Magnetostatic-Wave-Based Magneto-Optic Pulse Compression by Control of Phase Mismatching

Microwave magnetostatic waves (MSWs) as moving gratings in magneto-optic (MO) film can lead to the Bragg diffraction of guided optical waves (GOWs). The MO coupling characteristics are responsible for the amplitude and phase frequency spectra of diffracted pulses and even result in the compression of chirped optical pulses in time domain. We theoretically investigate the noncollinear diffraction of linearly chirped Gaussian optical pulses by continuous magnetostatic forward volume waves in detail. For a given chirped optical pulse, with the increase of phase-mismatching slopes, the compression efficiency (CE) is gradually improved up to the maximum followed by the transition of diffracted pulses from single peak to multi peaks. The larger the chirp parameter is, the smaller the required phase-mismatching slope to achieve the maximal CE is. However, the rise of the chirp parameter or phase-mismatching slope reduces the relative peak intensity of the diffracted pulse. Lastly, it is pointed out that the phase-mismatching slope can be greatly increased by using the high-order modes of MSWs and GOWs.     

Ultrafast pulse sources based on multi-mode optical fibers

Ultrafast pulse sources based on multi-mode optical fibers are discussed. High-power passively mode-locked fiber lasers based on multi-mode rare-earth-doped optical fibers greatly exceed the power limitations of single-mode oscillators. Ultrafast multi-mode fiber amplifiers operating in conjunction with multi-mode oscillators provide even higher power levels, where nonlinear propagation effects enable pulse compression to below 100 fs. Multi-mode fiber oscillators can be combined with single-mode Raman-shifting fibers to produce widely wavelength-tunable sources of femtosecond pulses. Further amplification in Yb fibers allows for the generation of sub-100-fs pulses with W-level average powers.

Characteristics of microwave magneto-optic modulation based on magnetostatic waves

According to the magneto-optic (MO) perturbation theory, the coupled-mode equations for guided optical waves (GOWs) with microwave magneto-static waves (MSWs) in MO film waveguides are presented, which cannot only be used to analyze the MO modulation induced by MSW pulses, but also explain the optical pulse compression caused by chirped MSWs. The rectangular pulse modulation of continuous guided optical waves by magnetostatic forward volume waves (MSFVWs) excited under normal bias magnetic field is theoretically studied in detail. It is shown that: (1) the diffracted light pulse approximates to an isosceles trapezoid, which is in agreement with the experimental results, and the duration time and the flat-top response time are equal to the sum and difference between the width and transit time of the rectangular MSFVW pulse, respectively; (2) utilizing a small duty factor of MSFVW pulse helps to improve the modulating data rate, which is in inverse proportion to the transit time, and the relative peak intensity of the diffracted light pulse is less than the corresponding Bragg diffraction efficiency when the MSW duty factor is less than 0.5.     

负五阶非线性下预啁啾高斯光脉冲的啁啾和频谱

为探究光纤负五阶非线性和光脉冲预啁啾对高斯光脉冲频率啁啾和频谱的综合影响,在忽略光纤色散的情况下,利用包含三五阶非线性的扩展非线性薛定谔方程,计算和分析了啁啾高斯脉冲的频谱和总啁啾。结果表明,脉冲无预啁啾时,负五阶非线性的存在可使脉冲频率啁啾的形状由单“S”形变为双“S”形,并使脉冲的中心附近由正啁啾变为负啁啾。此外,负五阶非线性的存在使预啁啾对脉冲频谱的影响发生了较大的变化。预啁啾与非线性所致啁啾叠加后对脉冲频谱的谱峰数目影响较小,而对能量在各个谱峰上的分布影响较大,在某些最大非线性相移下,甚至会出现总啁啾减小使谱峰值数目增加的情况。该研究对光开关、光脉冲压缩以及光纤通信系统等领域的深入发展具有一定的指导意义。     

Coherence of supercontinua generated by ultrashort pulses compressed in optical fibers

Femtosecond fiber lasers together with nonlinear fibers are compact, reliable, all-fiber supercontinuum sources. Maintaining an all-fiber configuration, however, necessitates pulse compression in an optical fiber, which can lead to nonlinearities for subhundred femtosecond, nanojoule pulses. In this work we show that using large-mode-area fibers for pulse compression mitigates the nonlinearity, resulting in compressed pulses with significantly reduced satellite pulses. Consequently, supercontinua generated with these pulses are shown to have as much as a 10 dB increase in coherence fringe contrast. By using a hybrid highly nonlinear fiber-photonic crystal fiber, the continuum can be extended to visible wavelengths while still maintaining high coherence.
