A method for extending and enhancing bright coherent high-order harmonic generation into the VUV-EUV-X-ray regions of the spectrum involves a way of accomplishing phase matching or effective phase matching of extreme upconversion of laser light at high conversion efficiency, approaching 10−3 in some spectral regions, and at significantly higher photon energies in a waveguide geometry, in a self-guiding geometry, a gas cell, or a loosely focusing geometry, containing nonlinear medium. The extension and enhancement of the coherent VUV, EUV, X-ray emission to high photon energies relies on using VUV-UV-VIS lasers of shorter wavelength. This leads to enhancement of macroscopic phase matching parameters due to stronger contribution of linear and nonlinear dispersion of both atoms and ions, combined with a strong microscopic single-atom yield.

The invention discloses a power dividing phase shifter. The power dividing phase shifter has a mixed ring structure formed by a power dividing ring and two coupling rings; the input end of the power dividing ring is used as the input of the power dividing phase shifter, the output of the power dividing ring is connected with the two parallel coupling rings, and the output ends of the coupling rings are used as the outputs of the power dividing phase shifter; the power dividing ring is provided with a plurality of corresponding loading stubs (14) for controlling a plurality of output states; each loading stub (14) is provided with a switch (15); and the corresponding loading stubs (14) are controlled by the switches (15) to output power dividing and equal difference phase signals of each state. Based on the nonlinear chromatic dispersion characteristic after the sections are loaded in a transmission line, the output of the power dividing and equal difference phase signals is realized on a micro-strip structure with power dividing function by controlling the loading stubs through the switches. The magnitude of the equal difference phase depends on the electrical length of the loading stubs. The power dividing phase shifter has compact structure, and has power dividing and phase shifting functions at the same time.

An apparatus (104) mitigates cross-channel nonlinear distortion of an optical signal (138) carried on one of a plurality of wavelength channels (118) in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) transmission system (100). The apparatus includes a first optical receiver (126) which is arranged to detect a measure (134) of aggregate optical power of the plurality of wavelength channels. A nonlinear dispersion compensator includes means (144) for applying a phase modulation to the optical signal in proportion to the measure of aggregate optical power.

The invention discloses a linear dispersion combined prism optical splitter. The linear dispersion combined prism optical splitter is formed by combining two prisms which are manufactured from special materials and coated with films on the side surfaces by a mode of enabling the bottom surfaces to be clung to each other and the film-coated surfaces to be opposite to each other. The linear dispersion combined prism optical splitter is particularly suitable for the fields of spectrum analysis, spectrum detection and related fields. The linear dispersion combined prism optical splitter is on the basis of the control variable method and differential equation concept; the spreading direction of the line and the shape of the prisms are controlled according to the dispersion property of the first prism material; the nonlinear dispersion of the first prism is compensated according to the nonlinear dispersion of the second prism so as to obtain the linear dispersion combined prism optical splitter. The linear dispersion combined prism optical splitter can overcome the defect of nonlinear dispersion of single prism and has the advantages of being wide in free spectrum range, high in light energy utilization rate, high in generality, simple in structure, and small in cost.
