掺镱光纤放大器中自相似脉冲传输特性研究

研究了高阶色散和增益色散影响下,自相似脉冲在掺镱光纤放大器中的传输特性.从解析求解和数值模拟两方面分别阐述了初始脉冲能量、三阶色散和偶极子驰豫时间对脉冲传输质量的影响.结果表明,当传输考虑三阶色散效应时,伴随着脉冲啁啾非线性区域的扩大,啁啾中心随着色散系数取值的大小和正负前、后移动,脉冲峰向一侧延迟,中心位置发生漂移.增益色散对脉冲放大起到滤波作用,对自相似脉冲具有压窄效应.证实了具有一定驰豫时间的增益介质能够维持自相似孤子波的稳定传输.

受激喇曼散射对自相似脉冲产生的影响

研究了在受激喇曼散射与三阶色散共同作用下,自相似脉冲在具有正常色散的色散渐减光纤中的演化情况.结果表明:在同一个传输距离上,当考虑受激喇曼散射与三阶色散的共同影响时,脉冲中心的不对称特性相对好转;产生中心漂移与边缘振荡较只有三阶色散作用时要减弱,啁啾仍然具有很强的线性特性,但是线性范围减小,导致频谱的窄化以及对接下来自相似脉冲的压缩产生了不利影响;而且光纤长度的延长并没有起到展宽啁啾线性范围的效果,反而导致严重的啁啾非线性;因此对脉冲进行压缩后,压缩脉冲质量较不考虑受激喇曼散射时要差.

高非线性光子晶体光纤中飞秒脉冲的传输特性和超连续谱产生机制的实验研究及模拟分析

200 nm Supercontinuum Generated by Subpicosecond Optical Pulses and its Evolution Process Observation

200 nm superconticnumm (SC) with high flatness (<3 dB) is demonstrated with subpicosecond optical pulses generated by a passively mode-locked figure-eight-laser. The evolution process of SC under different optical pumping power is observed experimentally. Three sequential evolution stages are found: (1) SC spectrum is asymmetrically broadened due to self-phase modulation (SPM) and group velocity dispersion (GVD). (2) When the broadened spectrum exceeds the zero dispersion point, cross phase modulation (XPM) and four wave mixing (FWM) will cause symmetrical spectrum broadening. (3) stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) causes the spectrum to broaden toward long wavelength quickly when pumping power is intense enough.

Evolution of a super-broadened spectrum in a filament generated by an ultrashort intense laser pulse in fused silica

We report experimental and theoretical investigations of the evolution of super-broadened spectrum generation by intense 50-fs pulses propagating in bulk fused silica. Based on good agreement between the experimental results and numerical simulations, a mechanism of supercontinuum generation (SCG) is proposed. At first, both self-phase modulation (SPM) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) contribute substantially but slowly to the broadening before filament formation takes place. After filamentation, a plasma grows rapidly and asymmetric spectral broadening results in a blue-shifted spectrum extending to about 400 nm. A time-resolved experiment of the SCG was also performed using a double-pump technique. The temporal behavior suggests that the vibrational mode excited by the stimulated Raman process by the first pulse contributes to the occurrence of self-focusing. PACS 42.65.Re; 42.25.Bs     

Numerical modelling of spectral,temporal and statistical properties of Raman fiber lasers

Efficient numerical modelling of the power, spectral and statistical properties of partially coherent quasi-CW Raman fiber laser radiation is presented. XPM between pump wave and generated Stokes wave is not important in the generation spectrum broadening and XPM term can be omitted in propagation equation what sufficiently speeds-up simulations. The time dynamics of Raman fiber laser (RFL) is stochastic exhibiting events several times more intense that the mean value on the ps timescale. However, the RFL has different statistical properties on different time scales. The probability density function of spectral power density is exponential for the generation modes located either in the spectrum centre or spectral wings while the phases are distributed uniformly. The pump wave preserves the initial Gaussian statistics during propagation in the laser cavity. Intense pulses in the pump wave are evolved under the SPM influence and are not disturbed by the dispersion. Contrarily, in the generated wave the dispersion plays a significant role that results in stochastic behavior.     

Stimulated Raman spectra generated by ps-pulses in a single-mode fiber

Efficient frequency conversion of 5 ps-pulses from a cavity dumped Rh6G-dye laser by stimulated-Raman-scattering (SRS) into the first and second Stokes order has been achieved. The simulateneously produced asymmetric spectrical broadening of the pump pulses leads to double peaks in the Raman spectrum. By means of spectrally resolved cross-correlation measurements with 2 ps pulses from a second synchronized dye laser, the relative arrival time of the various spectral components is measured. Furthermore it is shown that the effect of a reduction of the pump peak power by SPM is partially compensated by the temporal broadening of the pump pulses leading to a longer interaction length for SRS.     

High-Q microwave photonic filter with self-phase modulation spectrum broadening and third-order dispersion compensation

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a scheme of high-Q microwave photonic filter （MPF） using the techniques of self-phase modulation （SPM） spectrum broadening and third-order dispersion （TOD） compensation. The optical pulses from a mode-locking laser are spectrally broadened by the SPM in the highly nonlinear fiber. A wideband optical frequency comb with 365 spectral lines within 10-dB power variation from the highest spectral power is obtained. By applying a cubic phase modulation via a waveshaper, the effect of TOD which broadens the MPF passband is eliminated. The final implemented MPF has a Q-value as high as 296 and a tuning range of 700 MHz.
