Optical Printed Circuit Board with Polymer Array Switch
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a flexible polymer waveguide array structure that serves as a stitch or jumper on an optical printed circuit board (OPCB). The flexible polymer waveguide array structure can be attached to the OPCB so that it can provide a chip-to-OPCB optical connection. Using an array of small polymer waveguides...

Generating Visible to Mid-Infrared Supercontinuum Light Source using a Multi-Wavelength Ultrashort Laser
This technology is a new method of generating an ultrabroadband and flat supercontinuum laser. Two or more ultrafast lasers with unique central wavelengths are generated from a single cavity so that they can be precisely synchronized. Then, each individual output is broaden to produce flat continuum of wavelengths in the visible and mid-infrared range.
Background:
Ultrafast...

Co-doping of Holmium (Ho) and Dysprosium (Dy) with Erbium (Er) for Low-Cost High-Efficiency Diode-Pumped Laser at 3-Micron Meter Wavelength Range
For many applications, the output of a laser diode is coupled into an optical fiber to direct the light beam more easily. This fiber can be doped with rare earth metals such as Erbium to increase efficiency and absorption. Instead of using Erbium (Er3+) exclusively for doped fiber lasers, this method proposes the use of codoped Er3+ fiber lasers with...
