Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The primary objective of this proposed research programme is the application and characterisation of fibre gratings.A fairly comprehensive yet complementary series of investigations are proposed. A major investigative area will be the generation of single and dual frequency, compact, diode-pumped fibre laser sources leading to investigations and characterisation of single frequency-master oscillator integraded fibre systems. The primary application of these sources will be the production of a highly stable beat frequency source which will be converted, using nonlinear techniques into a highly stable, high repetition rate soliton source, with selectable frequency in the 100 GHz - 1THz regime.This clearly unique source will be used to investigate limits to high frequency switching, for applications to clock recovery and modulation/ demodulation using the ultrafast carrier dynamics of saturated semiconductor amplifiers. These devices will also be probed with the high repetition rate source to determine applicable limits to efficient phase conjugate operation of the semiconductor devices.Basic measurements of pulse interaction with linear and chirped gratings will be undertaken, to verify theoretical prediction and applications to chirp control, pulse shaping and recompression examined. Devices based on gratings in novel configurations, for dispersion correction will also be examined.
