Attosecond pulse and beyond generation based on multi-stage micro ring resonators

Abstract

We firstly propose the simple system of an attosecond light pulse generation by using a soliton pulse circulating in the integrated micro ring devices. The ultra short pulse in the atto scale regime and its beyond can be easily generated. Simulation results obtained have shown that the generation of a very narrow pulse and sharp tip is achieved. In principle, light pulse known as soliton pulse is input into a three stage micro ring resonators, where the ring radii are within the range from 5-15 microns. With some selected parameters such as ring radius, coupling ratio and nonlinear refractive index, the attosecond pulse is generated and achieved. The potential applications of using such a narrow pulse for new generation optical lithography, high density CD writing, high resolution interferometer, surface roughness and high speed optical computing, quantum computing are discussed. © 2008 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
