Standing Waves in a Cavity01:28

Standing Waves in a Cavity

A household microwave and lasers are examples of standing electromagnetic waves in a cavity. When two conducting metal plates are placed parallel at the nodal planes, it creates a cavity where standing waves are formed. The cavity between the two planes is analogous to a stretched string held at the points x = 0 and x = L. Here, the distance 'L' between the two planes must be an integer multiple of half of the wavelength. The wavelengths that satisfy this condition are given by:

    Summary

    Sub-wavelength optical waveguides enhance nonlinearity for supercontinuum generation. This enables octave-spanning supercontinuum generation with ultra-low threshold power using microstructured fiber and 250 pJ pulses.

    Area of Science:

    • Nonlinear optics
    • Optical engineering
    • Materials science

    Background:

    • Supercontinuum generation is crucial for spectroscopy and optical communications.
    • Achieving low-threshold supercontinuum generation requires optimized nonlinear optical properties and dispersion.
    • Microstructured fibers offer unique light-matter interaction possibilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the use of sub-wavelength optical waveguides for efficient supercontinuum generation.
    • To demonstrate ultra-low threshold supercontinuum generation using tapered microstructured fiber.
    • To optimize nonlinear and dispersive properties for enhanced supercontinuum generation.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a tapered microstructured fiber with a sub-wavelength core diameter.
