A New Amplifying Technique For Optical Signals
2/2/2022
Weak optical signals are common in many science and technology applications. However, they are difficult to detect or process due to the incoherent noise that is inherently present in any system. PhD student Benjamin Crockett and colleagues, working under the supervision of Professor José Azaña of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), have conceived a technique for the recovery of weak, noise-dominated optical signals. Their research was published in the prestigious journal Optica.

Researchers Proposed An All-Fiber-Laser-Pumped Mid-Infrared MgO:PPLN Optical Parametric Oscillator
1/18/2022
MgO-doped periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) have the ability to generate high-power mid-infrared (MIR) laser with high efficiency. They have important applications in the fields of atmosphere monitoring, laser spectroscopy, photoelectric detection, and remote sensing surveys. In particular, miniaturized high-power MgO:PPLN OPOs are of paramount importance.
