A sub-kHz-linewidth broadband-swept fiber laser using Rayleigh scattering-based Brillouin random lasing oscillation is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Benefiting from Brillouin-involved acoustic damping and arbitrary-wavelength distributed Rayleigh feedback, leveraging instantaneously tuning Brillouin gain spectrum induced by a frequency-sweeping pump, a highly coherent random lasing emission with cavity mode elimination as well as frequency noise suppression is achieved in a sweeping manner. Results show that the proposed sweeping Stokes laser with a two-order-magnitude compressed linewidth of 840 Hz and 20 dB frequency noise suppression can unprecedentedly operate over the maximum wavelength range of 16 nm.

Cavity-enhanced direct frequency comb spectroscopy (CE-DFCS) is widely used as a highly sensitive gas sensing technology in various gas detection fields. For the on-axis coupling incidence scheme, the detection accuracy and stability are seriously affected by the cavity-mode noise, and therefore, stable operation inevitably requires external electronic mode-locking and sweeping devices, substantially increasing system complexity. To address this issue, we propose off-axis cavity-enhanced optical frequency comb spectroscopy from both theoretical and experimental aspects, which is applied to the detection of single- and dual-gas of carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO) in the near-infrared.

Broadband near-infrared light emitting tunnel junctions are demonstrated with efficient coupling to a silicon photonic waveguide. The metal oxide semiconductor devices show long hybrid photonic-plasmonic mode propagation lengths of approximately 10 μm and thus can be integrated into an overcoupled resonant cavity with quality factor ≈ 49, allowing for tens of picowatt near-infrared light emission coupled directly into a waveguide. The electron inelastic tunneling transition rate and the cavity mode density are modeled, and the transverse magnetic (TM) hybrid mode excitation rate is derived.

Solar energy is currently a very popular energy source because it is both clean and renewable. As a result, one of the main areas of research now is the investigation of solar absorbers with broad spectrum and high absorption efficiency. In this study, we create an absorber by superimposing three periodic Ti-AlO-Ti discs on a W-Ti-AlO composite film structure.

Mode locking, the self-starting synchronous oscillation of electromagnetic modes in a laser cavity, is the primary way to generate ultrashort light pulses. In random lasers, without a cavity, mode-locking, the nonlinear coupling amongst low spatially coherent random modes, can be activated via optical pumping, even without the emission of short pulses. Here, by exploiting the combination of the inherently giant third-order χ nonlinearity of semiconductor heterostructure lasers and the nonlinear properties of graphene, the authors demonstrate mode-locking in surface-emitting electrically pumped random quantum cascade lasers at terahertz frequencies.
