光谱带宽对单偏振光纤消光比的影响

消光比是表征单偏振光纤偏振性能好坏的特征参数之一,影响它的因素有很多,如光谱带宽。结合熊猫型单偏振光纤的测量,搭建了双轴光谱带宽测量系统,通过对单偏振光纤的光谱带宽、消光比参数的大量测量和分析,找到了光谱带宽对消光比参数影响的原因。结论是单偏振光纤的工作波长要远离光谱带宽的下限位置,即HE_(11y)模式的截止损耗峰,另外,要求HE_(11y)模式的截止损耗要陡峭,这样才能保证单偏振光纤具有高消光比特性。     

Characteristics of photonic bands generated by quadrangular multiconnected networks

In this paper, by means of the network equation and generalized dimensionless Floquet-Bloch theorem, we study the influences of the number of connected waveguide segments （NCWS） between adjacent nodes and the matching ratio of waveguide length （MRWL） on the photonic bands generated by quadrangular multiconnected networks （QMNs）, and obtain a series of formulae. It is found that multicombining networks （MCNs） and repetitive combining networks （RCNs） are equivalent to each other and they can all be simplified into the simplest fundamental combining systems. It would be useful for adjusting the number, widths, and positions of photonic bands, and would possess potential applications for the designing of all-optical devices and photonic network devices.
