This work presents a detailed review of the development of distributed acoustic sensors
(DAS) and their newest scientific applications. It covers most areas of human activities, such …

We review the most recent progress in ultralow-noise mode-locked fiber lasers and fiber-
based frequency-comb sources. With the rapid progress in theory, measurement, and …

Micromechanical resonators, when cooled down to near their ground state, can be used to
explore quantum effects such as superposition and entanglement at a macroscopic scale …

Stable terahertz sources are required to advance high-precision terahertz applications such
as molecular spectroscopy, terahertz radars, and wireless communications. Here, we …

Resistance thermometry provides a time-tested method for taking temperature
measurements. However, fundamental limits to resistance-based approaches has produced …

This is the first book on tunable external cavity semiconductor diode lasers, providing an up-
to-date survey on the physics, technology, and performance of widely applicable coherent …

We propose and experimentally demonstrate the use of cyclic pulse coding for enhanced
performance in distributed acoustic sensing based on a phase-sensitive optical time-domain …

Compact interferometers, called phasemeters, make it possible to operate over a large
range while ensuring a high resolution. Such performance is required for the stabilization of …

We perform numerical modeling of a gold nanorod bound to the surface of a microtoroid-
based biosensor. Localized surface plasmon resonances in the nanorod give rise to strong …

We present a compact and frequency-stabilized laser head based on an extended-cavity
diode laser. The laser head occupies a volume of 200 cm 3 and includes frequency …
