零色散附近的交叉相位调制不稳定性分析

以三、四阶色散项的耦合非线性薛定谔方程为基础,考虑光纤损耗及高阶色散,研究了双光束在零色散附近的交叉相位调制不稳定性.理论上导出描述交叉相位调制不稳定性的色散方程,并进行数值模拟计算.结果表明：由于四阶色散的影响,在光纤的正常、反常色散区,交叉相位调制不稳定性均发生在两个频谱区.如光脉冲工作在最小群速度色散附近时,四阶色散对光纤的交叉相位调制不稳定性将起决定性作用,可使增益谱出现一个新的峰值.光纤损耗使增益的谱宽变窄.对给定的传输距离,随着光纤向零色散附近靠近,两个频谱区谱宽增加直到相互重叠.数值分析了两光波有差别时的交叉相位调制不稳定性.

LC-SLM像素型结构对4f脉冲整形系统的影响

液晶空间光调制器的离散型相位调制和像素间隙是4f脉冲整形系统的主要失真原因,基于以上因素的分析,建立了完善的4f脉冲整形系统数学模型,数值模拟了不同相位调制变化率、不同像元尺寸、不同间隙尺寸以及不同色散关系下的离散型相位调制和像素间隙导致的失真情况。模拟结果表明:离散型相位调制会导致整形脉冲中出现副本脉冲,相位调制变化率越大或像元尺寸越大均会导致这种副本脉冲越强,输出目标脉冲失真越严重;像素间隙也会导致整形脉冲中出现副本脉冲,间隙尺寸越大会导致这种副本脉冲越强,输出目标脉冲失真越严重;两种副本脉冲均呈等间隔分布,其周期由每个像元对应的频谱宽度决定,非线性光谱色散会使副本脉冲啁啾化且强度变小。

不同宽带脉冲在钕玻璃放大器中的幅频效应

宽带脉冲在钕玻璃放大器中传输时,由于受到增益窄化和增益饱和效应的影响,脉冲频谱将受到调制,从而产生边带丢失或者频谱两侧失衡,进而导致脉冲时间波形产生调制。针对不同的宽带光源模型,数值模拟了放大器输出波形的幅度调制,分析了增益带宽、输入脉冲带宽及增益曲线中心波长相对输入脉冲中心波长的偏差等因素对输出脉冲调制度的影响。结果表明:不同的宽带光源脉冲经过钕玻璃放大器后,均会产生不同程度的幅度调制;啁啾堆积脉冲比正弦相位调制脉冲产生的幅度调制小。

Polarization mode dispersion and vectorial modulational instability in air-silica microstructure fiber

The birefringence of an air-silica microstructure fiber has been studied by measurement of the fiber polarization mode dispersion (PMD) over the wavelength range 545-640 nm. The experimental results are shown to be in good agreement with vectorial numerical calculations, assuming an elliptical core with an eccentricity of 7%. We also report controlled experiments studying nonlinear vectorial modulation instability in the fiber, yielding 3.9-THz modulational instability sideband shifts that are in good agreement with theoretical predictions based on the calculated fiber dispersion and PMD characteristics.     

Enhanced sideband instability in soliton transmissions with semiconductor optical amplifiers

We show that the gain saturation of semiconductor optical amplifiers can lead to enhanced sideband instability in soliton transmissions, provided that the amplifier spacing is comparable with the dispersion length. With sliding filters the pulse can be stabilized and the radiation created is partially absorbed.     

TUNABLE FIBER FABRY-PEROT FILTER FOR OPTICAL CARRIER-SUPPRESSION AND SINGLE-SIDEBAND MODULATION IN RADIO OVER FIBER LINKS

A novel method of simultaneous realization of optical carrier-suppression and single-sideband modulation using fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter is presented. In order to enhance transmission performance of radio over fiber links, we use a fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter to filter out one sideband as well as suppress the optical carrier power. The results demonstrate 20.5dB and 14.2dB improvement in the signal noise ratios when 18GHz and 10GHz microwave signals carrying 5Mbit/s quadrature-phase-shift-keyed (QPSK) format data is transmitted over 35 km single mode fiber, respectively.     

Phase-matching analysis of four-wave mixing induced by modulation instability in a single-mode fiber

Four-wave mixing induced by modulation instability in a single-mode fiber is analyzed from the phase-matching point of view. For the two-channel transmission, a method is proposed to select the four-wave-mixing-induced sidebands, which is based on the proper use of a continuous-wave and a pulse as light sources. We find that a mass of sidebands are generated in the modulation instability resonance region, and the power of the sideband increases with not only the peak power of the pump pulse but also the continuous-wave power which acts as a seed. The research will provide guidance for fiber communication and sensing systems using wavelength division multiplexing technology.     

Effects of Direct Current Bias-Drifting on Radio on Fiber Link

The effects of direct current (dc) bias-drifting on radio on fiber (RoF) links are quantitative investigated and simulated. Single sideband (SSB) modulation and carrier suppressed double sideband (CS-DSB) modulation RoF links are considered, power variation of targeted signal and harmonic suppression on account for bias-drifting are calculated and evaluated. Our results suggest that power variation can be maintained within 1.1 dB with dc bias drift ε less than 5% in the SSB modulation RoF link and the degradation of harmonic suppression is evident with ε exceed 2% in the CS-DSB modulation RoF link.     

Flat gain spectrum design of Raman fiber amplifiers based on particle swarm optimization and average power analysis technique

In this work, the modified particle swarm optimization is used as an optimization tool to determine the set of wavelengths and power levels of pumps that delivers a flat gain spectrum for Raman fiber amplifiers. The average power analysis technique is used as a numerical method to solve the coupled Raman amplifier equations. By combining the modified particle swarm optimization and average power analysis technique an efficient algorithm for the design of flat-gain-spectrum broadband Raman fiber amplifiers is constructed. Application of this algorithm to the design of flat-gain-spectrum broadband Raman fiber amplifiers shows that the design efficiency of the new method is improved by 1-2 orders of magnitude compared with similar implementations previously reported in the literature. A 4-backward-pump gain-flattened Raman amplifier with bandwidth of 100-nm and maximum gain ripple of <1.0 dB is designed to demonstrate the technique.     

Resonant sideband generation in stretched-pulse fiber lasers

Resonant sideband production in stretched-pulse fiber lasers operating with net normal dispersion is investigated. A theoretical formulation is compared with numerical modeling and experimental results. The inherent difference from sideband generation in soliton lasers is discussed. We also consider the implications of sideband formation in related dispersion-managed soliton transmission systems.     

Generation of optical domain-wall structures from modulational instability in a bimodal fiber

We study experimentally modulational instability in a normally dispersive bimodal fiber under modal group-velocity-matching conditions. In the strong pump depletion regime, higher order sideband harmonics detected in the output spectra as well as autocorrelation measurements reveal the formation of subpicosecond domain-wall structures. Across these temporal structures the electromagnetic field distribution switches abruptly between the two transverse modes of the fiber. These structures are reminiscent of the so-called domain-wall soliton. Our results constitute therefore an experimental indication of the existence of this fundamental soliton.
