光子晶体光纤布拉格光栅传输谱特性的分析

研究光子晶体光纤中光纤光栅的传输谱特性对于研制基于光子晶体光纤的光纤光栅器件有着重要的意义。结合耦合模理论和光束传输相关函数方法,对一种典型光子晶体光纤中的布拉格光栅(FBG)传输谱进行了理论分析。比较了光子晶体光纤中布拉格光栅与常规布拉格光栅的传输谱。数值分析了光纤截面结构变化对于光栅传输谱的影响,并给出这种影响的定性解释。计算结果显示,与常规光纤光栅相比,包层模共振引起的损耗峰与正反向纤芯模耦合引起的损耗峰可以相比拟,而包层模共振的间隔也比常规光纤中光纤光栅的包层模共振间隔要大。同时给出了晶体光纤截面上空气孔的占空比,空气孔的排布层数对于传输谱影响的规律。

A self-seeded fiber laser incorporated with a fiber Bragg grating external cavity semiconductor laser

A self-seeded fiber laser incorporated with a fiber Bragg grating external cavity semiconductor laser (FBG-ECL) and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) were reported in this paper. The MZI provided a Q-switching with response time in the order of micro-seconds. The FBG-ECL provided narrow pulses as seeds to shorten the Q-switched pulses. Experimentally, pulse width of 0.8 μs was measured, which was one fifth of the pulse width without self-seeding.     

Seed laser frequency stabilization for Doppler wind lidar

We demonstrate a tunable wavelength-locked seed laser source with high-frequency stability to realize the precise measurements of global atmospheric wind field. An Nd:YAG laser at 1 064 nm is used as the master laser (ML). Its frequency is locked to a confocal Fabry-Perot interferometer by using the Pound-Drever- Hall method, which ensures the peak-to-peak value of its frequency drifts less than 180 kHz over 2 h. Another Nd:YAG laser at 1 064 nm, as the slave laser, is offset-locked to the above ML using optical phase locked loop, retaining virtually the same absolute frequency stability as the ML. The tunable ranges of the frequency differences between two lasers are up to 3 GHz, and the tuning step length was an arbitrary integral multiple of 200 kHz. The researched seed laser source is compact and robust, which can well satisfy the requirement of the Doppler wind lidar.     

Channel spacing halving and multi-channel apodisation of sampling fiber Bragg grating based on Moire effect

Channel spacing halving and multi-channel apodisation of sampling fiber Bragg grating (SFBG) based on Moire effect are demonstrated, which are realized by stretching and double exposure in fabrication of the SFBG. The experiment and theoretical analysis showed that the channel spacing could be halved when the period of Moire grating was four times of the period of sampling and the initial phase difference of two exposures was even times of m. The multi-channel apodisation could be realized when the period of Moire fringe was twice the length of SFBG and the initial phase difference of two exposures was odd times of m. A novel method to control the initial phase difference of two exposures is presented in this paper. Using this technique, we fabricated two SFBGs with channel spacing of 50 and 100 G by a same phase mask and an apodized SFBG with channel spacing of 100 G.     

长周期光纤光栅和双锥形光纤间的倏逝波耦合作用

对长周期光纤光栅和双锥形光纤之间的倏逝波耦合作用进行了研究。理论分析和实验研究表明,由于锥形光纤和长周期光纤光栅物理边界外倏逝波之间的交叠,长周期光纤光栅产生的包层模,可以耦合到锥形光纤的包层模并从锥形光纤的纤芯输出。要获得高的耦合效率,应满足模式匹配的条件,同时要尽量减小两光纤之间的距离。耦合特性还与长周期光栅和双锥形光纤的相对位置有关,为获得高的耦合效率,耦合区应位于长周期光栅区的后面。这种倏逝波耦合作用,为监测实际应用系统中长周期光纤光栅的特性提供了一种新方法;为利用锥形光纤和长周期光纤光栅开发新型光纤器件,提供了一种可能的方案。     

无需隔离器的单向运行光纤环形激光器的研究

从理论上设计并从实验上实现了一种简单易行的环形谐振腔结构,它仅由两个耦合器连接成一个环形谐振腔,可以使得逆时针运行光的增益高于顺时针运行光的增益,其比值取决于两个耦合器耦合比的选取。将此作为掺铒光纤激光器的谐振腔,由于两个相反方向具有不同的损耗,因而可以实现在不需要隔离器的情况下也能保证激光的单向运行,从而简化了器件结构,消除隔离器的插入损耗,降低了成本。在实验的过程中使用两个3dB耦合器,结果表明,在阈值及其以上抽运功率下,两个相反方向的输出功率差始终大于17dBm,基本实现了激光的单向运行。     

室温下稳定的多波长掺铒光纤激光器的研究

通过在线形谐振腔中引入一段缠绕在压电陶瓷上的单模光纤作为正弦相位调制器,使得激射波长的损耗不固定,抑制由于掺铒光纤的均匀展宽效应引起的模式竞争,从而避免了在室温下不稳定的单波长激射,实现了多波长掺铒光纤激光器的稳定输出。为了获得平坦的多波长输出,在谐振腔里使用了一个损耗峰位于1530nm处的长周期光纤光栅,以获得较为平坦的增益谱。通过两个3dB耦合器制成的反射型梳状滤波器的滤波作用,实验中观察到稳定的多波长激射,相邻波长间隔约为0．45nm。中心9个波长的输出功率平坦度为10dB,边模抑制比大于25dB。
