多级全通均衡器对介质薄膜滤波器进行色散补偿的探讨

讨论了介质薄膜滤波器的色散特点,并推导了单级全通滤波器的理论色散。比较理论色散曲线与实际测量色散曲线,两者吻合较好。但由于单级全通滤波器的色散带宽及斜率不能满足实际所需的色散补偿曲线,因此提出了多级全通滤波器,通过控制级连的单级全通滤波器的谐振波长及反射率,可以增大色散带宽,改善色散斜率,使之满足实用的要求。文中给出了四级全通滤波器的理论色散曲线。     

Microcavity filters based on hexagonal lattice 2-D photonic crystal structures embedded in ridge waveguides

Two-dimensionally periodic photonic crystal microcavity filters in a ridge waveguide format have been designed and fabricated. Transition mode-matching features were added to increase the optical throughput by more than a factor of two. An increase of Q-factor (more than 100%) was achieved by the addition of two further rows of photonic crystal holes to the microcavity filters. Attempts have also been made to tailor the filter response by applying design concepts used in other Bragg-grating optical filter technologies.

Demonstration of high extinction ratio modal interference in a two-mode fiber and its applications for all-fiber comb filter and high-temperature sensor

We show that high extinction ratio (>20 dB) modal interference in a two-mode dispersion compensating fiber can be utilized to build a compact, easy-to-fabricate tunable all-fiber optical comb filter. Wavelength tunability over the full free spectral range of the comb filter is demonstrated with an electrical power of 115mW using an on-fiber thin film micro-heater deposited directly on the fiber. In another configuration, the comb filter is used as a temperature sensor with dynamic range of >300 °C and sensitivity of <0.1 °C. The temperature sensor is capable of measuring a temperature as high as 500 °C.

偏振效应损伤的光通信系统失效概率估算

采用多重重要抽样方法,研究了受偏振模式色散和偏振相关损耗损伤的10 Gbit/s光通信系统的功率代价和失效概率.仿真结果表明,光滤波器对功率代价有重要影响.采用法布里-珀罗滤波器的系统比采用四阶高斯型滤波器的系统有更好的性能表现;发现功率代价通常随着啁啾因子的增大而增大,但当啁啾因子为0.5左右时,系统性能达到最好.仿真结果也表明,即使偏振模式色散和偏振相关损耗同时存在,DPSK系统比OOK系统有更强的PMD和PDL耐受性.

Predistortion techniques for synthesizing coupled microring filters with loss

A general method based on the predistortion technique is presented for determining the optimum coupling parameters of multiple-coupled microring filters in the presence of known uniform resonator loss. The technique involves predistorting the filter transfer function by shifting its poles and zeros to compensate for loss in the microring resonators due to material absorption, surface roughness scattering, coupling loss and bending loss. It is shown that by sacrificing some in-band insertion loss, both the amplitude and group delay responses of the filter can be recovered when loss is present. Application of the method to synthesizing lossy microring filters in both the digital z-domain and analog s-domain will be presented. The proposed technique is general in that it can be applied to both amplitude and phase filters constructed of coupled microresonators in the most general two-dimensional coupling topology.     

薄膜截止滤光片的消偏振设计

薄膜截止滤光片在倾斜入射时不可避免地会产生s和p二个偏振分量的分离,因而在许多应用,特别是光通讯的应用中成为一个棘手的难题。提出了一种新的设计方法,对最常用的45°入射角,实现了长波通和短波通两种截止滤光片的完全消偏振, 在透射率为50%处,其偏振分离分别为0.3 nm和0.1 nm。基本的设计方法是采用宽带法布里珀罗薄膜干涉滤光片中心波长两侧的干涉带作为长波通或短波通截止滤光片的初始膜系,然后经过适当的优化以提高透射带的透射率。宽带干涉滤光片的间隔层常由半波长厚度的高、低折射率混合膜层组成,如2H2L2H或2L2H2L。由于这种设计的截止区和透射带带宽常嫌不足,故提出了展宽截止区和透射带的方法。对一个典型的短波通截止滤光片,在波长1550 nm,截止区和透射带宽均达到了200 nm。这种设计方法不仅简单、性能优良,而且膜厚控制容差较大,故易于制造。     

Broad omnidirectional high-precision filters design using genetic algorithm

An application of the genetic algorithm in designing omnidirectional optical filters is reported in this paper. Concerning different periodic numbers and thickness ratios in the heterostructure, we gave some optimization examples and finally achieved a photonic heterostructure with very broad omnidirectional filter bandwidth as well as a very narrow transmission window. And it is found that when the normal incident beam is tilted at a negligibly small angle, the perfect transmittance peak will vanish. Hence, this heterostructure can be regarded as omnidirectional high-precision filters with potential application in optical filters, optical switches, and many other optical telecommunication areas.
