Large tunable fractional delay of slow light pulse and its application to fast optical correlator

Norihiro Ishikura, Toshihiko Baba, Eiichi Kuramochi +1 more

The slow light device based on photonic crystal coupled waveguide was fabricated, and a tunable delay of 72 ps was obtained for 2-ps-wide slow light pulses by local heating, which corresponds to a tunable fractional delay of 36. This value was further enhanced to 110 by compressing the output pulses through self-phase modulation and dispersion compensation in external fibers. We applied this device to optical correlator as a delay scanner, where the fractional delay determines the resolution of the delay scanning. Using this correlator, we successfully observed sub-picosecond pulses at a scan frequency up to 2 kHz, which is 100 times faster than that of mechanical scanners in conventional correlators.

Strong tunable slow and fast lights using a gain-clamped semiconductor optical amplifier

Scott Moon, J. Park, Jung Mi Oh +5 more

Previously demonstrated slow light is still far from applications, particularly due to the limited bandwidth and control speed. Although semiconductor-based slow light has the high bandwidth and sub-nanosecond control speed, slow light was observed only in the absorption regime with attenuation, while fast light observed in the gain regime with amplification. The large power difference in two regimes makes the use of the optical delay impractical. We report novel slow light in the gain regime, with a high power comparable to that of fast light, utilizing the anomalous gain characteristic in a gain-clamped semiconductor optical amplifier. The slow light is tunable to fast light with the current as the only variable. Additional high speed operation, fast delay control, and wide range of operation wavelength make the present approach practical.
