长周期光纤光栅模式与耦合的研究

长周期光纤光栅是在光纤纤芯中沿轴向形成折射率周期性调制的带阻型光纤器件。与光纤布拉格光栅不同，它表现为前向传播的纤芯基模与同向传播的各阶次包层模式在特定波长的耦合。研究了纤芯基模、包层模式（HE1t/EH1t）及其有效折射率随波长的变化，研究了纤芯基模与包层模式（HE1t/EH1t）的耦合系数。研究表明，纤芯基模与一阶低次包层模式的有效折射率随波长增大而减小，纤芯基模与HE1t产生的耦合系数远大于与EH1t的耦合系数，并且包层模式次数较低时，耦合系数随次数的升高而增加。这与以前的研究结果有所不同。

Higher order mode propagation in an optical nanofiber

The propagation of higher modes, such as the LP₁₁ mode, in optical nanofibers using the exponentially tapered optical fiber as a basic model is investigated. In order to preserve the LP₁₁ mode in the downtaper as far as the nanofiber waist, the effect of varying the cladding-core radius ratio on the LP₁₁ adiabatic criterion is modeled. A Laguerre-Gaussian beam is created in free space using a spatial light modulator (SLM) and coupled to a few-mode fiber. This device allows convenient switching between the fundamental and LP₁₁ fiber modes. By selecting a few-mode fiber with a relatively low cladding-core ratio, the propagation of the LP₁₁ mode down to a submicron waist has been maintained. Furthermore, by observing the transmission profile during tapering, it is possible to decisively terminate the pulling process in order to eliminate the two degenerate HE₂₁ modes of the LP₁₁ mode. As a result, a nanofiber can be fabricated through which only the TE₀₁ and TM₀₁ components of the LP₁₁ mode propagate. Such a nanofiber has promising applications in the area of mode interference for controlled particle trapping sites.     

Single-mode excitation of multimode fibers with ultrashort pulses

Single-mode excitation of step-index multimode fibers with light sources with short temporal coherence lengths is demonstrated. Multimode fiber designs with reduced microbending-induced mode coupling are described that allow the propagation of the fundamental mode over long lengths with negligible mode coupling even in the presence of tight fiber bends. At a wavelength of 1.56microm a fiber with a core diameter of 45microm can preserve the fundamental mode for a propagation length of ~20m . Such fibers allow coiling with a coil diameter as small as 7cm.     

Parametric amplification of light waves at low-frequency pumping in aperiodic nonlinear photonic crystals

A theory of monochromatic light propagation in a fiber amplifier is developed. It is shown that competition between coherent gain-guided modes is qualitatively different from interaction between incoherent beams. Spatial beating between modes limits the gain of the mode with lower input power even if the corresponding modal gain coefficient is higher. Depending on the input beam parameters, the amplifier output can be dominated by either a single guided mode or their combination. The theory is illustrated by analyzing the gain behavior of a single planar waveguide and arrays of two and three narrow planar waveguides.

Chirofibers with helical windings - An analytical investigation

In this communication, the propagation characteristic of a chiral fiber having helical windings at the core-cladding boundary is analyzed in respect of the relative distribution of power over the sustained modes. The core and the cladding sections of the chirofiber are assumed to have different chirality admittance values while the helical winding pitch angle is considered to attain two particular values -0^° and 90°. It is observed that the introduction of helical structure leaves a dominant effect on the relative power distribution of the chiral fiber as the variations of the confinement factor with the allowed values of the propagation constants corresponding to different azimuthal modes exhibit much difference in nature for different values of the angle of pitch. It is noticed that the power confinement in the core is much higher when the pitch angle of the helix is effectively introduced by keeping the windings perpendicular to the propagation direction. Further, the property of mode degeneracy in chirofibers is also observed, which is reported to be of much significance when the helical structure remains parallel to the direction of propagation. A more profound mode degeneration characteristic is found for the chiral fiber with larger core dimension.     

Simulation and experimental research on polymer fiber mode selection polished coupler

Multimode dispersion is the main obstacle for high bandwidth in multimode optical fiber （MMF） communication system. Mode selection is an effective method to oppress multimode dispersion. We propose and investigate a kind of polymer optical fiber polished coupler. Beam propagation method （BPM） is employed to calculate the coupling coefficient of transmission modes in MMF coupler, and an output pattern from coupling branch is obtained. Analysis and experiment show that this coupler can select certain modes by changing polished depth, contact area, and intersection angle of two branches, which means that the device can be employed both as a mode selector and a sensor. In addition, simulation shows that five times bandwidth enhancement may be realized by selecting modes with the polymer fiber polished coupler.

Optical properties of high-delta air silica microstructure optical fibers

We analyze the waveguide properties of microstructure optical fibers consisting of a silica core surrounded by a single ring of large air holes. Although the fibers can support numerous transverse spatial modes, coupling between these modes even in the presence of large perturbations is prevented for small core dimensions, owing to a large wave-vector mismatch between the lowest-order modes. The result is an optical fiber that can appear single mode with propagation properties that can be achieved only in multimode waveguides.     

Single-mode single-polarization holey fiber using anisotropic fundamental space-filling mode

We present the single-mode single-polarization regime of a circular-hole holey fiber consisting of a core with large elliptical holes. The elliptical holes in the core, which produce large anisotropies, split the fundamental mode into two orthogonally polarized fundamental modes, often referred to as slow and fast modes. This fiber can guide only one polarization state of the fundamental mode when a fundamental space-filling mode index of the cladding region is designed to lie between these indices of the slow and fast modes of the core region. We demonstrate one design example of this fiber and show that the single-polarization regime can be achieved over a wide wavelength range.     

Experimental determination of propagation constant using end-etched fiber

We introduce the end-etched fiber technique to separate all guided modes into individual mode rings. A direct measurement of the propagation constant as a function of propagation angle and fiber parameters is demonstrated, for a single-mode fiber. We have favorable experimental results when compared to the theoretical values.

Very-large-mode-area photonic bandgap Bragg fiber polarizing in a wide spectral range

A design of a polarizing all-glass Bragg fiber with a microstructure core has been proposed for the first time. This design provides suppression of high-order modes and of one of the polarization states of the fundamental mode. The polarizing fiber was fabricated by a new, simple method based on a combination of the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process and the rod-in-tube technique. The mode field area has been found to be about 870 μm2 near λ=1064 nm. The polarization extinction ratio better than 13 dB has been observed over a 33% wavelength range (from 1 to 1.4 μm) after propagation in a 1.7 m fiber piece bent to a radius of 70 cm.
