Using a pair of coupled LRC cavities we experimentally demonstrate that instabilities and amplification action can be tamed by a spatially inhomogenous gain. Specifically we observe the counter-intuitive phenomenon of stabilization of the system even when the overall gain provided is increased. This behavior is directly related to lasing death via asymmetric pumping, recently proposed in [M. Liertzer {it et al}., Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 108}, 173901 (2012)]. The stability analysis of other simple systems reveals the universal nature of the lasing death phenomenon.

We simulate the pump-probe experiments of lasing in molecular nitrogen ions with particular interest on the effects of rotational wave-packet dynamics. Our computations demonstrate that the coherent preparation of rotational wave packets in N$_2^+$ b
y an intense short non-resonant pulse results in a modulation of the subsequent emission from $B^2Sigma_u^+ rightarrow X^2Sigma_g^+$ transitions induced by a resonant seed pulse. We model the dynamics of such pumping and emission using density matrix theory to describe the N$_2^+$ dynamics and the Maxwell wave equation to model the seed pulse propagation. We show that the gain and absorption of a delayed seed pulse is dependent on the pump-seed delay, that is, the rotational coherences excited by the pump pulse can modulate the gain and absorption of the delayed seed pulse. Further, we demonstrate that the coherent rotational dynamics of the nitrogen ions can cause lasing without electronic inversion.
Lasers based on biological materials are attracting an increasing interest in view of their use in integrated and transient photonics. DNA as optical biopolymer in combination with highly-emissive dyes has been reported to have excellent potential in
this respect, however achieving miniaturized lasing systems based on solid-state DNA shaped in different geometries to confine and enhance emission is still a challenge, and physico-chemical mechanisms originating fluorescence enhancement are not fully understood. Herein, a class of wavelength-tunable lasers based on DNA nanofibers is demonstrated, for which optical properties are highly controlled through the system morphology. A synergistic effect is highlighted at the basis of lasing action. Through a quantum chemical investigation, we show that the interaction of DNA with the encapsulated dye leads to hindered twisting and suppressed channels for the non-radiative decay. This is combined with effective waveguiding, optical gain, and tailored mode confinement to promote morphologically-controlled lasing in DNA-based nanofibers. The results establish design rules for the development of bright and tunable nanolasers and optical networks based on DNA nanostructures.
Weyl fermions are hypothetical two-component massless relativistic particles in three-dimensional (3D) space, proposed by Hermann Weyl in 1929. Their band-crossing points, called Weyl points, carry a topological charge and are therefore highly robust
. There has been much excitement over recent observations of Weyl points in microwave photonic crystals and the semimetal TaAs. Here, we report on the first experimental observation of Weyl points of light at optical frequencies. These are also the first observations of type-II Weyl points for photons, which have strictly positive group velocity along one spatial direction. We use a 3D structure consisting of laser-written waveguides, and show the presence of type-II Weyl points by (1) observing conical diffraction along one axis when the frequency is tuned to the Weyl point; and (2) observing the associated Fermi arc surface states. The realization of Weyl points at optical frequencies allow these novel electromagnetic modes to be further explored in the context of linear, nonlinear, and quantum optics.
We introduce modeling and simulation of the noise properties associated with types of modal oscillations induced by scaling the asymmetric gain suppression (AGS) in multimode semiconductor lasers. The study is based on numerical integration of a syst
em of rate equations of 21-oscillating modes taking account of the self- and cross-modal gain suppression mechanisms. AGS is varied in terms of a pre-defined parameter, which is controlled by the linewidth enhancement factor and differential gain. Basing on intensive simulation of the mode dynamics, we present a mapping (AGS versus current) diagram of the possible types of modal oscillations. When the laser oscillation is hopping multimode oscillation (HMMO), the spectra of relative intensity noise (RIN) of the total output and hopping modes are characterized by a sharp peak around the relaxation oscillation (RO) frequency and a broad peak around the hopping frequency. The levels of RIN in the regimes of single-mode oscillation (SMO) are much lower than those under HMMO, and the mode-partition noise is two order of magnitudes lower.
We report the experimental demonstration of the induced polarization-dependent optical vortex beams. We use the Talbot configuration as a method to probe this effect. In particular, our simple experiment shows the direct measurement of this observati
on. Our experiment can exhibit clearly the combination between the polarization and orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of light. This implementation might be useful for further studies in the quantum system or quantum information.
