光纤光栅群时延纹波对微波光子滤波性能的影响

建立了一种研究光纤光栅群时延纹波(GDR)对微波光子滤波性能影响的理论模型,探讨了群时延纹波对相干光源型和非相干光源型微波光子滤波器性能的影响。基于该理论模型,分别在随机分布的GDR和实测GDR影响下,分析了微波光子滤波器幅频响应、相频响应的演变趋势。相干光源型滤波器中,GDR主要影响体现为陷波点频率的偏移,而非相干光源型滤波器中GDR则导致幅频响应形状和线性相位畸变;而在多抽头情形下,GDR导致边模抑制比下降和消光比劣化。     

Performance limitation of chirped-fiber-Bragg-grating-based photonic microwave notch filter due to group delay and reflectivity ripples

We investigated the performance limitation of a frequency-tunable photonic microwave notch filter incorporating a chirped fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as a group delay line. In particular, we carried out theoretical and experimental studies to analyze the impact of the reflectivity ripple (RR) and group delay ripple (GDR) in the chirped FBG on the output notch performance. The results of experimental and theoretical analyses performed on a photonic microwave notch filter in which an S-bending-based linearly chirped FBG was incorporated, revealed that the notch depth and notch frequency were significantly affected by imperfections in the chirped FBG. The notch depth was found to be decreased by the RRs, whereas significant fluctuations in the notch frequency were caused by the GDRs. On the basis of the obtained results, we conclude that the RR and the GDR are the fundamental factors that degrade the performance of chirped FBG-based photonic microwave filters.     

Optimization of the apodization strength of linearly chirped Bragg gratings for span dispersion compensation

We present an optimization process for the apodization strength factor of fiber Bragg grating dispersion compensators. It will be demonstrated that a proper choice of the apodization strength factor results in minimum deviation of the dispersion from the required level, maximum reflection bandwidth and minimum group delay ripple impact, thus leading to a reduction of the Q-factor penalty of the dispersion compensating system. We also discuss the influence of the fiber link length in the determination of the optimum apodization strength factor, taking into account that shorter links minimize the group delay ripple amplitude, whereas the longer ones maximize the bandwidth of interest. It is determined that a fiber link length of ～80 km can balance the requirements of group delay ripple impact and bandwidth. The results obtained through this analysis allow a faster modeling of the Bragg grating parameters in order to achieve an improved spectral performance, as well as a cost-effective fabrication process.

Minimization of dispersion for symmetric FBG optical filters

Sharp edges of the reflection spectrum of fiber Bragg gratings originate the group delay. As follows from the dispersion relations, the delay of the symmetric grating grows up with the second derivative of the reflectivity with respect to the frequency. The distortion functional is proposed for filter optimization. It is the mean square delay at fixed integral reflectivity. An analytic solution for filters with minimum distortion is obtained in the limit of weak grating.     

非对称切趾对啁啾光纤光栅特性优化的分析

基于对啁啾光纤布拉格光栅反射谱和时延曲线的分析,引入非对称切趾技术。综合时延曲线纹波和反射谱纹波平滑两方面考虑,将对称切趾技术的最佳切趾比例、左移和右移两种非对称切趾技术以及采用不同切趾函数对光纤光栅特性参量的优化效果进行了分析和比较。结果表明,与对称切趾相比,左移非对称切趾可避免对称切趾中为增大反射谱带宽而减小切趾比例使时延纹波增大的缺点,在保持反射谱纹波基本不变的前提下将时延曲线纹波降低了43.5%(与实验结果39.9%相吻合)。此外,与仅用汉明函数切趾相比,光纤光栅左端采用超高斯函数、右端采用汉明函数的非对称切趾方式使反射谱平坦部分纹波减小了89.3%,对应的时延曲线拟合误差减小了16.7%,获得了更好的优化效果。     

偏振模色散动态补偿中色度色散影响的研究

分析了色度色散(CD)对偏振模色散(PMD)动态补偿中偏振度(DOP)反馈的影响,模拟和实验验证了2．5Gb／s和10Gb／s非归零调制系统中光信号偏振度特性和系统误码率特性。表明有色度色散作用时信号偏振度值比仅受偏振模色散作用时要大．但误码率随色度色散量增加先轻度好转后就逐渐变差．偏振度值将不能如实反映偏振模色散对系统性能的影响。且信号两正交偏振分量间能量差别越小或差分群延迟越大,上述两种情况下信号偏振度值偏离就越远。这种偏离还随系统速率和色度色散量的增加而加剧。进一步探讨了实际偏振模色散补偿中减轻色度色散影响的措施,表明当系统中同时存在偏振模色散和色度色散影响时,必须在基于偏振度反馈的偏振模色散补偿前完成色度色散补偿。     

Impact of chromatic dispersion and group delay ripple on self-phase modulation based optical regenerators

We demonstrate that chromatic dispersion and group delay ripple limit the performance of all-optical regeneration based on self-phase modulation. The level of degradation depends in detail on the type of phase distortions introduced. The regenerator performance is measured using the optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) margin provided to the system for a given bit error ratio. The addition of chromatic dispersion and group delay ripple induces a significant reduction in this OSNR margin.

Multiple microstrip wave spectrum

Conclusions Experimental investigation shows that it is extremely important to take into accotant the presence of natural wave spectrum for such functional blocks as filters, directional couplers and other structures based on multiple microstrips, due to the fact that the excitation of the complete natural wave spectrum results in considerable distortion of amplitude-frequency characteristics of these blocks. We state that, it is essential to allow for the exitation of natural wave spectrum in multiple microstrips with dence conductors assembling.     

Investigation of single harmonic group delay ripple on picosecond pulses using FROG: Tailoring pulse bursts

Group delay ripple in chirped fiber Bragg gratings distorts and/or generates satellite pulses depending on the specific nature (period and phase) of the ripple. Usually, this ripple is an undesirable by-product of the manufacturing process, comprising both a random and deterministic spectrum of ripple Fourier components. We demonstrate the ability to convert a single pulse into a custom pulse burst via introduction of tailored group delay ripple. We investigate these pulse bursts, for various ripple parameters, with frequency resolved optical gating. The results show good agreement with simulations.     

Tailoring Chirped MoirÉ Fiber Bragg Gratings for Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing and Optical Code-Division Multiple-Access Applications

The design and fabrication of chirped Moiré fiber Bragg gratings (CMGs) are presented, which can be used in either (1) transmission as passband filters for providing wavelength selectivity in wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) systems or (2) reflection as encoding/decoding elements to decompose short broadband pulses in both wavelength and time in order to implement an optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) system. In transmission, the fabricated CMGs have single or multiple flattened passbands (< 0.5 dB ripple) and exhibit > 12 dB isolation and near constant in-band group delay. It is shown that these filters do not produce any measurable dispersion-induced power penalties when used to provide wavelength selectivity in 2.5 Gbit/s systems. It is also demonstrated how CMGs can be used in reflection to encode/decode short pulses from a wavelength-tunable mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser.

The influence of the group delay of digital filters on acoustic decay measurements

In this paper the error due to the phase response of digital filters on acoustic decay measurements is analyzed. There are two main sources of errors when an acoustic decay is filtered: the error due to the bandwidth of the filters related to their magnitude response, and the error due to their phase response. In this investigation the two components are separated and the phase error analyzed in terms of the group delay of the filters. Linear phase FIR filters and minimum phase IIR filters fulfilling the class 1 requirements of the IEC 61260 standard have been designed, and their errors compared. This makes it possible to explain the behavior of the phase error and develop recommendations for the use of each filtering technique. The paper is focused on the filtering techniques covered by current versions of the standards for measurement of acoustic decays and in the evaluation of the acoustic decay for narrow filters at low frequencies and low reverberation times (BT < 16).     

On noise reduction methods for chaotic data

Recently proposed noise reduction methods for nonlinear chaotic time sequences with additive noise are analyzed and generalized. All these methods have in common that they work iteratively, and that in each step of the iteration the noise is suppressed by requiring locally linear relations among the delay coordinates, i.e., by moving the delay vectors towards some smooth manifold. The different methods can be compared unambiguously in the case of strictly hyperbolic systems corrupted by measurement noise of infinitesimally low level. It was found that all proposed methods converge in this ideal case, but not equally fast. Different problems arise if the system is not hyperbolic, and at higher noise levels. A new scheme which seems to avoid most of these problems is proposed and tested, and seems to give the best noise reduction so far. Moreover, large improvements are possible within the new scheme and the previous schemes if their parameters are not kept fixed during the iteration, and if corrections are included which take into account the curvature of the attracting manifold. Finally, the fact that comparison with simple low-pass filters tends to overestimate the relative achievements of these nonlinear noise reduction schemes is stressed, and it is suggested that they should be compared to Wiener-type filters.     

Actuator saturation control of uncertain structures with input time delay

This paper presents a robust saturation control approach for active vibration attenuation of building structures involving parameter uncertainties and input time delay. The parameter uncertainties are described in both polytopic and norm-bounded forms and represent the variations of floor masses, stiffnesses and damping coefficients. The input time delay can be time-varying within a known bound. In terms of the feasibility of certain delay-dependent linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), a state feedback controller can be designed to guarantee the robust stability and performance of the closed-loop system in the presence of parameter uncertainties, actuator saturation, and input time delay. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is investigated by numerical simulations on the vibration control of a three-storey building structure subject to seismic excitation. It is validated that the designed robust saturation controller can effectively suppress the structural vibration and keep the system stability when there are parameter uncertainties and input time delay.

Real-time measurement of wave components and intensity in a beam in the presence of a near field

A method is described by which the individual flexural wave components in a beam can be measured in real time. Attention is focussed on the case in which two propagating waves and a single near-field wave exist, although the case of two near fields is also considered. Because the presence of the near field is included, the measurements can be taken close to the force, boundary or discontinuity from which the near field arises. Potential applications include intensity measurement, active control and adaptive-passive vibration control.The wave components are measured by digitally filtering and combining the outputs of an array of sensors, with an array of three, equally spaced sensors being considered in detail. The filters are designed in the frequency domain using a wave decomposition approach, and implemented in the time domain as FIR filters. Design, implementation and performance issues are discussed and an experimental implementation described. It is seen that accurate estimates of the amplitudes of the wave components can be obtained using FIR filters of moderate order, and that the method is relatively insensitive to sensor miscalibration and measurement noise.     

A new active power filter topology based on a chopper circuit

Active power filters(APFs) are widely used for their outstanding performance in current and voltage ripple compensation. As modern high-energy accelerators are demanding much more stringent current ripple guidelines,APFs are used in the magnet power supply(MPS) in accelerator systems. However, conventional APFs have many drawbacks due to the traditional topology, such as complex structure, nonadjustable working voltage, requirement of power supply, and so on. This paper proposes a new APF topology, which works as two types of chopper circuits.This APF does not need extra electricity, but uses the power of the MPS current ripple to realize ripple depression.Experimental results prove its feasibility and effectiveness.
