  • The study reports on the design and performance of two air-filled and two partial ethanol-filled photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structures with a tetra core for supercontinuum generation. The PCFs are nonlinear with ultra-flattened zero dispersion. Holes with smaller areas are used to create a tetra-core PCF structure. Ethanol is filled in the holes of smaller area while the larger holes of cladding region are airfilled. Optical properties including dispersion, effective mode area, confinement loss, normalized frequency, and nonlinear coefficient of the designed PCF structures are investigated via full vector finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. A PCF structure with lead silicate as wafer exhibits significantly better results than a PCF structure with silica as wafer. However, both structures report dispersion at a telecommunication wavelength corresponding to 1.55 ㎛. Furthermore, the PCF structure with lead silicate as wafer exhibits a very high nonlinear coefficient corresponding to 1375 W-1 km-1 at the same wavelength. This scheme can be used for optical communication systems and in optical devices by exploiting the principle of nonlinearity.

  • Nonlinear optical properties of TeO2-PbO-GeO2 glasses were investigated and their correlation with struc-tural modification was investigated. Third-order nonlinear susceptibility $\chi$, ranged between 5.0$\times$10-13 esu and 10.7$\times$10-13 esu which are approximately 20-40 times larger than that of silica glass. The glass with a composition of 85(80TeO2-20PbO)-15GeO2(mol%) seemed to provide an optimum compromise between $\chi$and the stability against crystallization. Analyses of the Raman spectra suggested that these glasses are mainly composed of [TeO4] tbp, [TeO3]tp and [GeO4] tetrahedral structural units. It was concluded that the positive contribution of Pb2+ with high polarizability to $\chi$ in TeO2-PbO glasses overwhelmed the negative influence due to the structural modification of [TeO4]tbplongrightarrow[TeO3]tp. On the other hand addition of GeO2 in TeO2-PbO-GeO2 glasses resulted in the decrease of $\chi$ values. This behavior was attributed to the formation of [GeO4] polyhedra at the expense of [TeOn] polyhedra and Pb2+ ions which normally sowed a higher contribu-tion to $\chi$ than [GeO4] polyhedra.

  • The microscopic origin of nonlinear optical properties of quinoline derivatives have been investigated theoretically using MOPAC-AM1 method. In order to prepare promising nonlinear optical active polymers of polyquinoline derivatives, the optimized positions of strong electron donor and electron acceptor are determined in the heterocyclic ring for the energetically favorable structures. For each compound, the effect of the substituted positions on the microscopic nonlinear coefficients were investigated. Polyquinoline was already evaluated to have outstanding physical and mechanical properties so that its monomeric analogues were designed and synthesized for developing new second and third order nonlinear optical main chain polymers. Using the MOPAC-AM1 method, properties calculated include the intrinsic ground-state dipole moments, the polarizabilities, first and second hyperpolarizabilities under the condition of finite-field $(\omega$ = 0).

  • A single-layer neural network with 4$\times$4 input neurons and 4 output neurons is optically implemented. Holographic lenslet arrays are used for the e optical interconnection topology, a liquid crystal light valve(LCLV) is used for controlling optical interconection weights. Using a Perceptron learning rule, it classifics input patterns into 4 different categories. It is shown that the performance of the adaptive neural network depends on the learning rate, the correlation of input patterns, and the nonlinear characteristic properties of the liquid crystal light valve.

  • We show for the first time the optical properties of the selectively oxidized vertical cavity laser (VCL) - depleted optical thyristor (DOT), which has not only a low threshold current, but also a high sensitivity to the optical input light. In order to analyze their switching characteristics, nonlinear s-shaped current-voltage characteristics are calculated and the reverse full-depletion voltages (Vneg's) are obtained as function of semiconductor parameters by using a finite difference method (FDM). The selectively oxidized PnpN VCL-DOT clearly shows the nonlinear s-shaped current-voltage and lasing characteristics. A switching voltage of 5.24 V, a holding voltage of 1.50 V, a spectral response at 854.5 nm, and a very low threshold current of 0.65 mA is measured, making these devices attractive for optical processing applications.

  • We prepared nonlinear optical (NLO) polymers possessing thermal and temporal stability, which were based on the polyimides appended with NLO chromophores. NLO chromophores with a terminal hydroxyl group have been synthesized by coupling between aminobenzene or julolidine donor and phenylene bridge, and then subsequent coupling between the resulting product and tricyanofuran acceptor. The chromophores were chemically bonded to the polyimides backbone through Mitsunobu reaction. The NLO polymers showed $160-170^{\circ}C$ of Tgs and were thermally stable up to $200^{\circ}C$. We obtained optical quality films by spincoating and evaluated their electro-optical properties and temporal stability.

  • The Cellular Nonlinear Networks structure for Distance Transform (DT) and the robust optical flow detection algorithm based on the DT are proposed. The proposed algorithm is for detecting the optical flows on the trajectories only of the feature points. The translation lengths and the directions of feature movements are detected on the trajectories of feature points on which Distance Transform Field is developed. The robustness caused from the use of the Distance Transform and the easiness of hardware implementation with local analog circuits are the properties of the proposed structure, To verify the performance of the proposed structure and the algorithm, simulation has been done about zooming image.

  • Rutile type of $TiO_{2}$ single crystal was grown by floating zone method in order to obtain the highly transparent and contamination-free single crystal. The linear refractive index of perpendicular and parallel to c-axis was measured as a function o f wavelength from 500 to 1000nm. The optical energy band gap was estimated as 2.99 eV from the absorption spectrum. The theoretical $\chi^{(3)}$} value of $TiO_{2}$ was discussed in comparison with that of $SiO_{2}$ quartz single crystal on the basis of semiempirical model. On the other hand, the second-hyperpolarizability, ${\gamma}({Ti}^{4+})$ was calculated in order to describe the effect of $Ti_{4}$ ion on the third order nonlinear optical properties.
