Measurement of Timing Jitter in Wavelength Tunable Femtosecond Soliton Pulses

We investigated the root mean square (RMS) timing jitter and RMS intensity noise of the wavelength tunable femtosecond soliton pulses using the technique of radio-frequency spectrum analysis. We obtained interesting results that the generated solitons have almost constant RMS timing jitter and RMS intensity noise of approximately 410 fs and 0.03% in the wavelength region of 1600-1750 nm. It is therefore believed that the magnitudes of the jitter and noise are not greatly increased in the process of wavelength tunable soliton pulse generation. The wavelength tunable soliton pulse is confirmed to be stable and useful for practical applications.     

Analysis of Effect of Chromatic Dispersion for Wavelength Tunable Ultrashort Soliton Pulse Generation

The performance characteristics of generated soliton and anti-Stokes pulses for the wavelength tunable ultrashort soliton pulse generation system are discussed for different fiber dispersion parameters of β₂ and β₃ at the pump wavelength. Numerical analysis showed that the broadband wavelength tunability is improved as both the absolute value of negative β₂ and the value of β₃ are decreased. When β₃ is the usual value, the best performance of broadband continuous wavelength tunability which broadens symmetrically to the pump wavelength is obtained for β₃ of around 蜢2 psβ²/km. The reason for this is that the behaviors of both the generated soliton and anti-Stokes pulses are due to the β₂. Through simulations for different fiber dispersion parameters of β₂ or β₃ we obtained interesting results. When β₃ is negative and the zero dispersion wavelength is set at the longer wavelength side than the pump wavelength, such as around 2 μm, it is possible to convert the generated soliton into new components at the longer wavelength side over 2 μm.     

中红外可调谐大能量飞秒脉冲激光产生

可调谐中红外飞秒光纤激光器具有非常普遍的应用,从而引起了人们的广泛关注。目前,非线性光纤中的拉曼孤子自频移效应是实现大范围可调谐飞秒脉冲激光的理想方法之一。然而,非线性光纤中其他高阶非线性效应的产生通常会限制拉曼孤子脉冲的能量提升。本文提出了利用有源掺杂光纤作为非线性介质和增益介质实现可调谐大能量中红外飞秒激光脉冲的方法。在理论上研究了有源掺杂非线性光纤中高阶孤子劈裂和孤子自频移效应的产生,以及线性增益对波长移动拉曼孤子能量、脉宽、光谱的影响。结果表明,通过为波长红移的低能量拉曼孤子提供线性增益,孤子脉冲的能量得到了显著提升且保持了其单脉冲特性,脉冲宽度为45 fs,且孤子脉冲的波长可通过所提供的增益进行大范围调谐。因此,利用有源掺杂光纤作为非线性介质是实现大能量可调谐中红外飞秒脉冲激光的一种有效方法。

In this paper, pulse self-trapping robustness to polarization mode dispersion in optical fibers is studied. Nonlinear pulse can be used to suppress PMD despite the input pulse shapes is found. When the nonlinear effect is stronger (initial pulse amplitude is larger), the suppression degree to PMD is better. As the initial chirp is considered, we find that the chirp is harmful to suppress PMD. The more is initial chirp, the more is the PMD value.

Bidirectional Wavelength Reconfigurable Module Based on Tunable Fiber Bragg Grating and Remote Pump Amplifier

Abstract

This article presents a novel bidirectional wavelength reconfigurable optical network utilizing a remotely pumped erbium-doped fiber amplifier and tunable fiber Bragg gratings. The system is experimentally demonstrated at a 10-Gb/s per channel over 20-km fiber span that verifies the metro-network range system performance. The achieved power penalty is less than 1 dB when compared to the back-to-back transmission link. An example of practical application where the proposed module is used as an add/drop multiplexer and a remote node in the bidirectional wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network system is described.     

Effect of Guided Acoustic Wave Brillouin Scattering on Pulsed Squeezing in Optical Fibers with Nonlinearity and Dispersion

Quadrature squeezed light generation with optical pulses in a fiber loop mirror is analyzed through computer simulation. The effect of guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering (GAWBS) in optical fibers as well as those of nonlinearities and chromatic dispersions are considered for the first time. The relation between the GAWBS noise and the optical pulse width is discussed in detail. It is found that the nearly fundamental soliton pulse is optimum to get the largest squeezing even if the GAWBS noise is effective. The broadened pulses suffer larger degradation of squeezing due to this noise.
