在单模光纤中,输入的激光功率大于阈值时．出现放大的反斯托克斯拉曼背向自发散射现象。实验发现：放大的反斯托克斯拉曼背向自发散射具有温度效应．与反斯托克斯拉曼背向自发散射一样,放大的拉曼散射光的光子通量受到光纤温度的调制。反斯托克斯拉曼背向白发散射的放大效应抑制了单模光纤中的相干噪声,改善了系统的信噪比。实验还发现．放大的反斯托克斯扎曼背向自发散射空域曲线上放大的端点位置随激发功率的增高前移并具有一定的规律性。放大的反斯托克斯拉曼背向自发散射的温度效应作为一种新的测温原理,已应用于远程30km分布光纤温度传感器系统。     

Ring-Shaped Field Pattern: The Fundamental Mode of a Multimode Optical Fiber

The observation of a ring-shaped single-mode field pattern at Stokes wavelengths of backward stimulated Raman scattering in a multimode fiber is reported for the first time. This phenomenon and some other novel experimental and numerical results are presented to explain the mechanism. It has been proved that self-focusing plays little role in the formation of the ring-shaped structure. The ring-shaped pattern is attributed to the refractive index profile of the fiber used in the experiment. It corresponds to the fundamental mode of the fiber and mode competition causes the Stokes waves to propagate in the fundamental mode.

We present the first experimental demonstration of a resolvable mode structure with spacing c/2nL in the RF spectra of ultralong Raman fiber lasers. The longest ever demonstrated laser cavity (L=84 km), RF peaks of ~100 Hz width and spacing ~1 kHz have been observed at low intracavity powers. The width of the peaks increases linearly with growing intracavity power and is almost independent of fiber length.

Single-mode Raman fiber laser based on a multimode fiber

Single-mode operation of a Raman fiber laser based on a multimode fiber has been demonstrated for what is to our knowledge the first time. Single-mode operation was achieved through the beam cleanup effect of stimulated Raman scattering in multimode fibers. The Raman laser, consisting of a 50-microm-core multimode fiber and a multimode Nd:YAG laser pump, produced an output beam corresponding to the fundamental mode of the fiber.     

Supercontinuum generation in highly Ge-doped core Y-shaped microstructured optical fiber

We report experimental results on supercontinuum generation in a highly Ge-doped core Y-shaped microstructured optical fiber using pump pulses of 9 ns duration at 1064 nm. The fiber is easy to fabricate due to its simple structure and shows good compatibility with standard fiber. The generation of nonlinear effects takes advantage of the large nonlinear refractive index and Raman gain of the Ge-doped core, as well as the air hole structure that surrounds the core. Although the fiber was pumped in normal dispersion and relatively far from the zero dispersion wavelength, flat and smooth supercontinuum in the fundamental mode from 550 nm to beyond 1750 nm was generated with a rather moderate value of fiber length and pump peak power product of 13 kW?m.

Multiwavelength fiber laser based on a photonic crystal fiber loop mirror with cooperative Rayleigh scattering

In this work, a multiwavelength fiber Raman laser based on a highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber loop mirror is presented. A laser resonator is formed when the Raman amplification with cooperative Rayleigh scattering in a dispersion-compensating fiber is used as a distributed mirror and combined with a photonic crystal fiber loop mirror filtering structure. Stable multiwavelength lasing at room temperature is achieved due to the low temperature sensitivity of the highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber.
