Theoretical Study of the Spurious-Free Dynamic Range of a Tunable Delay Line based on Slow Light in SOA

We developed a predictive model describing harmonic generation and intermodulation distortions in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). This model takes into account the variations of the saturation parameters along the propagation axis inside…

Influence of a static magnetic field on the photoluminescence of an ensemble of Nitrogen-Vacancy color centers in a diamond single-crystal

We investigate the electron spin resonance of an ensemble of Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) color centers in a bulk diamond crystal. The four possible orientations of the NV-center in the lattice lead to different dependences on the magnitude and the…

Direct observation of the class-B to class-A transition in the dynamical behavior of a semiconductor laser

The transition between the class-B and class-A dynamical behaviors of a semiconductor laser is directly observed by continuously controlling the lifetime of the photons in a cavity of sub-millimetric to centimetric length. It is experimentally and…

Slow light using semiconductor optical amplifiers: Model and noise characteristics

We developed an improved model in order to predict the RF behavior of the SOA valid for any experimental conditions. It takes into account the dynamic saturation of the SOA, which can be fully characterized by a simple measurement, and only relies…

Optical Excitation of Nuclear Spin Coherence in Tm3+:YAG

A thulium-doped crystal is experimentally shown to be an excellent candidate for broadband quantum storage in a solid-state medium. For the first time, nuclear spin coherence is optically excited, detected and characterized in such a crystal. The…

Dual-Frequency Laser at 1.5 µm for the Generation of High-Purity Microwave Signals

We describe the stabilization of a dual-frequency laser on an external reference and on fiber delay lines. Low phase noise (-107 dBrad²/Hz at 10 kHz) beatnotes tunable from 2 to 6 GHz are demonstrated.
