Article Abstract
We report on the development of a cladding-pumped ultra-broadband optical amplifier for a spectral region of 1260-1480 nm using a Bi-doped fiber (BDF) with heterogeneous core formed by combination of PO- and GeO-containing glass layers. This BDF design ensures a favorable local environment for the effective formation process of BACs associated with P and Si atoms. The BDF amplifier (BDFA) pumped into the cladding by multi-mode laser diodes at 793 and 808 nm is characterized by a peak gain of ≈24 dB, a minimum noise figure of ≈6 dB, and a bandwidth of ≈160 nm at a gain level of 20 dB. The effect of the parameters of the fiber design on the output characteristics of BDFA was analyzed by numerical simulation. The calculated data were in good agreement with the experimental ones, which allowed us to outline possible ways to improve the BDFA.

As the demand for renewable energy continues to rise, developing efficient solar energy harvesting technologies has become increasingly important. In this paper, we propose a plasmon absorber utilizing nanocavity arrays to achieve ultra-broadband absorption of solar energy. The results show that the absorber achieves an average absorption rate of 95.

Modern reconnaissance technologies, including hyperspectral and multispectral intensity imaging across optical, thermal infrared, terahertz, and microwave bands, can detect the shape, material composition, and temperature of targets. Consequently, developing a camouflage technique that seamlessly integrates both spatial and spectral dimensions across all key atmospheric windows to outsmart advanced surveillance has yet to be effectively developed and remains a significant challenge. In this study, we propose a digital camouflage strategy that covers the optical (0.

Capturing multi-dimensional optical information is indispensable in modern optics. However, existing photodetectors can at best detect light fields whose wavelengths or polarizations are predefined at several specific values. Integrating broadband high-dimensional continuous photodetection including intensity, polarization, and wavelength within a single device still poses formidable challenges.

Here, we systematically investigate the optimal intra-pulse difference-frequency generation process in BGGSe for an ultra-broadband LWIR output, by employing a tunable optical parametric amplifier as driving sources at the wavelengths of 2.0, 2.

The linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal with larger bandwidth is obtained by the FSL and is optically filtered by the SBS effect to construct a frequency-to-time mapping between the time difference of pulses and the frequency of the signal under test. The proposed IFM scheme is experimentally demonstrated.
