基于自调Q光纤激光器的基本理论,结合速率方程理论与自调Q特点,借助简化的环形腔掺Er3+光纤激光器模型,分析了泵浦功率与自调Q脉冲周期、峰值功率的关系.随着泵浦功率的增加,光纤激光器自调Q脉冲的周期减小,峰值功率变大；当信号光强足够大时,激光器的自调Q现象消失,变为准连续激光输出.通过MATLAB编程对光纤激光器输出特性进行了数值模拟,模拟结果与实验结果基本相符.

Fibre-Format Photonic Source Based on Efficient Frequency Doubling of Continuous-Wave Erbium-Fibre Laser Amplifier

We demonstrate a compact photonic device based on efficient and wavelength-tunable doubling of an all fibreformat source. Quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation in periodically poled lithium niobate is used to generate 90.6 m W at 775.9 nm with a single-pass conversion efficiency of 14.7%. A t uning bandwidth of 2.1 nm and a tuning temperature range of 150.6 ± 1.7℃ can be achieved. The Er-doped seed fibre source is amplified by a clad-pumped Er^3＋/Yb^3＋-codoped fibre laser with a high output power up to 2.18 W over a tunable wavelength range from 1535nm to 1570nm.     

Multi-Path Ghost Imaging by Means of an Additional Time Correlation

Ghost imaging functions achieved by means of the spatial correlations between two photons is a new modality in imaging systems. With a small number of photons, ghost imaging is usually realized based on the position correlation of photon pairs produced from the spontaneous parametric down-conversion process. Here we demonstrate a way to realize multi-path ghost imaging by introducing an additional time correlation. Different delays of paths will induce the shift of the coincidence peak, which carries the information about objects. By choosing the suitable coincidence window, we obtain images of three objects simultaneously, with a visibility of 87.2%.This method provides insights and techniques into multi-parameter ghost imaging. It can be applied to other correlated imaging systems, for example, quantum spiral imaging.     

S-Band Gain-Flattened Double-Pass Discrete Fibre Raman Amplifiers Using Mechanically Induced Long-Period Fibre Gratings

We experimentally demonstrate an S-band double-pass （DP） discrete fibre Raman amplifier （FRA） gain-flattened by using a mechanically induced long-period fibre grating （LPFG）. Due to a photo-elastic effect in the fibre and its peak loss, the wavelength and depth of the mechanically induced LPFG are continuously regulated by varying the pressures, the angle of the fibre on the graphite rods which are used to produce the periodical pressures along the fibre, the number and the diameter of the graphite rods. Using this gain flattening filter, the gain profile of the DP-FRA is flattened to within ±0.8 dB in the wavelength range from 1485 nm to 1525 nm.

报道了一种基于掺铒光纤激光器瞬态特性的新型气体浓度传感器.用光纤环全反镜和光纤Bragg光栅(FBG)构成F-P线形腔，通过调节光栅的反射波长，使激光激射波长落在C₂H₂的一个较强的吸收峰1531.56 nm.激光激射延迟时间与激光器谐振腔损耗密切相关，气体浓度的改变将引起谐振腔损耗的改变，通过测量激光激射延迟时间可以获得气体的浓度.该装置分辨率及灵敏度由抽运光脉冲的高功率电平和低功率电平决定，传感器的动态测量范围由抽运光高功率电平决定.当高功率和低功率电平分别为25 mW和5.9 mW时,该传感器的灵敏度和分辨率分别为100 ppm/μs和20 ppm.     

飞秒脉冲初始脉宽和啁啾对其自相似演化及压缩的影响

采用自相似抛物脉冲放大器对飞秒脉冲直接进行放大,并以低非线性系数的光子带隙光纤作为脉冲压缩器对放大的脉冲进行压缩.通过分步傅里叶方法研究了飞秒脉冲的初始宽度和啁啾对其自相似演化和压缩的影响.研究结果表明脉冲宽度越宽,脉冲自相似演化程度越差,演化脉冲的压缩质量也越差,压缩脉冲宽度较大,且有基座;脉冲的初始啁啾会严重阻碍其自相似演化,并最终影响脉冲的压缩质量;啁啾越大,脉冲的自相似演化结果越差,脉冲的压缩质量也越差;正的啁啾对脉冲的自相似演化的影响比负啁啾的要大.     

Two-Photon Interference Constructed by Two Hong–Ou–Mandel Effects in One Mach-Zehnder Interferometer

We present a two-photon interference experiment in a modified Mach-Zehnder(MZ) interferometer in which two Hong–Ou–Mandel effects occur in tandem and construct superposed two-photon states. The signal photons pass both the arms of the MZ interferometer while the idler photons pass one arm only. Interestingly, the probability of the idler photons emerging from any output port still shows a sine oscillation with the two-photon phase difference and it can be characterized only by the indistinguishability of the two-photon amplitudes. We also observe a two-photon interference pattern with a period being equal to the wavelength of the parametric photons instead of the two-photon photonic de Broglie wavelength due to the presence of two-photon phase difference, in particular, with complementary probabilities of finding the two-photon pairs in two output ports. The abundant observations can facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the two-photon interference.
