水中受激布里渊散射脉冲的反常压缩

受激布里渊散射(SBS)具有脉冲压缩的特性,受激布里渊散射的脉冲宽度随着抽运能量的增大而变小,在水中可以达到几百皮秒的量级.本文在实验上观察到一种受激布里渊散射的脉冲宽度随抽运能量增大而变大的现象,这里称之为反常压缩.SBS的脉冲反常压缩和脉冲压缩与抽运光的强弱会聚情况有关.利用数值模拟,模拟了强弱会聚情况下抽运光在水中的传输规律,强弱会聚情况的抽运光对受激布里渊散射形成的有效增益长度不同:抽运光强会聚时有效增益长度短,形成SBS脉冲宽度的反常压缩;弱会聚时有效增益长度长,也就是正常的SBS脉冲压缩.

Numerical investigation on buffer performance based on acoustic excitation by stimulated Brillouin scattering in an As2Se3 fiber

Buffer performance of a 2.5 Gb/s bit stream with non-return-to-zero format is investigated based on acoustic excitation by stimulated Brillouin scattering in an As₂Se₃ fiber. The storage process and the retrieval process of the bit stream are separately controlled by a “Write” pulse and a “Read” pulse. The research results show that the output signal-to-noise ratio and the readout efficiency of the buffer are agreeable, and the pulse distortion is low, if both the “Write” and the “Read” pulses are with high enough peak power and spectrum wider than that of the signal pulse. Buffering of a consecutive 10-bit-long 2.5 Gb/s NRZ bit stream has also been demonstrated in the As₂Se₃ fiber with length of only 0.5 m. The storage of a long bit stream, such as the data packet containing about 1000 bits in the telecommunications, is limited by the high loss in the As₂Se₃ fiber. However, the development of the special optical fiber with high Brillouin gain coefficient, long acoustic lifetime and low loss can make this technology applicable for all-optical buffering in high speed optical networks.     

Storing optical information as a mechanical excitation in a silica optomechanical resonator

We report the experimental demonstration of storing optical information as a mechanical excitation in a silica optomechanical resonator. We use writing and readout laser pulses tuned to one mechanical frequency below an optical cavity resonance to control the coupling between the mechanical displacement and the optical field at the cavity resonance. The writing pulse maps a signal pulse at the cavity resonance to a mechanical excitation. The readout pulse later converts the mechanical excitation back to an optical pulse. The storage lifetime is determined by the relatively long damping time of the mechanical excitation.

Effect of water temperature on pulse duration and energy of stimulated Brillouin scattering

The water temperature has a strong effect on the kinematic viscosity, which is inversely proportional to the phonon lifetime and the gain coefficient. The higher the temperature is, the smaller the kinematic viscosity is, and the larger the phonon lifetime is. At a low pump power and a short focal length, we can derive a single-peak stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) pulse. The duration of this single-peak SBS pulse depends mainly on the phonon lifetime of water. With the increase of the water temperature, the duration of such a single-peak SBS pulse will become longer, and the SBS energy will become higher for the gain coefficient, which is related to the phonon lifetime. Therefore, varying the medium temperature can lead to the changes of SBS pulse duration and SBS energy.     

Low distortion, continuously tunable, positive and negative time delays by slow and fast light using stimulated Brillouin scattering

We demonstrate a single optical timing module that can provide both tunable delay and advancement with low distortion using a reconfigurable gain medium based on stimulated Brillouin scattering. Dual-stage intensity modulation method is used to achieve optimized gain profiles for both slow- and fast-light operation. Using 6.5 ns Gaussian pulses, we demonstrate a continuous temporal adjustment from a fractional advancement of 0.31 to a fractional delay of 0.82, giving more than a full pulse width of total tunability.     

毫米级高分辨率的混沌激光分布式光纤测温技术

近年来,随着分布式光纤传感技术在各大基础设施健康监测领域的广泛应用,人们对能够实现毫米量级精准定位和监测技术的需求日益增长.本文提出了一种基于宽线宽混沌激光的高分辨率分布式光纤测温技术.实验通过改变光反馈混沌源的偏振匹配态和反馈强度等外部参数,产生了–3 dB线宽约为7.5 GHz的宽线宽混沌激光,并在300 m传感光纤实现了空间分辨率为7.05 mm的分布式温度测量.同时,为了抑制光源线宽增加造成的布里渊增益谱恶化,在泵浦路中引入了时间门控技术,其中经脉冲调制后的泵浦光峰值功率提高了约9.5 dB,同时脉冲调制使混沌互相关锁定于脉冲持续时间内,从而布里渊增益谱的信号背景噪声比由约2.28 dB提升为4.55 dB,最终实现了空间分辨率为3.12 mm的分布式温度测量.     

Effect of Guided Acoustic Wave Brillouin Scattering on Pulsed Squeezing in Optical Fibers with Nonlinearity and Dispersion

Quadrature squeezed light generation with optical pulses in a fiber loop mirror is analyzed through computer simulation. The effect of guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering (GAWBS) in optical fibers as well as those of nonlinearities and chromatic dispersions are considered for the first time. The relation between the GAWBS noise and the optical pulse width is discussed in detail. It is found that the nearly fundamental soliton pulse is optimum to get the largest squeezing even if the GAWBS noise is effective. The broadened pulses suffer larger degradation of squeezing due to this noise.     

Zero-broadening of the retrieved data-pulse based on stimulated Brillouin scattering light storage in an optical fiber

It was numerically demonstrated that a 2-ns-long Gaussian shaped and a 2-ns-long rectangular shaped data-pulse are fully retrieved as original via stimulated Brillouin scattering light storage process in an optical fiber. Zero-broadening without distortion data-pulse light storage is realized. In our study, for a given data-pulse, there are two conditions for it is fully retrieved: (1) the spectrum of the control-pulse is engineered so that the spectral width of the pulses is changed, making possible to match at best the data-pulse spectrum. (2) control-pulse temporal distribution profile must be suitable for the data-pulse. We also proved that the readout efficiency of completely retrieved data-pulse is the biggest. Because the Gaussian shaped data-pulse relative optical spectral bandwidth is the narrowest, it is easier to be retrieved.     

Influence of medium parameters on power limiting characteristic in stimulated Brillouin scattering process

By adopting noise initiation model of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), the influence of phonon lifetime and gain coefficient of medium on power limiting characteristic is numerically investigated. Through using actual parameters of three media, CCl4, acetone, and CS2, the waveforms of transmitted pulses are simulated. The result shows that different media have little effect on the front peak of waveform,while have an obvious effect on the height of power limiting platform. When the medium which has short phonon lifetime and small gain coefficient is used, the height of power limiting platform is comparatively high. In experiment, by focusing 1064-nm, 8-ns, 18-mJ pulses into these three media, the waveforms of transmitted pulses are obtained. The experimental results are in good agreement with conclusions of theoretical simulations.
