The work focuses on periodically poled lithium niobate crystals grown by the off-center Czochralski technique and exhibiting an appreciable second harmonic generation efficiency. Several samples have been characterized through experimental measurements of domains periods in order to find out the real period values and drifts of the border domains positions. By means of the nonlinear bidirectional beam propagation method (NL Bi-BPM), the governing equations describing the interaction between the wave at fundamental frequency and the wave at second harmonic have been integrated and the theoretical SHG efficiency was numerically determined. In order to take into account the border domain effects, the normalized efficiency was used to rescale the calculated value furnishing the real SHG efficiency. As an interesting result an efficiency of 0.5% in forward QPM SHG has been predicted for a reference structure of 0.5 mm length.

By removing the cladding on the outside of a bent single mode optical fibre and exposing a surface at a radius smaller than that of the radiation caustic, the leaky nature of the propagating mode is suppressed and bend loss is eliminated. In this paper the practical realisation of this effect is described, and a bend radius of 0.50 mm on standard telecommunications fibre is demonstrated with negligible loss.

We have proposed an optical pulse synthesizer, which consists of optical modulators and an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG). This system can generate arbitrary waveform pulses in combination with broadband optical frequency comb. We achieved generation of the Gaussian pulse with a width of 5.1 ps, double-Gaussian pulse and rectangular-shaped pulse as arbitrary waveform pulse synthesis, at a high repetition rate of 10 GHz.

In this paper, we present a novel approach to increase the multiplexing capability of a multipoint fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor network. Our approach is based on the possibility of exploiting the chirped-pulsed frequency modulation technique (C-PFM) to the optical pulses used to read a FBG sensor network. This technique, extensively used in radar applications, in the case of optical sensors is based on the amplitude modulation of the emitted signal (pulsed) by a chirped frequency signal and on the demodulation of the reflected signal by means of adaptive filter. The main parameters for a multiplexing systems are the minimum distance between two adjacent sensors and the cross-talk achievable. We show that the use of a well designed time shaping windowing of the transmitted pulse can improve both such parameters.

In this paper, in order to generate radiation at 1.54 micron, an approach based on Raman scattering in porous silicon is presented. Experimental results, proving spontaneous Raman emission at 1.5 micron and tuning of the Stokes shift, are reported. Finally, we discuss about the possibility to enhance the Raman gain coefficient and to eliminate two photon absorption in porous silicon.

We present the design, fabrication and applications of integrated hollow core antiresonant reflecting optical waveguides (ARROWs). Differently from conventional waveguides, in ARROW waveguides the field is not confined in the core region by total internal reflection but by dielectric cladding layers designed to form high reflectivity Fabry-Perot mirrors. This peculiar structure offers some unique properties that make it very attractive for photonics integrated circuits. In particular in these waveguides the core has a refractive index lower than the one of the cladding layers, permitting the realization of hollow waveguides without metal walls. These waveguides can be successfully used in several application fields, ranging from telecommunications to sensors. Here, we report the realization of an integrated optical refractometer based on a simple hollow ARROW waveguide.

The characteristics of ring resonator based optical mirrors are numerically evaluated. The mirrors are optimized to provide high reflection in the passband. A design procedure is outlined that relates the required coupling to the bandwidth and reflection coefficient. The effect of waveguide loss on the transmission and reflection performance is computed. Emphasis is placed on group delay and dispersion in lossy devices.

In this work the behaviour of a fiber Bragg grating (FBGs) phase response subjected to longitudinal ultrasonic (US) field has been investigated. Numerical results reveal high sensitivity of the FBG phase response and thus of the time delay to US waves in the high frequency and low amplitude regime. The potentialities to extend the sensing capability of FBG sensors as high frequency ultrasonic detectors are discussed with regard to new interrogation strategies based on time delay measurements.
