Estimation of partial optical path length in the brain in subject-specific head models for near-infrared spectroscopy

Three-dimensional head models with the structures constructed from the MR head images of 40 volunteers were constructed to analyze light propagation in the subject-specific head models. The mean optical path length in the head and the partial optical path length in the brain at 13 fiducial points for each volunteer were estimated to evaluate the intersubject and spatial variability in the optical path lengths. Although the intersubject variability in the optical path lengths is very high, the spatial variability in the average of the mean optical path length and partial optical path length is similar to the previously reported data. The mean optical path length in the head increases, whereas the partial optical path length in the brain decreases with an increase in the depth of the brain surface. The partial optical path length is highly correlated with the depth of the brain surface in comparison to the mean optical path length in the head.     

InGaAsP/InP evanescent mode waveguide optical isolators and their application to InGaAsP/InP/Si hybrid evanescent optical isolators

We theoretically investigated InGaAsP/InP evanescent mode waveguide optical isolators and proposed their application to InGaAsP/InP/Si hybrid evanescent optical isolators. InGaAsP/InP evanescent optical isolators are composed of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) waveguides having InGaAsP multiple quantum well (MQW) active layer and upper InGaAsP waveguide layer with ferromagnetic layer. Optical isolation is obtained for evanescent optical mode in the InGaAsP waveguide layer. InGaAsP/InP/Si hybrid evanescent optical isolators are theoretically proposed based on the idea of InGaAsP/InP evanescent optical isolators. InGaAsP/InP/Si hybrid evanescent optical isolators are composed of ferromagnetic metal loaded silicon evanescent waveguides with wafer-bonded InGaAsP/InP optical gain material. The optical isolation and propagation loss are discussed with the structure of silicon evanescent waveguides, and optical isolation of 8.0 dB/mm was estimated. The concept of semiconductor evanescent mode optical isolators is feasible with InP based photonic integrated circuits and advanced silicon photonics.

Detection sensitivity of the optical beam deflection method characterized with the optical spot size on the detector

Here we describe the effect of the incident optical spot size upon the quadrant photodetector on the displacement detection sensitivity of the optical beam deflection method. By varying the size of the beam spot reaching the photodetector and measuring the optical responsivity, we have determined the optical detection sensitivity as a function of the optical spot size on the photodetector. Also, we have calculated the numerical value of the detection sensitivity with the Gaussian optical spot profile and compared with the experimental data. Both experimental and analytic studies show that the optical displacement detection sensitivity increases with the decrease in the width of the Gaussian optical spot. The study presented here will be beneficial in developing the nanomechanical displacement detection techniques based on the beam deflection method with a position-sensitive detector.

Efficient non-linear optical fibres and their applications

There seem to be three possible approaches to achieve efficient non-linear optical effects in fibres: the increase of optical intensity in fibres, the control of group velocity dispersion in fibres and the use of efficient non-linear optical materials for fibres. From this viewpoint, high-numerical-aperture single-mode fibres with high optical intensity, single-mode fibres with extremely small dispersion at the operating wavelength and LiNbO₃ single-crystal fibres with efficient non-linear effects, are now being investigated. This paper describes the fabrication of these optical fibres, and their non-linear optical applications.

Research on application of MOOC in optical packet switching

An experiment on receiving and identifying multiple optical orthogonal codes （MOOC） sequence-based optical labels in an optical packet switching （OPS） network is reported. Two groups of MOOC with a code length of 23 and a code weight of 3 are used to identify the optical labels. The scheme and principle of OPS networks based on MOOC sequence-based optical labels are presented. Because optical labels contain OPS and routing information, the importance of optical label processing with multiple inconsecutive, random, and burst optical labels in an OPS network is pointed out. Considering the MOOC-based optical labels, we design a circuit consisting of a broadened network and a cascaded amplifier to receive multiple groups of low-power narrow pulses （optical labels in the MOOC-OPS network） with a period of 2 ns. The successful experimental results demonstrate that the designed scheme is feasible.     

Single laser beam fiber optic trap

Optical forces acting on a sphere were experimentally analyzed to investigate the single-beam fiber optic trap using a cleaved optical fiber or a lensed optical fiber. A stable optical trap could be created at the point where the x-directed (horizontal) optical forces were precisely balanced, and the vector sum of axial and transverse forces acting on a sphere gave a restoring force directed back to the stable point. As compared with other embodiments, such as a single-beam gradient trap (optical tweezers) and dual-beam fiber optical traps, this single-beam fiber optic trapping was most economical, much simpler to operate, and required relatively low optical power to capture an object. Furthermore, a lensed optical fiber could easily trap and manipulate a micro object in comparison with a cleaved optical fiber because of the strong transverse optical confinement.     

Polarization maintaining fibers for application in magnetic field measurements

Optical fibers may be applied in measurements of electrical current, particularly as so-called optical current transformers. Electric current sensors, in which optical fibers are used are small, light, cheap and safe. Their sensitivity is, however, due to the restricted magnetootpic properties of optical fibers, rather small. Moreover, these sensors are susceptible to deformations of the optical fiber. An increase of their sensitivity consists in lengthening the distance of optical fiber on which the magnetic field acts. However, this can lead to an increase of disturbances caused by changes of internal stresses. The negative effects can be reduced by applying optical fibers with a higher magnetooptic sensitivity and a lower susceptibility to mechanical stresses and deformations. The present paper deals with side-hole optical fibers with a decreased birefringence reducing the susceptibility to deformations. The optical fibers consist of a multicomponent glass with a higher value of the refractive index, thanks to which the sensitivity to the effect of the external magnetic field is increased. In future such optical fibers are planed to be applied in magnetooptic sensors.

Optical Multistability and Wavelength Switching of a Fabry-Perot Semiconductor Laser with Multi-Detuned Light Injections

Optical multistability of a Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser is analyzed when multi-optical inputs detuned from the cavity-resonant wavelength of a semiconductor laser are injected. Many split branches are shown to be produced in the optical output versus optical input characteristics for different detuned optical inputs. It is also shown that optical outputs can be switched in any one of the optical input wavelengths by optical input pulses, based on the optical output versus input characteristics with multi-split branches.     

重复频率可调谐的超低抖动光窄脉冲源的研究

提出了一种新型的基于光电振荡器的重复频率可调谐的超低抖动光窄脉冲源. 光电振荡器系统可以产生超低相位噪声的微波信号; 被该信号调制的直调光经过两次相位调制之后, 使光脉冲的啁啾增强; 再通过一段色散补偿光纤, 光脉冲被进一步压窄. 实验中使用YIG可调滤波器, 可以得到8–12 GHz内步进为200 MHz的可调谐微波信号, 因此光脉冲的重复频率具有可调谐性. 当微波信号即脉冲重复频率为9.6 GHz时, 测得脉冲宽度为3.7 ps, 相位噪声为-130.1 dBc/Hz@10 kHz. 由此得出光脉冲的瞬时抖动为60.1 fs (100 Hz–1 MHz), 因此该方案产生的光窄脉冲源具有超低的抖动.
