新型超宽带双芯光子晶体光纤偏振分束器的研究

提出了一种新型超宽带双芯光子晶体光纤偏振分束器. 应用全矢量有限元法,系统地研究了光纤结构参数对偏振分束器带宽和偏振分束器长度的影响. 分析结果表明：增加掺氟区折射率,既能提高分束器带宽,也能减少分束器长度;增大光纤中空气孔的孔距及孔径与孔距比,可以增加分束器的带宽,但同时也会导致分束器的长度增大,使得器件尺寸增大. 因此,在设计中需兼顾分束器的带宽和长度来选取光纤的结构参数. 通过结构参数的优化,设计出一种短长度、高消光比和超宽带的偏振分束器,其长度为7.362 mm,消光比高于20 dB的带宽为600 nm. 关键词： 光子晶体光纤 偏振分束器 超宽带 全矢量有限元法

Investigation of the guided-mode characteristics of hollow-core photonic band-gap fibre with interstitial holes

This paper investigates the guided-mode characteristics of hollow-core photonic band-gap fibre (HC-PBGF) with interstitial holes fabricated by an improved twice stack-and-draw technique at visible wavelengths. Based on the simulation model with interstitial holes, the influence of glass interstitial apexes on photonic band-gaps is discussed. The existing forms of guided-mode in part band gaps are shown by using the full-vector plane-wave method. In the experiment, the observed transmission spectrum corresponds to the part band gaps obtained by simulation. The fundamental and second-order guided-modes with mixture of yellow and green light are observed through choosing appropriate fibre length and adjusting coupling device. The loss mechanism of guided-modes in HC-PBGF is also discussed.

Passive polarization rotator based on silica photonic crystal fiber for 1.31-μm and 1.55-μm bands via adjusting the fiber length

A new polarization rotator based on the silica photonic crystal fiber is proposed. The proposed polarization rotator photonic crystal fiber （PR-PCF） possesses a triangle jigsaw-shape core region. The full-vector finite-element method is used to analyze the phenomenon of polarization conversion between the quasi-TE and quasi-TM modes. Numerical simulations show that the wavelengths of 1.31 μm and 1.55 μm are converted with a nearly 100% polarization conversion ratio with their matched coupling length and has a relatively strong realistic fabrication tolerance - 100 nm on the y axis and 50 nm on the x axis. The full vectorial finite difference beam propagation method is used to confirm the performance of the proposed PR-PCF.

Zero dispersion wavelength and dispersion slope control of hollow-core photonic bandgap fibres

This paper investigates the zero dispersion wavelength and dispersion slope control of hollow-core photonic bandgap fibres (PBGFs) by using a full-vector finite element method. By simulation we found that theoretically the zero dispersion wavelength can be tailored by respectively changing the rounded diameter of air holes, pitch, refractive index, normalized thickness of core rings, and hole diameter to pitch ratio. At the same time the tailoring of dispersion slope can also be realized by changing the rounded diameter of air holes or pitch or normalized thickness of core rings. To illustrate the reasonability of fibre designs, this paper also gives the variance of normalized interface field intensity which measures the scattering loss relatively versus wavelength for different designs. From the viewpoint of loss, varying the rounded diameter and the thickness of core ring could shift zero wavelength but it is difficult to get the required parameters within so tiny range in practical drawing of PBGFs, on the other hand, it is possible in practice to respectively alter the pitch and refractive index to shift zero wavelength. But varying hole diameter to pitch ratio is not worthwhile because they each induce large increase of loss and narrowness of transmission bandwidth. The zero dispersion wavelength can be engineered by respectively varying the rounded diameter of air holes, pitch, refractive index, and normalized thickness of core rings without incurring large loss penalties.

Investigation on Guided-Mode Characteristics of Hollow-Core Photonic Crystal Fibre at Near-Infrared Wavelengths

Guided-mode characteristics of hollow-core photonic crystal fibre （HC-PCF） are experimentally and theoretically investigated. The transmission spectrum in the range from 755 to 845nm is observed and the loss is measured to be 0.12dB/m at 800nm by cut-back method. Based on the full-vector beam propagation method and the full-vector plane-wave method, the characteristics of mode field over propagation distance 1 m are simulated, and the results show that the propagation efficiency can be above 80%. Compared with the fundamental guided mode well confined in air core within shorter propagation distance, the second-order guided mode leaks into the cladding region and gradually attenuates due to larger refractive index difference. The primary loss factors in HC-PCF and the corresponding solutions are elementarily discussed.

Polarization and modal field properties of quinquangular-core photonic crystal fibers

A kind of highly birefringent quinquangular-core photonic crystal fiber(Q-PCF) structure is proposed and analyzed by full-vector finite element method(FEM) . The modal field,effective index,and birefringence properties are investigated. From the numerical results,it is found that the birefringence of the new polarization-maintaining PCFs is at least five times larger than that of the standard highly birefringent hexagonal PCFs(H-PCFs) with the same hole pitch,hole diameter,and whole hole area as that of the new PCFs at 1 550 nm. Moreover,the modal field of the new PCFs could be better restricted than that of the standard highly birefringent H-PCFs;hence,the loss of fibers could be reduced.     

1 × 4 coupler based on all solid five-core photonic crystal fibers

An improved 1 × 4 coupler based on all solid multi-core photonic crystal fiber is proposed and analyzed. The expressions to calculate the coupling length and the coupling efficiency are deduced based on the coupled-mode equations firstly. Then a full-vector finite element method (FEM) is used to calculate the coupling length and the coupling efficiency. Next, the propagation characteristics and the performances of the coupler are analyzed through using a full vector beam propagation method (BPM). Research shows that the results derived by FEM agree with that by BPM. The coupling length of the coupler is 4.1 mm at λ = 1.55 μm. A maximum coupling efficiency of 24.96% can be obtained. The coupling ratio is more than 22.5% over a wavelength range of 100 nm. The polarization-dependent loss at λ = 1.55 μm is equal to 0.73 dB. Finally, the influences of the micro-variation of structure parameters and the material refractive index on the working performances of the coupler are investigated.
