Defect Bragg Fiber With Low Loss for Broadband and Zero Dispersion Slow Light

Narrow bandwidth and large group velocity (v_g) dispersion are two fatal limitations of slow light in Bragg fibers. In this paper, by introducing a well-designed defect layer into the cladding of the Bragg fiber, the modal characteristics are modified by the coupling between the core mode and the defect mode. The defect location mainly determines the coupling strength and, thus, exerts a strong influence on v_g and dispersion. The defect thickness mainly determines the resonant wavelength of the defect waveguide and, thus, the wavelength where the modal coupling takes place. Consequently, the two limitations of the slow-light propagation in the Bragg fiber are overcome through proper optimization of the defect parameters. Around 1550 nm, a slow-light bandwidth up to 90 nm is achieved at an average v_g of c/5 (c is the light velocity in a vacuum) under N = 2, whereas an average v_g of c/10 is achieved with a bandwidth of 20 nm under N = 5. On the other hand, the slow-light propagation of v_g = 0.074c with both zero dispersion and zero dispersion slope is achieved, which is able to support applications requiring a subterahertz bandwidth of optical pulse. All of the fiber designs ensure sufficient low losses and good optical field distribution. The results are helpful in developing various Bragg-fiber-based slow-light devices.

Rotary propagation characteristics of light in multimode- single mode-multimode fiber structures using ray tracing method

The mode theory is the main way to study the propagation characteristics of light in fiber so far, but it is not suitable for analysis of light in duct. By using ray-tracing method, the rotary propagation characteristics of light in multimode-single mode-multimode (MSM) fiber structures are analyzed in this paper. Firstly, the light ray in fiber can propagate around an inscribed circle, and the central axis of this fiber is the propagation axis. Secondly, the radius of the inscribed circle is decided by both incident angle and incident position, and its variation is between 0 and RM, where RM is the radius of the multimode fiber. Lastly, the bigger the ratio of core and cladding diameter is, the higher the propagation efficiency is.     

Bending effects in biconically tapered single-mode fibers

Biconically tapered single-mode fibers were fabricated, and their characteristics were studied experimentally. The optical throughput was measured as the fiber was being pulled to produce the required radial profile. The tapered single-mode fiber was bent in a simple fixture, and the optical throughput was measured as a function of the bending angle. It is seen that the bending resulted in very strong oscillations of the optical power as the bend angle was varied. At the point when the light in the core was minimal, the cladding region was bright, indicating that the light has moved to the cladding. The propagation characteristics of the tapered single-mode fiber subjected to bending are analyzed using a stepwise approximation. A simple sensor based on this principle is discussed

UV-Inscribed Optical Fiber Gratings in Mid-IR Range and Their Laser Applications

We have UV-inscribed fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), long-period gratings (LPGs), and tilted fiber gratings (TFGs) into mid-IR 2m range using three common optical fiber grating fabrication techniques (two-beam holographic, phase mask, and point-by-point). The fabricated FBGs have been evaluated for thermal and strain response. It has been revealed that the FBG devices with responses in mid-IR range are much more sensitive to temperature than that in near-IR range. To explore the unique cladding mode coupling function, we have investigated the thermal and refractive index sensitivities of LPGs and identified that the coupled cladding modes in mid-IR range are also much more sensitive to temperature and surrounding medium refractive index change. The 45 tilted fiber gratings (45-TFGs) as polarizing devices in mid-IR have been investigated for their polarization extinction characteristics. As efficient reflection filters and in-cavity polarizers, the mid-IR FBGs and 45-TFGs have been employed in fiber laser cavity to realize multi-wavelength 2 m Tm-doped CW and mode locked fiber lasers, respectively.
