Intermodal interference of LP0j modes in optical fiber with liquid core

We present intermodal interference of modes LP_0j in silica optical fiber with liquid core. An appropriate detection method is proposed for observation of intermodal interference of LP_0j modes. Measured spectral dependencies reveal a clear local minimum, where position is a function of optical fiber parameters. We focused on investigation of dependence of that minimum position on length of optical fiber with liquid core. From measured spectral dependencies the evident blue shift of local minimum is observed as length of optical fiber increases. Character of spectral characteristics correspond with intermodal interference of modes LP_0j and is demonstrated by numerical calculations. Presented intermodal interference in combination with liquid-filled core of optical fiber can be attractive for sensing applications.     

Intermodal interference of LP01 and LP11 modes inpanda fibers

LP01 and LP11 mode interferences in high-birefringence （Hi-Bi） panda fibers are theoretically and experimentally presented. The propagation characteristics of both the fundamental and second-order modes in Hi-Bi panda fibers are investigated, and the interference output intensity distribution of the LP₀1 and LP₁1 modes in panda fibers are thoroughly examined. An experiment is conducted to verify the feasibility of modal interference sensors. The results show that the two-lobe interference pattern of panda fibers generates energy exchanges when external strain is applied on the fiber. Moreover, Hi-Bi panda fibers can be used to design voltage sensors.     

Research on the optical fiber gas flowmeters based on intermodal interference

In this work, a self-heating type optical fiber flowmeter with high sensitivity was proposed. The core-offset fiber structures were employed to couple a part of signal light into the fiber cladding layer, and the other part of light still propagated in the core layer. The intermodal interference between the two parts of light happened when the cladding modes were coupled back into core layer. Meanwhile, the high power laser was also introduced into fiber to heat the silver film coated on the surface of the cladding layer. When the cool gas flow passed, the temperature of the sensor probe decreased due to the heat transfer process. Because of the thermo-optic effect in the fiber, interference spectrum could be shifted when the temperature was changed. The experimental results showed the resolution of the proposed sensor was 2×10⁻² m/s in the region of 0–8 m/s. The highest sensitivity could achieve 1537 pm/(m/s).     

Single mode optical fiber characterisation by the LP11 mode radiation pattern

We describe a method for determining the V-value from the far-field radiation pattern of dual mode optical fibers (this method is an extension of the work by Gambling et al. for the LP₁₁ modes). The method involves measurements of the maximum radiation angle and the angle of the first minimum. Curves are presented which can be used with dual mode fibers, determining the core diameter, the refractive index difference between core and cladding, as well as the V-value in the single mode regime for longer wavelength operation with the help of dispersion curves of the dopant materials.

液芯光纤中溶液吸收和荧光的性质对CS2受激拉曼散射阈值的影响

利用液芯光纤技术研究了不同浓度的β-Carotene的CS₂溶液的吸收与荧光的特性对CS₂的一、二阶Stokes谱线阈值的影响.实验发现随溶液浓度(10^-8—10^-6 mol/L)增加，CS₂的一阶Stokes谱线的激发阈值相对变高；并且与纯CS₂芯液的受激拉曼散射相比较，在低抽运能量激发下，就观察到CS₂的二阶Stokes谱线.这主要是由于在CS₂的受激拉曼谱线产生的过程中，β-Carotene的CS₂溶液的吸收和荧光共同影响了CS₂的一、二阶Stokes谱线的阈值.我们进行了理论上的拟合与分析，其结果与实验符合很好. 关键词： 2受激拉曼散射阈值')" href="#">CS₂受激拉曼散射阈值 液芯光纤 吸收与荧光

Theoretical model for the transverse interference pattern of GRIN optical fiber using a laser sheet of light

A new technique (El-Ghandoor et al., Opt. Laser Technol. 31(7) (1999) 481–488) has been applied to study the shape of transverse interference fringes, instead of multiple beam Fizeau fringes (Marhic, Stein, Appl. Phys. Lett. 35 (1975) 1678–1682), from a GRIN optical fiber. In this technique, a laser light sheet is used to illuminate and pass directly through the optical fiber. Theoretical expressions are derived for the optical path differences of three groups of interference beams. The first one passes through the cladding, the core, and then the cladding once again; the second passes through the cladding only, and the third passes through the surrounding air. Theoretical expressions for the shape of transverse interference fringes formed across isotropic non-absorbing optical fibers are also calculated.

Discussion on the effective cut-off wavelength of the LP11 mode in single-mode optical fibres

Recent experimental investigations have shown a distance-dependence of the effective cut-off wavelenght of the second mode in an optical fibre. This seems to allow the possibility of operating, over very large distances, with higher values of light acceptance. In this paper a theoretical investigation of such a phenomenon is presented, showing that the above possibility really exists, although it must be paid for with a remarkable increase of the overall attenuation.     

Generation of squeezed TEMM01 modes with periodically poled KTiOPO4 crystal

Spatial quantum optics and quantum information based on the high order transverse mode are of importance for the super-resolution measurement beyond the quantum noise level.
