Abstract: A dual output laser diode may include first and second end facets and an active section. The first and second end facets have low reflectivity. The active section is positioned between the first end facet and the second end facet. The active section is configured to generate light that propagates toward each of the first and second end facets. The first end facet is configured to transmit a majority of the light that reaches the first end facet through the first end facet. The second end facet is configured to transmit a majority of the light that reaches the second end facet through the second end facet.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuits provide passively Q-switched laser systems operable to emit a pulse train that is synchronized to a reference clock operating at a relatively high pulse repetition frequency. Such pulsed laser systems can include a gain medium; a pump source that excites the gain medium into a higher energy state; a passive Q-switch; a photodetector that produces an electronic signal synchronous with the laser output pulse; and an electronic control system that inputs the signal from the photodetector and controls the pump source to optimize the synchronization between the output laser pulses and a reference clock. The clock source may be internally generated by the electronic control system or input externally. In some examples and embodiments, passively Q-switched lasers can be utilized as transmitters in automotive LIDAR systems.

Abstract: A degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) squeezed light apparatus includes one or more pump beams, a probe beam, a vapor cell, a repump beam, and a detector. The one or more pump beams includes an input power of no greater than about 150 mW. The vapor cell includes an atomic vapor configured to interact with overlapped pump and probe beams to generate an amplified probe beam and a conjugate beam. The repump beam is configured to optically pump the atomic vapor to a ground state and decrease atomic decoherence of the atomic vapor. The detector is configured to measure squeezing due to quantum correlations between the amplified probe beam and the conjugate beam. The one or more pump beams, the probe beam, and the repump beam are configured to generate two-mode squeezed light by DFWM with squeezing of at least 3 dB below shot noise.

Abstract: An all-solid-state single-frequency continuous wave laser is provided, which includes a symmetric ring resonant cavity, a first gain crystal and a second gain crystal symmetrically arranged in the symmetric ring resonant cavity, and a gain unit symmetrically arranged between the first gain crystal and the second gain crystal. The gain unit includes at least one gain crystal arranged in sequence. In the gain unit, a third gain crystal nearest to the first gain crystal and a fourth gain crystal nearest to the second gain crystal are symmetrically arranged. Each gain crystal is coupled with a separate pump source. Each gain crystal in the symmetric ring resonant cavity is equipped with a separate pump source, and the imaging system is eliminated in the symmetric ring resonant cavity. On the premise that the pump power is not limited, the laser can achieve stable single-frequency operation in a wide pump range.

Abstract: A laser system generates laser pulses having a determined carrier-envelope-offset, CEO. The laser system includes a Cr-doped II-VI based laser oscillator system having a resonator cavity, which emits laser pulses having a peak power of at least 0.75 MW.

In addition, the laser system includes an f-2f-interferometry device for generating a beating signal of at least a part of the overlapping spectral components exiting the frequency-doubling element and interfering with each other at the f-2f-interferomtry device and for determining and/or controlling the CEO of the emitted laser pulses based on the beating signal.

Abstract: A device may include an active material, a primary optical system, and a pump optical system. The primary optical system forms a primary folded optical path through the active material for a primary optical beam. The pump optical system forms a pump folded optical path through the active material for pump light. The pump folded optical path overlaps with the primary folded optical path in the active material. The pump light propagating along the pump folded optical path pumps the active material to amplify the primary optical beam propagating through the active material along the primary folded optical path.

Abstract: A method and a system are provided to simultaneously generate blue-shifted and red-shifted femtosecond light sources with tunable spectral peak location and bandwidth, by controlling the input condition (chirp/spectrum) of a fiber-optic nonlinear propagation. The system comprises (A) a seed source, (B) a driving current controller to regulate the spectrum of the seed source, (C) a dispersion controller to control the chirp and pulse width of the seed source, (D) a fiber-optic spectral conversion module to shape and broaden the laser spectrum via fiber-optic nonlinear processes, and (E) a spectral selection module to filter out the required wave packets. With the simultaneous uses of the driving current controller and the dispersion controller, the light sources feature continuously tunable spectral peak with (1) a relatively constant output pulse energy or (2) a tunable spectral bandwidth at a specific peak location.
