Linear and nonlinear fiber propagation of partially coherent fields exhibiting temporal correlations
International audienceUsing ultrafast photonic first-order differentiator applied on a partially coherent field, we report the generation of two correlated temporal waveforms and study their correlation properties upon linear and nonlinear propagation along the two orthogonal polarization axis of a dispersive optical fiber. Temporal correlations are maintained in linear propagation whereas Kerr nonlinearity generates anti-correlated temporal intensity patterns for both partially and uncorrelated fields. Experiments are in close agreement with the theoretical analysis
Raman spectroscopy of gold nanoparticles in polycrystalline LiF film
Results of the Raman spectroscopy analysis of a new composite material based on a thin polycrystalline LiF film containing gold nanoparticles are presented. The formation of spherical gold nanoparticles in the film has been confirmed by the X-ray structural analysis and observation of the optical plasmon resonance absorption spectrum with a maximum at 534 nm. The obtained composite layers have been subjected to annealing by ruby laser (λ = 694 nm) in the spectral region on a descending long-wavelength wing of the plasmon absorption band of gold nanoparticles. Raman spectroscopy has been applied for the first time to the investigation of the modification of the shape of gold nanoparticles in LiF during laser annealing. The experimental Raman spectra are compared with calculated modes of in-phase bending vibrations generated in gold nanoparticles. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
