The design and main characteristics of 14-channel dispersion interferometer for plasma profile measurement and control in TEXTOR tokamak are presented. The diagnostic is engineered on the basis of modular concept, the 10.6 microm CO(2) laser source and all optical and mechanical elements of each module are arranged in a compact housing. A set of mirrors and retroreflectors inside the TEXTOR vacuum vessel provides full coverage of the torus cross section with 12 vertical and two diagonal lines of sight, no rigid frame for vibration isolation is required. Results of testing of the single-channel prototype diagnostic and the pilot module of the multichannel dispersion interferometer are presented.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers have identified a new type of bright pulse in Kerr-Gires-Tournois interferometers that exists in a normal dispersion regime.
  • Unlike traditional domain wall locking scenarios, these pulses exhibit unique shapes and increased peak intensities beyond typical limits.
  • They remain stable across a wide range of injection fields, indicating promising applications for generating optical frequency combs (OFC).

The effective control of atomic coherence with cold atoms has made atom interferometry an essential tool for quantum sensors and precision measurements. The performance of these interferometers is closely related to the operation of large wave packet separations. We present here a novel approach for atomic beam splitters based on the stroboscopic stabilization of quantum states in an accelerated optical lattice.

We demonstrated a dispersion-managed 2 µm ultrafast laser based on Tm:ZBLAN fiber. By controlling intracavity net dispersion using passive fibers, we observed soliton, stretched-pulse, and dissipative-soliton mode-locked operations. In particular, the broadest output spectrum with a bandwidth at 30 dB below the peak of 320 nm and a pulse duration of 61 fs were obtained at a net dispersion of -0.

We show that the mode strengths of a guided field in an arbitrary asymmetric channel waveguide can be uniquely determined from self-referencing interferometric measurements at the exit plane of the waveguide. This requires knowledge of both the amplitude and phase of the complex electric field distribution. Although the amplitude can be obtained from the measured intensity profile easily, the phase retrieval is usually non-trivial.

Nat Commun

October 2024

Beijing National Laboratory for Condensed Matter Physics, Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Edge states in topological systems are important due to their stability and unique properties, leading to the development of a superconducting-proximitized edge interferometer on the topological insulator TaPdTe.
  • This interferometer realizes the Josephson diode effect (JDE), achieving high efficiency (up to 73%) and ultra-low power consumption while operating under small magnetic fields.
  • Key features of the JDE include the presence of a second-order harmonic in the current-phase relation and antisymmetric transport, indicating the device's effectiveness for future advancements in superconducting quantum technologies.
