From Nonlinear Optics to High-Intensity Laser Physics

Donna Strickland

9:00 to 9:45  ·  Auditorium

The laser increased the intensity of light that can be generated by orders of magnitude and thus brought about nonlinear optical interactions with matter. Chirped pulse amplification, also known as CPA, changed the intensity level by a few more orders of magnitude and helped usher in a new type of laser-matter interaction that is referred to as high-intensity laser physics. In this talk, I will discuss the differences between nonlinear optics and high-intensity laser physics. The development of CPA and why short, intense laser pulses can cut transparent material will also be included. I will also discuss future applications.

Photonic Glass ceramics

Maurizio Ferrari

9:45 to 10:30  ·  Auditorium

Looking at the literature of the last years is evident that glass-based rare-earth-activated optical structures represent the technological pillar of a huge of photonic applications covering Health and Biology, Structural Engineering, Environment Monitoring Systems and Quantum Technologies. Since the pioneering work of Tick, Borrelli, Cornelius, and Newhouse on transparent glass ceramics performed in 1995, the research regarding photonic glass-ceramics is growing fast, covering a broad spectrum of applications. In the last years, we demonstrated that SiO2-SnO2 glass ceramics, presenting a strong absorption cross section in the UV range due to the SnO2 nanocrystal, are effective rare earth ions sensitizers. Another interesting property of the SiO2-SnO2...

Advances in Photonic Aperiodic Arrays and Circulators

Hugo Enrique Hernández Figueroa

10:30 to 11:15  ·  Auditorium

Due to their much lower losses photonic dielectric antennas are preferred, in several applications, instead of the metallic ones. However, their sizes are typically in the order of one wavelength, consequently, if single beamforming is needed, the use of aperiodic phased arrays capable of suppressing grating lobes is mandatory. On the other hand, the recent development of nonreciprocal materials without external magnetization may enable the design of compact integrated circulators. Such devices among other applications, allow the antennas to operate in the transceiver mode. In this talk, the research advances of these two key topics will be addressed in detail.

Extreme Light Scattering

Donald Umstadter

11:55 to 12:40  ·  Auditorium

We discuss the physics and applications of nonlinear Thomson scattering. When high intensity laser light (~1018 W/cm2) scattered with electrons, the degree of polarization of the scattered light was found to depend on its intensity level. This has implications for recent tests of cosmological theories based on the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. At higher intensity (~1021 W/cm2), a novel x-ray generation mechanism was demonstrated, namely high-order multiphoton Thomson scattering (n > 500).1 Nonlinear Thomson scattering was also predicted theoretically to measure the pulse duration of attosecond electron bunches.2 A compact all-laser-driven x-ray source with synchrotron quality and gamma-ray energy was developed, based on Thomson...

Recently, lasers with peak power on the TW level operating at 1 kHz have been used to produce quasimonoenergetic electron beams with good quality and energy in the 15 MeV range, by laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA). Due to the fast growth of the repetition rates of this class of lasers, practical applications such as the production of gamma rays to initiate photofission nuclear reactions, in order to produce medical systems, capable of matching the resonant acceleration conditions (few-fs, several-mJ pulses), are now available.

16:00 to 16:30  ·  Hall A

Modern technological applications share a variety of common demands, especially the need for smaller functional devices operating with unprecedented data processing power. Hence, nanoscale devices for light traffic are promising candidates for that end. Therefore, a set of advances are required to drive research into real-world applications in this area, including disruptive advances in the available characterization tools. This work presents an overview of how synchrotron infrared nanospectroscopy has contributed to the progress of nanophotonics. Technique description, data processing, and recent studies highlight the uniqueness of the technique for accessing nano-optical phenomena in novel quantum materials.

Lucas N. S. de Andrade (USP); Charlie O. Oncebay Segura (Universidad Nacional de INgeniería, Peru); Sergio R. Muniz (USP)

16:30 to 17:00  ·  Hall A

One of the biggest challenges to implement quantum protocols and quantum information processing (QIP) is achieving long coherence times, usually requiring systems ultra low temperatures. The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is a promising alternative to this general problem. Due to its spin properties, easy manipulation, and the possibility to do optical state initialization and readout, it quickly became one of the best solid-state spin system for QIP at room temperature. Here, we present the characterization of the spin-coherence of an ensemble of NV centers in engineered sample of ultrapure diamond, as a testbed for quantum protocols for quantum metrology.

Generating arbitrary laser beam shapes through phase-mapped designed beam splitting

Pedro Silva (USP); Sergio R. Muniz (USP)

17:00 to 17:20  ·  Hall A

This paper describes a method to generate high-definition arbitrary laser beam shapes and optical potentials. The phase contrast between a binary diffraction grating and the target intensity distribution is encoded on a spatial light modulator to control the splitting of light, enabling to produce very sharp, speckles-free and smooth images at the target plane. Besides its simplicity, not requiring any additional phase-plates, this technique provides a straightforward way to encode images onto phase-only masks, through direct pixel mapping, allowing for simpler feedback schemes to correct and control light distributions and optical potentials in real-time.

New Opportunities with Old Materials

Invited Paper

Marko Loncar (Harvard College)

14:20 to 15:00  ·  Hall B

Lithium niobate (LN) is an “old” material with many applications in optical and microwave technologies, owing to its strong electro-optic (EO) coefficient, second order nonlinearity, and piezoelectricity. Conventional – discrete – LN components, the workhorse of the optoelectronic industry for many decades, are reaching their limits, however. I will discuss the development of integrated LN photonic platform aimed at applications in optical communications (classical and quantum) and microwave photonics. Examples include high-performance (EO) modulators, EO and Kerr frequency combs, ad frequency converters.

Diamond is another “old” material with remarkable properties! It is transparent from the ultra-violet to infrared, has a high refractive index,...

15:00 to 15:20  ·  Hall B

This paper describes an optical coupling method based on angle polished fiber for grating couplers on silicon photonics. Compared with classic coupling methods, this approach minimizes the difficulty of alignment accuracy and facilitates the packaging between devices and waveguides. The procedures to obtain the polishing angle to improve coupling, metallization of the fiber surface to increase reflectivity, and experimental measurement of insertion loss are described. The results show that the polished fiber coupling method increases insertion loss by only 0.8 dB when compared to the standard grating coupler vertical coupling.

Metallic nanoparticles have shown great potential to efficiently convert solar radiation into thermal energy; therefore, there is a relationship between the normal oscillation mode of the free electrons of these nanoparticles and the frequency of an incident electric field. We explored the feasibility of using a nanofluid containing silver nanoparticles, through computer simulations, using the comsol software and to corroborate this, we also made experimental analyzes using a solar simulator. Therefore, we realized that the nanofluid has the potential to be applied in solar collectors, as it has the characteristics of a solar radiation absorber.

Using Space-Division Multiplexing (SDM) through multicore optical fibers (MCFs) can significantly increase the transmission capacity. However, compatibility with silicon photonics, a promising technology for compact, low-cost and power-efficient devices, requires integration between the two platforms. Using uniform grating couplers combined with compact tapers, two arrays -for vertical and 10°- were designed, fabricated and experimentally characterized. Simulations indicate coupling efficiencies of −4,64dB and −3,64dB for the 0° and 10° couplers, respectively, with bandwidths of 66,5nm and 127,3nm. Experimental results yielded efficiencies of −6,8dB for both designs, and corresponding bandwidths of 46,8nm and 90nm.

Diego Rativa (UPE)

16:10 to 16:55  ·  Hall C

The amount of energy radiated by the sun in one hour is much higher than the energy used by all human beings in a year. The average annual horizontal radiation in the Brazilian semi-arid region is more than 2,000 kWh/m2, which, together with low precipitations, convert the region into the most populous dry region of the earth, where making the threat to water a constant factor due to droughts' repeated occurrence. Solar collectors are simple devices that usually employ a fluid circulating in a network of tubes working as heat receptors. One way to enhance the energy transfer efficiency is to use a working fluid with optical properties to directly absorb the solar radiation, usually called Direct Solar Absorption Collector (DSAC).

Vahid Aref (Nokia Bell Labs)

14:30 to 15:15  ·  Hall D

Forward Error Correction is an essential element of today’s digital communication systems to guarantee reliable data transmission. Modern high-speed optical communication systems require high-performing FEC engines with low power consumption that support throughput of multiples of 100 Gbit/s, achieving Net Coding Gains (NCGs) close to the theoretical Shannon limits at a target Bit Error Rate (BER) of 1e-15.

In this tutorial, we overview the state-of-the-art FEC schemes for fiber-optic communications, namely spatially coupled LDPC codes, oFEC and the staircase codes. The last two FEC schemes are already standardized for OpenZR+ and OIF 400G-ZR. We explain that these elaborate FEC schemes have a common feature leading to their high NCGs. They are...

Elastic Optical Networks

Helio Waldman (Unicamp)

In elastic optical networks (EON’s), the old fixed wavelength grid is replaced by a flexible grid of contiguous 12.5 GHz frequency slots. Each connection is assigned a tight integer number of such slots that is customized according to the requested bitrate and distance. A spectrally efficient modulation format is then chosen to provide connectivity with zero margin. <br><br> The motivation behind EON’s is the efficient use of optical spectrum. However, heterogeneity of the (bitrate, distance) demands over translucent networks means that rectangular objects with different shapes must now be dynamically assigned on a mesh of routes made from 320-slot links.

The objective was to evaluate and describe the diameter of the laser beam in different devices. Thus, nine different devices were recruited. The laser emitter diameters were collected using a detector sensitive to visible or infrared radiation. A Gaussian function was fitted after gauging, followed by non-linear regression to obtain beam radius, area, and diameter. This showed significant differences between the measured values and those indicated in the manufacturer's manual (45 to 595%). Thus, we conclude the need for frequent therapeutic laser equipment evaluations and a precise specification on beam parameters and data accuracy with the manufacturing companies.

The irradiation of dental hard tissues with high-intensity lasers can make them more resistant to demineralization. Although many wavelengths have been studied, there are no research that evaluate the potential of short-pulsed Nd: YAG laser emitted in the infrared (1064nm) or ultraviolet (355nm) wavelength to prevent the progression of erosion lesions. This in vitro study evaluated the morphological and optical changes in eroded dentin promoted by such lasers. It was concluded that Nd: YAG lasers are effective in preventing the progression of dentin erosion/abrasion lesions in dentin; however, these effects are restricted to the first days of erosive/abrasive challenge.

Lasers are used for preventing demineralization, but there are no studies that report the compositional changes on root dentin irradiated with ErCrYSGG (2.78µm) laser in an erosive process. In this in vitro study, fifty dentin slabs were distributed in 5 groups to be treated with ErCrYSGG laser associated or not with application of acidulated phosphate fluoride gel (APF-gel); then, an erosion regime was conducted for 10 days and the composition changes were monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The data suggest a synergistic effect between laser irradiation and APF-gel, with a greater preventive effect when APF-gel was applied after irradiation.
