光纤光栅激光器激射波长的研究

一般认为，用光纤光栅作选频元件的光纤激光器，激射波长与光纤光栅中心反射波长一致，本文报道了不同的实验研究结果。通过细致的实验研究，发现光纤光栅激光器激射波长相对于光纤光栅中心反射波长有一定的偏移。激射波长可以出现在光栅中心反射波长的长波端，也可以出现在其短波端。对不同腔结构的掺镱、掺铒光纤光栅激光器的深入研究证明，谐振腔的各向异性对激光器的激射波长偏移起到决定性的作用，波长最大偏移量主要受限于光纤光栅的反射带宽。通过激光腔内的偏振控制器改变谐振腔的各向异性，可以在光纤光栅的反射带宽内控制激射波长的位置。

基于监测波峰绝对积分的双折射光子晶体光纤环镜轴向应变传感器研究

理论推导了双折射光纤环镜波长变化与轴向应变的公式,研究表明：双折射光子晶体光纤环镜轴向应变灵敏度比传统双折射光纤环镜大为减小。通过监测双折射光子晶体光纤环镜波长的变化,来实现轴向应变的测量就变得较为困难;且输出干涉光谱局部呈凹凸不平,波长监测容易导致数据测量误差。实验监测双折射光子晶体光纤环镜应变光谱,对应变光谱分析发现：随着应变增加,监测波峰下的绝对积分呈现减小的趋势。进一步精确计算分析发现：监测波峰下的绝对积分与应变成线性关系。基于此,提出了通过监测波峰下的绝对积分的变化,来实现轴向应变的测量。波峰下的绝对积分是表征各波长光强的综合性能指标,通过监测波峰下的绝对积分的变化,来实现轴向应变的测量,不仅可以克服双折射光子晶体光纤环镜监测波长变化的困难,而且还可以克服波长监测局部寻优导致的测量误差。

Fiber-optic tunable loop mirror using Berry's geometric phase

A method is presented for constructing a fiber-optic loop mirror whose reflectivity is tunable even though a fixed-ratio directional coupler is used. The tunability is polarization and wavelength independent and depends only on the geometry of the fiber-tuning element. This loop mirror can be used to transfer energy from one channel to another in a controllable way. We experimentally demonstrate the tunable reflectivity and present some experimental investigations.     

Three methods for improving an axial strain sensitivity of polarization maintaining fiber loop mirror

Sensitivity is one of the important performances for sensor. Theoretical results show that we can choose a long wavelength monitoring point, a high strain dependent birefringence coefficient polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) and a low birefringence PMF to improve the axial strain sensitivity of PMF loop mirror, and experimental results show that the axial strain sensitivity has respectively been improved by 8.06, 30.73, and 22.26% by these methods. The advantage of these methods is to improve the axial strain sensitivity without increasing system complexity. These results help to improve the temperature, displacement, torsion, curvature and liquid level sensitivities of PMF loop mirror. These results can also be applied in photonic crystal fiber loop mirror.     

Discrimination of strain and temperature based on a polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber incorporating an erbium-doped fiber

A simple sensing method for simultaneous measurement of temperature and strain is investigated by using a Sagnac fiber loop mirror composed of a polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF) incorporating an erbium-doped fiber (EDF). Amplified spontaneous emission created by a pumped EDF is transmitted to a Sagnac fiber loop mirror. The interference between two counter-propagating signals in a Sagnac fiber loop mirror generates a periodic transmission spectrum with respect to wavelength. When external temperature is increased, the transmission peak power reduces because the amplified spontaneous emission of the EDF is decreased by the applied temperature change (0.04 dB/°C). The peak wavelength is shifted into the shorter wavelength because of the negative temperature dependence of the birefringence of the PM-PCF (0.3 pm/°C). As the applied strain increases, the peak wavelength of the transmission spectrum of the Sagnac loop mirror incorporating the EDF shifts into a longer wavelength (1.3 pm/με) because the phase change of the proposed sensing probe is directly proportional to the applied strain. The transmission peak power, however, is not changed by the applied strain. Since the source and the sensing probe are integrated, the overall system configuration is significantly simplified without requiring any additional broadband light source. Therefore, it is possible to simultaneously measure temperature and strain by monitoring the variation of transmission peak power and peak wavelength, respectively.     

Comparisons of multi-wavelength oscillations using Sagnac loop mirror and Mach-Zehnder interferometer for ytterbium doped fiber lasers

A multiwavelength Ytterbium-doped fiber ring laser operating at 1030 nm region is demonstrated using a Sagnac loop mirror and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. We report the Performance comparisons of multi-wavelength oscillations in Yb³⁺ doped fiber lasers (YDFL) with typical commercial ytterbium doped silica fibers. By adjusting the polarization controller (PC), a widely tunable laser range of 22 nm from 1030 nm to 1050 nm is obtained. The Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) design has exhibited simplicity in the operation for controlling the smallest wavelength spacing compared to Sagnac loop mirror method. In our observations, the smallest achieved stable wavelength spacing in Sagnac loop mirror setup and MZI setup were 2.1 nm and 0.7 nm, respectively. In case of nine-wavelength operation with a MZI setup, the stability, Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) and side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of laser lines are not affected by increasing pump power, While for above four wavelength operation, the laser stability with Sagnac loop mirror becomes worse specially for higher input pump power and the power fluctuation among the wave-lengths would be also slightly larger.
