Abstract

The NOICE Joint Laboratory project aims to reinforce the collaboration and establish a permanent partnership between INO-CNR and Tel Aviv University in the field of nonlinear optics. The activities of the proposed Joint Laboratory are mainly focused on innovative coherent sources of optical frequency combs based on nonlinear processes, addressing the fundamental aspects of the underlying physics, and exploiting their potential as innovative sources for scientific and technological applications.

Obiettivi

Development and experimental testing of a theoretical framework, which lays the foundation for a deep comprehension of optical frequency comb generation in quadratic passive resonators and in quantum cascade lasers.
Providing a toolbox for fully designing and controlling the properties and performance of targeted miniaturized devices.
Development of millimeter-scale monolithic resonators made of ferroelectric crystals, shaped as whispering-gallery mode resonators.
Appropriate design of resonating photonic structures which can optimize flatness, emission bandwidth, and phase coherence of generated combs.
Characterized of QCL combs in terms of frequency stabilization and phase coherence.
