Weak interactions of temporal cavity solitons resulting from gain saturation and recovery in a delay differential model of a long cavity semiconductor laser were studied numerically and analytically using an asymptotic approach. This paper shows that in addition to the usual soliton repulsion leading to a harmonic mode-locking regime, soliton attraction is also possible in a laser with a nonzero linewidth enhancement factor. It is shown numerically that this attraction can lead either to pulse merging or to pulse bound-state formation.

One-dimensional photonic crystals have been used in sensing applications for decades, due to their ability to induce highly reflective photonic bandgaps. In this study, one-dimensional photonic crystals with alternating low- and high-density layers were fabricated from a single photosensitive polymer (IP-Dip) by two-photon polymerization. The photonic crystals were modified to include a central defect layer with different elastic properties compared to the surrounding layers, for the first time. It was observed that the defect mode resonance can be controlled by compressive force. Very good agreement was found between the experimentally measured spectra and the model data. The mechanical properties of the flexure design used in the defect layer were calculated. The calculated spring constant is of similar magnitude to those reported for microsprings fabricated on this scale using two-photon polymerization. The results of this study demonstrate the successful control of a defect resonance in one-dimensional photonic crystals fabricated by two-photon polymerization by mechanical stimuli, for the first time. Such a structure could have applications in fields, such as micro-robotics, and in micro-opto–electro–mechanical systems (MOEMSs), where optical sensing of mechanical fluctuations is desired.

Data augmentation using generative adversarial networks (GANs) is vital in the creation of new instances that include imaging modality tasks for improved deep learning classification. In this study, conditional generative adversarial networks (cGANs) were used on a dataset of OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)-acquired images of coronary atrial plaques for synthetic data creation for the first time, and further validated using deep learning architecture. A new OCT images dataset of 51 patients marked by three professionals was created and programmed. We used cGANs to synthetically populate the coronary aerial plaques dataset by factors of 5×, 10×, 50× and 100× from a limited original dataset to enhance its volume and diversification. The loss functions for the generator and the discriminator were set up to generate perfect aliases. The augmented OCT dataset was then used in the training phase of the leading AlexNet architecture. We used cGANs to create synthetic images and envisaged the impact of the ratio of real data to synthetic data on classification accuracy. We illustrated through experiments that augmenting real images with synthetic images by a factor of 50× during training helped improve the test accuracy of the classification architecture for label prediction by 15.8%. Further, we performed training time assessments against a number of iterations to identify optimum time efficiency. Automated plaques detection was found to be in conformity with clinical results using our proposed class conditioning GAN architecture.

Measurements of the cathodoluminescence (CL) and the degree of polarization (DOP) of (CL) from the facet of a GaAs substrate and in the vicinity of a SiN stripe are reported and analyzed. The deformation induced by the SiN stripe is estimated by fitting the measured DOP to 3D finite element method (FEM) simulations. The deformation is found to be more complex than an initial condition of biaxial stress in the SiN. A ratio of fit coefficients suggests that the dependence of DOP on strain is described by equations presented in Appl. Opt. 59, 5506–5520 (2020). These equations give a DOP that is either proportional to a weighted difference of the principal components of strain in the measurement plane, or proportional to the shear strain in the measurement plane, depending on the chosen orientation of the measurement axes.

An electromagnetic (EM) wave is a form of continuous energy, of which both the frequency and the amplitude are parts, as shown in a recent report. All the facts relating to the photoelectric effect are explained by the new modified EM wave concept. Since the photon concept is not able to explain the intensity effect and the ejection direction clearly, it cannot be used to explain nonlinear optical phenomena clearly. The current understanding of the interaction process between orbital electrons and light may not be realistic. In this work, the electron transition process is explained with the new modified EM wave concept. The orbital electrons of a material rotate circularly by the sinusoidal fields of the EM waves. In this way, the electrons absorb light energy as rotational kinetic energy. During the first rotational cycle, the electrons with large enough radii face different potential barriers in neighboring orbits. Consequently, the electrons’ speed is obstructed, and the electrons move behind their natural places (phase); in other words, the electrons cannot follow the required phase of EM waves. Thus, sufficient energetic electrons are scattered from their orbit. The high-intensity EM waves reach the inner orbits of the targeted atom and transit electrons from different orbits. The light can regenerate through processes with different frequencies. The frequency of the regenerated light can be higher than that of primary light, depending on the energy (frequency and amplitude) of the primary light. The results of previous reports match the prediction of the new concept of EM waves. The new wave concept may be able to explain all photonic behaviors of light clearly.

The generation of high-order harmonics in solid crystals has received considerable attention recently. Using a driver laser with 0.8 µm wavelength and 28 fs ultrashort pulses, we present experimental results, accompanied with theoretical considerations, suggesting that the actual sources of the harmonics are nanometer-sized localized and transient electronic states on the surface of the materials when the laser intensity is in the non-perturbative regime. Adaptation of the bond model of the harmonic generation into the non-perturbative regime and including the quantum features of the process provide a localized excitation approach that correctly describes the measured polarization dependence of the harmonic signal, reflecting the microscopic surface structure and symmetries of the examined materials.

In the design of photonic integrated circuits (PICs), the optical connections of the PIC surface, along with the electronic components of the chips, are significant issues. One of the optoelectronics components that utilizes these surface connections are electro-reflective modulators, consisting of an optical section and an electronic section. In this paper, a novel scheme of two-dimensional photonic crystals (PhCs) is presented for the optical and reflective sections of this device. This design is two-dimensional; thus, it has less volume than the current bulky structures. The finite element method is utilized to simulate and optimize the scheme of PhCs and gold layer parameters. Furthermore, optimization of design parameters is accomplished through the Nelder–Mead method. Moreover, the modeling and simulation of the proposed hybrid PhCs has been investigated according to the structural parameters with tolerance. These tolerances, related to the nanorods’ radius and lattice constants, are considered to justify and vindicate the fabrication technology limitations and conditions. In the “on” state of the modulator, the light transmission ratio is 98% for a 903 nm wavelength with a 45° angle of deflection and incident light, nd the bandwidth is 20 nm. For an 897 nm wavelength with a 41° angle, the transmission ratio is 95%, and the bandwidth is 7 nm.

In this study, a scatterometry-based monitoring system designed for tracking the quality and reproducibility of laser-textured surfaces in industrial environments was validated in off-line and real-time modes. To this end, a stainless steel plate was structured by direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) following a set of conditions with artificial patterning errors. Namely, fluctuations of the DLIP process parameters such as laser fluence, spatial period, and focus position are introduced, and also, two patterning strategies are implemented, whereby pulses are deliberately not fired at both deterministic and random positions. The detection limits of the system were determined by recording the intensities of the zero, first, and second diffraction order using a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. As supported by topographical measurements, the system can accurately calculate spatial periods with a resolution of at least 100 nm. In addition, focus shifts of 70 µm from the optimum focus position can be detected, and missing patterned lines with a minimum width of 28 µm can be identified. The validation of this compact characterization unit represents a step forward for its implementation as an in-line monitoring tool for industrial laser-based micropatterning.

The thermal blooming effect, platform jitter, and other effects of laser beam propagation cause serious deviation, which will have a negative impact on laser tracking systems. It is important to ensure that the laser beam does not deviate. Based on a fast steering mirror, a CMOS camera, and a Flex RIO system, a laser beam jitter control system is designed and implemented. The error is detected by camera and compensated for by the fast steering mirror (FSM), which is controlled by the Flex RIO device. By using LabVIEW and MATLAB, a closed loop model is realized. The results show that the system response is highly stabilized and has a short rise time, providing a reference for engineering applications.

Among all the reported applications, optical waveguides have been widely exploited to measure the physical and chemical variations in the surrounding environment. Optical fiber-based temperature sensors have played a crucial role in this decade to detect high fever and tackle COVID-19-like pandemics. Recognizing the major developments in the field of optical fibers, this article provides recent progress in temperature sensors utilizing several sensing configurations including conventional fiber, photonic crystal fiber, and Bragg grating fibers.
