A 1645-nm single-frequency vortex beam with narrow linewidth from an Er:YAG nonplanar ring oscillator (NPRO) using an annular pump beam is demonstrated. The pump beam from a 1532-nm fiber laser is shaped to an annular beam by an axicon. The Er:YAG NPRO generates a 1.96-W single-frequency vortex beam under a pump power of 13 W. The linewidth of the 1645-nm vortex laser is measured as 6 kHz. This work provides a convenient way of single-frequency vortex beam generation.

Higher-dimensional supersymmetric microlaser arrays.

The nonlinear scaling of complexity with the increased number of components in integrated photonics is a major obstacle impeding large-scale, phase-locked laser arrays. Here, we develop a higher-dimensional supersymmetry formalism for precise mode control and nonlinear power scaling. Our supersymmetric microlaser arrays feature phase-locked coherence and synchronization of all of the evanescently coupled microring lasers-collectively oscillating in the fundamental transverse supermode-which enables high-radiance, small-divergence, and single-frequency laser emission with a two-orders-of-magnitude enhancement in energy density.

Rotational Doppler effect (RDE) has attracted much attention in recent years which opens new avenues to angular velocity measurement. However, most previous studies used single-frequency vortex light as the detection beam so that the rotational Doppler signal is in the low frequency domain where most of noise signals exist. In this article, we use the dual-frequency 2-fold multiplexed vortex light as the probe beam and transform the Doppler signals from the low frequency domain to the high frequency domain successfully.

Incipient tip vortex cavitation localization using block-sparse compressive sensing.

Noise induced by incipient-propeller tip vortex cavitation (TVC) has a few sources near the propeller tips, which radiate a broadband signal. This article describes a compressive sensing (CS)-based TVC localization technique for coherent multiple-frequency processing, which jointly processes the measured data at multiple frequencies. Block-sparse CS, which groups several single-frequency measurements into blocks, is adopted for coherent multiple-frequency processing.

Vortex laser beams carrying orbital angular momentum have been attracting a lot of interest in recent years. Here we demonstrate the direct generation of a vortex laser in a monolithic nonplanar ring cavity. The unidirectional and single-frequency operation of Laguerre-Gaussian modes is observed and characterized.
