  3. Chirped Pulses Meet Quantum Dots: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Perspectives

    Year of publicationPublished in:Advanced quantum technologies F. Kappe, Y. Karli, G. Wilbur, R. Krämer, S. Ghosh, R. Schwarz, M. Kaiser, T. Bracht, D. Reiter, S. Nolte, K. Hall, G. Weihs, V. Remesh
    Shaped laser pulses have been remarkably effective in investigating various aspects of light–matter interactions spanning a broad range of research. Chirped laser pulses exhibiting a time-varying frequency, or quadratic spectral phase, form a crucial category in the group of shaped laser pulses. This type of pulses have made a ubiquitous presence from spectroscopic applications to developments in high-power laser technology, and from nanophotonics to quantum optical communication, ever since their introduction. In the case of quantum technologies recently, substantial efforts are being invested toward achieving a truly scalable architecture. Concurrently, it is important to develop methods to produce robust photon sources. In this context, semiconductor quantum dots hold great potential, due to their exceptional photophysical properties and on-demand operating nature. Concerning the scalability aspect of semiconductor quantum dots, it is advantageous to develop a simple, yet robust method to generate photon states from it. Chirped pulse excitation has been widely demonstrated as a robust and efficient state preparation scheme in quantum dots, thereby boosting its applicability as a stable photon source in a real-world scenario. Despite the rapid growth and advancements in laser technologies, the generation and control of chirped laser pulses can be demanding. Here, an overview of a selected few approaches is presented to tailor and characterize chirped pulses for the efficient excitation of a quantum dot source. By taking the chirped-pulse-induced adiabatic rapid passage process in quantum dot as an example, numerical design examples are presented along with experimental advantages and challenges in each method and conclude with an outlook on future perspectives.

  8. Spectral and dispersion tuning of fiber Bragg gratings by tailored femtosecond laser refractive index modification

    Year of publication T. Imogore
    In this thesis, novel inscription techniques for tailoring the spectral and dispersive properties of an FBG using ultrashort laser pulses are developed and investigated. These inscription techniques do not only rely on the variation of the grating period along the grating length but combine the functionalities of the phase mask inscription technique and direct inscription techniques to incorporate flexibility and reproducibility in tailoring the average refractive index profile of an FBG before (pre-processing), during and after inscription (post-processing). Also, this work explores the application of these techniques in tailoring the spectral and dispersive properties of an inscribed FBG and in realizing complex FBGs in both silica and flouride fibers.

  9. Avoiding the tip: spiral optics for robust high power beam shaping of Bessel beams

    Year of publicationPublished in:Optics Express M. Siems, J. Thomas, H. Gross, A. Schöneberg, S. Nolte
    Bessel Gaussian beams offer unique possibilities in material processing due to their elongated high-intensity line foci. They are usually created using an axicon. Being used with high power, the most critical part of the axicon is its tip, as it is prone to laser-induced damage. Any imperfection of the tip can be the source of aberrations of the focus. Therefore, we propose to apply Laguerre Gaussian beam shaping to circumvent the tip of the axicon altogether. We introduce an optical system consisting of spiral phase plates and an axicon to combine Laguerre and Bessel Gaussian beam shaping. This system is experimentally implemented using custom-made spiral phase plates and a large angle axicon. We characterize and finally apply the system to glass cutting and demonstrate the cleaving of a 2 mm thick glass sample, which results in a high-quality breaking edge with sub-micron roughness.

  12. Direct Glass-to-Metal Welding by Femtosecond Laser Pulse Bursts: I, Conditions for Successful Welding with a Gap †

    Year of publicationPublished in:Nanomaterials Q. Li, G. Matthäus, D. Sohr, S. Nolte
    We report on the welding of optical borosilicate glass to an unpolished copper substrate (surface Ra of 0.27 µm and Rz of 1.89 µm) using bursts of femtosecond laser pulses. The present paper puts forth the hypothesis that glass–metal welding with a gap is contingent upon the ejection of molten jets of glass. We have ascertained the impact of pulse energy and focal position on weldability. This finding serves to substantiate our initial hypothesis and provides a framework for understanding the conditions under which this hypothesis is applicable. Under optimal conditions, but without the assistance of any clamping system, our welded samples maintained a breaking resistance of up to 10.9 MPa.
