Alumina as a dopant in optical fiber by OVD

Alumina is an indispensable dopant in modern optical fiber technology, particularly due to its important role played in the recent developments of optical fiber amplifiers and high-power fiber lasers over the last decade or so, which have revolutionized the telecommunication systems, and the industrial laser landscapes, respectively. In this paper, Alumina-doped optical fibers advanced through the outside vapor deposition process and their key attributes in the respective applications are reviewed, with Alumina both as a sole dopant for its potential use in the low-loss transmission lines and as a co-dopant for active use in the high-brightness, high-power fiber laser applications.

Geometrical theory of multimode optical fiber-to-fiber connectors

For optical communication to become a reality, it will be necessary to develop both permanent splices and detachable connectors for optical fibers. In this paper, I develop a simple, one-dimensional, geometrical theory with which to calculate losses introduced at a connection by alignment errors or fiber-end separation. I assume the fibers to be illuminated uniformly across the diameter of the core and within the acceptance angle. The calculation is verified with experiment.For typical fibers, the theory shows, not surprisingly, that radial misalignment of the fiber axes is by far the most severe problem. Even fibers with core diameters as large as 100 μm will have to be aligned more precisely than ± 10 μm.

Fiber optics in japan

Abstract

This paper describes the recent progress in research and development of fiber optics in Japan. A review is presented of recent developments in fiber manufacturing, cabling, and fiber splicing. Experimental results are given for an optical communication system with optoelectronic components. Theoretical analysis and fundamental experiments are not included, nor are research activities in such devices as lasers or in such applications as those in medical fields. Transmission characteristics of optical fibers—in particular loss and pulse spreading—are assessed from the viewpoint of their structures. Various methods of fiber strengthening and structuring cables are described from the viewpoint of mechanical strength. Coupling efficiencies of detachable connectors and methods of permanent fiber splicing are described. Experimental results on optical fiber communication systems are presented and coupling techniques between a light source and an optical fiber are described.     

Samuel Pierpont Langley and his Contributions to the Empirical Basis of Black-Body Radiation

In this paper I deal with an early phase of the history of research on black-body radiation. In this phase, from 1880-1900, the American astrophysicist Samuel Pierpont Langley (1834-1906) invented and used a key instrument, the bolometer, to measure for the first time radiation curves that displayed the characteristic features of asymmetry and of a shifting of their maxima to shorter wavelengths with increasing temperature. I emphasize the complex development of the construction of the bolometer and the early experiments performed with it. I also discuss how these developments became important for theoretical research on the black-body radiation formula. My aim is to show that the often-neglected experimental part of the history of research on black-body radiation represents an important precondition for the theoretical developments that followed.

Simultaneous measurement-device-independent continuous variable quantum key distribution with realistic detector compensation

We propose a novel scheme for measurement-device-independent (MDI) continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) by simultaneously conducting classical communication and QKD, which is called “simultaneous MDI-CVQKD” protocol. In such protocol, each sender (Alice, Bob) can superimpose random numbers for QKD on classical information by taking advantage of the same weak coherent pulse and an untrusted third party (Charlie) decodes it by using the same coherent detectors, which could be appealing in practice due to that multiple purposes can be realized by employing only single communication system. What is more, the proposed protocol is MDI, which is immune to all possible side-channel attacks on practical detectors. Security results illustrate that the simultaneous MDI-CVQKD protocol can secure against arbitrary collective attacks. In addition, we employ phasesensitive optical amplifiers to compensate the imperfection existing in practical detectors. With this technology, even common practical detectors can be used for detection through choosing a suitable optical amplifier gain. Furthermore, we also take the finite-size effect into consideration and show that the whole raw keys can be taken advantage of to generate the final secret key instead of sacrificing part of them for parameter estimation. Therefore, an enhanced performance of the simultaneous MDI-CVQKD protocol can be obtained in finite-size regime.

Modeling dispersion in optical fibers: applications to dispersion tailoring and dispersion compensation

The phenomenon of temporal pulse dispersion, which is a key characteristic of an optical fiber communication system is described from the first principles. Beginning with the basics of dispersion in a bulk medium, these concepts are then applied to propagation of a pulse in an optical fiber. Details of modeling dispersion are then described in the context of dispersion tailoring and dispersion compensation with a view to form the foundation for subsequent chapters on dispersion compensation that follow in this report. Basic physics behind the design target for dispersion compensating fibers is discussed, which should be useful to fiber designers.
