Optical signal processing using nonlinear fibers

Ultra-fast optical signal processing is a promising technology for future photonic networks. This paper describes possible applications of nonlinear fibers to optical signal processing. The third-order optical nonlinearities in a fiber are discussed by analyzing the interaction of co-propagating optical waves. The properties of a nonlinear fiber are then considered in terms of optimizing the dispersion for achieving phase matching and decreasing walk-off. A highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) is a practical candidate for an ultra-high-speed signal processor. Using HNLF, the following experiments are successfully demonstated: ultra-broadband wavelength conversion/optical phase conjugation by four-wave mixing, 160 Gb/s optical 3R-regeneration, and optical switching up to 640 Gb/s using a parametric amplified fiber switch. Steps for further improvements are also discussed.

Entangled photon states generation and regeneration using a nonlinear fiber ring resonator

We propose a simple system of the entangled photon states generation and regeneration using a standard diode laser, a Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) and a fiber optic ring resonator (FORR). Light from the diode laser is launched into an MZI and circulated in the FOOR, without any optical pumping components included in the system. The nonlinear light pulses are generated by a Kerr nonlinear effects type, while the resonance peaks are formed by the four-wave mixing of light pulses in the FORR. The entangled photons can be performed by using the polarization control device, and then detected by the avalanche photo-detectors, where the entangled photon visibility is plotted and seen. Similarly, the entangled photon states can be easily formed by using the appropriated coupling ratios into a fiber coupler, then into a ring resonator, i.e. without an MZI. The use of the entangled photons generation based on a fiber optic scheme for quantum teleportation, quantum key distribution via optical wireless link, and the system of the entangled photon states recovery by using a fiber ring resonator incorporating an erbium-doped fiber (EDF) have been investigated and discussed. The feasibility of dense coding using multi-entangled photons generation based on the fiber optic scheme and the effect of the entangled state walk-off along the optical fiber are also discussed, respectively.

Effective simulation method for parametric signal-noise interaction in transmission fibers

We propose a new method for effective numerical simulation of transmission system performance and study of correlated noise evolution along an optical fiber with nonlinear parametric interaction between the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and the modulated optical signal. The method is based on an evaluation of the noise covariance matrix by using full nonlinear Schr?dinger equation (NLSE) and an analytical model for the optical receiver. Using extensive brute-force Monte Carlo simulation as a verification tool, we test the accuracy of the method and illustrate the analytical receiver model limitations in the case of moderate as well as substantial growth of non-Gaussian optical noise along the optical fiber transmission link.

拉曼增强型自相位调制再生技术

自相位调制可用于信号脉冲的整形,可实现归零码(RZ)信号的再生。以高非线性光纤(HNLF)为介质,在高非线性光纤中实现了拉曼集总放大和信号脉冲的自相位调制。从理论上分析了同向拉曼泵浦增强信号的自相位调制,大大降低了所需的信号光强度。论证了在色散长度(LD)远大于HNLF长度(L)时由自相位调制(SPM)导致的频谱展宽,它与脉冲的啁啾无关,频谱的功率密度与脉冲的强度无关。因此在高非线性光纤之后加入偏移载波频率的带通滤波器可实现归零码信号的再生。集中拉曼放大可增强再生性能。     

Dispersion-dominated nonlinear fiber-optic channel

We propose to apply a large predispersion (having the same sign as the transmission fiber) to an optical signal before the uncompensated fiber transmission in coherent communication systems. This technique is aimed at simplification of the following digital signal processing of nonlinear impairments. We derive a model describing pulse propagation in the dispersion-dominated nonlinear fiber channel. In the limit of very strong initial predispersion, the nonlinear propagation equations for each Fourier mode become local and decoupled. This paves the way for new techniques to manage fiber nonlinearity.     

Nonlinear empirical mode predictive drift extraction on fiber optical gyroscope

The integration drift of inertial unit is a fatal error on navigation and attitude determination system. Many approaches have been developed to extract and eliminate it. A novel fiber optical gyroscope drift extraction algorithm was proposed in this paper to ameliorate the performance of fiber optical gyroscope by extracting the trend component as the compensation. In this algorithm, the attitude quaternion of stellar sensor and the output of fiber optical gyroscope were imported into a nonlinear empirical mode predictive algorithm to extract the drift component of gyroscope. Combing the advantages of predictive filter and empirical mode decomposition in nonlinear signal processing, our proposal is more precise in drift extraction and data approximation. Software simulation and hardware verifications on gyroscope were launched, in which the results had proven the capability of the algorithm.     

Design and operation of an evanescent optical fiber sensor

Design and operation of an optical fiber sensor based on the intensity modulation is reported in this article. Two distinct mechanisms are considered for the optical power loss and the sensor operation is explained in terms of these effects. The dominant loss mechanism is found to be the evanescent loss and based on this phenomenon the optical fiber sensor is designed. Performance of this sensor is tested as a liquid level sensor for water and the experimental results are reported. The dry and wet signals for this probe are measured for a series of measurements and important factors concerning the design and operation of sensor are described. The precision of measured values, reproducibility of the results, and the stability of sensing operation as a function of time are reported. Variation of the output reading of the sensor system for different launching power is also investigated. The output signal of an optical fiber sensor in general is nonlinear, but both the signal difference (dry minus wet) and diff/dry signal ratio for the reported sensor show linear dependence with the launching power at intensities below threshold. The reported results are promising and verify the successful operation of such a device as an on/off level switch and also as a liquid level sensor.     

Supercontinuum generation by combining clad-pumped Er/Yb co-doped fiber amplifier and highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber

We present an experimental study on supercontinuum generation by combining a clad-pumped Er/Yb co-doped fiber amplifier (EYDFA) and a highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber (HNL-PCF). By using the nonlinear polarization rotation technique, a stable femtosecond optical pulse seed signal with a central wavelength of 1556.36 nm and a spectral line width of ∼5.6 nm has been obtained. Then, this pulsed seed signal is amplified by the EYDFA, the amplified pulse, which, with the broaden spectrum, propagates in the HNL-PCF. The 20 dB bandwidth of ∼520 nm from 1230 to 1750 nm is obtained.

Large amplitude noise reduction in ultrashort pulse trains using a power-symmetric nonlinear optical loop mirror

We analyse numerically the capabilities of a power-symmetric nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) in the ultrashort pulse regime for high-quality amplitude regeneration of an optical signal. The device, which operates through nonlinear polarisation rotation, includes twisted, anomalous-dispersion fibre and a quarter-wave retarder. For particular adjustments of the retarder orientation, and a circularly polarised input beam, the output energy characteristic flattens near the switching energy, a property that can be used to eliminate large amplitude fluctuations in an optical signal. The group velocity mismatch between polarisation components introduced by twist is mitigated by the interplay between anomalous dispersion and the nonlinear Kerr effect, although strong twist should be avoided as it still introduces substantial pulse distortion. Contrary to other designs, where a plateau characteristic requires a large power imbalance between the counter-propagating beams, both pulses in the present scheme can be simultaneously close to fundamental solitons, which allows a substantial widening of the plateau for particular pulse parameters. Good quality, nearly transform-limited pulses are obtained in this case at the NOLM output. The device is applicable for the regeneration of ultrafast data streams in which the signal-to-noise ratio is severely deteriorated.
