Surface ripple changes during Cr film ablation with a double ultrashort laser pulse

Surface modification is investigated experimentally by varying the time separation of double femtosecond laser radiation and surface ripples by varying the time separation and polarization direction of double pulses train. Nanometer-sized particles are formed during resolidification of the molten region when the second pulse arrives within 10 ps and the molten material is ejected much after 10 ps. The ripple in the outer region remains oblique to the sum of the vector direction of the two pulses when the time delay is zero. With time delay ranging from 0.5 to 10 ps and different polarization directions of the laser radiation, the ripple generally aligned perpendicular to the polarization direction of the electric field with multiple pulses in the vicinity of ablation threshold is effectively eliminated without fragments at the edge. Furthermore, remnant ripples on irradiated area at higher energies with the same polarization direction are removed by irradiation at a lower energy with each different polarization direction of double pulse. Based on morphological observations for different time delays, possible mechanisms of ripple formations and eliminations are suggested.     

Two building blocks of microwave photonics filters in the presence of group delay ripple: a comparative survey

We have developed an analytic approach to investigate the effect of group delay ripple of the dispersive devices on the performance of two major building blocks of microwave-photonic filters. Firstly, performance of PM-based block in the presence of an arbitrary group delay ripple (GDR) is analyzed and compared with the ripple-free case to reveal the destructive effects of added group delay ripple. In the next step, we repeat the proposed approach for the AM-based one; again, the performance is compared with the ripple-free case. Two distortion metrics are also introduced to quantify this distortion. Comparison of the performance of two building blocks in the presence of group delay ripple unveils some interesting characteristics of microwave-photonic filters which have not been mentioned so far. We also add a general survey of two analyzed building blocks to present their respective most significant advantages and shortcomings. The simulated Optisystem results conform to our proposed analytical approach and verify the theoretical model.

光纤光栅时延波动对传输系统性能的影响

对啁啾光栅的时延波动进行了详细的分析，建立了时延波动的简易模型和光栅的滤波函数。大量实验和计算表明，光纤光栅的时延纹波周期在0．01～0．1nm之间，并且在光纤光栅的阻带内，时延纹波周期随波长增大而逐渐增大。利用薛定谔方程对时延波动对系统的影响进行了仿真，得出了时延波动对系统的影响不仅与波动大小有关，而且还与时延波动周期有关，并用实验进行了验证。     

The influence of ultra-fast temporal energy regulation on the morphology of Si surfaces through femtosecond double pulse laser irradiation

The effect of ultra-short laser-induced morphological changes upon irradiation of silicon with double pulse sequences is investigated under conditions that lead to mass removal. The temporal delay between 12 double and equal-energy pulses (E _p=0.24 J/cm² each, with pulse duration t _p=430 fs, 800 nm laser wavelength) was varied between 0 and 14 ps and a decrease of the damaged area, crater depth size and periodicity of the induced subwavelength ripples (by 3–4 %) was observed with increasing pulse delay. The proposed underlying mechanism is based on the combination of carrier excitation and energy thermalization and capillary wave solidification and aims to provide an alternative explanation of the control of ripple periodicity by temporal pulse tailoring. This work demonstrates the potential of pulse shaping technology to improve ultra-fast laser-assisted micro/nanoprocessing.

Fast and accurate group delay ripple measurement technique for ultralong chirped fiber Bragg gratings

A simple and very precise group delay ripple (GDR) measurement technique for linearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs) is proposed. It is based on real-time optical Fourier transformation of an ultrashort pulse directly induced by the CFBG dispersion. We have experimentally demonstrated highly accurate characterization of the GDR profile of a commercial 10-m-long CFBG with a dispersion of +2000 ps/nm, having achieved a remarkably small standard deviation in our measurements of about 4 ps over a bandwidth of 28 nm. The proposed method has the unique potential to provide real-time GDR monitoring (in the MHz range) by use of commercially available high-speed sampling electronics.     

Optimization of the apodization strength of linearly chirped Bragg gratings for span dispersion compensation

We present an optimization process for the apodization strength factor of fiber Bragg grating dispersion compensators. It will be demonstrated that a proper choice of the apodization strength factor results in minimum deviation of the dispersion from the required level, maximum reflection bandwidth and minimum group delay ripple impact, thus leading to a reduction of the Q-factor penalty of the dispersion compensating system. We also discuss the influence of the fiber link length in the determination of the optimum apodization strength factor, taking into account that shorter links minimize the group delay ripple amplitude, whereas the longer ones maximize the bandwidth of interest. It is determined that a fiber link length of ～80 km can balance the requirements of group delay ripple impact and bandwidth. The results obtained through this analysis allow a faster modeling of the Bragg grating parameters in order to achieve an improved spectral performance, as well as a cost-effective fabrication process.     

Impact of chromatic dispersion and group delay ripple on self-phase modulation based optical regenerators

We demonstrate that chromatic dispersion and group delay ripple limit the performance of all-optical regeneration based on self-phase modulation. The level of degradation depends in detail on the type of phase distortions introduced. The regenerator performance is measured using the optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) margin provided to the system for a given bit error ratio. The addition of chromatic dispersion and group delay ripple induces a significant reduction in this OSNR margin.

Formation of subwavelength periodic structures on tungsten induced by ultrashort laser pulses

The evolution of surface morphology of tungsten irradiated by single-beam femtosecond laser pulses is investigated. Ripplelike periodic structures have been observed. The period of these ripples does not show a simple relation to the wavelength and angle of incidence. The orientation of ripples is aligned perpendicularly to the direction of polarization for linearly polarized light. Surprisingly, we find that the alignment of the ripple structure turned left or right by 45 degrees with respect to the incident plane when using right and left circularly polarized light, respectively. The period of the ripple can be controlled by the pulse energy, the number of pulses, and the incident angle. We find a clear threshold for the formation as a function of pulse energy and number of pulses. The mechanism for the ripple formation is discussed, as well as potential applications in large-area structuring of metals.

非对称切趾对啁啾光纤光栅特性优化的分析

基于对啁啾光纤布拉格光栅反射谱和时延曲线的分析,引入非对称切趾技术。综合时延曲线纹波和反射谱纹波平滑两方面考虑,将对称切趾技术的最佳切趾比例、左移和右移两种非对称切趾技术以及采用不同切趾函数对光纤光栅特性参量的优化效果进行了分析和比较。结果表明,与对称切趾相比,左移非对称切趾可避免对称切趾中为增大反射谱带宽而减小切趾比例使时延纹波增大的缺点,在保持反射谱纹波基本不变的前提下将时延曲线纹波降低了43.5%(与实验结果39.9%相吻合)。此外,与仅用汉明函数切趾相比,光纤光栅左端采用超高斯函数、右端采用汉明函数的非对称切趾方式使反射谱平坦部分纹波减小了89.3%,对应的时延曲线拟合误差减小了16.7%,获得了更好的优化效果。

A compact, multichannel dispersion-compensating filter is demonstrated with D=-4200ps/nm, a +/-5-ps group delay ripple, <3-dB loss, and a 4.5-GHz passband width out of a 12.5-GHz free spectral range. We show that multistage designs can achieve a substantial increase in passband width and peak dispersion for a given group-delay ripple compared with single-stage designs. The dispersion-compensation effectiveness was demonstrated in a 320-km, seven-channel nonlinear system simulation for OC48 signals.     

Experimental demonstration and cascadability analysis of a tunable optical buffer based on a re-circulating loop consisting of optical SSB modulator and FBG filter

We demonstrate a tunable optical buffer with variable time delays for label switching applications using an optical single sideband modulator in a fiber Bragg grating-filter loop. This optical buffer realizes payload storage with optional wavelength conversion function, providing flexibility in packet router design. Small sensitivity penalty is observed in our experiment after the payload circulating in the buffer loop three times. The cascadability of the tunable optical buffer is investigated. We provide analysis of the optical signal to noise ratio degradation due to accumulated amplified spontaneous emission noise, and the penalty caused by loss ripple and group delay ripple of the fiber Bragg grating.

Ripple formation in various metals and super-hard tetrahedral amorphous carbon films in consequence of femtosecond laser irradiation

Ripple formation in consequence of ultrashort laser pulse irradiation of materials is a well-known phenomenon. We have investigated the formation of ripples in various metals, i.e. steel, tungsten carbide hard metal, as well as in superhard ta-C films, where we used femtosecond laser pulses of 775 nm and 387 nm mean wavelength and 150 fs pulse duration. The aim was to investigate how the ripple parameters depend on irradiation parameters, and if such ripples have a potentiality for applications. In the paper, we will show that on smooth surfaces the ripple orientation is perpendicular to the electric field vector of the linearly polarized laser beam, as is well-known. Moreover, it will be shown that the ripple period decreases with decreasing laser wavelength and/or increasing angle of incidence of the laser beam on the substrate. By using optimum parameters large areas of the materials and films can be rippled swiftly, which would be important for applications. For instance, the improvement of frictional and wear behavior of tribologically stressed surfaces by ripples was investigated on ta-C coated steel surfaces.     

Shortening of a laser pulse with a self-modulated phase at the focus of a lens

We found that, at the focus of a chromatic lens, a laser pulse with a self-modulated phase can be shortened due to the radial dependence of the group delay imposed by the lens. Normally, this group delay stretches a short pulse into a long pulse by spreading the arrival time of the pulse at the focus. However, for a pulse with a self-modulated phase, it causes the fields with different phases to overlap, thus resulting in destructive interference that shortens the pulse.
