    • Active Nanophotonics For Quantum- And Classical-optics Applications 

      Zhu, Lei (Electrical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
      This thesis presents theoretical and experimental development of the interaction enhancement between the photon and matter. We propose one single photon emitter by integrating a single CdSe /ZnS quantum dot into a ...
    • EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF SPATIAL-MODE-SELECTIVE FREQUENCY UP-CONVERSION 

      Giribabu, Mohan (2015-11-30)
      We experimentally investigate the spatial-mode-selective frequency up-conversion by sum-frequency generation in a second-order medium. In particular, we are interested in zero and first order Gaussian modes. In our ...
    • Investigation Of Spectral Properties Of A DFB Laser Source 

      Srinivasan, Gokul Krishna (Electrical Engineering, 2013-10-22)
      We determine the linewidth characteristic of a DFB laser source by conducting experiments employing a coherent detection setup. We use an instrument grade external semiconductor laser device as the local oscillator and the ...
    • Mode Structure Of A Noiseless Phase-sensitive Image Amplifier 

      Annamalai, Muthiah (Electrical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
      Optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) configured as phase-sensitive amplifiers (PSAs) can be used for noiseless optical image amplification, generation of non-classical states of light, and, in particular, for multimode ...
    • Multi-channel all-optical signal processing 

      Li, Lu (2016-09-16)
      We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, a stand-alone all-optical regenerator capable of simultaneous 2R regeneration of multiple WDM channels. Recently, our group has proposed an all-optical ...
    • Multi-wavelength All-optical 2R Regeneration 

      Patki, Pallavi Govind (Electrical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
      We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, simultaneous all-optical 2R regeneration of multiple WDM channels. In the recent work [1], our group has proposed an all-optical 2R regeneration ...
    • Nonlinear Optics and Bio-sensing with Silicon Nitride Waveguides 

      Das, Subrata; 0000-0003-4639-1919 (2019-12-06)
      Silicon Nitride (SiN) is a CMOS compatible optical material that can be used for both linear and nonlinear optics applications. SiN has high refractive index (1.99-2.0) and low two photon absorption (TPA) coefficient. As ...
    • Optical Amplifiers For 10 Gb/s WDM Recirculating Loop Testbed 

      Thotakura, Sravanthi (Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
      This Master's thesis deals with building experimental setup for characterization of novel nonlinear optical devices for fiber communication. The first part of the thesis deals with the description of the theoretical basis ...
    • Optimization Of Coupling From A Sub-wavelength Metal Nanoaperture To A Gaussian Mode 

      Annamalai, Muthiah (Electrical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
      We model the surface resonance effects in a 1D-array of corrugations on a metal-dielectric film with a sub-wavelength nanoaperture, following the earlier work by Moreno et-al [Moreno:2003]. We are interested in computing ...
    • Recirculating Loop Testbed For All Optical 2R Regeneration 

      Patki, Pallavi Govind (Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
      This Master's thesis deals with building a recirculating loop testbed intended for proof-of-principle demonstration of multichannel all-optical 2R regenerator proposed in [1]. The proposed multichannel 2R regeneration ...
    • Reconfigurable All-Optical De-multiplexing via Spatial-Selective Frequency-Up-Conversion in Kai(2) Multimode Waveguide 

      Kwon, Young Bong; 0000-0001-5202-4440
      We investigate spatial-mode-selective frequency up-converters in (2) multimode waveguides for classical and quantum communication. For the classical application, our method works as spatial-mode de-multiplexer for ...
