铋基掺铒光纤放大器中放大自发辐射处理研究

分别设计了一个带光隔离器和一个带光环形器的复合型宽带铋基掺铒光纤放大器(Bi-EDFA),理论上研究了Bi-EDFA中对于后向传输放大自发辐射(ASE)的处理对放大器性能的影响。研究表明,在C+L波段多波长信号同时输入情形下,通过在铋基掺铒光纤中插入一个光隔离器抑制后向传输的ASE,可以提高放大器各波长信号增益,降低噪声系数。利用一个光环形器引导后向传输的ASE去泵浦一段未抽运的低掺杂铋基掺铒光纤,可以显著地提高放大器长波段信号增益,而噪声系数只是略有增加,理论研究与报道的实验结果达到了比较好的一致。研究结果对于新型宽带Bi-EDFA的设计和应用具有一定实际指导意义。     

Spontaneous and induced modulation instability in the presence of broadband spectra caused by the amplified spontaneous emission

Spontaneous and induced modulation instability (MI) in the presence of rather broadband spectra are shown in the conventional single-mode fiber (SMF) for the first time. The broadband spectra are caused by the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of the erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). The two kinds of MI are seeded by noise components and a probe beam which results from two EDFAs amplification, respectively. For the spontaneous MI, the MI threshold is shown to be ??170 mW, which contains the laser as well as the ASE component. For the induced MI, an idler beam appears and grows with the peak power of input pulses at first, and then multiple spectral peaks emerge.

Highly efficient short length Bismuth-based erbium-doped fiber amplifier

An efficient 21 cm Bismuth-based erbium doped fiber amplifier (Bi-EDFA) operating in both C- and L-band wavelength regions is proposed and demonstrated. The proposed Bi-EDFA uses the gain medium with an erbium ion concentration of 6300 ppm in conjunction with a double-pass configuration. Compared to conventional silica-based erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (Si-EDFAs) with the same amount of Erbium ions, the Bi-EDFA provides a higher attainable gain as well as a greater amplification bandwidth ranging from 1525 to 1620 nm. The proposed Bi-EDFA achieved a flat-gain of around 23 dB with gain variation of ±3.5 dB within the wavelength region from 1530 to 1565 nm at the maximum pump power of 150 mW. The corresponding noise figures are obtained at an average of 6 dB.     

Noise performance of multiplexed fiber-optic sensor systems with optical amplifiers

The signal to noise ratio (SNR) of a multiplexed fiber-optic sensor network can be improved by inserting fiber-optic amplifiers. Several configurations of amplifiers in the sensor network are analyzed. A single fiber-optic amplifier used as a preamplifier is a good solution with high SNR. However, by distributing amplifiers in the network even higher SNR can be obtained, and identical couplers can be used throughout the network.

Stable RF transfer over a fiber-optic ring with DSBCS modulation and a DSB RF signal

We propose a radio frequency(RF)transfer technique with passive phase noise compensation over a fiber-optic ring.By adopting different frequencies and same wavelength transmission and double sideband(DSB)with carrier suppression(DSBCS)modulation,the impact of backscattering can be effectively suppressed.A stable RF signal can be obtained via frequency mixing at an arbitrary access site along the fiber-optic ring.As the two directional transmissions adopt the same fiber and same wavelength from the same laser,the bidirectional propagation symmetry can be maximally guaranteed.We experimentally demonstrate 2 GHz RF signal transfer along a 100 km standard single-mode fiber-optic ring.

High-power near-diffraction-limited solid-state amplified spontaneous emission laser devices

We present investigations into high-power scaling of solid-state amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) laser sources by use of two high-gain (~10(4)) Nd:YVO(4) bounce amplifiers. The sources deliver high power with a high-quality spatial output, but unlike a laser they have a high misalignment tolerance and do not require a precisely aligned cavity. In one system with two amplifiers, we demonstrate an ASE source with 24.5W of output power with good spatial quality, M(2)<2.5 in the horizontal and M(2)<1.2 in the vertical. In a more sophisticated setup, the two amplifiers are arranged in a loop configuration producing 30W of ASE output with near-diffraction-limited spatial quality, with M(2)<1.3 in the horizontal and M(2)<1.2 in the vertical, at an ~38% optical-to-optical conversion efficiency.     

Amplified spontaneous emission and power amplification in high-power DF laser systems

Amplified spontaneous emission （ASE） always occurs in high-power DF laser systems with master oscillator-power amplifier （MOPA） configuration. ASE not only reduces the energy extraction efficiency of the laser system, but also negatively influences its heat management. The interaction between the ASE flux and the coherent laser flux, as well as the effect of ASE on cuboid DF amplifiers, is studied using a finite difference method and an iterative arithmetic. In addition, the influence of ASE on coherent laser amplification is discussed in detail.     

相位调制边带失衡问题研究

 高功率激光系统中一般利用相位调制器对单纵模激光进行频谱展宽以避免受激布里渊散射，当后继系统中的滤波器存在中心波长偏差时，则会导致相位调制产生的边带失衡，使光信号出现较为严重的高频起伏。基于前端系统模拟平台对此问题进行了数值模拟研究，结果表明滤波后的高频起伏随滤波器带宽变窄和中心波长偏差增大而加剧。分析表明0.2 nm带宽的滤波器出现0.05 nm左右的波长偏差时，将引起24.3%左右的顶部起伏。实验中根据分析将滤波器带宽从0.2 nm加大到0.4 nm，成功将脉冲顶部起伏从25.2%减小到了4.4%，对前端系统的研制起到了很好的指导作用。

双重频率锁定的腔衰荡吸收光谱技术及信号处理

针对传统腔衰荡光谱技术浓度获取率低,提出基于双重锁定的连续波腔衰荡吸收光谱技术.通过波长调制一次谐波信号将激光器的频率锁定到C_2H_2吸收线上,同时使用PDH锁频技术将衰荡腔锁定到激光器上,从而避免了测量过程中激光器的频率漂移和腔长的抖动,使测量结果更加精确;并且,由于双重锁定,单次衰荡事件的发生率,也就是浓度信息的获取率只受衰荡时间以及重新锁定时间限制,在本试验系统中采集速率可以达到30 k Hz,可以实现对气体浓度的快速测量.为了提高信噪比,采用Kalman滤波技术,对浓度信息进行实时处理,有效抑制了噪声,根据阿伦方差分析,探测灵敏度可以达到4×10~(-9)cm~(-1)(2 s平均).     

Coherent transfer of an optical carrier over 251 km

We transfer an optical frequency over 251 km of optical fiber with a residual instability of 6x10(-19) at 100 s. This instability and the associated timing jitter are limited fundamentally by the noise on the optical fiber and the link length. We give a simple expression for calculating the achievable instability and jitter over a fiber link. Transfer of optical stability over this long distance requires a highly coherent optical source, provided here by a cw fiber laser locked to a high finesse optical cavity. A sufficient optical carrier signal is delivered to the remote fiber end by incorporating two-way, in-line erbium-doped fiber amplifiers to balance the 62 dB link loss.     

Frequency noise reduction in erbium-doped fiber distributed-feedback lasers by electronic feedback

A novel technique for suppressing frequency noise in an erbium-doped fiber distributed-feedback laser incorporated into a master-oscillator-power-amplifier configuration by an electronic feedback technique is presented. The frequency noise is suppressed by locking of the laser emission to a fiber interferometer. The frequency noise spectral density of the laser is reduced by as much as 20 dB over the frequency range 1 Hz-10 kHz to 1.5 Hz/Hz(1/2) +/-25% at 1 kHz with a relative intensity noise spectral density below -120 dB/Hz over the frequency range 10 Hz-1 kHz. These lasers will have applications as sources for fiber-optic interferometry, high-resolution spectroscopy, and high-bandwidth communications.

High-gain Tm-doped fluoride fiber amplifier

A diode-pumped Tm-doped fiber-optic amplifier that has a small-signal gain of >30 dB at 1870 nm is reported. Output pulses of up to 3-W peak power at a 1-60-kHz repetition rate can be generated by amplification of 20-40-ns laser diode pulses of up to 2-mW launched peak power. The output signal quality, i.e., the ratio of the output pulse energy and the total amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) output energy between two pulses, depends on the relative propagation direction of pump and signal and can be dramatically increased by choice of the correct propagation scheme. In the optimum pump geometry the pulse energy can be raised to as much as 20 times the ASE energy. This is the first report to the author's knowledge of fiber-optic amplification of short diode laser pulses near 1.9 microm with high repetition rates in Tm-doped fibers.     

Minimization of Cross-Gain Saturation in Wavelength Division Multiplexing by Optimizing Differential Gain in Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

We successfully simulated the 10 × 40 Gbit/s soliton RZ-DPSK WDM signals over 1050 km with spectral efficiency approaching 0.4 bit/s/Hz using semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) as in-line amplifier. The cross-gain saturation of SOA can be minimized by settling crosstalk at a lower level by decreasing the differential gain. This decrease in differential gain is in such a way that we get nil power penalty. The maximum transmission distance of 1050 km is possible with differential gain 210 atto cm² of SOA.

The impact of amplification factor, ASE noise power, crosstalk, quality factor and bit error rate for different differential gain has been investigated. It has been shown that with the increase in differential gain of SOA, the transmission distance goes on decreasing. At high value of differential gain 2.5 × 10^-16 cm² for the transmission distance 1050 km, all channels produce inter channel crosstalk with bit error rate greater than 10^-6. But for lower differential gain 190 atto cm², the quality of all channel increases at the cost of large power penalty.

With slight increase in differential gain 200 atto cm², the maximum transmission distance observed is 4550 km with quality of received signal more than 15 dB and having nil power penalty. We observed clear eye diagrams and optical power spectra for received signal with transmission distance 1050 km and 4550 km using soliton RZ-DPSK system. The bit error rate for all channels increase more than 10^-10 with the increase in launched input power that is due to power saturation.
