A nonlinear optical loop mirror(NOLM)-based linear cavity switchable multi-wavelength erbium-doped fiber(EDF) laser is proposed and experimentally demonstrated.Due to the characteristics of the intensity-dependent transmissivity,the NOLM can effectively mitigate the mode competition of the homogenous broadening gain medium,so that the multi-wavelength lasing can be achieved at room temperature.By adjusting the states of the polarization controllers(PCs),the number of the lasing wavelengths in the proposed laser can be adjusted flexibly from 11 to 13 with a wavelength spacing of 0.4 nm around the wavelength of 1 530 nm.
A novel method is presented to enhance the resonant transmission contrast ratio in metal-insulator-metal(MIM)sidecoupled-cavity waveguide.The finite difference time domain(FDTD)method is used to simulate and study the optical properties of the filter based on double side-coupled cavities structure with optofluidics pump system(OPS).This system provides a flexible way to change wavelength in the optical filter.In the numerical simulation,the resonant wavelengths from 1000 nm to 1550 nm are analyzed.We find that the double side-coupled cavities structure with OPS has higher onresonance transmittance and better wavelength selectivity than the single side-coupled cavity structure with OPS.
Electronic transport through a vibrating double quantum dot(DQD) in contact with noncollinear ferromagnetic(FM)leads is investigated. The state transition between the two dots of the DQD is excited by an AC microwave driving field.The corresponding currents and differential conductance are calculated in the Coulomb blockade regime by means of the Born–Markov master equation. It is shown that the interplay between electrons and phonons gives rise to phonon-assisted tunneling resonances and Franck–Condon blockade under certain conditions. In noncollinear magnetic configurations,spin-blockade effects are also observed, and the angle of polarization has some influence on the transport characteristics.
