We present an all-fiber frequency shifter (AFFS) consisting of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) modulated via an acoustic flexural wave for optical heterodyne measurement. The AFFS can efficiently generate the frequency-shifted signal due to the resonance peak with a high-reflection efficiency and being completely separated from the reflection spectrum of the original FBG, simultaneously. The experimental result shows that the minimal measurable vibration amplitude and the resolution of the all-fiber optical heterodyne measurement setup constructed with the AFFS are 0.06 nm and 30 pm in the region of tens to hundreds of kilohertz, respectively.

The millimeter-wave wireless transmission system is widely regarded as a promising solution for applications of future 6G communication. This paper presents an experimental comparison between all-optical and all-electric receivers for millimeter-wave communication systems over a 15 m wireless link and demonstrates 200 m and 2 km real-time uncompressed HD video transmission using an all-optical transceiver at 100 GHz. The systems leverage photonics-assisted heterodyne beating techniques at the transmitter, while the receivers employ either an avalanche photodiode (APD)-based all-optical approach or an envelope detection-based all-electric approach.

Partial wave analysis is key to interpretation of the photoionization of atoms and molecules on the attosecond timescale. Here we propose a heterodyne analysis approach, based on the delay-resolved anisotropy parameters to reveal the role played by high-order partial waves during photoionization. This extends the Reconstruction of Attosecond Beating By Interference of Two-photon Transitions technique into the few-photon regime.

This paper reports an ultra-narrow-linewidth self-injection locked semiconductor laser, which is realized through optical feedback from a high-Q (258 million) Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity constructed with three mirrors, generating an output power of 12 mW. Employing a delay self-heterodyne method based on a signal source analyzer, the phase noise of the laser is -129 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency, with an intrinsic linewidth of 3 mHz.

The development of a microwave electrometer with inherent uncertainty approaching its ultimate limit carries both fundamental and technological significance. However, because of the thermal motion of atoms, the state-of-art Rydberg electrometer falls considerably short of the standard quantum limit by about three orders of magnitude. Here, we use an optically thin medium with approximately 5.

An early decision for the diagnostic was to deploy two lasers in the infrared wavelength spectrum, allowing the system to have a higher optical throughput. The optimization of the in-vessel geometry for the diagnostic follows a similar approach, focusing on de-risking possible damage to the plasma facing optical components by moving them further from the plasma with an orientation that provides a greater possibility for protective features to be added.
