Modeling of Multi-Wavelength Brillouin Fiber Laser Based on Analytical Solutions in a Linear Cavity

Abstract

In this article, an accurate model of multi-wavelength Brillouin fiber laser is developed by analytically solving cascade-stimulated Brillouin scattering equations in a linear cavity. The dependence of Stokes signal power on the incident pump power and the successive reflected transmitted powers is calculated. Furthermore, an analytical approach that can be used to predict the generated Stokes signals power is derived. Finally, this derived model is checked with experimental results that show significant agreement with the analytical solution of the model.

An Efficient Photonic Crystal Fiber-Based Brillouin Erbium Fiber Laser Using a Fiber Bragg Grating for Multi-Wavelength Generation

Abstract

An efficient multi-wavelength Brillouin erbium fiber laser is demonstrated using an improved configuration with a broadband fiber Bragg grating and a piece of photonic crystal fiber. The laser generates more than 55 lines of optical comb with a line spacing of approximately 0.09 nm in a 1,565-5 nm region using pump powers of 3 dBm and 150 mW for the Brillouin and 980-nm pumps, respectively. The Brillouin erbium fiber laser with a fiber Bragg grating's reflectivity of 50% obtained a higher number of comb lines compared to that of 99% reflectivity.     

Dynamics of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in a Short and High-Finesse Fiber Fabry-Perot Resonator

We theoretically investigate the dynamics of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a short fiber Fabry-Perot resonator with reflection mirrors. The analysis is based on the coherent six-wave model including an optical Kerr effect and the linear cavity detunings for the pump and created Stokes waves are taken into account in the formulation. The instabilities including periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic oscillations can occur owing to the Kerr effect even if the fiber resonator is so short as to ensure a single longitudinal-mode operation. The threshold power for SBS and the boundary power between the stable and unstable regions are numerically calculated as a function of the amplitude reflectance of mirrors for different cavity detunings. The dynamics of SBS and these two critical powers depend on the amplitude reflectance and the cavity detuning. Although an increase in the mirror reflectance decreases the threshold power for SBS, it may limit the utility of SBS since the stable region is narrow and the output power levels of the pump and Stokes waves are low.     

单模光纤受激布里渊散射阈值的研究

15波长输出的布里渊掺铒光纤激光器

多波长布里渊掺铒光纤激光器是一种新型的多波长光纤激光器,其原理是利用受激布里渊增益和掺铒光纤的线性增益,可以在常温下得到波长间隔约为0．08nm(～10GHz)的多波长输出。报道的布里渊掺铒光纤激光器,在布里渊抽运功率为1．7mW、980nm抽运功率为300mW的情况下得到稳定的15个波长(间隔～10GHz)的输出,这种激光器用作光传感器、光谱分析仪以及密集波分复用系统的光源。实验发现,输出波长的个数随着980nm抽运功率的增大而增加。另外,布里渊掺铒光纤激光器的信号功率主要来自于掺铒光纤的增益,而布里渊增益对它的影响不大。     

水的衰减系数及有效增益长度对受激布里渊散射输出能量的影响

本文从理论和实验上分析了水的衰减系数及有效增益长度对受激布里渊散射(SBS)输出能量的影响。实验结果表明,衰减系数越小,SBS输出能量越高。由于脉宽压缩效应,当入射光能量足够高并且有效增益长度相对较长时,SBS易获得高能量而形成极高的峰值功率。一旦这种峰值功率超过受激拉曼散射(SRS)或者二阶SBS阈值,SBS就会作为一个新的激发源去激发SRS或者二阶SBS,从而消耗掉部分SBS的能量,所以会出现后向有效增益长度越长,SBS的输出能量越低的现象。 关键词： 受激布里渊散射 衰减系数 有效增益长度 脉宽压缩

Spacing-adjustable and wavelength-tunable multiwavelength fibre laser with nonlinear Brillouin gain and birefringence fibre loop mirror

This paper demonstrates a room-temperature multiwavelength fibre laser with spacing-adjustability and wavelength-tunability. The nonlinear gain of self-excited stimulated Brillouin scattering can suppress mode competition induced by homogeneous broadening of Erbium-doped fibre. With the use of a birefringence fibre loop filter, the wavelength spacing can be adjusted by changing the length of the used birefringence fibre, and the lasing wavelengths can be finely tuned through modifying the filtering profile of the birefringence filter. Multiwavelength output with spectral spacing as small as 0.076~nm and a wavelength number of more than 80 has been successfully produced.     

A low-threshold multiwavelength Brillouin fiber laser with double-frequency spacing based on a small-core fiber

We demonstrate multiwavelength Brillouin fiber lasers (MWBFLs) with double-frequency spacing based on a small-core fiber (SCF) and a standard single-mode fiber (SMF), which have core diameters of 5 and 8.8 μm, respectively. Experimental results show that the SCF-based MWBFL exhibits a higher laser output power and a lower pump threshold. The output powers of the SCF-based MWBFL are > 1.4 times those of the SMF-based MWBFL. Moreover, the threshold power required to generate each channel of the SCF-based MWBFL is 59% that of the SMF-based MWBFL. When the same pump power of 180 mW is injected, the number of laser channels generated for the SCF-based MWBFL is 13, which is twice that generated for the SMF-based MWBFL. In addition, the SCF-based MWBFL exhibits good wavelength tunability from 1535 to 1565 nm and temporal stability over an hour.     

布里渊动态光栅原理及其在光纤传感中的应用

自从2007年布里渊动态光栅被首次提出用于实现光存储以来,该技术得到了国际上的广泛关注和研究.布里渊动态光栅本质上是由相干声波场激发的折射率光栅,一般情况下两束抽运光(频率差等于光纤的布里渊频移)以相同的偏振态从光纤两端注入到光纤中,通过受激布里渊散射效应激发出相干声波场,即形成布里渊动态光栅.光纤布里渊动态光栅因具有全光产生、参数灵活可控的优点,已被广泛研究应用于光纤传感、光纤特性表征、光存储、全光信号处理、微波光子学和高精度光谱分析等.本文分析布里渊动态光栅产生和探测原理,重点探讨在高性能分布式光纤传感上的应用,这些应用包括高灵敏度温度和应变分布式传感、温度和应变同时解调、分布式横向压力传感、分布式静压力(气压或液压)传感、高空间分辨率分布式传感和高精度光谱分析.

Generation of short light pulses under the stimulated Brillouin scattering in fibers with an optimal feedback

The generation of short light pulses (1 ns) in single mode fibers under pumping by wide laser pulses (of a microsecond duration) due to the backward stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is numerically investigated. The influence of the acoustic diffraction is taken into account. The cases of acoustic waveguide and anti-waveguide fibers are considered. For an acoustic anti-waveguide fiber, a dependence of overlap integral S on the acoustic mode number n has a sharp peak in the region of n 100. Computer simulations have demonstrated the energy conversion of the pump wave into short pulses of the signal (Stokes) wave in the case of synchronous pumping. The optimal length of the fiber should be approximately equal to the half-length of the pump pulse. The bypass time of the Stokes pulse of the optimal circuit fiber and the feedback loop must be equal to the repetition period of the pump pulse. An importance of acoustic mode structure of the fiber for the process of forming pulse train in shown. We have found that the acoustic anti-waveguide fibers with a small core (a < 3 m) can be preferable for obtaining the stable train of compressed pulses.

Two-Frequency Brillouin Fiber Laser Controlled by Temperature Difference in Fiber Ring Resonator

A Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) consisting of a fiber ring resonator with different fiber temperatures emits two-frequency light output. The two-frequency BFL yields an optical beat output which can be utilized as an optical frequency shifter. The output beat frequency is controllable by the temperature difference in the fiber ring resonator and changes with a step of a resonant frequency interval of BFL. The temperature dependence of the BFL output frequency was 2.4 MHz/°C. The stability of the output beat frequency to the temperature fluctuation was estimated as 1.04°C/2.5 MHz.
