Saturable absorption properties of multi-layered Graphene is used to generate ultrashort pulses. Rational harmonic mode-locking was first used to generate laser pulses of 20-GHz and 50-GHz repetition rates in the two experiments, which were then passed through graphene layers in the fiber ring laser cavity, yielding the pulse compression. Numerical simulations were carried out that solved the Generalized Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation to model the pulse propagation in the fiber optic setup. The computation involved varying the various saturable absorption parameters, such as linear and non-linear absorption coefficients. The simulations and experiments both demonstrate a reduction of pulse-width from 5.3-ps to 2.8-ps and 2.7-ps.

A 30-GHz pulse-train is generated using the rational harmonic mode-locking technique, experimentally, using a Mach-Zehnder Lithium Niobate modulator. The width of the pulses is then reduced from 5.8-ps to 1.9-ps by incorporating nonlinear polarization rotation. This phenomenon arises due to the very high nonlinear behavior of the photonic crystal fiber (PCF) added to the ring laser cavity. Numerically solving the Generalized Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation provided insights into the pulse evolution behavior. The relative polarization angle and length of the PCF were varied to study their effects on the pulse-width.

Dr. Milton Chang has many years of hands- on experience in leading development of complex
software-centric systems. He has in depth background in Hardware, Firmware, and Software
design including integration and testing. Recent accomplishments include the development of
‘Voice Activated Database Query System’ using Mobile Phone & Servers, a Patented ‘Pain
Management Systems’ for treating Chronic Neuropathic Pain, and AI/ML based ‘Revenue Cycle
Management Systems’.
Dr. Chang was one of industry invited speakers in 2018 IEEE UEMCON in Columbia University and his
speech was titled “The Art of Possible – IoT, AI & Blockchain”. He was also a keynote speaker in
2019 CMOC conference in Connecticut and his presentation was on Blockchain.
His prior successful start-up includes TranSwitch Corporation, Shelton, CT, which went public in
1995; Systems on Silicon, Inc. (SOSI) located in Princeton, NJ, which was acquired by TranSwitch
in 2002; and Opulan Technologies which was a Communication IC startup with R&D in Shanghai
that merged with Atheros/Qualcomm in 2009.
Dr. Chang received his BS in Electrical Engineering from National Cheng-Kong University in
Taiwan and Ph.D. from Michigan State University also in Electrical Engineering. Dr. Chang has
been granted 20+ US patents and has several additional patents pending. His current research
interests are in the areas of IoT/IoE, Blockchain and Machine Learning – especially the
convergence of these three technologies.
