    摘要: A maser assembly includes a pump light source; a maser material including molecules that are excited through the absorption of light (1) from the pump light source, and which subsequently transfer via intersystem crossing (9) into the sublevels of their triplet ground states, so causing a population inversion between two sublevels (16,18); an electromagnetic structure in which the masing material is disposed, and which supports a microwave mode that is both resonant in frequency with and magnetically coupled to the transition between these two sublevels; and where energy is supplied to the microwave mode through stimulated emission (25) across the transition at such a rate as to exceed the mode's electromagnetic losses, the microwave mode being a maser mode. The assembly includes provisions for effecting substantially continuous maser activity during operation of the assembly. The laser crystal may be a (perdeuterated) pentacene in p-terphenyl which is held at room temperature without an additional magnetic field and the dye molecules in the single crystal may be pumped by blue LED with a frequency conversion to the yellow and green with the help of a Ce:YAG fluorescent pump light concentrator.

    摘要: A high efficiency electro-optic dendrimer based technology for nanophotonic integrated circuit devices is presented. In particular, a high power terahertz (THz) source is implemented using an electro-optic dendrimer via electro-optic rectification. Electro-optic rectification provides inherent power scalability, because, pump-THz conversion is not limited either by emission saturation or by heat dissipation. Low dielectric loss and high electro-optic coefficient of dendrimer along with a waveguide structure provides higher output power and tunable THz power generation. A dendrimer fiber array is also disclosed by means of which the input/output signals are connected to multiple components and devices.

    摘要: A third-order distributed feedback laser has an active medium disposed on a substrate as a linear array of segments having a series of periodically spaced interstices therebetween and a first conductive layer disposed on a surface of the active medium on each of the segments and along a strip from each of the segments to a conductive electrical contact pad for application of current along a path including the active medium. Upon application of a current through the active medium, the active medium functions as an optical waveguide, and there is established an alternating electric field, at a THz frequency, both in the active medium and emerging from the interstices. Spacing of adjacent segments is approximately half of a wavelength of the THz frequency in free space or an odd integral multiple thereof, so that the linear array has a coherence length greater than the length of the linear array.

    摘要: A system (100) for generating a millimeter wave signals from heterodyning wavelengths from a multi-wavelength signal generated by a Brillouin-Erbium fiber laser (101). The Brillouin-Erbium fiber laser (101) includes a source laser (105) that transmits a seed signal. An optical directional coupler (110) has a first input that receives the seed signal from the source laser and a first output. An Erbium doped fiber amplifier (115) has an input connected to the first output of the optical directional coupler and an output. The Erbium doped fiber amplifier amplifies the seed signal. A four port circulator (120) has a first port that receives the seed signal from the Erbium doped fiber amplifier. A Brillouin gain medium (135) is connected to a second port and a third port of the circulator. The seed signal propagates through the Brillouin gain medium in a first direction and a first order Stokes signal propagates through the Brillouin gain medium in a second direction to generate a second order Stokes signal propagating in the first direction. A fourth port of the circulator is connected to a second input of the optical directional coupler. The optical directional coupler receives the signal from the fourth port of the circulator and outputs a portion of the signal to a first output and a second portion to a second output of the optical directional coupler. Two wavelengths from the second output are then received by a photodiode (150) that heterodynes the signal to generate a millimeter wave signal.

This photoconductive antenna element (17) comprises a pair of electrodes (21) formed on a semiconductor layer (19). Each electrode (21) is constituted by an antenna part (22), pad parts (23), and a line part (24) connecting them, while the line part (24) includes a parallel portion (24a) extending from the antenna part (22). In the line part (24) of one electrode (21), a portion other than the antenna region (A) is bent opposite to the other electrode (21). In the line part (24) of the other electrode (21), a portion other than the antenna region (A) is bent opposite to the one electrode (21). This structure can prevent the photoconductive antenna element (17) from deteriorating its element characteristics and make it smaller.
