Controllable optical delay line using a Brillouin optical fiber ring laser

A controllable optical delay line using a Brillouin optical fiber ring laser is demonstrated and a large time delay is obtained by cascading two optical fiber segments. In experiment, a single-mode Brillouin optical fiber ring laser is used to provide Stokes wave as probe wave. We achieve a maximum tunable time delay of 61 ns using two cascading optical fiber segments, about 1.5 times of the input probe pulse width of 40 ns. In the meantime, a considerable pulse broadening is observed, which agrees well with the theoretical prediction based on linear theory.     

KrF激光脉冲整形研究

 实验研究了脉冲堆积法对KrF激光的整形能力。利用受激布里渊散射(SBS)压缩脉冲获得了脉宽为3~5 ns的短脉冲，用4束激光堆积获得了脉宽为10~15 ns、平顶宽度为5~10 ns的整形脉冲。利用实测SBS脉冲数据，对脉冲堆积法进行了数值模拟，模拟的脉冲宽度为12.7 ns，平顶宽度为7.7 ns，该结果与实验相符。对脉冲堆积法的任意整形能力进行了模拟，讨论了脉冲宽度变化对整形的影响，发现脉宽变化在5%以内时，对整形脉冲的影响较小。对整形脉冲的放大进行了定性研究，结果表明：平顶脉冲通过放大器后，前沿部分放大较多，由于饱和作用，后沿放大较少；如果前端整形脉冲前沿为斜坡状，放大后可以得到近平顶的脉冲。     

SBS新介质C4Cl6参数确定及性能研究

 从介质对光的吸收机理出发，研究了吸收系数较小的受激布里渊散射（SBS）新介质六氯-1,3-丁二烯（C4Cl6）。通过基本的物理参数，确定了入射光波长为1 064 nm时C₄Cl₆的SBS参数，其吸收系数约为0.003 cm^-1，声子寿命约为0.25 ns，增益系数约为4.9 cm·GW^-1。分析了入射光波长与介质SBS参数的关系，布里渊频移与入射光波长成反比，声子寿命与入射光波长的平方成正比，增益系数一般与入射光波长无关。在单池SBS系统中，利用Nd:YAG调Q激光器研究了C₄Cl₆的SBS性能。实验结果表明：由于其吸收系数小，与具有相同增益系数的H₂O比较，C₄Cl₆具有较高的能量反射率（饱和能量反射率大于55%）和较宽的SBS脉宽；由于其声子寿命短，与具有相同吸收系数的CS₂比较，C₄Cl₆的SBS波形上升时间较短。吸收系数小和声子寿命短的特点，使C₄Cl₆适合作为放大池介质，这对优化SBS介质选取，提高SBS系统性能具有一定意义。     

A new approach to measure the ocean temperature using Brillouin lidar

An approach of lidar measurements of ocean temperature through measuring the spectral linewidth of the backscattered Brillouin lines is presented. An empirical equation for the temperature as a function of Brillouin linewidth and salinity is derived. Theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The equation also reveals the dependence of the temperature on the salinity and Brillouin linewidth. It is shown that the uncertainty of the salinity has very little impact on the temperature measurement. The uncertainty of this temperature measurement methodology is approximately 0.02℃.     

Equal-amplitude optical comb generation using multi-frequency phase modulation in optical fibers

<正>We theoretically analyze and experimentally demonstrate a method of generating equal-amplitude optical comb exploiting multi-frequency phase modulation.The theoretical analysis shows that 4n-1 equal-amplitude spectral lines can be obtained when the modulation signal comprises n frequency components including the fundamental frequency and the odd harmonic frequencies,and 2n+1 equal-amplitude spectral lines can be obtained when the modulation signal comprises n frequency components including the fundamental frequency and the even harmonic frequencies.Then,we numerically simulate the spectra of 5,7,9,and 11 equal-amplitude spectral lines,respectively,which are also obtained in experiments with frequency separation of 30 MHz and flatness of better than 0.3 dB.     

Research on stimulated Brillouin scattering suppression based on multi-frequency phase modulation

The method of generating equal-amplitude spectral lines by multi-frequency phase modulation is used in stimulated Brillouin scattering （SBS） suppression. The spectra of three, five, seven, and eleven equalamplitude spectral lines are obtained in experiment with flatnesses less than 0.3 dB. Theoretical research on SBS suppression shows that the threshold power after modulation is in reverse proportion to the maximum square of amplitude moduli of fundamental frequency and the nth harmonic wave. The threshold powers of three, five, seven, and eleven equal-amplitude spectral lines are improved by 5.21, 8.36, 9.39, and 10.76 dB, respectively.
