Title: Method and apparatus for determining wave characteristics using constrained interactions of waves

Abstract

A frequency resolved optical gating (FROG) system receives an ultrafast laser pulse as the “unknown wave” input to the system. The FROG system preferably generates a spectrogram (FROG trace) of the input pulse using a polarization gate, second harmonic generation or other FROG geometry. The system or method preferably analyzes the spectrogram using constrained outer products and principal component generalized projections to find characteristics of the unknown wave such as intensity and phase. Examples of constrained outer products include outer products that incorporate an external constraint such as spectral information or an internal constraint such as a relationship between the probe and gate components derived from the unknown wave.

Method and apparatus for determining wave characteristics using interaction with a known wave

Patent Kane, Daniel James

The described system and method uses data from interaction between a known wave and an unknown wave to analyze or characterize the unknown wave using cross correlation frequency resolved optical gating (X-FROG). The system may obtain X-FROG trace data from the interaction between the two waves. The system analyzes the X-FROG trace data using a modified principal component generalized projection method strategy to invert the X-FROG trace data, analyzing or characterizing the unknown wave. Results of the analysis can be provided in real time and displayed.

A non-linear optical device is provided. The device comprises an optical disk or ring microresonator fabricated from a material that exhibits an optical nonlinearity able to produce degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) in response to a pump beam having a pump frequency in a specified effective range.
