设计了一种基于LiNbO_3的长周期波导光栅可调谐耦合器.该耦合器利用长周期光栅的独有特性将输入波导的导模经包层模耦合至输出波导导模.由于LiNbO_3的电光效应,波导光栅芯层与包层的有效折射率随外加电压变化,从而耦合器的谐振波长及耦合效率可由外加电压调谐.分析了光栅周期与耦合器的长度对耦合器带宽和耦合效率调谐范围的影响,以及波导尺寸对谐振波长调谐灵敏度的影响.结果表明光栅周期越短,耦合器长度越长,则耦合器的带宽越窄,耦合效率调谐范围也越大.此外,谐振波长调谐灵敏度随波导宽度的增加而减小,而波导厚度对谐振波长调谐灵敏度的影响可以忽略.对光栅周期为94μm、长度为3.52cm的耦合器进行仿真,结果表明,谐振波长灵敏度为26.2pm/V,3dB带宽可达4.5nm,当外加电压从0变化到200V时,谐振波长变化5.24nm,耦合效率可在1到0.15之间进行调谐.

研究了亚波长光栅的衍射对抗反射和增强透射性能的影响。理论分析表明,如果要达到抗反射和增强透射的双重效果,需要避免衍射引起的横向波导损耗,光栅周期要足够小;而如果只需要达到抗反射效果,可利用光栅衍射形成横向波导共振降低反射效率,此时光栅周期不需要很小。利用严格耦合波理论对周期、占空比及凹槽深度等结构参数进行优化。采用激光干涉光刻法制作了周期为290 nm的一维浮雕光栅,并测试其透射及反射光谱,结果表明这种结构在大角度范围内对可见光波段有明显的抗反射效果,但是只有波长在非衍射区才具有透射增强效果,而在衍射区透射降低。该研究实验和理论分析相一致,研究结果为根据应用要求合理选择光栅周期、降低制备工艺提供了清晰的物理图像和参考。

Tuning properties of long period gratings in photonic bandgap fibers

We investigate the thermal tuning properties of long period gratings (LPGs) in a fluid-filled photonic bandgap fiber (PBGF). The combination of strong, resonant waveguide dispersion, characteristic of all PBGF modes, and the large thermo-optic coefficients of fluids yields highly tunable grating resonances. We measure grating resonances in three transmission bands with large tuning coefficients of up to -1.58 nm/degrees C, which match numerical results. We derive an analytic model for the PBGF LPG tuning coefficient to show how it depends on both the shift of the transmission bands and the dispersion of the coupled modes.

Guided-mode resonant Brewster filter consisting of two homogenous layers and a single grating with an equal refractive index

In this paper,a new type of resonant Brewster filter(RBF) consisting of two homogenous layers and a single grating with an equal refractive index is presented.The properties are studied by using the plane waveguide method(PWM) and rigorous coupled-wave analysis(RCWA).It is found that the variation of the grating thickness does not effectively change the position of the resonant wavelength,however it has a remarkable effect on the line width,and the resonant peak can be adjusted back to its original position by slightly tuning the grating period.Moreover,by simultaneously tuning the thicknesses of the homogeneous layers above and beneath the grating structure,multiple channels can also be obtained when the RBF is illuminated at the Brewster angle calculated with the effective medium theory(EMT) of subwavelength grating.The adjacent optical thickness for acquiring the multiple channels is about three-quarters of the resonant wavelength.Furthermore,it is demonstrated that the line width at the operating resonant wavelength can be appreciably narrowed by tuning the thickness of the homogenous layer to its corresponding thickness without fine tuning the grating period or the thickness.Therefore,it is very useful for designing filters with different line widths at the desired wavelength.In addition,it is shown from our calculations that the symmetrical line feather can be obtained if the total optical thickness for the homogeneous layer meets the special condition.

A Continuously Tunable Erbium-Doped Fibre Laser Using Tunable Fibre Bragg Gratings and Optical Circulator

A continuously tunable erbium-doped fibre laser （TEDFL） based on tunable fibre Bragger grating （TFBG） and a three-port optical circulator （OC） is proposed and demonstrated. The OC acts as a 100%-reflective mirror. A strain-induced uniform fibre Bragger grating （FBG） which functions as a partial-reflecting mirror is implemented in the linear cavity. By applying axial strain onto the TFBG, a continuously tunable lazing output can be realized. The wavelength tuning range covers approximately 7.00nm in C band （from 1543.6161 to 1550.3307nm）. The side mode suppression ratio （SMSR） is better than 50 dB, and the 3 dB bandwidth of the laser is less than 0.01 nm. Moreover, an array waveguide grating （AWG） is inserted into the cavity for wavelength preselecting, and a 50 km transmission experiment was performed using our TEDFL at a 10 Gb/s modulation rate.     

Long period grating in/on planar and channel waveguides: A theory description

A comprehensive, complete theory suitable for a long period grating (LPG) on/in a planar or channel waveguide is described on the basis of coupled mode theory. The theory aims at key characteristic parameters with respect to the effect of the LPG, including resonance wavelength, transmission power of the guided mode in the waveguide, full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the power attenuation band in transmission spectrum of the guided mode, and coupling coefficient between a guided and a coupled mode. The type of the grating including relief and index modulation, different polarization state combinations of the guided mode and the resonant mode, and slanted grating structure are considered in this theory. The influences of the coupling between two guided modes and between a guided mode and a substrate mode are discussed. The role of cladding layer in a long period waveguide grating is demonstrated in particular. Finally, the expressions for the sensitivity of resonance wavelength as a function of external temperature, pressure and surrounding refractive index are derived.
