55 results about "Spontaneous emission" patented technology

Spontaneous emission is the process in which a quantum mechanical system (such as an atom, molecule or subatomic particle) transitions from an excited energy state to a lower energy state (e.g., its ground state) and emits a quantised amount of energy in the form of a photon. Spontaneous emission is ultimately responsible for most of the light we see all around us; it is so ubiquitous that there are many names given to what is essentially the same process. If atoms (or molecules) are excited by some means other than heating, the spontaneous emission is called luminescence. For example, fireflies are luminescent. And there are different forms of luminescence depending on how excited atoms are produced (electroluminescence, chemiluminescence etc.). If the excitation is affected by the absorption of radiation the spontaneous emission is called fluorescence. Sometimes molecules have a metastable level and continue to fluoresce long after the exciting radiation is turned off; this is called phosphorescence. Figurines that glow in the dark are phosphorescent. Lasers start via spontaneous emission, then during continuous operation work by stimulated emission.

Monitor window in ASE injection seed

A reconfigurable optical add / drop multiplexer using a wavelength selective switch (WSS) component to multiplex wavelength channels into a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signal. When a given channel is dropped, an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) injection signal is multiplexed as a ghost channel into the WDM signal. The ASE injection channel can mitigate polarization hole burning and can provide a fuller power spectrum density. However, the ASE injection channel also defines a monitoring window. As an optical channel monitor (OCM) monitors the WDM signal, the OCM can detect, within the monitoring window, any underlying characteristic of the given wavelength channel. In this instance in response to the detected characteristic, the WSS component switches from multiplexing the ghost channel into the WDM signal to multiplexing the given wavelength channel into the WDM signal.
