A novel design for broadband dispersion compensation microstructure fiber

A novel microstructure fiber (MF) structure is proposed for broadband dispersion compensation. Through manipulating the four air-hole parameters and the pitch, the broad band dispersion compensation MF can be efficiently designed. The newly designed MF could compensate (to within 0.8%) the dispersion of 101 times of its length of standard single mode fiber over the entire 100-nm band centered on 1550 nm. The proposed design has been simulated through the finite difference beam propagation method, and the corresponding design procedures are also presented.     

Statistical properties of Er/Yb co-doped random Rayleigh feedback fiber laser

In this Letter, we experimentally investigate fast temporal intensity dynamics and statistical properties of the claddingpumped Er/Yb co-doped random Rayleigh feedback fiber laser(EYRFL) for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. By using the optical spectral filtering method, strong and fast intensity fluctuations with the generation of extreme events are revealed at the output of EYRFL. The statistics of the intensity fluctuations strongly depends on the wavelength of the filtered radiation, and the intensity probability density function(PDF) with a heavy tail is observed in the far wings of the spectrum. We also find that the PDF of the intensity in the central part of the spectrum deviates from the exponential distribution and has the dependence on the laser operating regimes, which indicates some correlations among different frequency components exist in the EYRFL radiation and may play an important role in the random lasing spectrum stabilization process.     

拉曼放大布里渊光时域分析系统非局域效应

应用包含探测光、布里渊泵浦光及拉曼泵浦光相互作用理论模型,数值分析了基于拉曼放大的长距离布里渊光时域分析仪非局域化特性。结果表明:非局域化随探测光及拉曼泵浦功率增加而恶化;通过频分复用(将具有不同布里渊频移的光纤拼接)及时分复用技术(同时对布里渊泵浦及探测光进行脉冲调制),可有效缩短布里渊泵浦与探测光的作用距离,达到较理想的抑制非局域效应结果。     

椭圆六角分布微结构光纤中的双折射

利用全矢量有限元方法,对椭圆六角对称分布微结构光纤(MF)的双折射特性进行了理论分析,得到了双折射大小与结构参量、入射波长间的依赖关系。分析表明:合理设计结构参量可得到10-3量级大小的双折射;微结构光纤的双折射对光波波长极其敏感,并出现随波长变化快慢轴交换的现象。采用统计的方法对双折射与微结构光纤空气孔直径随机变化的统计相关性进行了理论分析,假定空气孔直径为高斯分布,获得了双折射大小的平均值和标准偏差与随机变化孔径的统计关系。结果表明,由孔径分布不规则所产生的双折射的大小主要取决于空气孔直径的平均值。

Broadband dispersion compensation using microstructure fibers

Dispersion and dispersion slope compensation of 10-Gb/s pulses using microstructure fibers (MFs) is demonstrated experimentally. A 26-m MF is used to compensate the dispersion of 2-km standard singe mode fiber in a 20-nm range in C band. The experimental results show that a significant improvement can be achieved in the quality of the observed pulses with the dispersion compensation. Moreover, the further research shows that the MF can compensate the anomalous dispersion of a single mode fiber within±0.27 ps/(nm·km) over a 50-nm wavelength range from 1520 to 1570 nm.
