9410771 Delfyett Work will be performed on the generation, characterization, and utilization of high power ultrashort optical pulses from semiconductor traveling wave optical amplifiers. Funding for this effort is required to initiate and establish a high speed photonics effort at the Center for Research and Education for Optics and Lasers. The salient feature in this research proposal is to exploit the large gain and bandwidth, which can be bandgap engineered into semiconductor optical amplifiers in order to support the generation of ultrashort, high power optical pulses from a compact efficient semiconductor laser source. In addition, novel uses of this source will be developed for applications in all optical photonic networks, real time nonlinear optical signal processing, and real time optical recording and retrieval in three dimensional, volume or multilayer-multiwavelength optical memories. ***

9410771 Delfyett工作将在半导体行波光放大器的高功率超短光脉冲的产生、表征和利用方面进行。 这项工作的资金需要在光学和激光研究和教育中心启动和建立高速光子学工作。 在这项研究中的突出特点是利用大的增益和带宽，可以带隙工程到半导体光放大器，以支持从紧凑高效的半导体激光源产生超短，高功率的光脉冲。 此外，该光源的新用途将被开发用于全光光子网络、真实的时间非线性光信号处理以及三维、体积或多层多波长光存储器中的真实的时间光记录和检索。 ***
