非线性管理光纤光栅中的调制不稳定性研究

基于非线性耦合模方程,研究了非线性管理光纤光栅中的调制不稳定性,得到了调制不稳定性的色散关系。与常规的非线性光纤光栅相比,在非线性管理光纤光栅中,克尔非线性的变化改变了调制不稳定性增益谱的谱宽和幅度,并导致新的不稳定性区域的出现:在反常色散区,原来关于零波数对称的两个旁瓣随着克尔非线性变化的增加其增益幅度递减至零,在经历了一段无增益区域之后,又逐渐形成了在零波数附近区域的一个新的单峰;而在正常色散区,除了原来的两个增益区域之外,零波数附近出现了新的增益区,增益的幅度随克尔非线性变化的增加而递增。可见,非线性管理光纤光栅给调制不稳定性的产生提供了更多的空间。

Design on a highly birefringent and nonlinear photonic crystal fiber in the C waveband

In this paper, a novel photonic crystal fiber （PCF） with high birefringence and nonlinearity is designed. The charac- teristics of birefringence, dispersion and nonlinearity are studied by using the full-vector finite element method （FVFEM）. The numerical results show that the phase birefringence and nonlinear coefficient of PCF can be up to 4.51× 10-3 and 32.8972 w-l.km-1 at 1.55 μm, respectively. The proposed PCF could be found to have important applications in the polarization-dependent nonlinear optics such as the pulse compress and reshaping in the C waveband.     

Analysis and engineering of coupled cavity waveguides based on coupled-mode theory

The analytical expression for the transmission spectra of coupled cavity waveguides （CCWs） in photonic crystals （PCs） is derived based on the coupled-mode theory （CMT）. Parameters in the analytical expression can be extracted by simple numerical simulations. We reveal that it is the phase shift between the two adjacent PC defects that uniquely determines the flatness of the impurity bands of CCWs. In addition, it is found that the phase shift also greatly affects the bandwidth of CCWs. Thus, the engineering of the impurity bands of CCWs can be realized through the adjustment of the phase shift. Based on the theoretical results, an interesting phenomenon in which a CCW acts as a single PC defect and its impurity band possesses a Lorentz lineshape is predicted. Very good agreement between the analytical results and the numerical simulations based on transfer matrix method has been achieved.     

Modulation instability in metamaterials with fourth-order linear dispersion,second-order nonlinear dispersion,and three kinds of saturable nonlinearites

The linearized nonlinear propagation equation and its coefficients, gain spectrum of modulation instability (MI) in metamaterials (MMs) with fourth-order linear dispersion, second-order nonlinear dispersion, and three kinds of saturable nonlinearites, are analytically deduced by utilizing the linear stability analysis and Drude electromagnetic model. Then variations of gain spectra of MI with the normalized angular frequencies and the optical power densities are calculated in real units. In the negative refractive region, two kinds of gain spectra are discovered. The first (second) one is close to (far from) the zero perturbation frequencies and it corresponds to the lower (higher) normalized angular frequencies. Moreover, the second one has higher cutoff frequency, which is obviously beneficial to generation of high-repetition-rate pulse trains. While in the positive refractive region, only the first kind of gain spectra is found. With increase of the optical power densities, the peak gains and the spectral widths of MI increase before decrease, but they vary the most rapidly (slowly) for the exponential (conventional) saturable nonlinearities. The MI characteristics and their corresponding applications can be adjusted by several methods.     

Carrier-envelope phase slip of ultrashort dispersion-managed solitons

The carrier-envelope phase slip of an ultrashort pulse circulating in a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser is analyzed. The laser cavity is modeled by a dispersion- and nonlinearity-managed nonlinear Schr?dinger equation. The combined contributions to the phase slip induced by nonlinear phase and nonlinear dispersion are found to approach zero for strong dispersion maps. The dependence of the slip on third-order dispersion is found as well. The analytical results are verified using numerical simulations.     

Electromagnetic shocks on the optical cycle of ultrashort pulses in triple-resonance Lorentz dielectric media with subfemtosecond nonlinear electronic Debye relaxation

The dynamical evolution of an intense ultrashort sub-10-fs two-cycle optical pulse is considered as it propagates through a transparent third-order dielectric medium characterized by three resonance lines and a finite sub-fs relaxation time of the electronic nonlinearity. Numerical integration of the full Maxwell's equations incorporating triple-resonance Lorentz linear dispersion and Debye nonlinear dispersion, for a linearly polarized electromagnetic pulse centered at lambda(0)=1.24 microm in the normal dispersion region near the zero dispersion wavelength, shows the formation of shocks occurring on the optical cycle due to the generation of optical harmonics. The finite relaxation time of the nonlinear electronic response (sub-fs time scale) (i) slows down the steepening rate of the optical cycle; (ii) does not limit the generation of strongly phase matched optical harmonics, and consequently the development of infinitely sharp edges on the optical cycle producing its breaking when linear dispersion is not included; (iii) reduces the production of phase matched harmonics and consequently the sharpening of the jumps when dispersion is present, compared to the case of an instantaneous nonlinear response; and (iv) reduces the harmonic spectrum spreading and modulation at later times on the appearance of self-steepening of the electric field envelope.

Vector-dispersion compensation and pulse pedestal cancellation in a femtosecond nonlinear amplification fiber laser system

We report on a femtosecond nonlinear amplification fiber laser system using a vector-dispersion compressor, which consists of a transmission grating pair and multipass cell based Gires-Tournois interferometer mirrors. The mirror is designed with nearly zero group-delay dispersion and large negative third-order dispersion. As a result, the third-order dispersion of the compressor can be adjusted independently to compensate the nonlinear phase shift of amplified pulses to reduce the pulse pedestal. With this scheme, the system outputs 44 fs laser pulses with little wing at 26.6 W output average power and 531 nJ pulse energy, corresponding to 10.8 MW peak power.
