抽运光参数对受激布里渊散射的影响

受激布里渊散射（SBS）系统中,具有一定带宽的抽运激光中会含有一定比例的Stokes散射光成分，此Stokes散射光成分经SBS介质后表面反射后，将形成种子光与抽运光联合入射，构成自种子光式SBS放大器.通过数值求解此SBS放大器型耦合波方程组，探讨了抽运光脉冲中所含Stokes散射光成分的比例、抽运激光波长、抽运光能量大小、入射的聚焦高斯光脉冲脉宽、相互作用时间等激光参数对SBS特征参数（Stokes散射光脉冲波形、材料内部最大应力的时间演化及空间分布、脉宽压缩效果、能量提取效率及Stokes散射光的共轭保真度）的影响.同时发现，SBS过程中产生的超声应力不仅会对SBS介质前表面造成破坏，还可能对焦点附近造成破坏；调整各激光参数还会使焦点附近优于前表面先破坏.数值模拟中采用的抽运光是聚焦高斯光束. 关键词： 受激布里渊散射 斯托克斯散射光 冲击应力 能量反射率     

抽运能量对受激布里渊散射光限幅特性的影响

采用布里渊噪声起源模型,数值模拟了受激布里渊散射介质CCl4对波长1064nm的Nd：YAG纳秒激光脉冲的传输特性及光限幅特性。入射抽运脉冲能量较低时,非线性介质对纳秒激光脉冲呈光学透明。入射抽运脉冲能量高于受激布里渊散射产生阈值后,透射脉冲峰值受限,脉宽压缩,能量趋于饱和,说明该光学系统同时具有光功率限幅和能量限幅的光限幅特性。利用理论模型模拟了如下光限幅参量：透射脉冲峰值功率、透射能量、能量透射率、脉宽压缩率依赖抽运光能量的变化关系。相应的理论模拟计算结果由实验进行验证,实验结果与理论模拟相符合。     

反射光中Stokes成分对受激布里渊散射过程的影响

区别于传统的受激布里渊散射(SBS)发生器和放大器，提出了一种新型的SBS模型：自供种子光模型(self stokes seeding,SSS). 通过对抽运光波形函数的傅里叶变换得到了Stokes成分在抽运光中所占的比例，即Stokes能量比. 考虑SSS效应，数值求解了SSS耦合波方程组，得到了SBS反射率的时间演变形式，理论研究发现，当抽运光正入射到平板样品上时，反射光中的Stokes成分极大地促进了SBS起振过程，其结果相当于反向注入一定强度的种子光，而Stokes能量比的大小决定了SBS过程起振 关键词： 光学材料 受激布里渊散射 傅里叶分析 斯托克斯种子光

单纵模Nd∶YAG激光抽运CH_4中强后向受激拉曼散射

用单纵模Nd∶YAG二倍频激光[波长532 nm,线宽Δνp<100 MHz,脉宽(半峰全宽)6.5 ns]抽运CH4气体,观察到很强的后向一级斯托克斯(BS1)受激拉曼散射,这与前人采用脉宽30 ns的单纵模抽运激光得到的绝大部分为后向受激布里渊散射(SBS)完全不同,其原因是脉宽6.5 ns与本实验条件下CH4的受激布里渊散射声子寿命接近,受激布里渊散射处于瞬态。理论计算表明,这时的受激布里渊散射瞬态增益系数已略小于后向一级斯托克斯的增益系数,而被其竞争抑制。当脉冲重复频率为2 Hz,抽运能量为95 mJ时,在1.1 MPa CH4中,后向一级斯托克斯的量子转换效率高达73%,其时间波形出现张弛振荡,脉宽被压窄到1.2 ns,从而使后向一级斯托克斯峰值功率达到了抽运激光功率的2.7倍,而且其光束质量要大大优于抽运激光的光束质量。用编制的准二维计算机模型程序相当好地再现了实验中后向一级斯托克斯的时间波形张弛振荡。     

Threshold features of a Brillouin Stokes comb generated in a distributed fiber Raman amplifier

We study threshold features of a Brillouin-shifted Stokes comb generated in a distributed fiber Raman amplifier. When the input power of Brillouin pump is linearly increased in high Raman gain, the first Stokes wave grows exponentially at much lower threshold power and then experiences an appreciable power decrease in the vicinity of the Brillouin comb's threshold. This power reduction of the first Brillouin Stokes, which we did not see mentioned in previous reports, was caused by a power transfer to higher-order lines and initiated Brillouin comb generation. Moreover, the effects of Raman pump power and pumping direction on the threshold of a Brillouin comb are investigated.     

大功率单频多芯光纤放大器中抑制受激布里渊散射的分析

S波段光纤拉曼放大器中级联受激布里渊散射串扰的实验研究

研究了光纤激光器前向抽运的S波段分布式光纤拉曼放大器中级联的受激布里渊散射(SBS)串扰现象。用窄光谱带宽(<100MHz)的可调谐激光二极管作为信号源,通过S波段分布式光纤拉曼放大器,当被放大的信号功率超过单模光纤受激布里渊散射的阈值时,出现了前向受激布里渊散射,这是传导声波布里渊散射在光纤放大器中放大的现象。随着拉曼放大器抽运功率的提高,在斯托克斯区,出现了两阶受激布里渊散射线,在实验中观测到偶数阶的受激布里渊散射谱线功率大于奇数阶的布里渊一瑞利散射线。当进一步增加拉曼放大器的抽运功率,出现了前向级联的多阶受激布里渊散射现象,拉曼放大器的增益下降,被放大的信号功率转换为受激布里渊散射,噪声变大。受激布里渊散射的串扰破坏了拉曼放大器的特性,使拉曼放大器无法在密集波分复用光纤传输系统中使用,因此需要严格地控制入纤的信号功率和放大器的抽运功率。在实验中还观测到在光纤拉曼放大器中被放大的信号光和受激布里渊散射线两侧的伴线。     

Amplification effect on SBS and Rayleigh scattering in the backward pumped distributed fiber Raman amplifier

The amplification effect on stimulated Brillouin scattering （SBS） and Rayleigh scattering in the backward pumped G652 fiber Raman amplifier （FRA） is studied. The pump source is a 1427.2-nm fiber Raman laser whose power is tunable between 0 - 1200 mW, and the signal source is a tunable narrow spectral bandwidth （〈 10 MHz） external cavity laser （ECL）. The Rayleigh scattering lines are amplified by the FRA and Stokes SBS lines are amplified by the FRA and the fiber Brillouin amplifier. The total gain of SBS lines is the production of the gain of Raman amplifier and that of Brillouin amplifier. In experiment, the SBS gain is about 42 dB and the saturation gain of 25-km G652 backward FRA is about 25 dB, so the gain of fiber Brillouin amplifier is about 17 dB.     

Long Optical Delay Lines Enhanced by Ring Configuration in Optical Fibres

A long optically controlled delay line enhanced by ring configuration is demonstrated by using the group-velocity control of signal pulses based on stimulated Brillouin scattering. In experiment, two optical fibre ring cavities are used： one is used as the Brillouin laser, providing single-mode Stokes wave as probe wave; the other is used as the Brillouin amplifier, working as slow light medium. We achieve a maximum time delay of 215ns using the ring Brillouin amplifier, five times larger than the input probe pulse width of 40ns. In the meantime, a considerable pulse broadening is observed, which agrees well with the theoretical prediction based on linear theory.     

Directivity influence of signals propagation through EDFA gain medium of Brillouin-erbium fiber laser

We experimentally demonstrate a multiwavelength Brillouin-erbium fiber laser in two configurations; uni-directional and bi-directional propagation of Brillouin pump and Brillouin Stokes signals through an Erbium-doped fiber gain. The influence of these configurations on the performance of the output parameters in terms of lasing threshold, output channel generation and tuning range of the generated output channels are investigated. We discovered that there is a trade-off between these two fiber laser configurations. The uni-directional amplifier configuration provides greater tuning range of 46.8 nm against 23 nm at maximum Brillouin pump power of 2 mW and 1480-nm pump power of 130 mW. On the other hand, the bi-directional amplifier configuration provides 13 output channels against 6 output channels obtained from the uni-directional amplifier configuration at the same pumping powers. Nevertheless, the bi-directional amplifier configuration requires much lower pump power to initiate lasing.     

Dynamics of the Stokes pulse in a Brillouin amplifier

We show that the output Stoke pulse from a continuously (CW) pumped stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) amplifier is the sum of the transmitted input Stokes pulse, which propagates undistorted through the medium without amplification and additional delay, and of a Stokes shifted pump signal reflected by the electrostrictively induced acoustic wave, which contributes to the Stokes output signal with a delay determined by the time required for build up of the acoustic wave.     

Amplification effect on stimulated Brillouin scattering in the S-band forward G652 fiber Raman amplifier

The amplification effects on forward and backward stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) lines in the forward pumped S-band distributed G652 fiber Raman amplifier (FRA) have been studied. There is a pump threshold power of Stokes backward stimulated Brillouin scattering (B-SBS) line in the forward pumped G652 FRA, it is about 1 mW. The Stokes B-SBS lines are amplified by FRA and fiber Brillouin Brillouin gain. In experimental work, the saturation gain of the first order Stokes backward SBS line is about 58 dB and the saturation gain of 25-km G652 forward FRA is about 25 dB, so the gain of FBA is about 33 dB. The forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (F-SBS) is generated and amplified in S-band G652 FRA. The stimulated threshold powers of the forward first order Stokes SBS (SB1-), second order Stokes SBS (SB2-), and third order SBS (SB3-) in the forward pumped FRA are 2.3, 1.6, and 1.6 mW,respectively. In experimental work, the saturation gains of SB1-, SB2-, and SB3- are about 38, 62, and 60 dB, respectively. The saturation Raman gain of 25-km G652 forward FRA is about 8.8 dB, so the Brillouin gains of SB1-, SB2-, and SB3- are about 29.2, 53.2, and 51.2 dB, respectively. The forward and backward cascaded SBS lines have been observed.
