Title High radiation sensitivity of chiral long period gratings Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 57 Issue 5 Pages 2915 - 2922
Keywords chiral fiber gratings, chiral gratings, chiral LPG, from chiralphotonics
Abstract The radiation sensitivity of chiral long period gratings was investigated for the first time. After a Co-60 gamma dose of 100 kGy they show radiation-induced changes of their transmission dip wavelength of up to 10 nm, which is 100 to 1000 times higher than the radiation-induced wavelength shift of different fiber Bragg grating types. They can therefore be used as radiation sensors down to doses of 10 Gy or even below, but not for accurate dose measurements since the size of the wavelength shift after a certain dose still depends on the radiation dose rate. Chiral gratings made of eight single mode fiber types with differences of their radiation-induced attenuation of several orders of magnitude were investigated in order to look for a correlation between dip wavelength shift and fiber attenuation. However, the dip wavelength curves do not show exactly the same order as the fiber attenuation curves. A theory that can exactly predict all properties of the chiral gratings might enable us to specify from our results an optimized fiber for the production of gratings that can also be used for radiation dosimetry.

Title Monolithic InP multi-wavelength coherent receiver Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication Conference on optical fiber communication, collocated national fiber optic engineers conference Abbreviated Journal Conf. OFC/NFOEC
Volume Issue Pages 1-3
Keywords InP balanced detector, waveguide grating, polarization splitter, from chiralphotonics
Abstract We propose and demonstrate a novel four-channel monolithic polarization-diversity dual-quadrature coherent receiver with balanced detection in InP. It uses an interleave-chirped arrayed waveguide grating that acts simultaneously as a demultiplexer, 90° hybrid, and polarization splitter.

Title 20-μm-pitch eight-channel monolithic fiber array coupling 160 Gb/s/channel to silicon nanophotonic chip Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication Conf. OFC/NFOEC Abbreviated Journal Conf. OFC/NFOEC
Volume Issue Pages 1-3

Abstract A multichannel tapered coupler interfacing standard 250-μm-pitch low-NA polarization-maintaining fiber arrays with ultra-dense 20-μm-pitch high-NA silicon waveguides is designed, fabricated, and tested, demonstrating coupling losses below 1 dB and injection bandwidths of 160 Gb/s/channel.

Title Chiral diffraction gratings in twisted microstructured fibers Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication Optics Letters Abbreviated Journal Opt. Lett.
Volume 35 Issue 3 Pages 342-344
Keywords chiral diffracion gratings, optical fiber gratings, from chiralphotonics
Abstract We observed dips in transmission spectra of uniformly twisted pure-silica microstructured fibers. The spectral positions of the dips and their insensitivity to the surrounding medium are consistent with Bragg diffraction from the helical structure. The reproducibility of the variation of the dip wavelength with temperature up to 1000°C makes the chiral diffraction grating suitable for high-temperature sensing.

Title Improved sensitivity of terahertz detection by GaAs photoconductive antennas excited at 1560 nm Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication Appl. Phys. Lett. Abbreviated Journal Appl. Phys. Lett.
Volume 97 Issue Pages 201110 (1-3)
Keywords photoconductive antenna (PCA)
Abstract The terahertz detection by photoconductive antennas (PCAs) based on low-temperature grown (LTG) GaAs with 1.5 μm pulse excitation was revisited. We found that the detection efficiency can be improved by a factor of 10 (20 dB) by reducing the excitation spot size and the gap length of the PCA, maintaining the low noise feature of the PCA on LTG GaAs. As a result, the signal-to-noise ratio higher than 50 dB was obtained at a reasonable incident power of 9.5 mW, suggesting that the scheme is promising for the detection of terahertz waves in practical time domain systems.
