Research abstract
OPTICALLY PUMPED KERR-LIQUID FILLED HOLLOW FIBER DEVICES ARE PROPOSED AS A NOVEL MULTIWAVELENGTH COHERENT LIGHT SOURCE WITH APPLICATIONS IN LIDAR AND COHERENT OPTICAL SENSOR SYSTEMS. THE DEVICES ARE BASED ON STIMULATED RAYLEIGH-KERR SCATTERING FROM A KERR-LIQUID-FILLED HOLLOW FIBER SYSTEM. THE PROPOSED DEVICES ARE SUPERIOR TO OTHER EXISTING METHODS OF GENERATING COHERENT MULTIWAVELENGTH EMISSION IN THAT THEY CAPABLE OF GENERATING SUPER-BROAD BAND COHERENT MULTIWAVELENGTH OUTPUT, HIGHLY EFFICIENT IN CONVERTING A MONOCHROMATIC PUMP INPUT TO THE MULTIWAVELENGTH OUTPUT, COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT, AND OF LOW COST.
