Harmonic holography: a new holographic principle (2008)
Pu, Ye, Centurion, Martin, Psaltis, Demetri
The process of second harmonic generation (SHG) has a unique property of forming a sharp optical contrast between noncentrosymmetric crystalline materials and other types of material, which is a...
Optical parametric generation in periodically poled KTiOPO4 via extended phase matching (2007)
Pu, Ye, Wu, Jie, Tsang, Mankei, Psaltis, Demetri
We report an experimental demonstration of optical parametric generation in a periodically poled KTiOPO4 crystal based on the principle of mirrorless optical parametric oscillation. A femtosecond...
Modulational instability in nonlinearity-managed optical media (2007)
Centurion, Martin, Porter, Mason A., Pu, Ye, Kevrekidis, P. G., Frantzeskakis, D. J., Psaltis, Demetri
We investigate analytically, numerically, and experimentally the modulational instability in a layered, cubically nonlinear (Kerr) optical medium that consists of alternating layers of glass and air....

Holographic capture of femtosecond pulse propagation (2006)
Centurion, Martin, Pu, Ye, Psaltis, Demetri
We have implemented a holographic system to study the propagation of femtosecond laser pulses with high temporal (150 fs) and spatial resolutions (4 µm). The phase information in the holograms...

Four-dimensional dynamic flow measurement by holographic particle image velocimetry (2005)
The ultimate goal of holographic particle image velocimetry (HPIV) is to provide space- and time-resolved measurement of complex flows. Recent new understanding of holographic imaging of small...
Self-organization of spatial solitons (2005)
Centurion, Martin, Pu, Ye, Psaltis, Demetri
We present experimental results on the transverse modulation instability of an elliptical beam propagating in a bulk nonlinear Kerr medium, and the formation and self-organization of spatial...
Dynamics of filament formation in a Kerr medium (2005)
Centurion, Martin, Pu, Ye, Tsang, Mankei, Psaltis, Demetri
We have studied the large-scale beam breakup and filamentation of femtosecond pulses in a Kerr medium. We have experimentally monitored the formation of stable light filaments, conical emission, and...

Holographic recording of laser-induced plasma (2004)
Centurion, Martin, Pu, Ye, Liu, Zhiwen, Psaltis, Demetri, Hänsch, Theodor W.
We report on a holographic probing technique that allows for measurement of free-electron distribution with fine spatial detail. Plasma is generated by focusing a femtosecond pulse in air. We also...
