S12-347 A new type of coupled guided-wave spiral-shaped interferometer for slow light and sensing applications An optical device includes at least one optical waveguide including a plurality of elongate portions. Light propagates sequentially and generally along the elongate portions. Michel Digonnet Wenqiong Guo
S18-285 Compact, Self-Cooling, Rare-Earth Doped Fiber Laser Stanford researchers leveraged anti-Stokes fluorescence cooling to design a compact, self-cooling fiber laser. Rare-earth (erbium, ytterbium, etc.) doped optical fibers are attractive optical gain providing devices (i.e. Michel Digonnet Jennifer Knall
