受激布里渊相移功率依赖性理论与实验研究

建模并仿真了受激布里渊散射损耗相移谱的宽范围功率依赖特性;设计了基于外差抽运-斯托克斯技术的受激布里渊损耗相移谱测量系统,在抽运光功率5μW~15mW和斯托克斯光功率3.5~110mW范围内测量了400m标准单模光纤的受激布里渊损耗相移谱;分析了实测受激布里渊损耗相移谱产生中心不对称性的机理。结果表明,受激布里渊损耗相移范围与斯托克斯光功率呈良好线性关系,基本不受抽运光功率影响;实测受激布里渊损耗相移谱中心不对称性主要由光纤色散以及非线性折射率引起的非线性效应共同作用产生。根据理论和实验结果,分析了受激布里渊散射相移谱功率依赖性在微波光子信号处理和分布式光纤传感中的应用,为基于受激布里渊散射相移原理的应用系统设计提供理论依据。     

S波段光纤拉曼放大器中级联受激布里渊散射串扰的实验研究

研究了光纤激光器前向抽运的S波段分布式光纤拉曼放大器中级联的受激布里渊散射(SBS)串扰现象。用窄光谱带宽(<100MHz)的可调谐激光二极管作为信号源,通过S波段分布式光纤拉曼放大器,当被放大的信号功率超过单模光纤受激布里渊散射的阈值时,出现了前向受激布里渊散射,这是传导声波布里渊散射在光纤放大器中放大的现象。随着拉曼放大器抽运功率的提高,在斯托克斯区,出现了两阶受激布里渊散射线,在实验中观测到偶数阶的受激布里渊散射谱线功率大于奇数阶的布里渊一瑞利散射线。当进一步增加拉曼放大器的抽运功率,出现了前向级联的多阶受激布里渊散射现象,拉曼放大器的增益下降,被放大的信号功率转换为受激布里渊散射,噪声变大。受激布里渊散射的串扰破坏了拉曼放大器的特性,使拉曼放大器无法在密集波分复用光纤传输系统中使用,因此需要严格地控制入纤的信号功率和放大器的抽运功率。在实验中还观测到在光纤拉曼放大器中被放大的信号光和受激布里渊散射线两侧的伴线。

少模光纤中受激布里渊散射的慢光

利用全矢量有限元法计算了少模光纤中模内和模间受激布里渊散射各模式布里渊频移和布里渊增益谱,模拟了泵浦功率、有效传输长度及脉冲宽度对各模式慢光时间延迟量、脉冲展宽因子的影响.模拟结果表明:少模光纤中不同传输模式产生的受激布里渊散射慢光特性不同,输入泵浦功率及有效传输长度越大,各模式的慢光时延量、展宽越大,且当输入泵浦功率相同时,模内的慢光时延量、展宽因子均大于模间的.优化参数可得,在输入泵浦功率为0.5W,光纤有效长度为1km的条件下,LP_(01)-LP_(01)、LP_(11)-LP_(11)及LP_(01)-LP_(11)模式的时间延迟量分别为643.7ns、362.6ns和213.2ns,其展宽因子分别为1.346、1.207和1.126.     

基于布里渊载波相移的宽带可调谐二倍频微波信号生成

本文提出并实验验证了一种基于光纤中受激布里渊散射效应的光子二倍频微波信号生成技术.利用布里渊增益谱内的强色散特性,对光强度调制器产生的双边带调制信号的载波进行π/2相移,可实现载波与±1阶边带拍频仅生成二倍频微波信号.由于光纤中受激布里渊散射的窄带特性以及仅对双边带调制信号的载波进行相移,不影响调制信号两个边带的幅值和相位,因而生成的二倍频微波信号可实现宽带调谐,调谐范围仅受其他光器件的工作带宽限制.此外,信号光和产生受激布里渊散射的抽运光均来自同一光源,因而不受波长漂移的影响,系统具良好的稳定性.     

Data pulse distortion induced by a slow-light tunable delay line in optical fiber

We experimentally demonstrate an all-optical tunable delay line based on slow light induced by stimulated Brillouin scattering in a highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) and study the distortion of data pulses with different pulse widths and the induced pattern-dependent distortion on non-return-to-zero data in slow-light systems.     

Simple tunable multiwavelength Brillouin/Erbium fiber laser utilizing short-length photonic crystal fiber

We have demonstrated a simple ring cavity tunable multiwavelength Brillouin/Erbium fiber laser (MWBEFL), in which 70 m highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber (HNL-PCF) is used as the Brillouin gain medium. The fiber laser utilizes recycling mechanism to enhance stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). The configuration that consists of only 3 optical components is easy to be integrated and improves the practicality. At the maximum 1480 nm pump power of 110 mW and the Brillouin pump power of 3 dBm, 10 stable output channels with more than 10 dB optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) and 0.078 nm channel spacing could achieve 10 nm tuning ranges.     

A tunable optical delayer based on SBS slow light of ring configuration

A hybrid optical fiber delayer based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) slow light is proposed for dual-channel systems. It features two rings as delay lines, where one is an active ring with a Brillouin amplifier and the other is a passive ring. It combines SBS slow light delay with linear transmission delay, which extends the delay range in a great amount. A maximum SBS slow light delay of 468?ns and the capability for tunable delay of over 10???s for pulses of nanoseconds are demonstrated.     

High-efficiency hybrid brillouin/ytterbium fiber laser

A high-efficiency hybrid Brillouin/ytterbium fiber laser (BYFL) is demonstrated using a 41.5-cm-longhighly ytterbium-doped fiber and a 10-m-long single-mode optical fiber. The BYFL operates at 1 052.92nm, and the difference between it and the Brillouin pump (BP) wavelength matches the expected stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) Stokes shift. Its output power reaches 70.1 mW, which is more than seven times higher than the seeded BP power. The BYFL has an optical signal-to-noise ratio that is greater than 65 dB and has many potential applications, such as in controllable optical delay lines, sensing, and RF photonics.     

Tunable all-optical delays via Brillouin slow light in an optical fiber

We demonstrate a technique for generating tunable all-optical delays in room temperature single-mode optical fibers at telecommunication wavelengths using the stimulated Brillouin scattering process. This technique makes use of the rapid variation of the refractive index that occurs in the vicinity of the Brillouin gain feature. The wavelength at which the induced delay occurs is broadly tunable by controlling the wavelength of the laser pumping the process, and the magnitude of the delay can be tuned continuously by as much as 25 ns by adjusting the intensity of the pump field. The technique can be applied to pulses as short as 15 ns. This scheme represents an important first step towards implementing slow-light techniques for various applications including buffering in telecommunication systems.     

Broadband Brillouin slow light with multiple-longitudinal-mode,tunable pump

We propose and demonstrate broadband Brillouin slow light using a multiple-longitudinal-mode tunable fiber laser as Brillouin pump. A tunable broadband Brillouin pump with a tuning range from 1 520 to 1 555 nm is generated using a fiber ring laser with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as its gain medium. The pump spectrum consists of a large number of longitudinal modes separated by 6 MHz. The 3-dB bandwidth is about 11.5 GHz, and its fluctuation is less than 100 MHz within the tuning range. An 8-Gb/s data signal can be delayed by up to 83.0 ps (bit error rate < 10 9) at 17-dBm pump power.

On‐chip stimulated Brillouin Scattering for microwave signal processing and generation

Demonstration of continuously tunable delay, low‐noise lasers, dynamically controlled gratings, and optical phase shifting using the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) process has lead to the emergence of SBS as a promising technology for microwave photonics. On‐chip realization of SBS enables photonic integration of microwave photonic signal processing and offers significantly enhanced performance and improved efficiency. On‐chip stimulated Brillouin scattering is reviewed in the context of slow‐light based tunable delay, low‐noise narrow linewidth lasers and filtering for integrated microwave photonics. A discussion on key material and device properties, necessary to enable on‐chip Brillouin scattering using both the single‐pass and resonator geometry, is presented along with an outlook for photonic integration of microwave signal processing and generation in other platforms.     

Slow and fast light based on SBS with the spectrum tailoring

In this paper, slow and fast light of a signal pulse of nanosecond duration are achieved in the same experimental device by using band-pass filters to tailor the spectra of spontaneous Brillouin scattering (SPBS) coming from 50 km single-mode optical fibers (SMF) as the pump light. The phase matching condition of slow and fast light is satisfied by changing wavelengths of band-pass filters .In our experiment, we obtain the tunable delay time for various signal pulses range from 1 ns to 20 ns. By increasing the power of the pump field to 16 mW, a 1 ns signal pulse is delayed 1.5 ns and is advanced 1.0 ns respectively, while the signal pulse almost has no distortion. The experiment has demonstrated that larger relative pulse delay of slow and fast light can be obtained in the same experimental setup when pump power is lower.
