Power Dependent Noise Performance of fs Supercontinuum Generation in Normal Dispersion Fibers with a Long Zero-dispersionWavelength

We demonstrate how the noise of normal-dispersion fs-pumped supercontinuum generation varies with power in fibers with a zero-dispersion. When power crosses into the anomalous dispersion region localized noisy dispersive waves move through the low-noise spectrum.

Резонатор лазера с интерференционно-поляризационным фильтром на основе фазовых интерферометров

It is proposed to use the phase properties of a reflective interferometer upon oblique incidence for spectral selection in lasers. The effect is achieved due to the difference in phases of waves having different polarization and reflected from the reflective interferometer. A simple version in which the wave is incident at the Brewster angle on the reflective interferometer in the form of a plate with a single totally reflecting face is considered for several materials of the plate. It is shown that one such element can replace several plates of Lyot-type filters. A cavity with two reflective interferometers has been calculated; in this cavity, one can multiply increase the selectivity. A version of a cavity with a reflective interferometer in the form of a thin-layer coating is considered; for this cavity, a mechanism for a twofold increase in the free dispersion region due to inclusion of a metal layer into the coating is proposed. Results of calculating a specific device for a wavelength of 0.6 μm are presented.

Влияние эффектов самовоздействия на распространение импульсов поверхностных магнитостатических волн в структуре магнонный кристалл--диэлектрик--металл

The influence of self-action effects on the magnetostatic surface waves (MSSW) pulses propagating in the structure of a one-dimensional magnonic crystal - dielectric - metal, where the choice of dielectric thickness forms an anomalous dispersion region that provides the fulfillment of Lighthill criterion on MSSW solitons formation, is studied. It is shown that in those cases when the portion of anomalous dispersion caused by metallization coincides with the frequency range of Bragg resonance, MSSW solitons are not formed.
