Development of Original Optical and Quantum Electronics Devices for Applications in Communications, Metrology and Sciences

Abstract

The goal of the report is to present the development-principles, theories and computer simulations, experiments and practical realizations, of original and competitive methods, elements and devices for quantum electronics, optical communications, metrology, remote sensing and sciences: multi-channel WDM system with independent tuning of each input/output, multi-wavelength laser with independent control of each wavelength, lasers with emission, spectrally fixed at reference atomic absorption line, injection-locking laser system for high (~10 6-10 8) and linear amplification of low-power (~ µW, nW) modulated laser light, optical analogue of the transistor action-optical transistor, system for remote (up to kilometres) measurement of small (mm) translational elongation-shrinking of objects, new solution of tunable sub-nanosecond lasers and lasers with rectangular nanosecond (~1 ns) pulse emission, including controlled duration and tunable wavelength. The basic element of the devices developed is stable and compact interference wedged structures in new composite solution with very narrow transmission (≤ 0.01 nm) in relatively large spectral range (≥1 nm). The laser active media used are solid-state, semiconductor and dye.
