Mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in highly nonlinear chalcogenide fibers. Abstract: Interest in mid-infrared broadband laser light sources has surged due to applications in trace gas detection, free-space communications, and countermeasures. Progress in supercontinuum generation leverages fiber-based near-infrared and bulk-optic mid-infrared pump sources. In this paper, Generalized Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation has been solved, using the Split Step Fourier Method, to simulate the pulse propagation and mid-infrared supercontinuum generation, inside a fiber composed of highly nonlinear As2Se3/As2S3 chalcogenide glass. Effect of various parameters, including the nonlinearity, group velocity Dispersion, input power and pulse-width, anomalous and normal dispersion pumping regime, etc. on the output supercontinuum bandwidth has been extensively studied. A tapered chalcogenide fiber is modeled to facilitate continuous simultaneous modification of the GVD and the Kerr nonlinearity parameter. Pumping the waveguides with 230-fs secant pulses at a peak power of 4.2-kW yield a mid-IR supercontinuum extending from ~1 to ~10 micrometers.

A series of inverters can be chained together in a long loop, which was used to create a Physical Unclonable Function (PUF). Since each transistor is unique in the time it takes to relay the inverted signal, any chain will have its own unique cycle time. This unique cycle time can be used to create a security step that is bound by hardware, meaning that it is less prone to hacking. In this project, we compare two inverter loops and prove the premise of the PUFs. To accomplish this, multiple inverters were used along with multiplexers and counters for each loop, and a comparator was used to prove that two rings of the same size have differences.
