双泵浦光子晶体光纤参量放大研究

利用光子晶体光纤在不同零色散波长附近具有不同色散的特性,研究了在零色散波长为780 nm和1550 nm附近的双泵浦光子晶体光纤参量放大过程.在780 nm附近,讨论了零色散波长变化对双泵浦光子晶体光纤参量放大的影响.数值模拟结果表明:当零色散波长发生微小的变化时,信号增益谱带宽会发生很大的变化.当两泵浦光之间的波长差值减小时,零色散波长的变化对参量放大的影响在很大程度上可以得到抑制,但是增益带宽会有一定的减小.依据这一原理,在1550 nm附近设计光子晶体光纤中的色散平坦光纤参量放大,在5 m长的光子晶体光纤中,当峰值功率为10 W时,得到了增益为65 dB,带宽达到420 nm且极为平坦的增益谱.

It has potential applications in many fields, especially in optical communications and multispectral and hyperspectral imaging systems.

Novel split-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier

In this paper we design a 120 nm bandwidth erbium-doped fiber amplifier using a seed light injection method for the first time. It is shown that when the wavelength of the seed light varies from 1520 to 1570 nm, the gain at 1610 nm reaches maximum near 1553 nm and increases as the seed light power. Based on the method, a novel split-band EDFA configuration is designed. The split-band architecture employs a 1550/1610 nm waveband multiplexer/demultiplexer and two independent sub-bands which pass in parallel through separate branches of the optical amplifier. The signals at independent sub-bands are combined and flattened before output, resulting in a broadband gain-flattened optical amplifier with 120 nm bandwidth.     

非对称型光学交错梳状滤波器

提出了一种基于Gires-Tournois腔的非对称型光学交错梳状滤波器。理论上,通过调整两个波片的偏振延迟和Gires-Tournois腔的反射率,可以获得任意光谱带宽比的非对称型交错梳状滤波器件。分别对输出带宽比M=1∶3和M=1∶7的非对称型交错梳状滤波器的输出进行了数值模拟,确定两个波片的延迟和Gires-Tournois腔的反射率。分别设计和研制出了输出光谱带宽比M=1∶3和M=1∶7的器件,其中M=1∶3器件的两个输出通道的3 dB带宽分别为0.385 nm和1.161 nm,比值为M=1∶3.02,M=1∶7器件的两个输出通道的3 dB带宽分别为0.191 nm和1.331 nm比值M=1∶6.75。实验结果(光谱带宽比)与设计要求基本符合。     

Amplification of fluorescence using collinear picosecond optical parametric amplification at degeneracy

We demonstrate the output characteristic of broadband parametric amplification of incoherent light pulses in a 355-nm pumped degenerate picosecond optical parametric amplification with either saturated or unsaturated amplification.The optical parametric amplifier is seeded by the fluorescence generated in a solution of pyridine-1 dye in ethanol.With the saturated amplification,we can obtain high energy incoherent light pulses,whose full width at half maximum bandwidth varies from 16 nm to 53 nm for the different phase matching angles near degeneracy.Moreover,the unsaturated bandwidth of the amplified pulses fits well to the calculated result at degeneracy.Selecting s-polarized fluorescence with a Glan-Taylor prism,the maximum bandwidth of the amplified fluorescence is found to be 59 nm for a purely s-polarized seed.The maximum output energy is 0.67 mJ for the optical parametric amplifier.By using an optical filter and compressor,the generated high energy incoherent light has great potential as the incoherent pump,signal or idler wave of a parametric down-conversion process,so that a wave with a high degree of coherence can be generated from an incoherent pump light.

Gain-flattened S-band depressed cladding erbium doped fiber amplifier with a flat bandwidth of 12 nm using a Tunable Mach-Zehnder Filter

S-band amplification is an important area of optical communications research, focusing on meeting the ever-increasing demands for traffic bandwidth as the C- and L-bands approaches to their limits. In this paper a novel method of providing an S-band optical amplifier with a flat gain-bandwidth is proposed. The proposed method utilizes a Depressed Cladding Erbium Doped Fibre together with a Tunable Mach-Zehnder Filter as to generate a flat amplification bandwidth of 12 nm stretching from 1492 to 1504 nm. The average gain value is approximately 24.21 dB, with a peak to peak fluctuation of 0.83 dB and a noise figure ranges from 7.13 to 10.94 dB for input signals of 1484 to 1510 nm.     

120 nm Bandwidth Erbium-doped Fiber Amplifier

A new dual band erbium-doped fiber amplifier configuration that provides 120 nm of optical bandwidth is simulated. This configuration employs a split-band architecture in which optical signals are splitted using a 1550/1610 nm port filter into two independent sub-bands which then pass in parallel through separate branches of the optical amplifier. Each branch may be optimized for the sub-band that traverses it. The independent sub-bands are combined and flattened before output, resulting in a 120 nm bandwidth gain-flattened optical amplifier.     

宽面积垂直腔半导体光放大器

在反射模式下,对于970 nm宽面积垂直腔半导体光放大器(VCSOA)的增益和带宽特性进行了实验研究和分析。当注入电流为57％阈值电流、信号输入功率为0.7 W,取得了24.8 dB的放大,测得的放大器的带宽为0.14 nm。实验中测量的增益值大于理论计算值,这是由于宽面积垂直腔光放大器内存在多个横向模式,每个模式都有相应的放大,所以总的增益大于理论计算的某个模式的增益。这种宽面积垂直腔光放大器不仅可以提高增益,而且还能提高信号光的饱和输入功率。对970 nm宽面积VCSOA的结构进行了优化设计,模拟结果表明,要提高半导体激光器的增益和带宽,可以通过适当降低垂直腔面发射激光器的上DBR的反射率来获得。

UWB monocycle pulse generation using two-photon absorption in a silicon waveguide

We propose and experimentally demonstrate ultrawideband monocycle pulse generation using nondegenerate two-photon absorption in a silicon waveguide. The free-carrier absorption induced pulse tail at the rising edge of inverted probe pulse is largely compensated by the overlapped pump pulse and results in a symmetric negative monocycle pulse. A 143 ps Gaussian monocycle pulse is successfully obtained with a 131.7% fractional 10 dB bandwidth using a 68 ps pulsed pump. The 10 dB bandwidth and center frequency of the RF spectrum for the generated monocycle pulse can be largely tuned using an optical delay line. An operational bandwidth of 30 nm is demonstrated experimentally with stable performance, and larger optical bandwidth is expected.

From selective to wide-band light reflection: a simple thermal diffusion in a glassy cholesteric liquid crystal

Due to their helicoidal structure, cholesteric liquid crystals exhibit remarkable optical properties. Selective light reflection occurs when the pitch (repeat distance) is of the order of the wavelength of incident light propagating along the helix axis. The wavelength bandwidth, due to the optical anisotropy, is typically limited to 50 nm which is insufficient for some applications (full-colors displays, for example). By introducing a pitch gradient in the helix during a novel two-step process in a cholesteric glass, we show that reflection may occur over a wavelength bandwidth greater than 300 nm. First, the reflection bandwidth is adjusted by thermal annealing. Then, the optical properties are permanently stored by quenching the viscous material to a glass at room temperature. The two steps, pitch gradient establishment and film hardening, are independently controlled. The present process exhibits some reversibility and properties intrinsic to the glassy state are gained: laser-writing high resolution full-color images on solid films for image recording or high-density optical data-storage are indeed conceivable.
