Modal interferometer based on tapering single-mode-multimode-single-mode fiber structure by hydrogen flame 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A modal interferometer is experimentally demonstrated based on tapering a single-mode-multimode-singlemode (SMS) fiber structure heated by hydrogen flame.The interference fringe begins to form when tapering length is 19.8 mm,and becomes regular and clear when the tapering length is longer and the tapered waist diameter is smaller.Annealing process is undertaken to achieve a high extension ratio of approximately 17 dB with free spectral range of 1.5 nm when the tapering length is 33 mm and the tapered waist diameter is approximately 5μm.The temperature and axial strain dependences of the tapered SMS structure are characterized,and the measured temperature and strain coefficients are +7 pm/℃and -9.536 pm/με, respectively. 相似文献

Films of porous silica are deposited on the uniform waists of tapered fibers in minutes by a modified solgel dip coating method, inducing less than 0.2 dB of loss. The coated tapers are an ideal platform for realizing all-fiber devices that exploit evanescent-field interactions with the deposited porous film. As an example we demonstrate structural long-period gratings in which a periodic index variation in the film arises from the porosity variation produced by spatially varying exposure of the waist to a scanned CO2 laser beam. The long period grating is insensitive to temperature up to 800 degrees C. 相似文献

Abstract Sodium borosilicate glass fibers pulled from the melt were plastic coated “on-line” to preserve the fiber strength. By the use of tapered nozzles within the coating applicator the coating could be made concentric around the fiber, and a 40-μm concentric coating was found to be sufficient for the fiber to withstand a mild abrasion test with no deterioration in strength. Strength measurements made in ambient conditions showed that the fiber had a uniform breaking strain of 4% elongation. The same fiber measured at liquid nitrogen temperatures had a breaking strain of 14%, even after extensive handling, which is close to the theoretical glass cohesive strength. 相似文献

We demonstrate a technique for tapering periodically an all-solid soft glass fiber, consisting of two types of lead silicate glasses, by the use of a focused CO(2) laser beam and investigate the bend sensing applications of the periodically tapered soft glass fiber. Such a soft glass fiber with periodic microtapers could be used to develop promising bend sensors with a sensitivity of -27.75 μW/m(-1) by means of measuring the bend-induced change of light intensity. The proposed bend sensor exhibits a very low measurement error of down to ±1%. 相似文献

An octave spanning spectrum is generated in an As?S? taper via 77 pJ pulses from an ultrafast fiber laser. Using a previously developed tapering method, we construct a 1.3 μm taper that has a zero-dispersion wavelength around 1.4 μm. The low two-photon absorption of sulfide-based chalcogenide fiber allows for higher input powers than previous efforts in selenium-based chalcogenide tapered fibers. This higher power handling capability combined with input pulse chirp compensation allows an octave spanning spectrum to be generated directly from the taper using the unamplified laser output. 相似文献

Spectral superbroadening of subnanojoule femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser pulses is demonstrated for the first time in experiments with a tapered fiber. Coupling 40-fs 0.6-nJ pulses of 1.25-μm Cr:forsterite laser radiation into a tapered fiber with a taper waist diameter of about 2 μm and a taper waist length of 90 mm, we observed the spectra spanning more than two octaves at the output of the fiber. These experimental results open new horizons for the creation of compact femtosecond systems based on Cr:forsterite lasers and tapered fibers for optical metrology and biomedical applications. 相似文献

We have fabricated 1310/1550 and 1480/1550nm WDM couplers using a fiber of 80 μm cladding diameter,whose tapering length is shortened by 4~8mm for the identical coupling strength compared to those of 125μm cladding fibers. We also report their splicing loss to conventional single mode fibers. 相似文献

Single-frequency 1319-nm laser was obtained by using a laser-diode-pumped monolithic Nd:YAG crystal with a non-planar ring oscillator (NPRO). When the NPRO laser was pumped by an 800-μm fiber coupled laser diode, the output power of the single-frequency 1319-nm laser was 220 mW, and the slope efficiency was 16%. With a 100-μm fiber coupled diode laser pumped, 99-mW single-frequency 1319-nm laser was obtained with a slope efficiency of 29%. 相似文献

Enhanced soliton trapping of dispersive waves in a tapered tellurite microstructured fiber pumped by a 1556 nm femtosecond
fiber laser is demonstrated. The short wavelength edge of supercontinuum light is extended from 960 to 600 nm after tapering
the tellurite microstructured fiber, which is caused by the enhanced soliton trapping of dispersive waves owing to the changing
group velocities in tapered fibers. Wide-band supercontinuum light source spanning from 600 to >2400 nm is generated in tapered
tellurite micro-structured fibers. Our experimental and simulated results show that short length (several centimeters) zero-dispersion-wave
length decreasing highly nonlinear fiber has a potential for generating wideband supercontinuum light source expanding from
visible to mid-infrared region. 相似文献

Computer modeling has been utilized to guide gyrotron backward-wave oscillator (gyro-BWO) experiments at the University of Michigan over a wide range of tapered interaction regions and tapered magnetic fields. E-GUN code is used to examine beam and diode characteristics, while MAGIC is used to analyze the dynamics of the problem, such as particle kinematics and microwave power production. Several innovative techniques are used to create matching boundary conditions for a backward propagating wave. MAGIC simulations predict optimum performance of the gyro-BWO operating in a TE01 mode within a combination of uniform interaction region and a tapered axial magnetic field which increases 7.5% in the direction of beam propagation. Experiments have been performed to investigate the effects of tapering magnetic fields and tapered interaction region radii on the high-power microwave emission from the gyro-BWO over the frequency range from 4.0 to 6.0 GHz. These experiments were performed on the Michigan Electron Long-Pulse Accelerator (MELBA) with parameters: V=-0.7 to -0.9 MV, Idiode=1-10 kA, Itube=1-4 kA, Te-beam =0.4-1.0 μs. Tapered interaction regions of 37%, 23%, 9.4%, and 6.4% were built and tested to determine their effect on microwave power, pulselength, and inferred energy compared to the uniform interaction region. Magnetic tapering trim coils with a range of -10.6%<ΔB/B0<+15.0% were constructed which allow the orientation of the field taper to be changed without breaking the vacuum. The peak microwave power from individual shots was from 30 to 55 MW. Experiments on magnetic field tapering indicate that positive tapered fields improve microwave power and energy output 相似文献

In this review we consider the basic elements of tapering chalcogenide optical fibers for the generation of extreme spectral broadening through supercontinuum generation. Creating tapered nanofiber devices in chalcogenide fiber, which has an intrinsic nonlinearity that is two orders of magnitude higher than silica, has resulted in the demonstration of octave-spanning spectra using record low power. We first present a brief theoretical understanding of the tapering process that follows from the basic principle of mass conservation, and a geometric construction tool for the visualization of the shape of tapered fibers. This is followed by a theoretical treatment of dispersion engineering and supercontinuum generation in a chalcogenide nanofiber. In the final section, we cover the experimental implementation of the chalcogenide nanofiber and demonstrate an octave-spanning spectrum created with 150 W of peak power. 相似文献

Carbon nanotubes with uniform density were synthesized on carbon fiber substrate by the floating catalyst method. The morphology and microstructure were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The results of field emission showed that the emission current density of carbon nanotubes/carbon fibers was 10 μA/cm2 and 1 mA/cm2 at the field of 1.25 and 2.25 V/μm, respectively, and the emission current density could be 10 and 81.2 mA/cm2 with the field of 4.5 and 7 V/μm, respectively. Using uniform and sparse density distribution of carbon nanotubes on carbon fiber substrate, the tip predominance of carbon nanotubes can be exerted, and simultaneously the effect of screening between adjacent carbon nanotubes on field emission performance can also be effectively decreased. Therefore, the carbon nanotubes/carbon fibers composite should be a good candidate for a cold cathode material. 相似文献

A simple and compact refractive index sensor is demonstrated by tapering a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) in-line interferometer. The PCF is spliced between two single-mode fibers and tapered via hydrofluoric acid etching. Its sensitivity in liquid is more than an order of magnitude larger than the untapered one. By optimizing the etching process, we can fabricate more uniformly and thinly tapered PCF interferometers with higher sensitivity in the future. 相似文献

We demonstrate how the gradient of the tapering in a tapered fiber can significantly affect the trapping and blueshift of dispersive waves (DWs) by a soliton. By modeling the propagation of a fundamental 10?fs soliton through tapered fibers with varying gradients, it is shown that the soliton traps and blueshifts an increased fraction of the energy in its DW when the gradient is decreased. This is quantified by the group-acceleration mismatch between the soliton and DW at the entrance of the taper. These findings have direct implications for the achievable power in the blue edge of a supercontinuum generated in a tapered fiber and explain observations of a lack of power in the blue edge. 相似文献
