Dispersion Compensators Based on Overlaped Linearly Chirped Fiber Gratings for DWDM Systems

By introducing a convergent lens in the phase mask setup and by tilting appropriately the fiber from the phase mask, a linearly chirped fiber grating with an appropriate chirp can be obtained conveniently. Using this method, two groups of fiber gratings, each of them is composed of 8 overlaped linearly chirped fiber gratings but with different center reflection wavelength separations (～0.8 nm and ～1.6 nm, respectively) are fabricated. Experimental results show that, the compensators based on the two groups of fiber gratings can be used to compensate for the dispersion of 8×2.5 Gb/s transmission over 100 km of standard single-mode fiber for multiple channels in optical time-division multiplexing (OTDM) and densed wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM).     

Study on the ferroelectric phase transition in potassium lithium niobate (KLN)

The ferroelectric phase of potassium lithium niobate K₃Li_2–xNb_5+xO_15+2x (KLN) in the range of 0.15 < x < 0.5 is a very promising material for the second harmonic generation (SHG) in the blue visible region (∼410 nm). The ferroelectric phase transition was shown to occur between 400 and 500°C depending on the composition of the KLN phase. In this study several analysis techniques were used to investigate the phase transition on ferroelectric (x = 0.3) KLN samples. The temperature‐dependent measurements of the relative dielectric constant ε₃₃ provided a phase transition temperature of about 470°C. In our DTA experiments, a small but reproducible thermal effect at the phase transition in KLN was indicated. The temperature‐dependent birefringence measurement technique, applied the first time on KLN, shows a second order behaviour at a temperature of 467 °C. However, this phase transition is accompanied by a small thermal effect. The DSC analysis for the other KLN composition (x = 0.5) provided a phase transition temperature of 514 °C. The appearance of a phase transition in the paraelectric KLN phase (Nb content higher than 55 mol%) was also studied. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Synthesis,growth and characterization of S‐benzyl isothiouronium chloride single crystals

S‐Benzyl isothiouronium chloride single crystals were grown at room temperature by slow evaporation solution growth technique. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction study has been carried out to find the crystal system and unit cell parameters. Various functional groups present in the grown material have been identified using FTIR spectra. The transparency of crystal was tested using UV‐visible spectra. The grown crystal exhibits second harmonic generation (SHG). TGA/DTA analysis also carried out. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Suppression of the interactions between fibre gratings used as dispersion compensators in dense wavelength-division multiplexing systems

Chirped fibre Bragg gratings (CFBGs) are required to be concatenated to compensate the fibre dispersion in the dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. When the channel spacing is small, the performance of CFBGs is degraded, which restricts the usage of fibre gratings. The origin of the interactions between the gratings is analysed and methods of suppressing the interactions are also proposed.     

Synthesis,growth and characterization of l‐alaninium oxalate ‐ a novel organic NLO crystal

Nonlinear optical material of L‐alaninium oxalate (LAO) has been synthesized and single crystals are grown by slow evaporation technique. The solubility data of LAO is determined in water. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction study showed that LAO belongs to orthorhombic system with a non‐centrosymmetric space‐group P2₁2₁2₁. The functional groups have been identified from FT‐IR spectrum. The UV‐Vis‐NIR spectrum of LAO shows less optical absorption in the entire visible region. The second harmonic generation (SHG) in the material was estimated using Nd:YAG laser. The mechanical properties of the grown crystals are studied using Vickers microhardness tester. The AC and DC conductivity, and dielectric studies are also carried out and reported for the first time. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

The system of L-band 2×10 Gb/s WDM transmission over conventional single mode fibre with 600 km by chirped fibre Bragg gratings dispersion compensation

A chirped fibre Bragg grating according to ITU-T suggested L-band (2nd channel $\lambda _{1}=1570.83$~nm; 80th channel $\lambda _{2}=1603.57$ nm) with more than 1800 ps/nm single channel dispersion compensation is presented in this paper, of which the cladding mode loss, the delay curve ripple and the power fluctuation of the reflected spectrum are less than 0.5 dB, 50 ps and 0.25 dB, respectively. With this new FBG as dispersion compensation device, a $2\times 10$ Gb/s wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) L-band transmission of 600 km based on conventional single mode fibre (G.652 fibre) is performed without forward error correction. The bit error rate (BER) is less than 10$^{ - 12}$ and the power penalties of the 2{nd} and 80{th} channel of L-band are 1.8~dB and 2.0~dB, respectively.
