Focus Serial: Frontiers of Nonlinear Optics Chalcogenide glasses offer large ultrafast third-
order nonlinearities, low two-photon absorption and the absence of free carrier absorption in …

Optical solitons generated from fiber lasers have been extensively investigated for their
good stability, narrow pulse width and high peak power, which play an indispensable role in …

We propose and demonstrate a simple route to few-optical-cycle pulse generation from a
mid-infrared fiber laser through nonlinear compression of pulses from a holmium-doped …

A chalcogenide prism based surface plasmon resonance sensor with Ag–Au bimetallic alloy
nanoparticles is proposed. The plasmonic structure based on (chalcogenide) sulfide glass …

Projected demands in information bandwidth have resulted in a paradigm shift from
electrical to optical interconnects. Switches, modulators and wavelength converters have all …

We report for the first time acousto-optical transmission resonances in a non-silica fiber. The
resonances, generated in highly nonlinear, single-mode Chalcogenide (As2Se3) fiber, are …

We fabricate high-Q arsenic triselenide glass microspheres through a three-step resistive
heating process. We demonstrate quality factors greater than 2x10^ 6 at 1550 nm and …

A photonic system exemplifying the neurobiological learning algorithm, spike timing
dependent plasticity (STDP), is experimentally demonstrated using the cooperative effects of …

Maximal optical nonlinearity obtainable in amorphous materials at telecommunication
wavelengths of∼ 1.5 μm is predicted. Applying a semiconductor concept, we suggest that …

In this paper, a novel chalcogenide and silica photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structure is
designed with circular air-holes located in the cladding and the various optical properties …
