  • Patent number: 11281070
    Abstract: A device for high-speed real-time sampling of mid-infrared ultrafast light signals includes a time domain amplification unit and a detection unit. The time domain amplification unit is used to perform sampling and time domain amplification on signal light incident to the time domain amplification unit, and convert the signal light of a mid-infrared band into a near-infrared/visible band. The detection unit is used to receive and record information of the to-be-detected signal light processed by the time domain amplification unit to realize high-speed real-time sampling and measurement of the mid-infrared ultrafast light signal. The present disclosure can accurately obtain subpicosecond transient characteristics of the light signal, breaks through the capacity limit to the response rate of a traditional photoelectric detector, the bandwidth of the oscilloscope and the like, and is applicable to femtosecond-level mid-infrared ultrafast light signals.

  • Publication number: 20210318591
    Abstract: The present application relates to a mid-infrared (MIR) optical frequency comb (OFC) generation system and method based on manipulation of the multi-photon absorption (MPA) effect, which can break through the repetition-rate limitation for traditional systems and restricted bandwidth as well as high dependence on high-performance pump sources for microcavity-based frequency combs. The system includes a pump light source unit for providing a pump laser, a microring resonator (MRR) unit for broadband comb generation through nonlinear four-wave-mixing process, and an MPA effect control unit for realizing the MIR soliton-state OFC by controlling the loaded voltage or current on the MRR unit. The proposed system and operation method have advantages of being simple in structure, economic for use, and easy to implement for broadband low-noise frequency comb generation.
