基于双折射晶体的光交叉波分复用器

光交叉波分复用器能够把一组DWDM光信号分解成两组奇偶信道输出 ,或反之。双折射晶体的设计关健部分由两个光轴成 45°的波片A和B组成。入射光信号经过偏振分束器和偏振元件处理后 ,在A波片中形成o光、e光并产生位相差。在B波片中再次分解并发生干涉形成奇偶信道光输出。A波片厚度决定位相差从而决定输出信道间隔。用两片光轴垂直或相同但不同材料的波片按一定的厚度组合代替波片A可消除输出频率间隔的温度漂移。基于双折射晶体的设计是实现商用化光交叉波分复用器的有效途径。

Analysis of retroreflector-introduced spectrum distortion in birefringent crystal-based interleaver filters

Spectrum distortion in a birefringent crystal-based interleaver filter introduced by the right-angle total internal reflection retroreflector is studied. The phase shift between two perpendicularly polarized components of the polarized light incident onto the retroreflector is calculated. The sensitivity of the phase shift to the incident angle for different materials from which the retroreflector is made is also considered. This study indicates that the phase shift is less sensitive to the incident angle for retroreflectors having a higher index of refraction, suggesting a fixed-phase compensator that can be used to cancel out the phase shift introduced by the retroreflector to recover the interleaver filter's spectrum. The fold-back 50 GHz channel spacing birefringent crystal interleaver filter is fabricated to demonstrate that the spectrum distortion due to the phase shift introduced by retroreflector can be eliminated by a phase compensator.     

Simple system for evaluating retardation of liquid crystal cells using grating type liquid crystal polarization splitters

We propose a unique optical system for measuring the retardation of birefringent films using a pair of liquid crystal (LC) gratings; that is, the examined birefringent films are inserted between two LC gratings. Because the LC grating functions as a polarization beam splitter for circularly polarized light, the proposed system is optically equivalent to the measurement system using a pair of two circular polarizers. First, the polarization splitting performance of the LC grating is discussed. It is found that a sufficiently high voltage (such that the retardation is less than a half wavelength) has to be applied for the almost pure circularly polarized diffracted light. Next, the measurement of the retardation of a homogeneous LC cell as an examined birefringent film was demonstrated using the proposed method. The proposed method is revealed to have the same measurement performance as that of the conventional method using a pair of linear polarizers and has an advantage that there is no need for the optic axis of the test birefringent specimen to be set at a specific angle.     

A flat-top birefringent interleaver based on ring-cavity architecture

We propose and demonstrate a flat-top 25-GHz birefringent interleaver using a novel ring-cavity architecture. The ring-cavity provides the phase shifts needed to achieve a flat-top spectral passband at the output. Fresnel reflectivities (for s- and p-polarization states) at the prism-air interface of the ring cavity are employed so that highly accurate thin-film coatings are not needed for the phase shifts. By choosing the appropriate incident angle near the Brewster angle, the optimum interface reflectivities for flat passbands and low crosstalk can be obtained. The ring cavity based interleaver in a 25-GHz channel spacing application exhibits a 0.5-dB passband larger than 0.14 nm, a 25-dB stopband greater than 0.14 nm, and a channel isolation higher than 28 dB over the entire C-band.     

Birefringent interleaver with a ring cavity as a phase-dispersion element

We propose and demonstrate a novel ring-cavity-based flat-top birefringent interleaver. A single ring cavity provides the two phase shifts needed, each for a polarization state, to achieve a flat-top spectral passband at the output. Fresnel reflectivities (for s- and p-polarization states) at the prism interface of the ring cavity are employed so that highly accurate thin-film coatings are not needed for the phase shifts. By choosing the appropriate incident angle near the Brewster angle, we can obtain the optimum interface reflectivities for flat passbands and extremely low cross talk. We also present the results of our experimental investigations of a flat-top 25-GHz optical interleaver that uses a novel ring cavity architecture. In a 25-GHz channel spacing application the interleaver exhibits a 0.5-dB passband larger than 0.14 nm (17.5 GHz), a 25-dB stopband greater than 0.14 nm (17.5 GHz), and channel isolation better than 28 dB over the entire C band.

Optical interleaver based on directional coupler in a 2D photonic crystal slab with triangular lattice of air holes

A small-size optical interleaver based on directional coupler in a 2D photonic crystal slab with triangular lattice of air holes is designed and theoretically simulated using plane wave expansion and finite-difference time-domain method. The interleaver is formed by two parallel and identical photonic crystal slab waveguides which are separated by three rows of air holes. The coupling region is designed below the light line to avoid vertical radiation. The simulated results show that the coupling coefficient is increased and the final length of the interleaver is decreased by enlarging the radius of the middle row of air holes. The transmission properties are analyzed after the interleaver’s structure is optimized, and around 100 GHz channel spacing can be got when the length of the interleaver is chosen as 40.5 μm.     

Dispersion spreading of polarization-entangled states of light and two-photon interference

We study the interference structure of the second-order intensity correlation function for polarization-entangled two-photon light obtained from type II collinear frequency-degenerate spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC). The structure is visualized due to the spreading of the two-photon amplitude as two-photon light propagates through optical fiber with group-velocity dispersion (GVD). Because of the spreading, polarization-entangled Bell states can be obtained without any birefringence compensation at the output of the nonlinear crystal. Instead, proper time selection of the intensity correlation function is required. A birefringent material inserted at the output of the nonlinear crystal (either reducing the initial e-o delay between the oppositely polarized twin photons or increasing this delay) leads to a more complicated interference structure of the correlation function.
