饱和非线性正折射异向介质中的调制不稳定性

直接从异向介质中包含饱和非线性、自陡峭和二阶非线性色散效应的非线性扩展传输方程出发,采用线性稳定性分析法,导出了调制不稳定性的色散关系、不稳定条件、无量纲的临界扰动频率和增益谱。计算和讨论了异向介质正折射区无量纲的增益谱随归一化角频率和入射功率密度的变化关系。结果表明,在异向介质正折射区,随归一化角频率和入射功率密度的不同,增益谱将会出现扰动频率大于零、扰动频率大于某个非零临界值、扰动频率大于零而小于某个非零临界值3种形式。在归一化角频率较小时,调制不稳定性可能出现阈值入射功率密度;且在较小的入射功率密度时,调制不稳定性只能出现在大于某个临界频率时。     

饱和非线性下零色散附近的交叉相位调制非稳

从光纤中扩展的耦合非线性薛定谔方程组出发,在饱和非线性光纤零色散附近,研究了不同二、四阶色散参量下交叉相位调制不稳定性增益谱及其临界扰动频率、谱宽和谱峰随两光波入射功率的演化特点.研究表明,随色散参量不同,增益谱随两光波入射功率的增大可能出现三种演化形式：一是始终是两个分离的谱区;二是由开始时的两个合成一个,最后再分离成两个;三是始终是一个谱区.饱和非线性的存在则使每个谱区的谱宽、谱峰及远离零点的临界扰动频率,随两光波入射功率的增大可能呈现出先增大后减小的特点,使第二谱区靠近零点的临界扰动频率呈现先减小后增大的特点,从而可能出现两个不同的输入功率对应同一个增益峰值和谱宽的情形.色散参量对增益谱的谱峰影响小,对谱宽影响大.越靠近零色散区,每个谱区谱宽越大,越易连成一个谱区.     

Impacts of higher-order dispersions and saturable nonlinearities on modulation instability in negative-refractive metamaterials

On the basis of the standard linear stability analysis and Drude electromagnetic model,the impacts of higher-order dispersions and three kinds of typical saturable nonlinearities on modulation instability(MI) have been analyzed and calculated for negative-refractive metamaterials(MMs).Our results show that the MI gain spectra consist of only one spectral region instead of one or two regions in ordinary materials,which may be close to or far from the zero point.Particularly,the spectrum far from the zero point has a high cut-off frequency but a narrow spectral width,which is obviously beneficial to the generation of high-repetition-rate pulse trains.Moreover,MI characteristics here will vary with the normalized angular frequency which can be modified by adjusting the structures of negative-refractive MMs,signifying the controllability of bistable solitons and MI based applications.The effects of saturable nonlinearities are similar to those in ordinary materials.     

Cross-phase modulation instability in optical fibres with exponential saturable nonlinearity and high-order dispersion

Utilizing the linear-stability analysis, this paper analytically investigates and calculates the condition and gain spectra of cross-phase modulation instability in optical fibres in the case of exponential saturable nonlinearity and high-order dispersion. The results show that, the modulation instability characteristics here are similar to those of conventional saturable nonlinearity and Kerr nonlinearity. That is to say, when the fourth-order dispersion has the same sign as that of the second-order one, a new gain spectral region called the second one which is far away from the zero point may appear. The existence of the exponential saturable nonlinearity will make the spectral width as well as the peak gain of every spectral region increase with the input powers before decrease. Namely, for every spectral regime, this may lead to a unique value of peak gain and spectral width for two different input powers. In comparison with the case of conventional saturable nonlinearity, however, when the other parameters are the same, the variations of the spectral width and the peak gain with the input powers will be faster in case of exponential saturable nonlinearity.     

高阶色散和指数饱和非线性光纤的调制不稳定性

采用线性稳定性分析法,解析和计算了指数饱和非线性和高阶色散光纤中的调制不稳定条件和增益谱。结果表明:当二阶和四阶色散同为负时,随着参数的不同,增益谱可能只有一个谱区,也可能出现两个分离的谱区;当二阶和四阶色散分别为正和负时,无调制不稳定性;在其它色散区,则只有一个谱区。指数饱和非线性可能使各谱区的谱宽、峰值增益随入纤功率的增大呈现出先增大后减小的特点,即出现两个不同的输入功率对应同一个不稳定增益峰值和谱宽的情形。在其它参数相同时,指数饱和非线性下增益谱的谱宽和峰值增益随入纤功率的变化速度将比传统饱和非线性更快。     

单模光纤中受激喇曼散射对调制不稳定性的影响

基于修正的非线性薛定谔方程，利用线性扰动理论和数值方法研究了单模光纤中的调制不稳定性.由于受激喇曼散射的作用，使得喇曼增益谱叠加到光纤中的调制不稳定性增益谱上.这样，原本调制稳定的光纤正常色散区也出现了调制不稳定性；而在反常色散区，随着初始功率的增加，常规的调制不稳定性增益谱的增益和频谱范围均增大，而喇曼增益谱的增益增大但其频谱范围基本不变，这样导致常规的不稳定区域逐渐侵入并最终掩盖喇曼增益区.数值模拟验证了解析结果的正确性，并证明了利用反常色散情形下的调制不稳定性可以产生超短脉冲序列，但这种脉冲序列的进一步传输将会出现喇曼孤子自频移现象.     

Optimization control of modulation-instability gain in photonic crystal fibres with two-zero dispersion wavelengths

We design three kinds of photonic crystal fibres (PCF) with two zero-dispersion wavelengths (ZDWs) using the improved full vector index method (FVIM) and finite-difference frequency domain (FDFD) techniques. Based on these designed fibres, the effect of fibre structure, pump power and wavelength on the modulation instability (MI) gain in the anomalous dispersion region close to the second ZDW of the PCFs is comprehensively analysed in this paper. The analytical results show that an optimal MI gain can be obtained when the optimal pump wavelength (1530~nm) is slightly shorter than the second ZDW (1538~nm) and the optimal pump power is 250~W. Importantly, the total MI gain bandwidth has been increased to 260~nm for the first time, so far as we know, for an optimally-designed fibre with Λ = 1.4~nm and d/Λ = 0.676, and the gain profile became much smoother. The optimal pump wavelength relies on the second ZDW of the PCF whereas the optimal pump power depends on the corporate operation of the optimal fibre structure and optimal pump wavelength, which is important in designing the most appropriate PCF to attain higher broadband and gain amplification.     

Modulational instability of electromagnetic waves in birefringent fibers with periodic and random dispersion

Modulational instability (MI) of electromagnetic waves in a birefringent fiber with a periodic dispersion (two-step dispersion management scheme) is investigated. The properties of new sidebands are studied. The strong variation of dispersion leads to the decreasing of the main MI region and the suppression of additional resonance. In the random dispersion case the MI of all frequencies of modulation in the normal dispersion region is predicted. In the anomalous dispersion case the decreasing of the main MI peak is calculated and changes in the spectral bandwidth of MI gain are found. The analytical predictions are confirmed by the numerical simulations of the full coupled nonlinear Schr?dinger equations with periodic coefficients.     

Polarization dependent dispersion and its impact on optical parametric process in high nonlinear microstructure fibre

High nonlinear microstructure fibre （HNMF） is preferred in nonlinear fibre optics, especially in the applications of optical parametric effects, due to its high optical nonlinear coefficient. However, polarization dependent dispersion will impact the nonlinear optical parametric process in HNMFs. In this paper, modulation instability （MI） method is used to measure the polarization dependent dispersion of a piece of commercial HNMF, including the group velocity dispersion, the dispersion slope, the fourth-order dispersion and group birefringence. It also experimentally demonstrates the impact of the polarization dependent dispersion on the continuous wave supercontinuum （SC） generation. On one axis MI sidebands with symmetric frequency detunings are generated, while on the other axis with larger MI frequency detuning, SC is generated by soliton self-frequency shift.     

包含高阶色散的色散缓变光纤中交叉相位调制不稳定性分析

从包含高阶色散的广义非线性薛定谔方程出发,得到了色散缓变光纤中交叉相位调制不稳定增益谱,研究了增益谱随入射功率及光纤纵向色散参量的变化关系.结果表明：由于四阶色散的影响,在色散缓变光纤的正、反常色散区,交叉相位调制不稳定均发生在两个频谱区.反常色散区两频谱区宽度均比正常色散区宽,且反常色散区第二频谱区更靠近零点,说明色散缓变光纤中交叉相位调制不稳定更容易发生在反常色散区.增益谱宽都随两入射光波功率比值的增加而增大.色散缓变光纤中交叉相位调制不稳定增益谱宽比常规光纤的宽,且随着光纤纵向色散参量μ的增大色散缓变光纤中交叉相位调制不稳定越来越明显.

We examine the possibility of MI in both dispersion regimes, regardless of the sign of the group velocity dispersion.

Effects of walk-off on cross-phase modulation induced modulation instability in an optical fibre with high-order dispersion

This paper investigates the effects of walk-off among optical pulses on cross-phase modulation induced modulation instability in the normal dispersion region of an optical fibre with high-order dispersion. The results indicate that, in the case of high-order dispersion, the walk-off effect takes on new characteristics and will influence considerably the shape, position and especially the number of the spectral regions of the gain spectra of modulation instability. Not only the group-velocity mismatch, but also the difference of the third-order dispersion of two optical waves will alter the gain spectra of modulation instability but in different ways. Depending on the values of the walk-off parameters, the number of the spectral regions may increase from two to at most four, and the spectral shape and position may change too.     

正三角型三芯光纤中等腰对称平面波的调制不稳定性分析

详细分析了正三角型三芯光纤中等腰对称平面波的调制不稳定性.等腰对称平面波即两芯中场完全相同,第三芯中场入射功率与其他两芯中不同的平面波,其存在的前提是入射光总功率(P)必须大于某最小值(P_(min)),该最小值取决于光纤的线性耦合系数和非线性系数.对一给定的总功率P≥P_(min),令一芯中的入射功率为P_1,其他两芯中入射功率均为P_2,有两种形式的场分布:一种是P_1始终大于P_2,随着P的增加,P_1越来越大,P_2越来越小,依线性稳定性分析方法,该场分布对应的增益谱主要特征与双芯光纤非对称平面波的增益谱相似;另一种是随着P的增加,P_1越来越小,P_2越来越大,使用同样的分析方法,发现该场分布下增益谱与双芯光纤非对称平面波增益谱截然不同,其显著特征是无扰动下,在正常和反常色散区域均可产生不稳定性增益,且在正常色散区域,零扰动频率对应的增益最强;另一方面,耦合系数色散对增益谱的影响在正常和反常色散区域都非常弱,这与其在双芯光纤中的影响截然不同.该结果对基于多芯光纤的模分复用系统非线性效应的研究具有一定的指导意义.

Modulation instability in negative refractive metamaterials with exponential saturable nonlinearity and self-steepening effects

Modulation instability (MI) in negative refractive metamaterials with exponential saturable nonlinearity and the self-steeping effect is investigated by using the standard linear stability analysis and the Drude electromagnetic model. The dispersion relation, instability condition, cut-off frequency, gain spectrum, and their corresponding dimensionless expressions are analytically deduced and then calculated. The results show that, the self-steepening effect will suppress MI by decreasing the cut-off frequency and the maximum gain. And the larger the power density ratio is, more slowly the cut-off frequency and the maximum gain decrease with increase of the self-steepening parameter. Although the sign of the self-steepening parameter does not influence MI but its absolute value must be smaller than a certain value. Depending on different self-steepening parameters, the cut-off frequency and maximum gain may decrease or increase before decrease with increase of the power density ratio. In particular, for large self-steepening parameters, the power density ratio may have a threshold value. When the power density ratio is under this threshold, MI will disappear.

Also, the influences of those effects on instability of steady-state amplitude, in the form of generation of terahertz pulse train of femtosecond solitons from a weak-modulated signal by induced MI, are numerically simulated and discussed within EDFAs in normalized form.
