Actively Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser using an electro-optic periodically poled lithium niobate crystal as a laser Q-switch

We demonstrate a low-voltage and fast laser Q-switching by using an electro-optic periodically poled lithium niobate (EO PPLN) crystal. The half-wave voltage measured from the EO PPLN crystal was 0.36 V x d (microm)/L (cm), where d is the electrode separation and L is the electrode length. When a 13-mm-long EO PPLN was used as a laser Q switch at 7-kHz switching rate, we measured an approximately 12-ns pulse width and approximately 0.74-kW laser pulses at 1064-nm wavelength from a diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser with continuous 1.2-W pump power at 809-nm wavelength.     

Polarization-independent unidirectional light transmission by an annular photonic crystal prism

Unidirectional transmission of light irrespective of its polarization by a two-dimensional annular photonic crystal in the form of a right prism is numerically demonstrated. Band structure of the crystal obtained through the plane-wave expansion method reveals a directional band gap along a principal axis, leading to prohibition of wave transmission in the reverse direction. In the forward direction, however, transmission of waves is facilitated by circumventing the directional band gap due to altered surface orientation. Polarization-independent unidirectional light transmission is demonstrated through finite-difference time-domain simulations. Unidirectional operation is enhanced and the polarization independence is established through the introduction of an anti-reflection coating layer, which increases the forward transmittances for both polarizations up to 0.44, such that a contrast ratio of 0.96 is attained at a free-space wavelength of 1.55 μm. Although polarization independence deteriorates, unidirectionality is preserved between 1.45 μm and 1.60 μm, provided that the angle of incidence remains between ?5° and +5°. Device performance is also influenced by the transverse source size, where leakage in the reverse direction may be suffered if the source width is beyond a critical value.     

Polarization-dependent efficient Cherenkov radiation at visible wavelengths in hollow-core photonic crystal fiber cladding

Efficient Cherenkov radiation (CR) is experimentally generated by a soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) in a knot of hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF). When the angle of the half-wave plate is rotated from 0° to 45° , the Raman soliton shifts from 2227 to 2300 nm, the output power of the CR increases 8.15 times, and the maximum output power ratio of the CR at 556 nm to the residual pump is estimated to be 20:1. The width of the output optical spectrum at visible wavelengths broadens from 25 to 45 nm, and the conversion efficiency of the CR can be above 28%. Moreover, the influences of the pump polarization and wavelength on the CR are studied, and the corresponding nonlinear processes are discussed.

Study on measurement of linear electro-optic coefficient of a minute irregular octahedron cBN wafer

The cubic boron nitride (cBN) is a kind of artificial electro-optic (EO) crystal, and we have not found any relative reports so far. Because the artificial synthetic cBN wafers are very small and hard, the wafers cannot be cut into rectangular slabs. The polarizer-sample-λ/4 retardation plate (compensator)-analyzer (PSCA) transverse EO modulator has to be adjusted to the minute irregular octahedron of cBN wafers. When the applied voltage is along [1 1 1] direction of the wafer, due to refraction, the angle between the incident beam direction and the (1 1 1) plane (top or bottom plane) of the wafer should be 25.4°, and the angle between the polarization direction of the polarizer and the plane of incidence should be 50.8° by calculation, respectively. The half-wave voltage of the cBN sample was obtained for the first time, by means of detection of the output optic signals from the modulator with and without an applied electric field on the sample, respectively. Furthermore, the linear EO coefficient was obtained, . The analysis of the experimental resulting error was carried out.     

Simulation and optimization of a polymer 2×2 multimode interference-Mach Zehnder interferometer electro-optic switch with push-pull electrodes

Structural model and design technique are proposed for a polymer 2×2 multimode interference-Mach Zehnder interferometer electro-optic (MMI-MZI EO) switch with push-pull electrodes. The electric field distribution is analyzed by the conformal transforming method and image method. To get the minimum mode loss and half-wave voltage, the parameters of the waveguide and electrodes are optimized, such as the core width, core thickness, buffer layer thickness, size of the MMI couplers and the modulating region, electrode thickness, electrode width, and electrode gap. Switching characteristics are analyzed, including the output power, crosstalk, and wavelength shift. Simulation results show that the half-wave voltage is 0.74 V, the optical 3 dB bandwidth is 12.66 GHz, and the crosstalk is less than −30 dB for the designed device.     

Photonic crystal fiber polarization filter with two large apertures coated with gold layers

A novel photonic crystal fiber(PCF) polarization filter is designed and fabricated; it consists of two large apertures coated with gold. The asymmetric structure separates the resonance position in the vertical direction well. Due to the metal layer covering, loss is greatly improved. Finite element method is applied for numerical simulation. The influences of varying gold thickness and varying the diameters and the center positions of the larger apertures on filtering performance are evaluated. Theory of coupling between surface plasma and core mode is introduced. By modulating the parameters, we realize a single polarization filter at 1.31 μm and 1.55 μm. The basal mode loss in the y direction can reach 1408.80 dB/cm at 1.31 μm and 1911.22 dB/cm at 1.55 μm respectively, but basal mode loss in the x direction is relatively small, 0.82 dB/cm and 1.87 dB/cm. In addition, two kinds of broadband polarization filters are proposed. If the fiber length is set to 200 μm,the extinction ratio is greater than 20 dB with width of 570 nm and 490 nm. The filter has simple structure and excellent performance.
