偏振模色散模拟器的特性

通过对微分群时延差(DGD)统计特性和偏振模色散(PMD)矢量自相关函数的数值模拟，分析比较了目前常用的三种PMD模拟器的性能. 结果表明：在DGD分布方面，由DGD发生器构成的模拟器，一个DGD发生器就可与实际光纤PMD的统计特性相符合，而由保偏光纤和可旋转的连接器构成的模拟器则至少需要15段. 在自相关函数方面，基于保偏光纤的模拟器取决于各段光纤的延时量，而基于DGD发生器的模拟器在中心频带外的自相关值很平稳，可视为常数. 关键词： 光纤通信 偏振模色散 偏振模色散模拟器 自相关函数

应用全矢量有限元方法,分析了椭圆形高折射率芯Bragg光纤的偏振和色散特性,详细讨论了光纤结构参量对模式双折射的影响,结果发现：椭圆形高折射率芯Bragg光纤的模式双折射在10－3量级,比传统保偏光纤高出一个量级,且随波长的增加而单调递增;模式双折射随包层低折射率材料填充比的增加而减小,但与包层周期的变化几乎无关.此外,提高椭圆率或材料间的折射率比可显著增强模式双折射.研究结果有助于设计高性能的一维微结构保偏光纤.     

保偏光纤和偏振器对传输光光谱的影响

保偏光纤和偏振器的参数以及它们之间的连接角度对传输光的光谱特性有重要的影响。利用琼斯矩阵建立了光波的传输模型,首次讨论了光波偏振度、光纤长度、光纤之间以及光纤与器件之间的对轴角度等对输出光谱的影响。研究表明,当光纤之间或光纤与器件之间的对轴角度不为零时,完全非偏振光的输出光谱形状不会发生改变,而偏振或部分偏振光波的输出光谱中叠加了周期函数。对轴角度一定时,光纤越长,周期函数的周期越小;光纤长度一定时,在一定的范围内,对轴角度越大,周期函数的幅值越大。通过实验对结论进行了验证。结论对采用保偏光纤和偏振器的系统具有理论指导意义。

Influence of fluorescent dye on the linear polarization direction of stimulated Raman Stokes scattering in liquid‐core optical fibers

We present a simple analytical model to describe the stimulated Raman Stokes scattering (SRS) linear polarization spectroscopy of fluorescent dye solutions in liquid‐core optical fibers (LCOFs). In this scheme, the linear polarization direction of the pump pulse is set parallel to the y‐axis through a straight polarization‐maintaining LCOF, in which the energy of the total optical field is kept invariant, and different fluorescence dyes are used to generate different first‐order Stokes intensities. We demonstrate the SRS of all‐trans‐β‐carotene and fluorescein in carbon disulfide (CS₂) solutions due to the optical field‐induced reorientation effect, which makes the first‐order Stokes polarization direction rotate by an angle of 88° or 61°, respectively. This demonstrates the good agreement between the theory presented and the experiment. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Scattering loss in Nd-doped silica based optical fibers

Rare-earth doped fibers suffer from relatively high attenuation in comparison to conventional communication fibers. In order to improve the properties of such fibers, understanding of the mechanisms involved in scattering effects is of great importance. The effect of Nd-doping, Al-codoping and of the drawing temperature on the scattering effect was investigated for several different optical fibers. To this end a measuring setup was realized which allows absolute measurements of the scattering coefficient at different positions along a fiber. Also separation of total attenuation and scattering effects is possible. The presented results indicate scattering effects as primary source for increased attenuation compared with undoped fibers.

Polarization-resolved analysis of the characteristics of a Raman laser made with a polarization maintaining fiber

We derive a simple model describing steady characteristics of Raman fiber lasers made with polarization maintaining fibers. We show both theoretically and experimentally that this kind of laser simply consists of two independent Raman lasers linearly polarized along the fiber birefringence axes. The output power characteristics of the laser are shown not to be influenced by optical Kerr effect. Finally, we use our model to propose answers to questions recently raised about efficiency of Raman lasers made with polarization maintaining fibers.     

Ge-codoped fibers for mitigating stimulated Brillouin scattering in high power fiber amplifiers

Rare-earth doped fibers for high power fiber amplifiers normally have a small refractive index difference between the core and inner cladding, but have a larger core diameter than conventional telecom fibers. We take advantage of this feature as well as the difference between the optical and acoustic waveguides and proposed several fiber designs to mitigate Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) to produce higher output powers. The numerical modeling shows that an increase in SBS threshold by 3-6 dB can be achieved using Ge-codopant while maintaining diffraction limited beam quality. The key parameters that can affect the SBS performance are specified and optimal parameters for SBS suppression are obtained. The study also highlights the need to take into account the effects of minor refractive index profile variation in evaluating SBS performance.
