Modeling and simulation of polarization errors in Sagnac fiber optic current sensor

Sagnac fiber optic current sensor (S-FOCS) is a kind of optical interferometer based on Sagnac structure, optical polarization states of sensing light wave in Sagnac fiber optic current sensor are limited. However, several factors induce optical polarization error, and non-ideal polarized light waves cause the interference signal crosstalk in sensor, including polarizer, quarter-wave retarder, splice angular, birefringence and so on. With these errors, linearly polarized light wave in PM fiber and circularly polarized light wave in sensing fiber become elliptically polarized light wave, then, nonreciprocal phase shift induced by magnetic field of the current is interrupted by wrong polarization state. To clarify characteristics of optical polarization error in fiber optic current sensor, we analyze the evolution process of random optical polarization state, linear optical polarization state and circular optical polarization state in Sagnac fiber optic current sensor by using Poincare sphere, then, build optical polarization error models by using Jones matrix. Based on models of polarization state in Sagnac fiber optic current sensor, we investigate the influence of several main error factors on optical polarization error characteristics theoretically, including extinction ratio in polarizer, phase delay in quarter-wave retarder, splice angular between quarter-wave retarder and polarization maintaining fiber. Finally, we simulate and quantify nonreciprocal phase shift to be detected in fiber optic current sensor related with optical polarization errors. In the end, we demonstrate S-FOCS in test. The results show that transfer matrix errors are induced by inaccurate polarization properties during polarization state conversion, then, the stability and accuracy of the S-FOCS are affected, and it is important to control the polarization properties at each step of the polarization state conversion precisely.

Coherent beam combining of fiber amplifier based on adaptive polarization and active phase control

Coherent beam combining (CBC) of a polarization-maintaining fiber amplifier and a non-polarization-maintaining fiber amplifier is presented. The experiment is based on adaptive polarization control and active phase control. The stochastic parallel gradient decent (SPGD) algorithm is used for the adaptive polarization control in the non-polarization-maintaining fiber amplifier and the active phase control is realized by single frequency dithering (SFD) algorithm. When the adaptive polarization control system and the phase control system go into closed loop, the fringe contrast of far-field intensity pattern is improved to more than 87.7%. A scalable architecture for CBC of two styles fiber amplifiers is also proposed.     

Highly tolerant tunable waveguide polarization rotator scheme

Integrated polarization rotators are known to exhibit stringent fabrication tolerances, which severely handicap their practical application. Here we present a general polarization rotator scheme that enables both the compensation of fabrication errors and wavelength tunability. The scheme is described analytically, and a condition for perfect polarization conversion is established. Simulations of a silicon-on-insulator polarization rotator show polarization extinction ratios in excess of 40 dB even in the presence of large fabrication errors that in a conventional rotator configuration degrade the extinction ratio to below 5 dB. Additionally, wavelength tuning over ±30 nm is shown.     

Stable zirconia-erbium doped multiwavelength fiber laser by precise control of polarization states

A compact zirconium-erbium doped fiber (Zr-EDF) based multiwavelength fiber laser (MWFL) with stable output comb is proposed and demonstrated. The MWFL utilizes a 3 m long Zr-EDF with an erbium concentration of 3000 ppm and pumped by a 1480 nm laser diode (LD) as the active gain medium. A fiber based multimode polarization controller (PC) is used to precisely control the polarization states of the oscillating modes in the MWFL, distributing the total energy of the system among the lasing wavelengths in order to overcome the mode-suppression and mode-competition that arises from homogenous line broadening. The MWFL is capable of generating up to four lasing wavelengths with average peak powers of 0.08 dBm in the extended L-band of 1600 nm. The lasing wavelengths have a 3-dB linewidth of 0.1 and an extinction ratio of 40 dB as well as highly stable, with minimal fluctuations of less than 0.6 dB observed in the peak powers of the lasing wavelengths over a period of 1 h. The proposed system allows for the realization of a compact, cost-effective and stable erbium based MWFL capable of operating at room temperature.
