0.5 kW commercial diode stack with a grating in
front Locks stack within 1 nm bandwidth (90
efficient)
Spectral width of emission from the stack at full
pumping current is about 1 nm. Total losses are
about 7. They are resulted from misalignment of
the bars in the stack. Possible solutions for
increasing efficiency are to use separated
mirrors stuck with the fast axis collimators for
each bar or produce alignment of bars with
sub-milliradian accuracy.

Why Gain Guided-Index Anti Guided Fiber Lasers
M. Bass and M. C. Richardson

• Very large core diameter and consequently huge
  lowest order mode area!
• Negligible nonlinear losses.
• Very robust lowest order mode oscillation M2
  less than 1.5.
• Readily scalable with side pumping from 100 W to
  multi-kW!
• Compact packaging compatible with thermal
  management of both pump sources and gain medium.

Principles of Gain Guided Lasing in an Index Anti
Guided Fiber M. Bass and M. C. Richardson
Index anti guided fibers have core index less
than clad. Must create sufficient gain for lowest
order mode to be lossless and then enough more to
oscillate. Excellent mode discrimination results
when there is gain.

• Mode area comparison
• Standard fiber techniques 500 mm2
• Heroic experiments 2000 3000 mm2
• Our 200 micron diameter core, lowest order Bessel
  function mode 15,000 mm2

• Program Goals
• Develop kW class eye-safe fiber lasers.
• Focus on novel materials and designs.
• Guiding Principles Large mode area, purely
  single mode, single frequency, and polarization,
  minimize nonlinear effects, buffer coating
  greater then 200C stability.

• Fundamental Significance
• Focus on erbium 1.55 mm emission and thulium
  2-for-1 emission at 2 mm.
• Silica and non-silica materials focusing on (a)
  multicores and (b) gain-guiding.

developed the optical design. Provides an 80
increase in the number of spatial resolution
elements in the solar disc over that provided by
the baseline design.
CREOLs Role in SXI Program
Fabrication of Grazing Incidence Mirrors
Re-defined appropriate image quality
requirement for wide-field X-ray imaging
applications. Developed new X-ray telescope
design that yields an 80 increase in performance
over the NOAA Baseline Design. Developed a
scalar non-paraxial surface scatter theory and
applied it to the analysis of SXI image quality.
Continued to provide general technical
support by monitoring mirror surface metrology
data and modeling the as manufactured mirrors
and optimizing final detector plane position.

• The major advantages of using photochromic
  materials in 3-D memory include high
  erasable/rewritable capability, high resolution,
  and high sensitivity.

Quantum Dots by E-Beam Lithography of Quantum
Wells
Nathan Bickel and Patrick LiKamWa
Starting with a MQW structure, e-beam lithography
and reactive ion etching are used to produce
columns of semiconductor materials with nanometer
dimensions, i.e. QDs
SEM picture of structures etched in GaAs
substrate.
AFM picture of structures fabricated in SiO2 film
deposited on GaAs substrate.
The SiO2 columns will then be used as the mask
during the etching of the semiconductor
underneath.

Photonic Diagnostics of Random Media
Aristide Dogariu
Variable Coherence Sensing
Manipulating the coherence properties of light at
subwavelength scales
Goal measure structural properties In many
situations imaging is irrelevant and only the
statistical properties are of interest!
Structural morphology is detected at
subwavelength scales. Reconstruction is
performed without moving parts for both detection
and illumination. Subwavelength resolution is
achieved from simple, far-zone power
measurements.

pendulum to teach Optics a set of about 40
demonstrations is developed
A pendulum that can swing in two directions, x
and y, and typically has slightly different
frequencies, ?x and ?y. Rotary platform and
excitation force with precise frequency greatly
enhance the scope of the phenomena to study.
Lazy Susan for rotary platform, plumb-bob and
steel 1/2?? plumbers pipes are reliable and
affordable.

• Part of this addition is for incubator space for
  companies that need daily interactions with
  faculty and students.
• Optics is working with the UCF Incubator (1 in
  country in 2004).
