scale photonic waveguide systems. However, little has been done to address electrostrictively induced forces, which also scale quadratically with electric field. In this paper, we perform detailed analysis of both radiation pressure and electrostricitve optical forces generated in high-index contrast optical waveguides. Through analysis of the material- and geometry-dependent design degrees of freedom associated with the electrostrictive and radiation pressure induced forces, we show that the magnitude and distribution of such forces can be tailored at the various boundaries of the waveguide system.

Active crystal fibers can generate CW and near-Gaussian-shape milliwatt-level broadband emissions at 560 nm, 770 nm, and 1380 nm with 3-dB bandwidths of 98, 210, and 240 nm, respectively. They are eminently suitable for ultrahighresolution optical coherence tomography.

Through use of the response theory of optical forces, we show that radiation pressure generated within step index waveguides can be computed exactly and simply from the waveguide dispersion. In the absence of electrostrictive effects, we show that optical forces are only manifest on the boundaries of a dielectric waveguide. As a consequence, the principle of virtual work can be used to express the total optical force (or mean radiation pressure) acting on the boundaries of the waveguide in terms of the modal effective index. Through use of this relationship, exact agreement is found between the optical forces computed using waveguide dispersion and with the Maxwell stress tensor.
