Advanced Coherent Transient Systems and Devices
Abstract
The reported research explored non-traditional approaches to optical coherent transients applications and explored novel concepts designed to enhance optical coherent transient processing by exploiting the complex signal processing capabilities and non-linear behavior in optical coherent transient systems. The progress reported includes continuously programmed continuous processing optical coherent transient processor proposed and demonstrated; high efficiency echoes greater than 100% demonstrated; the theory and demonstration of the energy source of echoes; study of virtual echoes via a six wave mixing processes; BPSK and QPSK correlation demonstrating processing of multi-phase encoded information with optical-coherent transient; nutational echoes investigated and demonstrated; new methods for multi-GHz pulse shaping and arbitrary waveform generation using optical coherent transients are proposed and proof-of-concept demonstration was performed;. methods for obtaining high efficiency (58%) true-time-delay echoes using linear chirped programming are proposed; and optical control of geometric phase in an optical coherent transient system is experimentally demonstrated.
