“…The compressed echo can be regarded as the aggregation of numerous single photon echoes which occur from f s1 to f s1 + B, [2,4] but it has no explicit expression in the previous papers. Therefore, we are interested in finding a mathematical expression describing the relationship between the single photon echo and the compressed echo.…”

“…The compressed echo can be regarded as the aggregation of numerous single photon echoes which occur from f s1 to f s1 + B. [2,4] Therefore, we first deduce the expression of a single photon echo and verify that the larger time delay of the input pulses will decrease the echo's intensity. Furthermore, the efficiency of the photon echo is a sine-like function with the increase of the rephasing pulse's area and optical thickness.…”

“…The three-pulse photon echo (3PE) is a well-known technique which is applied to arbitrary waveform generation (AWG) and stores intense light pulses by a rare-earth-iondoped crystal (REIC). [1][2][3][4] Compared to the traditional waveform generation methods, this AWG technology enjoys unrivaled capabilities in terms of processing bandwidth and timeto-bandwidth product (TBP). According to the 3PE mechanism, the compressed echo sequences are generated by REIC and can be controlled to change their shapes by adjusting the chirp lasers, thus forming AWG.…”

We investigate the intensity and efficiency of a compressed echo, which is important in arbitrary waveform generation (AWG). A new model of compressed echo is proposed based on the optical Bloch equations, which exposes much more detailed parameters than the conventional model, such as the time delay of the chirp lasers, the nature of the rare-earth-iondoped crystal, etc. According to the novel model of compressed echo, we find that reducing the time delay of the chirp lasers and scanning the lasers around the center frequency of the inhomogeneously broadened spectrum, while utilizing a crystal with larger coherence time and excitation lifetime can improve the compressed echo's intensity and efficiency. The theoretical analysis is validated by numerical simulations.

“…Lasers exhibiting high spectral purity and stability, together with fast, broadband, and precise tunability, are a key requirement for many applications, such as coherent light ranging and 3D imaging using the frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technique [19][20][21], optical processing of radiofrequency signals [22][23][24], and coherent manipulation of atoms for quantum information storage [25,26].…”

We present several laser sources dedicated to advanced microwave photonic applications. A quantum-dash mode-locked laser delivering a high-power, ultra-stable pulse train is first described. We measure a linewidth below 300 kHz at a 4.3 GHz repetition rate for an output power above 300 mW and a pulse duration of 1.1 ps after compression, making this source ideal for microwave signal sampling applications. A widely tunable (5-110 GHz), monolithic millimeter-wave transceiver based on the integration of two semiconductor distributed feedback lasers, four amplifiers, and two high-speed uni-traveling carrier photodiodes is then presented, together with its application to the wireless transmission of data at 200 Mb∕s. A frequency-agile laser source dedicated to microwave signal processing is then described. It delivers arbitrary frequency sweeps over 20 GHz with high precision and high speed (above 400 GHz∕ms). Finally, we report on a low-noise (below 1 kHz linewidth), solid-state, dual-frequency laser source. It allows independent tuning of the two frequencies in the perspective of the implementation of a tunable optoelectronic oscillator based on a high-Q optical resonator.

Based on the similarity of paraxial diffraction and dispersion mathematical descriptions, the temporal imaging of optical pulses combines linear dispersive filters and quadratic phase modulations operating as time lenses. We consider programming a dispersive filter near atomic resonance in rare earth ion-doped crystals, which leads to unprecedented high values of dispersive power. This filter is used in an approximate imaging scheme, combining a single time lens and a single dispersive section and operating as a time-reversing device, with potential applications in radio-frequency signal processing. This scheme is closely related to a three-pulse photon echo with chirped pulses, but the connection with temporal imaging and dispersive filtering emphasizes new features.
