Patent EP-2621032-A2 (EP)
Inventor: REGELSKIS KESTUTIS
IPC: H01S3/067
Filed: 2013-01-21
Abstract: This invention relates to the field of laser technology and more particularly concerns to the sum-frequency generation method, where laser pulses are combined by adding their optical frequencies in a second-order nonlinear medium (3). In order to increase energy of generated sum-frequency pulses or to generate shorter sum-frequency pulses than initial light pulses, the initial light pulses are directed to the input side of the second-order nonlinear medium (3) in pairs or one by one. A first light pulse (1) of a pair or light pulses (1,1') passes through the nonlinear medium (3) without taking part in a nonlinear interaction and then it is returned via a delay line comprising mirrors (5,5') to the input side of the same second-order nonlinear medium (3). There, the first light pulse (1) overlaps in space and time with a second light pulse (1')of the pair of light pulses. In the nonlinear medium (3) the non-collinear sum-frequency between the two light pulses (1,1') is generated. The delay line may comprise a half-wave plate for rotating the polarisation of the first light pulse by 90°, i.e. type II phase-matching may be used. Instead of a pair of light pulses a sequence of identical laser pulses may be used. In this case, by properly setting the delay time, a pulse shortening between the generated sum-frequency and the input laser light may be achieved. This scheme may be used for pulse compression of a laser pulse stretched in time in a CPA using fibre amplifiers.

Abstract: An in-vehicle communication system employs, in addition to a first communication protocol, a second communication protocol in which, in a predetermined transmission restriction management period, communication data can only be transmitted up to a predetermined transmission time limit. A scheduling unit in the transmitting unit in the system sets an upper limit value within the transmission time limit. Times when the second communication protocol may be used are restricted on the basis of the upper limit value. When transmission of communication data by the first communication protocol is delayed by more than a preset decision reference time, the communication data are transmitted by the second communication protocol if this can be done without having the total time of usage of the second communication protocol in the transmission restriction management period exceed the upper limit value.
