Fast optical switching via stimulated Raman adiabatic passage

We demonstrate a new approach to fast optical switching with a technique based on stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in which a laser pulse switches the probe field on and off via another coupling pulse. This new kind of optical switching is not limited by the decay rate of an excited state and can operate in the subnanosecond time domain. The experimental observation in Rb atomic vapor is in good agreement with numerical simulations.

Numerical analysis of four-wave mixing between picosecond mode-locked laser pulses in a tensile-strained bulk SOA

A numerical model of four-wave mixing between picosecond pulses in a tensile-strained bulk semiconductor optical amplifier is presented. The model utilizes a modified Schrödinger equation to model pulse propagation. The Schrödinger equation parameters such as the material gain first and second order dispersion, linewidth enhancement factors and optical loss coefficient were obtained using a previously developed steady-state model. The predicted four-wave mixing pulse characteristics show reasonably good agreement with experimental pulse characteristics obtained using Frequency Resolved Optical Gating. In particular simulations predict a large increase in the pulse pedestals of the FWM converted pulse, which is verified by experiment.     

Transform-limited spectral compression due to self-phase modulation in fibers

We demonstrate near-transform-limited pulse generation through spectral compression arising from nonlinear propagation of negatively chirped pulses in optical fiber. The output pulse intensity and phase were quantified by use of second-harmonic generation frequency-resolved optical gating. Spectral compression from 8.4 to 2.4 nm was obtained. Furthermore, the phase of the spectrally compressed pulse was found to be constant over the spectral and temporal envelopes, which is indicative of a transform-limited pulse. Good agreement was found between the experimental results and numerical pulse-propagation studies.

Pulse compression in dispersion-decreasing-like fibers

Pulse compression characteristics in dispersion-decreasing-like fibers (DDLF) are firstly investigated by employing the second-harmonic generation frequency-resolved optical gating (SHG-FROG) technique, are compared with the numerical results that are obtained using the split-step Fourier method. It is found that the experimental data are consistent with the numerical results. The results show that the pulse compression method is effective. The pulse can be effectively compressed and its spectrum can be broadened in the DDLF. That the pulse compression effect is enhanced with the increase of the input power is in correspondence with the spectrum broadening.

An improved harmonic mode-locked Semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) fiber ring lasers has been presented and numerically investigated based on the self-reproduction theory. The numerical result shows that a narrower optical pulse train with a more symmetrical-temporal shape can be obtained, when the modulation SOA is DC biased on high current, whereas the gain SOA is DC biased on the low current functions as a gain compensator in the experimental setup. Also, the system parameters effects on the characteristic of the harmonic mode-locked pulse have been investigated.

Design and analysis of coherent OCDM en/decoder based on photonic crystal

The design and performance analysis of a new coherent optical en/decoder based on photonic crystal (PhC) for optical code -division -multiple (OCDM) are presented in this paper. In this scheme, the optical pulse phase and time delay can be flexibly controlled by photonic crystal phase shifter and time delayer by using the appropriate design of fabrication. According to the PhC transmission matrix theorem, combination calculation of the impurity and normal period layers is applied, and performances of the PhC-based optical en/decoder are also analyzed. The reflection, transmission, time delay characteristic and optical spectrum of pulse en/decoded are studied for the waves tuned in the photonic band-gap by numerical calculation. Theoretical analysis and numerical results indicate that the optical pulse is achieved to properly phase modulation and time delay, and an auto-correlation of about 8 dB ration and cross-correlation is gained, which demonstrates the applicability of true pulse phase modulation in a number of applications.
