In this paper, transmission spectrum and output intensity profile of a 1D photonic crystal micro-cavity is studied by using the transfer matrix method. It is shown that the transmission spectrum characteristics of the structure irradiated by a Gaussian beam are noticeably different from the plane-wave irradiation transmission spectrum. A ring-shape output intensity profile is observed under irradiation of a common Gaussian beam profile. The various characteristics of output intensity profile are investigated.

In this paper, the nonlinear responses and optical properties modification in SK3 glass sample are investigated. The nonlinear responses measurements were performed by using of nonlinear transmission monitoring of 200 fs at 800 nm laser pulses. The optical power limiting threshold of the sample is measured to be about 40 mJ/cm2. The decrease of transmitted intensity is about 63% compared to the theoretical linear transmission at 270 mJ/cm2 incident pulse energy. For prediction of the experimental nonlinear behavior results, a theoretical model based on three-photon absorption and absorption of free carriers is presented. By fitting of experimental data with theoretical model, three-photon absorption coefficient and free-carrier absorption cross-section are reported. The photo-induced optical properties modification of the SK3 sample is investigated also. The modifications that appear as darkening are observed below breakdown threshold intensity. To analyses of modified region sizes, the laser pulse energy accumulation model is applied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the photochromic oxide glass sample under interaction of 200 fs laser pulses at 800 nm wavelength is studied. Two types of laser-induced modifications, bleaching and darkening, are observed. The induced darkening is observed inside the bleached volume. The effect of incident laser shot number and pulse energy on the bleached and darkened area are investigated. The pulse energy accumulation model is applied to investigation of both bleached and darkened area sizes. The bleaching and darkening modification fluence threshold are determined for single and multi-shot laser pulses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
