光脉冲在标准单模光纤中演化形成孤子的实验研究

利用二次谐波频率分辨光学门脉冲分析仪从实验上分析研究了具有啁啾的10 GHz光脉冲在不同输入功率下演化形成孤子的规律和特点。实验发现:输入脉冲在光纤中传输3.5个色散长度时,其时间宽度、频率啁啾和时间带宽积都随着输入功率的增加而减小。当输入功率大于一阶孤子功率的理论值时,光脉冲能够演化形成孤子;脉冲在随后传输过程中其宽度基本保持不变,波形、频率啁啾和时间带宽积仍随着传输距离的变化而变化;输入功率越高,形成的一阶孤子脉冲的宽度越窄。当输入功率小于一阶孤子功率的理论值时,输出脉冲的时间宽度随着传输距离的增加而增加,频率啁啾随着传输距离的增加而减小,光脉冲不能演化形成孤子。     

Chirped optical pulse propagation in saturating nonlinear media

Using a variational method, we have investigated the propagation characteristics of a chirped optical pulse in anomalously dispersive media possessing saturating nonlinearity. For the special case of uniform loss less media, the dynamics of the temporal width of the pulse is shown to be equivalent to an oscillator of unit mass which is executing its motion under some effective potential well. The potential is examined and four different types of behavior of the pulse width are noticed. The role of saturation parameter and the initial chirp in determining the propagation characteristics have been examined. It is found that, both high value of chirp and saturation are detrimental to stable pulse propagation. Particularly, the effect of chirp becomes severe with the increase in the value of saturation. We have shown that incorporation of saturation in the nonlinearity leads to the existence of bistable soliton. For the case of a lossy medium, net broadening of width takes place over many cycles of oscillation. The net broadening decreases with the increase in the value of saturation.     

Research on the nonlinear pulse propagation by numerical analysis

Based on the computation approaches of numerical analysis in electromagnetic, the nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fiber is investigated in this paper. The transforming rule of the shape and spectrum of Gauss pulse are also researched in chirped and non-chirped scenarios from the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). Analyzing the transient wave behavior in time domain and frequency domain respectively, the compression effect of chirp is also presented at different propagation distance. Then by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we discuss a specific solution in the quasi soliton without distortion, which has the stable propagation properly, and do the numerical simulation in soliton wave. Finally, by selecting proper fiber structure parameters and adjusting the width in soliton pulse, the soliton communication system can be optimized.     

Significance of prechirping on long-haul path-averaged soliton impulse in re-circulating loop at 10 and 20 Gb/s with TOD

In this paper, we have investigated the performance of first- and second-order path-averaged soliton long-haul transmission link including the impact of third-order dispersion (TOD) at varied chirp. Here, the varied chirp is considered keeping in view the inadvertent frequency chirp imposed on all practical sources of short optical pulses. The propagation of strongly chirped pulses in loss-managed long-haul path-averaged soliton transmission network has been shown. The investigations reveal that in first-order (N=1) path-averaged soliton transmission link at 10 and 20 Gb/s, SPM effect on the rising and falling edges of a pulse results in spectral broadening for all values of induced chirp. On the contrary, spectral narrowing of the pulses is observed in second-order negatively chirped path-averaged soliton pulses. The effect of the nonlinearity changes from narrowing to broadening of pulses if the sign of the initial chirp is changed to positive. The results ascertain that the system is capable of transmitting a pulse up to the distance of 24,500 km at bit rates of 10 and 20 Gb/s. Investigations have been carried out by varying the chirp factor in the range −1 to 1 and −1 to 0.4] for 10 and 20 Gb/s, respectively, to demonstrate the robustness of the long-haul soliton link. The observations establish that the pulse width (full-width at half-maximum (FWHM)) remains within the optimal range even at the transmission distance of 24,500 km without and at discrete values of the chirp factor.     

亚皮秒啁啾孤子在凸形色散与线性色散平坦光纤中的传输特性比较

提出采用凸形色散平坦光纤(DFF-CVDP)传输亚皮秒啁啾孤子,利用分步傅里叶方法数值研究了亚皮秒啁啾孤子在DFF-CVDP中的传输特性,并与在线性色散平坦光纤(DFF-LDP)中的传输特性做了比较。结果表明,孤子脉冲在上述两种光纤中传输时,光纤损耗导致了孤子脉冲宽度随传输距离增加稍有展宽,脉冲方均根谱宽随传输距离增加逐渐减小。在DFF-LDP中,脉冲展宽更快,正啁啾对脉冲展宽的影响比负啁啾的影响更大,正啁啾对应的方均根光谱比其他情况下的宽得多。啁啾脉冲时域宽度随传输距离增加出现了衰减振荡,振荡周期和振幅随啁啾参量|C|的增加而增大。光孤子脉冲在两种光纤中传输时域波形保持不变,仍具有孤子特性。在DFF-LDP中,3β使得脉冲光谱红移从而诱导了脉冲时延,负啁啾减弱了3β的作用,正啁啾加强了β3的影响。在DFF-CVDP中传输可以忽略3β的影响。

Effects of initial frequency chirp on the linear propagation characteristics of the exponential optical pulse

In this paper, the linear propagation characteristics of the exponential optical pulse with initial linear and nonlinear frequency chirp are numerically studied in a single mode fibre for \be₂<0. It can be found that the temporal full width at half maximum and time-bandwidth product of exponential pulse monotonically increase with the increase of propagation distance and decrease with the increase of linear chirp C for C<0.5, go through an initial decreasing stage near \zeta=1, then increase with the increase of propagation distance and linear chirp C for C\geq0.5. The broadening of pulses with negative chirp is faster than that with positive chirp. The exponential pulse with linear chirp gradually evolves into a near-Gaussian pulse. The effect of nonlinear chirp on waveform of the pulse is much greater than that of linear chirp. The temporal waveform breaking of exponential pulse with nonlinear chirp is first observed in linear propagation. Furthermore, the expressions of the spectral width and time-bandwidth product of the exponential optical pulse with the frequency chirp are given by use of the numerical analysis method.     

The Evolution Feature of Chirp-Dark Soliton in Single-Mode Fiber

The evolution feature of the injected initial-chirp tanh-dark soliton in single-mode fiber is studied in this paper. We analyze the evolution of amplitude, pulse width, frequency chirp and center position shift of dark soliton along with the variation of propagation distance, primarily using Lagrange-Euler's formula and taking the high-order dispersion as perturbation. The results show that the amplitude and pulse width of chirp-dark soliton are all oscillating around a certain critical distance in ideal fiber (β = 0), and the high-order dispersion conduces to generate the asymptotic dark soliton.

Propagation dynamics of nonlinear chirped optical laser pulses in a two-level medium

We investigate the propagation dynamics of nonlinear chirped optical laser pulses in a two-level medium. For certain chirp strength and chirp width, an incident 2π nonlinear chirped pulse will split into optical precursors and a stable self-induced transparency soliton. This is caused by the particular Fourier spectrum that includes not only central resonant frequency components but also high-frequency and low-frequency sidebands. Moreover, the effects of chirp parameters on the evolution of nonlinear chirped pulses are also discussed.     

Effect of initial linear chirp on collision characteristics of two solitons in the birefringent fibre

The collision characteristics of the orthogonally polarized solitons with initial linear frequency chirp in the linear birefringent fibre for \beta ₂<0 are numerically studied. It is found that initial chirp changes the threshold value of solitons to form the bound-state in the birefringent fibre. The effect of initial positive chirp on the threshold value is more obvious than that of negative chirp. In the case of \delta = 0.7 and initial interval 2\tau₀ = 1.25, the two solitons are mutually bound for 0.2 \le C \le 1, and they do not form the bound-state for -1 \le C<0.2. Frequency shifts increase with the increase of chirp parameter C for -1 \le C<0.2, and have the oscillatory structure for C \ge 0.2. The effect of positive chirp on temporal FWHM is greater than that of negative chirp. The peak of temporal waveform oscillates with the propagation distance. The period and amplitude of the oscillation for the chirped case are greater than those for the unchirped case, and they vary with the increase of | C| . The peak of output temporal waveform can be controlled by changing the initial chirp.

Simulation of a chirped femtosecond relativistic laser pulse interaction with underdense plasma by using a hydrodynamic approach

A chirped laser pulse indicates that the laser frequency changes over the duration of the pulse: a positively (negatively) chirped pulse implies that the laser frequency increases (decreases) with time. In this paper, we use a simplified, fully relativistic hydrodynamic approach to simulate the influence of chirp on the propagation of a femtosecond relativistic laser pulse in underdense plasma. Based on this simplified cold‐fluid model, the influence of chirp on the main dynamics of the laser pulse, such as self‐steepening, red‐shift in the leading edge, variation of the frequency chirp, and the generated wakefields can be studied self‐consistently. The simulation results show that a pulse with a positive chirp results in a larger increment in the intensity parameter a₀ when propagating a certain distance into an underdense plasma compared with an un‐chirped and a negatively chirped pulse, which is largely because of a much greater forward shift of the peak amplitude and more severe pulse self‐steepening effect due to the frequency red‐shift at the leading edge when exciting a plasma wave. The ponderomotive force, which relates to the first‐order differential of the laser pulse intensity envelope, is expected to be stronger for a positively chirped pulse because of its steeper leading edge and larger intensity parameter a₀. As a result, the wakefield driven by the positively chirped laser pulse is more intense than that driven by an un‐chirped and a negatively chirped laser pulse, which is confirmed by our self‐consistent hydrodynamic simulation.

Short chirp pulses in graded-index light guides

We consider the nonlinear process of propagation of a short chirp optical pulse in a light guide in which the refractive index of a fiber material strongly depends on the radial coordinate and weakly depends on the longitudinal coordinates. The chirped and strongly chirped pulses are distinguished by the relationship between the modulation depth and the spectrum width. The chirp-pulse propagation is simulated by a nonlinear wave equation solved asymptotically with respect to the small parameter prescribing the order of magnitude of the pulse amplitude. It is shown that the pulse propagation is three-scale. The phase of high-frequency filling and the field distribution in the fiber cross section are obtained as the eigenvalue and eigenfunction of a singular Sturm-Liouville problem, respectively. On the additional assumption of longitudinal inhomogeneity of the fiber, the general equation for the pulse envelope is reduced to the second Painlevé equation. It is shown that the linear modulation of the carrier frequency is not an independent characteristic of the propagation process, but varies in certain accordance with parameters of the transverse and longitudinal inhomogeneities of the fiber. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 49, No. 1, pp. 64–71, January 2006.
