Coherent feedback for wavelength transfer of atomic-optical nonlinearity
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Light has for decades proven extremely valuable for high-bandwidth communications over long distances, and is becoming increasingly important at shorter and shorter length scales as demand for bandwidth rises. Much of the enabling optical technology, which includes optical fibers and fiber amplifiers, relies on materials compatible with the telecom band of wavelengths (roughly 1.2-1.6 μm). Additionally, there has been much interest in expanding the reach of optics into switching, logic, and memory, but such applications typically require nonlinear input-output behaviors not easily found in optical systems. The strongest optical nonlinearities in nature are generally resonant (and therefore narrow-band) and don't necessarily fall within the telecom range. A technique to bridge resonant optical nonlinearities to the telecom band would therefore be quite valuable. Such a method would be yet more valuable if it supported tunable signal wavelengths—this would enable transfer of a fixed-wavelength nonlinearity to an array of telecom wavelengths for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), or allow optical coupling of heterogeneous nonlinearities via a single shared wavelength. In this thesis I'll describe a technique which pairs a below-threshold optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with coherent optical feedback to achieve tunable-wavelength nonlinearity transfer, and present results from a corresponding proof-of-principle implementation which demonstrates the transfer of a sharply resonant atomic-optical nonlinearity.
