Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

Photonic crystal fibers (PCF) offer unique control of dispersion and nonlinearity and have revolutionized nonlinear optics. We present the possibility to use hollow-core and solid-core PCF for the generation of bright twin beams and photon triplet states. One advantage to use optical fibers is that both signal and idler can be generated in a single spatial mode. By pumping close to the zero...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

The surging progress in silicon photonics over the past decade has been driven by its potential deployment in low cost, high bandwidth, wavelength-division multiplexed short reach optical interconnections in datacenters. Many device level advances have been made in recent years, and the variety of high quality components that have become available now motivate extending the application of...

Rare-earth-ion (REI) doped materials offer unique spectroscopic properties, such as narrow optical linewidths, or long-lived shelving levels that allow for spectral tailoring of their inhomogeneously broadened absorption lines. Indeed, both these properties are required simultaneously in order to implement many of the potential applications of (REI) doped materials, such as optical quantum...

1110. Hollow-core photonic Bragg fiber for bulk and surface sensing applications

Oral (Student, Not in Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), pas dans la compétition)

We demonstrate a hollow-core photonic Bragg fiber for bulk and surface sensing applications. The sensor operates on a resonant sensing modality. Variation in the fiber core effective refractive index modifies the bandgap guidance of the fiber, leading to a spectral shift in the fiber transmission spectrum. As a demonstration for the bulk sensing application, we apply the fiber sensor to detect...
