A new method optical short pulse generation using diode lasers under the negative electro-optic feedback are proposed. The self-pulsing is induced by feedback itself and the pulse is formed by the interaction of feeback signal and the dynamics of the diode laser. The simulated pulse width is on the order of picosecond with several GIIz repetition rates.

We have investigated the photophysics of the acetone radical cation in the vacuum ultraviolet energy region by multiphoton ionization combined with time-of-flight mass spectrometry in a cluster beam. We have found that the loss of methyl radical from the acetone radical cations is remarkably suppressed at 10.5 eV when they are solvated by a few neutral acetone molecules. The cluster ion mass spectra obtained by nanosecond and picosecond laser pulses reveal that there are intermolecular processes, occurring in several tens of picoseconds, which are responsible for the survival of the acetone cations in clusters. This remarkable solvation effect on the yield of the methyl radical loss from the acetone cation can be rationalized by the intracluster vibrational energy redistribution and the self-catalyzed enolization which compete with the methyl radical loss process.

We report an experimental demonstration of 40 Gbps all-optical 3R regeneration with all-optical clock recovery based on InP semiconductor devices. We also obtain alloptical non-return-to-zero to return-to-zero (NRZ-to-RZ) format conversion using the recovered clock signal at 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps. It leads to a good performance using a Mach-Zehnder interferometric wavelength converter and a self-pulsating laser diode (LD). The self-pulsating LD serves a recovered clock, which has an rms timing jitter as low as sub-picosecond. In the case of 3R regeneration of RZ data, we achieve a 1.0 dB power penalty at $10^{-9}$ BER after demultiplexing 40 Gbps to 10 Gbps with an eletroabsorption modulator. The regenerated 3R data shows stable error-free operation with no BER floor for all channels. The combination of these functional devices provides all-optical 3R regeneration with NRZ-to-RZ conversion.

In this study, we demonstrated multimodal nonlinear optical (NLO) microscopy integrated simultaneously with two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF), second-harmonic generation (SHG), and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) in order to obtain targeted cellular and label-free images in an immunofluorescence assay of the atherosclerotic aorta from apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. The multimodal NLO microscope used two laser systems: picosecond (ps) and femtosecond (fs) pulsed lasers. A pair of ps-pulsed lights served for CARS (817 nm and 1064 nm) and SHG (817 nm) images; light from the fs-pulsed laser with the center wavelength of 720 nm was incident into the sample to obtain autofluorescence and targeted molecular TPEF images for high efficiency of fluorescence intensity without cross-talk. For multicolor-targeted TPEF imaging, we stained smooth-muscle cells and macrophages with fluorescent dyes (Alexa Fluor 350 and Alexa Fluor 594) for an immunofluorescence assay. Each depth-sectioned image consisted of $512{\times}512$ pixels with a field of view of $250{\times}250{\mu}m^2$, a lateral resolution of $0.4{\mu}m$, and an axial resolution of $1.3{\mu}m$. We obtained composite multicolor images with conventional label-free NLO images and targeted TPEF images in atherosclerotic-plaque samples. Multicolor 3-D imaging of atherosclerotic-plaque structural and functional composition will be helpful for understanding the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease.

주 공진기 Nd:YLF 레이저에서 Q-switching and mode-locking(QSML)된 펄스열로부터 단일 펄스를 선택한 후 4중경로 Nd:glass 레이저 증폭기를 통과시켜 얻은 증폭된 빔의 펄스폭을 이광자 형광법으로 측정하였고 비공선 일종 이차고조파법을 이용하여 CW mode-locked 펄스열의 자기상관을 구해 펄스폭과 함께 펄스형을 결정하였다. 측정된 TPF 자기상관 패턴은 QSML 펄스열에서 단일 펄스를 선택하는 위치에 따라 다른 양상을 보였다. 즉, 펄스열 전반부에서 선택된 펄스의 자기상관은 곡선이 부드러운 펄스형을 보이는 반면, 펄스열 후반부일 때는 예리한 spike와 중앙의 substructure를 나타냈다. TPF법에 의한 증폭된 빔의 자기상관으로부터 펄스폭은 44.4ps, 대비비는 2.86로 측정되었으며 이 대비비로부터 펄스와 배경을 합한 전체 에너지에 대한 펄스의 에너지비 E$_{p}$/E$_{total}$ =0.62를 구할 수 있었고 또한 mode-locking만 된 펄스를 사용한 SHG 자기상관 실험에서는 펄스폭이 46.6ps로 측정되었다. 한편, 측정된 SHG 자기상관 신호를 여러 펄스형으로 fitting한 결과 펄스형이 sech$^{2}$형에 가까움을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 펄스형을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 4중경로 증폭기를 통과한 펄스의 펄스폭 감소 효과를 확인하였다.다.
