连续线性温度梯度场对啁啾脉冲放大系统中啁啾光纤光栅的色散调节效应

利用啁啾光纤光栅的温度可调谐效应,提出了一种新型的色散补偿方法.该方法使啁啾光纤光栅处于一个连续的线性温度梯度场中,通过调节啁啾光纤光栅两端的温度差,改变其色散量,实现在以啁啾光纤光栅为展宽器和以体光栅为压缩器的超快激光系统中对输出脉宽的连续精密调节,并通过实验验证这一方法的可行性.实验结果表明:沿着啁啾光纤光栅应用连续的温度梯度场,当温差从0℃到50℃变化时,可以连续地调节啁啾光纤光栅的色散参数.展宽器和压缩器之间的色散失配可以通过调节线性温度场的温度梯度得到补偿,避免了繁琐的脉宽优化步骤.本文是以啁啾体光栅为压缩器的光纤啁啾脉冲放大系统中通过调节施加在展宽器上的连续线性温度场的梯度,实现对啁啾脉冲系统中的色散失配进行精密调制的技术方案.     

大口径啁啾脉冲放大激光系统光的谱剪切分析

啁啾脉冲放大（CPA）技术为获得拍瓦级峰值功率和102^20W／cm^2高峰值聚焦功率密度提供了技术手段，从而使“快点火”成为可能。啁啾脉冲放大的原理是：超短脉冲激光先经过展宽器展宽，再进入放大器放大，最后放大脉冲经过压缩器压缩输出超短脉冲。展宽器和压缩器均由光栅对构成，展宽器通过引入正色散获得正啁啾脉冲，压缩器与展宽器共轭引入负色散补偿正啁啾获得超短脉冲输出。啁啾脉冲在展宽、放大和压缩中存在光谱剪切（或称光谱变化）和高阶分布，从而对输出脉冲时空特性产生影响。

Fabrication of long-period fiber gratings by focused irradiation of infrared femtosecond laser pulses

We have fabricated long-period fiber gratings by use of a novel technique using focused irradiation of infrared femtosecond laser pulses. We investigate the thermal stability of the fabricated fiber gratings. The values of the loss peak wavelength and the transmittance of the fiber gratings after heat treatment below 500 degrees C are the same as initial values before heat treatment. The fiber gratings that were fabricated by this technique have a high resistance to thermal decay. We propose that this technique will be useful for fabrication of fiber gratings with a superior aging characteristic.     

双面曝光长周期光纤光栅偏振相关损耗

研究了采用高频CO2激光脉冲通过单面和双面曝光制作出的长周期光纤光栅(LPFG)的偏振相关损耗特性。单面曝光制作的长周期光纤光栅由于光纤横截面折射率改变不均匀,对入射光偏振态有较强的依赖性,主要表现为偏振相关损耗较大;为了降低偏振相关损耗,在制作长周期光纤光栅的过程中采用双面曝光的方法,以使其横截面折射率调制受高频CO2激光曝光改变均匀。实验数据显示,高频CO2激光脉冲制作的普通单面曝光长周期光纤光栅最大偏振相关损耗高达1.24 dB,而采用双面曝光的相同谐振峰值长周期光纤光栅的偏振相关损耗则可降至0.42 dB。因此,双面曝光制作的长周期光纤光栅能较好地克服入射光偏振态的不良影响,从而满足对偏振敏感的光纤通信和传感系统的应用要求。     

Temporal characterization of short pulses stretched by fiber Bragg gratings

Short femtosecond pulses at 1054 nm are stretched up to 400 ps by long broadband chirped-fiber Bragg gratings. The temporal profile of the reflected pulses is measured with a cross-correlation scheme. The advantage of this technique over the usual spectral measurements is its high sensitivity, since the temporal profile of reflected pulses is revealed to be strongly affected by the presence of defects in the grating. We show that this method is a good test of the quality of fiber Bragg gratings.     

Influence of the external mechanical load on the formation of nanopores in an optical fiber under pulsed UV light

The joint action of an external tensile mechanical stress applied to a fiber and high-power UV light pulses on a photosensitive optical fiber has been investigated. The mechanism of formation of fiber Bragg gratings of the type IIA in photosensitive optical fibers has been revealed, and a theoretical model of their formation has been constructed. This mechanism has been confirmed by a series of experiments on the formation of fiber gratings. It has been established that the actions of UV light pulses on stressed and unstressed fibers differ fundamentally. The critical value of the tensile stress of the fiber at which structural defects intensively nucleate in the fiber under the joint action of the irradiation and external load has been determined. This stress coincides with the breaking stress in our experiments.     

Hydrogen loading for fiber grating writing with a femtosecond laser and a phase mask

The threshold for the fabrication of fiber Bragg gratings with ultrafast 800-nm radiation and a phase mask was studied in SMF-28 and all-silica core fiber by use of 125-fs pulses. High-pressure molecular hydrogen loading (H2 loading) was observed to significantly lower the grating writing threshold in standard Ge-doped telecommunication fiber. No reduction was observed with all-silica core fiber. The index change appeared to be confined to the Ge-doped core region of the fiber. Gratings in H2-loaded SMF-28 had thermal annealing behavior similar to UV-induced gratings. Unlike UV-induced H2-loaded gratings, no absorption associated with Ge-OH defect formation was observed.
