两种单光纤光镊捕获效果的数值仿真与实验研究

采用一种基于时域有限差分(FDTD)的数值算法,仿真计算了抛物线形和大锥角形两种新型单光纤光镊的出射光场,并在稳态场下通过对麦克斯韦应力张量积分求得介质球在两种光场中受到的光阱力,得到大锥角型光纤端产生的光阱力较大的结论;讨论了不同介质球大小、折射率,光纤探针形状对光阱力的影响.在实验中这两种光纤探针都实现了对水中酵母菌细胞的捕获,且采用流体力学法对抛物线形和大锥角形二种新型单光纤光镊产生的光阱力进行了标定.结果表明:基于FDTD数值仿真方法计算受力与实验结果一致,并且这种计算光纤光镊产生的光阱力的方法简单.适用;且抛物线形和大锥角形光纤探头都具备构成单光纤光镊的条件.     

光纤通信系统中基于光学相位共轭和预啁啾的色散及非线性补偿研究

采用光学相位共轭补偿光纤通信系统的色散及非线性必须满足一个前提条件,即相位共轭器两边线路上的色散和非线性分布(或传输功率分布)必须严格对称,这在现有的一般传输线路（标准单模光纤加集总掺铒光纤放大器）难以实现。提出了预啁啾结合中距相位共轭的补偿方案,并进行了数值计算。结果表明,通过在发送端对输入脉冲进行预啁啾展宽,可有效地减轻非线性效应与色散的相互作用,获得理想的补偿效果;对于皮秒超短光脉冲传输,脉冲内拉曼散射相对于三阶色散对补偿结果的影响很小,因此,频域相位共轭相对于时域相位共轭具有更好的综合补偿性能。该方案简单易行,无需对已敷设好的线路作较大改动。     

Analysis and Simulation of Adiabatic Bend Transitions in Optical Fibers

A low-loss criterion for bend transitions in optical fibers is proposed. An optical fiber can be tightly bent with low loss to be adiabatic for the fundamental mode, provided that an approximate upper bound on the rate of change of bend curvature for a given bend curvature is satistied. Two typical adiabatic bend transition paths, the optimum profile and linear protile, are analyzed and studied numerically. A realizable adiabatic transition with an Archimedean spiral profile is introduced for low bend loss in tightly bent optical fibers. Design of the transitions is based on modeling of the propagation and coupling characteristics of the core and cladding modes, which clearly illustrate the physical processes involved.

Optical nanofibers and spectroscopy

We review our recent progress in the production and characterization of tapered optical fibers with a sub-wavelength diameter waist. Such fibers exhibit a pronounced evanescent field and are therefore a useful tool for highly sensitive evanescent wave spectroscopy of adsorbates on the fiber waist or of the medium surrounding. We use a carefully designed flame pulling process that allows us to realize preset fiber diameter profiles. In order to determine the waist diameter and to verify the fiber profile, we employ scanning electron microscope measurements and a novel accurate in situ optical method based on harmonic generation. We use our fibers for linear and nonlinear absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy of surface-adsorbed organic molecules and investigate their agglomeration dynamics. Furthermore, we apply our spectroscopic method to quantum dots on the surface of the fiber waist and to cesium vapor surrounding the fiber. Finally, toward dispersive measurements, we present our first results on building and testing a single-fiber bimodal interferometer.

凹形色散分布光纤中超连续谱特性分析

比较了在不同色散分布的色散渐减光纤中超连续（SC）谱的产生。结果表明,当光纤的色散值关于中心波长对称、且随着传输距离增加,经由反常色散区过渡到正常色散区的、凹形色散分布的色散渐减光纤更有利于产生平坦、带宽的超连续谱。从频域的全场方程出发,模拟了脉冲在光纤中的传输情形,发现脉冲在凹形色散分布的光纤中传输时,不仅在反常色散区能更大程度被压缩,在正常色散区由于存在零色散波长点,还能更进一步展宽,从而得到更宽、更平坦的超连续谱。在谱强为-27dB时,谱宽可达到298nm,比相同情况下的凸形色散的光纤中超连续谱增宽97nm。结果显示,凹形色散分布的光纤比凸形色散分布的光纤在超连续谱的产生上有更明显的优势,可以得到更宽的超连续谱。

Fabrication and Evaluation of Silica-based Optical Fiber Probes by Chemical Etching Method

A sensor probe with a microstructure, which is used for near-field scanning optical microscopes, plays an important role in the resolution and detection sensitivity of the microscope system. In this study, we devised a system for sharpening optical fibers, by which we could fabricate tapered tips of silica-based optical fibers reproducibly in a desired shape by controlling the solution temperature, etching time, and etching depth when applying chemical etching techniques using hydrofluoric acid. Furthermore, we evaluated the diameter of the core tip of an optical fiber by measuring the near-field pattern and comparing it with the Gaussian beam pattern of a non-edge-etched optical fiber. A strong correlation between the ratio of the 1/e²-value width of the beam profile of the near-field pattern to that of the Gaussian beam and the diameter of the extreme tip of the core became apparent. © 2005 The Optical Society of Japan     

Optical properties of ytterbium-doped tandem-pumped fiber oscillator

With the rapid development of ytterbium-doped fiber lasers, some obtrusive limitations on power scaling appeared. In order to avoid these problems, a scheme called tandem pumping is introduced into the fiber laser field. In this paper, the optical properties of an ytterbium-doped tandem-pumped fiber oscillator are presented. According to the oscillator profile, the proper gain fiber type and pump wavelength range are picked out, under the comprehensive consideration of laser conversion efficiency and beam quality. In addition, the photodarkening performances of tandem pumping lasers and conventional ones are compared based on practical application, with all possible impact parameters taken into account. Moreover, an all-fibered tandem-pumped oscillator centered at 1079.5 nm is built, in the way of clad pumping by a 1030-nm fiber laser. The laser power of the oscillator reaches 7 W, with an opto-optic efficiency of 82.4%.
