AbstractNonlinear bleaching and induced absorption effects in CuS microcrystals with modified (after oxidation) surface have been studied. Relaxation times of these processes demonstrate two components - fast (˜ 80 ps) and slow (>>500 ps). Energy level scheme for explanation of these phenomena was proposed. Appearance of bleaching effect in CuS microcrystals due to surface oxidation makes them as perspective materials for saturable absorbers for pico- and femtosecond lasers.

A study of the effects of relaxation times on the Four-Wave Mixing (FWM) signal response in frequency space for a two-level system is presented where the collisional effects of the solvent and the presence of the electromagnetic field are considered. The model is a generalization of the conventional two-level approach in that it includes a simplified description of the molecular structure associated with the non-zero permanent dipole moments. Significant changes in both the FWM-intensity and nonlinear optical properties are observed, due mainly to changes in the ratio between the longitudinal and transversal relaxation times.

AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess remarkable nonlinear optical properties; a particular application is to function as a mode locker used in ultrafast fiber lasers to produce ultrashort optical pulses. Various types of CNT saturable absorbers (SAs) and ultrafast fiber lasers have been demonstrated. In this review, typical fabrication process and development of CNT SAs are discussed and we highlight the recent investigation and progress of state-of-the-art ultrafast fiber lasers covering GHz, bidirectional ultrafast fiber lasers, vectorial mode fiber lasers, comb systems, and mode-locking dynamics. Our perspectives of ultrafast fiber lasers based on CNT SAs are given finally.

AbstractThe linear and nonlinear optical properties of Ge-implanted fused-silica were examined and compared with Au- and Si-implanted samples. Samples as-implanted with 1.0 MeV Ge ions to a fluence of 3x1017 Ge.cm-2 exhibited relatively large non-linearities, |n2| ≤5x10-12 cm2/W, and fast relaxation times, ∼lps. In contrast, samples implanted with comparable fluences of Au ions exhibited smaller non-linearities, |n2| ∼1x10-13 cm2/W, and slower response times, ≥ 10ps. The non-linearity for Ge was much larger than that for samples as-implanted with Si.
