Third-Order Dispersion in Linearly Chirped Bragg Gratings and Its Compensation

When fiber optics' quadratic dispersion is compensated, the cubic dispersion determines the transmission quality in an optical link. Although the third-order dispersion coefficient is small in standard fiber optics at the third window, it is not in the linearly chirped grating used to the second-order dispersion equalization. The influence of the grating parameters on its third-order dispersion value is systematically studied and an efficient and low-cost device is proposed thatis numerically proven to cancel the global third-order dispersion that arises from the optical link.     

Dispersion of birefringence and differential group delay in polarization-maintaining fiber

We present an interferometric technique for measurement of the dispersion of birefringence in polarization-maintaining fibers. The approach yields measurements over a broad spectral range from analysis of single interferograms obtained in a tandem inteferometer. The technique is demonstrated to measure first-, second-, and third-order dispersion of the differential propagation constant, corresponding to differential group delay (DGD) and its dispersion to second order; measurements are immune to asymmetry in the interferomgram that is being processed. The technique is further applied to measurement of the temperature dependence of DGD and its first-order dispersion.     

Broadband dispersion compensating fiber using index-guiding photonic crystal fiber with defected core

We present a novel broadband dispersion compensating photonic crystal fiber with defected core in this paper. The small central defect of air hole can flexibly control the chromatic dispersion properties of this kind of photonic crystal fiber. This kind of fiber has broadband large negative chromatic dispersion, and the chromatic dispersion coefficient varies from -440 to -480 ps/（nm.km） in the measured wavelength range of 1500 - 1625 nm. The calculated chromatic dispersion curve is well matched to the measured chromatic dispersion coefficient in the range of 1500 - 1625 nm. The proposed photonic crystal fiber can be used to design the dispersion compensating fiber in the desired wavelength range by adjusting its structural parameters.     

光纤色散参量对光孤子系统传输性能的影响

采用计算机系统仿真方法研究光纤色散参量对应用相敏光放大器(PSA)作为在线放大器并采用平均孤子传输方案的光孤子通信系统传输性能的影响。研究结果表明：由于相敏光放大器增益的相敏特性．光纤色散导致孤子脉冲主瓣幅度下降,脉宽展宽,出现旁瓣。光纤色散值越大,经长距离传输后,孤子脉冲主瓣的幅度下降和脉宽展宽越显著;旁瓣的幅度越高,宽度越大。显然。对这种系统,要实现长距离传输,必须采用较低色散系数光纤。

By establishing a direct relation between the dispersion and the field profile of a coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW) and those of its constituent cavities, we present a systematic method for the design of a single-mode CROW and for control of its dispersion. The procedure includes the design of a single-mode cavity and control of its frequency by engineering its structure. Then, by chaining these cavities in the proper direction and at an appropriate distance, we achieve the desired dispersion for the CROW.

The study of chromatic dispersion and chromatic dispersion slope of WI- and WII-type triple-clad single-mode fibers

In this paper, the chromatic dispersion and chromatic dispersion slope of two kinds of triple-clad single-mode fibers with a depressed index inner cladding named WI- and WII-type were examined. A feasible approach to calculate chromatic dispersion and higher-order dispersion was established successfully, and the influences made by the optical parameters and geometric parameters on the chromatic dispersion coefficient and its slope were analyzed in detail. The calculated results show that the optical parameter R₂, which symbolizes the third cladding effect, has a strong impact on the chromatic dispersion coefficient and the chromatic dispersion slope, and the degrees of such impact are closely related to the other parameters.

We here propose and demonstrate a nuclear magnetic resonance method for the measurement of this tensor, validating its implementation for the case of cylindrical Couette flow, and demonstrating its application to the study of fluid dispersion in a random bead pack.     

光学玻璃的特殊色散机理

本文对光学玻璃的特殊色散机理进行了深入研究。研究认为,光学玻璃的特殊色散性能表征参数主要是相对部分色散偏离值ΔP_(g,F),ΔP_(g,F)绝对值越大,表明光学玻璃的特殊色散越大,越有利于消除光学系统的二级光谱。光学玻璃的特殊色散机理是由紫外和红外本征吸收引起。色散曲线中本征吸收峰的漂移和强弱将影响可见光区色散曲线斜率,进而使玻璃的相对部分色散偏离值变化。紫外本征吸收是由电子跃迁引起的;而红外本征吸收是由分子或分子集团振动造成的。开展特殊色散机理研究不仅可以深入揭示光学玻璃的"组分-结构-性能"关系规律,而且有助于开发特殊色散性能更优异的新型光学玻璃。     

Dispersion compensation using high-positive dispersive optical fibers

The common and traditional method for optical dispersion compensation is concatenating the transmitting optical fiber by a compensating optical fiber having a high-negative dispersion coefficient.In this Letter,we take the opposite direction and show how an optical fiber with a high-positive dispersion coefficient is used for dispersion compensation.Our optical dispersion compensating structure is the optical implementation of an iterative algorithm in signal processing.The proposed dispersion compensating system is constructed by cascading a number of compensating sub-systems,and its compensation capability is improved by increasing the number of embedded sub-systems.We also show that the compensation capability is a trade-off between the transmission length and bandwidth.We use the simulation results to validate the performance of the introduced dispersion compensating module.Photonic crystal fibers with high-positive dispersion coefficients can be used for constructing the proposed optical dispersion compensating module.

In this paper, the improvement in dispersion tolerance of high-speed transmission link with directly modulated laser is presented. The method is based on adopting the laser modulation (its amplitude and depth) accordingly to the dispersion of actual link. As it is shown, the tolerance of negative dispersion may be doubled and of positive increased even seven times. The simulations are proved by hardware experiment, in which the extended dispersion tolerance is demonstrated.     

Dispersion Properties of Photonic Crystal Fiber: Comparison by Scalar and Fully Vectorial Effective Index Methods

The development of analysis and simulation of propagation characteristics of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) using scalar and fully vectorial effective index methods are described. As a result, we report how the fundamental space filling mode, guided mode and dispersion of the PCF depends on its structural parameters like its normalized air hole spacing, center-to-center spacing of the air holes in the photonic crystal or pitch and radius of the unit cell. Normalized frequency parameter V_eff as a function of normalized wavelength for various relative air hole sizes is obtained to estimate the dispersion characteristics of PCF. It is observed that wavelength of zero dispersion, ultraflattened dispersion response and high negative dispersion remarkably differ from two different effective index methods.

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.

A tunable chromatic dispersion and dispersion slope compensator is proposed that has a single lattice-form filter configuration. Wavelength dependence is intentionally added to its tunable couplers, which produces dispersion slope compensation in addition to the dispersion compensation. Dispersion tunability of +/- 500 ps/nm and a slope of -4.9 ps/nm(2) over 40 GHz are successfully demonstrated, thus meeting the requirement for 40 Gbits/s differential quadrature phase shift keying transmission with an 80 km long nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber.
