光纤光栅激光器激射波长的研究

一般认为,用光纤光栅作选频元件的光纤激光器,激射波长与光纤光栅中心反射波长一致,本文报道了不同的实验研究结果。通过细致的实验研究,发现光纤光栅激光器激射波长相对于光纤光栅中心反射波长有一定的偏移。激射波长可以出现在光栅中心反射波长的长波端,也可以出现在其短波端。对不同腔结构的掺镱、掺铒光纤光栅激光器的深入研究证明,谐振腔的各向异性对激光器的激射波长偏移起到决定性的作用,波长最大偏移量主要受限于光纤光栅的反射带宽。通过激光腔内的偏振控制器改变谐振腔的各向异性,可以在光纤光栅的反射带宽内控制激射波长的位置。

High-accuracy coherent optical frequency transfer over a doubled 642-km fiber link

To significantly improve the frequency references used in radio-astronomy and the precision measurements in atomic physics, we provide frequency dissemination through a 642-km coherent optical fiber link. On the frequency transfer, we obtained a frequency instability of \(3\times 10^{-19}\) at 1,000 s in terms of Allan deviation on a 5-mHz measurement bandwidth, and an accuracy of \(5\times 10^{-19}\) . The ultimate link performance has been evaluated by doubling the link to 1,284 km, demonstrating a new characterization technique based on the double round trip on a single fiber. This method is an alternative to previously demonstrated techniques for link characterization. In particular, the use of a single fiber may be beneficial to long hauls realizations in view of a continental fiber network for frequency and time metrology, as it avoids the doubling of the amplifiers, with a subsequent reduction in costs and maintenance. A detailed analysis of the results is presented, regarding the phase noise, the cycle-slips detection and removal and the instability evaluation. The observed noise power spectrum is seldom found in the literature; hence, the expression of the Allan deviation is theoretically derived and the results confirm the expectations.     

Microwave frequency transfer over a 112-km urban fiber link based on electronic phase compensation

We demonstrate the transmission of a microwave frequency signal at 10 GHz over a 112-km urban fiber link based on a novel simple-architecture electronic phase compensation system. The key element of the system is the low noise frequency divider by 4 to differentiate the frequency of the forward signal from that of the backward one, thus suppressing the effect of Brillouin backscattering and parasitic reflection along the link. In terms of overlapping Allan deviation,the frequency transfer instability of 4.2 × 10~(-15) at 1-s integration time and 1.6 × 10~(-18) at one-day integration time was achieved. In addition, its sensitivity to the polarization mode dispersion in fiber is analyzed by comparing the results with and without laser polarization scrambling. Generally, with simplicity and robustness, the system can offer great potentials in constructing cascaded frequency transfer system and facilitate the building of fiber-based microwave transfer network.     

Actively mode-locked dual-wavelength fiber laser with close wavelength spacing using a fiber Bragg grating

A simple actively mode-locked fiber ring laser is proposed and successfully demonstrated to generate dual-wavelength picosecond pulses with close wavelength spacing using one Bragg grating in standard single-mode fiber. The proposed laser can be made to operate in stable dual-wavelength at room temperature, due to the birefringence characteristic of the FBG induced by transverse strain. Transverse strain loading on the FBG allows the wavelength spacing to be controlled. Generation of stable dual-wavelength pulses with a pulsewidth of 212–234 ps and a tunable wavelength separation from 0.2 to 0.44 nm at a pulse rate of 1.05 GHz was demonstrated.     

Switchable dual-wavelength Erbium-doped fiber ring laser with cascaded fiber Bragg gratings

We have experimentally shown wavelength mode switching in a dual-wavelength Erbium-doped single cavity fiber laser where the initial two wavelengths of 1 nm spacing are determined by the cascaded reflection type short-period fiber Bragg gratings having two different centre wavelengths of 1550.5 and 1551.5 nm. The lasing mode depends on the polarization in the ring cavity to migrate from one wavelength to another or operates in both modes in a polarization beam splitter output. To effectively control the polarization in the ring cavity, the polarization controllers were positioned before and after the polarization beam splitter. This method of wavelength switching provides a simple way of mode tuning in dual-wavelength fiber lasers.

Synchronization of time varying delayed complex networks via impulsive control

In this paper, we investigate the problem of synchronization for the time varying delayed complex dynamical networks via impulsive control method, several sufficient synchronization conditions are given, and we consider the impulsive control matrices are time varying delayed matrices. Furthermore, we found impulsive control does not always play an active role in synchronization although impulsive control strategy is cheaper and simpler than other control strategy. Finally, numerical simulations are also given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.     

Performance of data link modules as a function of multimode fiber size

Commercial data link modules from three manufacturers were measured for transmitter launch power and receiver sensitivity when used with the five common graded-index multimode fiber types: 50 μm core/NA_mk, = 0.20; 50 μm/NA_m = 0.23; 62.5/0.275; 85/0.26: and 100/0.29. Depending on the model, transmitters launched from 2.8 to 4.4 dB more power into the 100 pm fiber than the 62.5 μm fiber, whereas receiver sensitivities decreased by up to 3.5 dB. These variations in launch power and receiver sensitivity complicate the selection of an ideal fiber and emphasize the need for specifying data link performance with the particular fiber of interest. In general, the system gain of typical transmitter/receiver pairs is less favorable to large diameter fibers than previously believed.     

Thermally tuned optical fiber for true time delay generation

A new technique for generating a continuous range of true time delay values is introduced. Heating optical fiber in order to change the effective index of the guided mode produces time delays. A 45-m section of single-mode silica fiber is demonstrated to produce a continuous range of time delay values from 0 to 211 ps over a temperature tuning range of 50°C (30–80°C). A thermal time delay factor is introduced and found to be 0.096 ps/m°C for Corning LEAF fiber. A 7.66-m section of multimode Lucina polymer fiber is demonstrated to produce a range of time delay values from 0 to 32 ps over a temperature tuning range of 30°C (30–60°C). The thermal time delay factor for this fiber is −0.1427 ps/m°C.
