双包层手性光纤中导模的光功率特性

在对W型阶跃双包层手性光纤进行解析求解的基础上,对几个低阶导模的功率特性进行了仔细的研究.对典型的内包层厚度,计算了几个低阶模留在纤芯中的光功率随纤芯和内外包层的手性参数的变化关系曲线,讨论了纤芯和内外包层的手性参量以及内包层厚度对不同符号模式的功率特性的影响.内包层厚度越大,功率越被限制在纤芯中.随着纤芯中手性参量的增大, HE－11模和HE－21模（HE01模）限制在纤芯中的光功率缓慢增加,而HE11模和HE21模（HE02模）限制在纤芯中的光功率则逐渐减小.包层手性参量的作用正好与此相反.     

Linearly polarized, single-mode spontaneous emission in a photonic nanowire

We introduce dielectric elliptical photonic nanowires to funnel efficiently the spontaneous emission of an embedded emitter into a single optical mode. Inside a wire with a moderate lateral aspect ratio, the electromagnetic environment is largely dominated by a single guided mode, with a linear polarization oriented along the ellipse major axis. The resulting monomode spontaneous emission is maintained over a broad wavelength range, a key asset of this 1D photonic structure. Our theoretical analysis is completed by an experimental study of GaAs elliptical photonic wires with embedded InAs quantum dots. In particular, the fraction of collected photons with the desired linear polarization can exceed 95%.     

Fast and accurate reflectivity calculations for shaped core optical fibres

A novel scalar (i.e. paraxial) free space radiation mode method is presented for calculating the normal incidence facet reflectivity of the main guided mode of a step-index optical fibre with generally shaped smooth core. Numerical results are presented and discussed for several cases of the Nth order super-elliptical core shape, including the circular, elliptical, rectangular-type and slab limiting cases.

Asymmetries in optical fibres

Two methods for treating the effects of small asymmetries in the cross sections of roughly cylindrical optical fibres are described. These predict the presence of stable power distributions, ribbons for example, within the fibre core. Experimental results on actual fibres showing these effects are given. To be effectively asymmetric a fibre of elliptical cross section need have major and minor diameters differing by only 0.08 μm.     

Guiding mode in elliptical core microstructured polymer optical fiber

A kind of microstructured polymer optical fiber with elliptical core has been fabricated by adopting insitu chemical polymerization technology and the secondary sleeving draw-stretching technique. Microscope photography demonstrates the clear hole-structure retained in the fiber. Though the holes distortion is visible, initial laser experiment indicates that light can be strongly confined in the elliptical core region,and the mode field is split obviously and presents the multi-mode characteristic. Numerical modeling is carried out for the real fiber with the measured parameters, including the external diameter of 150μm, the average holes diameter of 3.3μm, and the averageole spacing of .3μm by using full-vector plane wave method. The guided mode fields of the numerical simulation are consistent with the experiment result.This fiber shows the strong multi-mode and weak birefringence in the visible and near-infrared band, and has possibility for achieving the fiber mode convertors, mode selective couplers and so on.     

Diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser using reflective pump optics

We have examined the performance of a diode-laser side-pumped Nd:YAG laser using elliptical mirrors to focus the output of 6 × 10 W laser-diode arrays into the Nd: YAG rod. The multimode cw output power was 14 W with an optical to optical efficiency of 29%. With a resonator designed for TEM₀₀ mode operation 12 W of output was achieved.     

Holography with guided optical waves

Waveguide holograms are recorded in a storage material layer covering a planar dielectric waveguide with a guided mode as reference wave. They are also read-out with a guided mode. In the storage material, assumed to have a lower refractive index than the waveguiding film, the fields of the reference and of the read-out wave are evanescent waves. We describe the preparation of the epoxy resin (Araldit) waveguides on glass substrates, their coating with a dichromated gelatin (DCG) layer as storage material, the processing of the DCG, and the recording and reconstruction techniques. Waveguide holograms of good quality with a size of several square centimeters have been realized for the first time. The holograms were recorded and read-out with wavelength λ=488 nm. They have a length of about 25 mm and a width of 17 mm. To obtain holograms that wide a special prism coupler had to be used which allowed to couple in a laser beam of elliptical cross section, and thus to excite a guided reference or read-out mode with a width of 17 mm.     

Dispersionless slow light by photonic crystal slab waveguide with innermost elliptical air holes

We report a low-loss photonic crystal slab waveguide formed by deforming the innermost circle air holes in the conventional photonic crystal slab waveguide into elliptical ones. We obtain the photonic bands and group index of guided modes in this photonic crystal waveguide by guided-mode expansion method and investigate the dependence of photonic bands and group index of guided modes on the parameters of the innermost elliptical air holes. The group velocity and group velocity dispersion of this waveguide strongly depend on the innermost elliptical air holes. Photonic crystal slab waveguide with the optimum innermost elliptical air holes possesses a wider single mode region below the light line, in which light can easily propagate without intrinsic loss. At the same time, the guided mode supported by this waveguide has nearly constant group velocity and vanishing group velocity dispersion in a 3-5 nm bandwidth.

Effects of joints on mode power distribution and losses in multimode optical fibres

The transformation of mode power distribution at a joint between two different (even elliptical) optical fibres is studied. Simple analytical expressions are obtained also in the most general coupling and mismatch configuration, provided that coupling errors and mismatch parameters are small. Detailed calculations of joint losses are performed in each case, including propagation effects in both fibres. Original results are obtained particularly in the cases of misalignment, end separation between the fibres, mismatches in index profiles and coupling between two elliptical fibres. A strong dependence on the launching conditions and the amount of mode coupling is evidenced in all cases.     

Slow Wave Characteristics of Helix Structure with Elliptical Cross Section

We present a novel helix slow wave structure with an elliptical cross section shielded by an elliptical waveguide. The rf characteristics including dispersion properties, interaction impedance of zero mode in this structure have been studied in detail. The theoretical results reveal that weaker dispersion even abnormal dispersion characteristics is obtained with the increasing eccentricity of the elliptical waveguide, while the interaction impedance is enhanced by enlarging the eccentricity of elliptical helix.     

Modal redistribution and power loss in on-fibre devices

The mode coupling and optical power loss taking place in on-fibre devices are investigated. These devices are fabricated by removing the cladding of a multimode fibre and replacing it with a new material such as electro-optic or magneto-optic. Under an application of an external field the index of this modified cladding increases, leading to coupling among guided modes and coupling to radiation modes, resulting in optical power loss. The coupling among guided modes and the power loss are calculated as a function of the change in the index under the field and the length of the active region for the case when HE_1m modes are excited individually or in a group. Results indicate that on-fibre devices may be used as low-loss devices for applications involving sensors and delay lines.

Single mode operation of elliptical gain guided and index antiguided fibers

Elliptical gain guiding fibers in which gain guiding effects are dominant compared to conventional index guiding fiber is analyzed by solving Mathieu equations with complex-valued fiber parameters. The properties of mode propagation and single mode operation are evaluated in this elliptical gain guiding fiber with the assumption of a uniform gain distribution in the active core medium. Threshold for lossless mode propagation increases exponentially with the eccentricity of the elliptical cross section. Further, the difference in threshold between the lowest two order modes is constant for arbitrary eccentricity.
