A fiber Bragg grating sensor demodulation technique using apolarization maintaining fiber loop mirror

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a simple, passive, and self-referencing wavelength shift detection scheme for use in fiber Bragg grating sensing systems. The demodulation system is based on the interference between two modes in a polarization maintaining fiber loop mirror. Although it involves the use of an interference technique, it is stable compared with other conventional interference demodulators     

A novel dual-wavelength fiber Bragg grating and its application in fiber ring laser

A novel method for fabricating dual-wavelength fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) by using one phase mask is developed. The method is based on a double-exposure technique. Our technique lends itself to writing gratings with controllable reflectivity and separation of two Bragg wavelengths. A grating with two equal transmission peaks of 20.25 dB is obtained by this method and the separation of the two Bragg wavelengths is about 0.8 nm. With the grating, we demonstrate a dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser whose interval of the two peaks is 0.8 nm. The laser's peak powers can get 3.1 mW above and have a good stability.     

Tunable polarization maintaining fiber Bragg grating based OSNR monitor

A simple optical performance monitoring scheme based on a tunable polarization maintaining fiber Bragg grating is proposed. The proposed technique measures the in-band optical signal-to-noise-ratio through orthogonal polarization detection. The scheme is successfully demonstrated for NRZ-OOK signals at 10 Gb/s with an input dynamic range of around 20 dB. The results show that the performance of the scheme is not sensitive to the effects of chromatic dispersion.     

Electrically Tunable Microwave Generation Using Compact Dual-Polarization Fiber Laser

A simple technique for tunable microwave frequency generation based on a compact dual-polarization fiber grating laser incorporated with a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) is demonstrated. The PZT exerts a transversal force to the fiber grating laser which changes the fiber birefringence and, therefore, the wavelength separation between the two polarization lines. The beat tone frequency changes linearly in response to the driving voltage applied to the PZT.      

光栅参数对折射率剖面非均匀取样光纤光栅的影响

利用传输矩阵法,数值分析了光栅参数对折射率剖面非均匀的均匀光纤光栅及取样光纤光栅的透射谱、偏振关系损耗和偏振模色散的影响。计算结果表明,均匀光纤光栅的光栅条纹可见度及光栅周期对其偏振关系损耗和偏振模色散影响很大;改变取样光纤光栅的取样周期及光栅段长度,透射谐振峰的幅度、偏振关系损耗和偏振模色散的最大值均随取样光纤光栅长度的增加而递增。与靠近中心波长的谐振峰相比,折射率剖面非均匀导致的双折射对取样光纤光栅远离中心波长的谐振峰的影响较小。     

Switchable dual-wavelength ytterbium-doped fiber laser based on a few-mode fiber grating

The authors propose and demonstrate a simple switchable dual-wavelength Ytterbium-doped fiber laser based on a few-mode fiber grating. The laser can be designed to operate in stable dual-wavelength or wavelength-switching modes, due to the polarization hole burning enhanced by the few-mode fiber grating. The lasing lines may be controlled only by a polarization controller. Stable operation is achieved at room temperature when the wavelength separation is 0.9 nm.     

Transversal Loading Sensor Based on Tunable Beat Frequency of a Dual-Wavelength Fiber Laser

Microwave signal generation by using the photonic beating from a phase-shift fiber Bragg grating (PS-FBG)-based dual-wavelength laser is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The dual-wavelength laser is formed by a linear cavity, in which a PS-FBG is used as a dual-wavelength selective component. Transversal loading on the PS-FBG enhances the birefringence of the optical fiber and consequently makes the transmission peak of the PS-FBG splitting into two sharp transmission peaks of orthogonal polarizations. The wavelength spacing between the two transmission peaks increases with the transversal loading on the PS-FBG, thus making the polarization beating frequency increase. This property is exploited in a transversal loading sensor.

Fiber laser polarization tuning using a Bragg grating in a Hi-Bifiber

Single- and dual-wavelength tunable lasing (around 1552 nm) has been obtained in an Er-doped low-Bi fiber laser with a Bragg grating mirror in a Hi-Bi fiber. Equal output powers for both laser lines and spectral spacing of up to 0.26 mm, larger than the original spacing between the resonance peaks of the grating (0.2 nm), can be easily achieved by employing a polarization controller inside of the laser cavity     

Full Strain Tensor Treatment of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors

Embedded fiber Bragg gratings can be subjected to arbitrary states of strain including shear strain. Such perturbations can cause coupling between polarization modes. Coupled-mode theory in Bragg gratings so far neglected this effect and only considered forward-backward coupling. Polarization mode coupling within a Bragg grating leads to interdependencies between Bragg reflection peaks which have so far been unaddressed. We formulate a full strain tensor treatment of fiber Bragg gratings, considering the coupling of the polarization modes within the grating. We give an approximation for the coupling coefficients affecting the polarization mode coupling and numerically solve the coupled-mode equations for representative states of strain. We show in which way shear strain affects the optical response of a grating and demonstrate how the fiber's beat length influences this characteristic.

基于保偏光纤光栅的双波长掺铒光纤激光器

提出了一种基于保偏光纤(PMF)中布拉格光栅的波长间隔可调的可开关双波长掺铒光纤激光器(EDFL)。由于和光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)两个反射峰对应的不同波长的两纵模在偏振态上是止交的．从而在均匀展宽的掺铒光纤中增强了偏振烧孔(PHB)效应。这种偏振烧孔效应大大减小了不同模式之间的竞争，因此可在室温下得到稳定的双波长振荡。另一方面。通过调整偏振控制器的状态．即改变腔内的双折射状念，光纤光栅的两个反射峰强度会发生变化。基于以上原理。便形成了对激光振荡模式的选择．即通过调整偏振控制器的状态可使激光器工作在稳定的双波长状态或在两波长之间转换。通过改变加在光纤光栅上侧向应力的大小和方向．可有效控制双波长激射的波长间隔．实验中得到了0．2～1．1nm的可调间隔。
