A Dispersion Flattening Dispersion Compensating Fiber Design for Broadband Dispersion Compensation

An efficient dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) design is proposed based on a coaxial fiber structure, which provides dispersion compensation over a broad wavelength region matching that of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier gain spectrum. The design can provide dispersion coefficient that is nearly twice those of existing DCF designs. Due to the basic nature of the dispersion curve of this design, the total link dispersion cannot only be compensated but also can be flattened.     

Fabrication of High-Performance Dispersion Compensating Fiber by Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition

In this paper, the dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) with figure of merit larger than 200 at 1550 nm has been fabricated by plasma chemical vapor deposition (PCVD). PCVD allows for a more precise and fine control of the refractive index. In addition, as the efficiency of PCVD is relatively much higher, DCFs can be fabricated faster with less material, which will reduce their cost.

We present an externally modulated NTSC AM-VSB erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA)-repeated system in the 1550 nm region which uses a chirped fiber grating (CFG) as a dispersion compensation device. In contrast to the conventional externally modulated fiber optical CATV systems, either with or without dispersion compensation fiber (DCF), good performances of carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) S 50 dB, composite second order (CSO) S 74 dB, and composite triple beat (CTB) S 65 dB were achieved for the full channel band after a 100-km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission.

An Efficient Dispersion Calculation Method for Axially Symmetric Optical Fibers

An efficient numerical modal calculation method for an axially symmetric optical fiber is presented using a numerical Galerkin's method. By decomposing the transverse electric field of a guided wave with Bessel functions of the first kind in cylindrical polar coordinates, we have shown that dispersion characteristics of an optical fiber can be obtained very easily. In order to illustrate the effectiveness of this suggested method, numerical examples are given for a step index fiber, a W-shape depressed inner cladding fiber, and a dispersion-flattened fiber.     

Third-Order Dispersion in Linearly Chirped Bragg Gratings and Its Compensation

When fiber optics' quadratic dispersion is compensated, the cubic dispersion determines the transmission quality in an optical link. Although the third-order dispersion coefficient is small in standard fiber optics at the third window, it is not in the linearly chirped grating used to the second-order dispersion equalization. The influence of the grating parameters on its third-order dispersion value is systematically studied and an efficient and low-cost device is proposed thatis numerically proven to cancel the global third-order dispersion that arises from the optical link.     

Broadband dispersion characteristics of diffractive microlenses based on the finite-difference time-domain method

The broadband dispersion characteristics of diffractive microlenses are studied using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The distributions of the diffracted electric fields obtained through a diffractive microlens are presented for illumination wavelengths ranging from 0.35 to 1.30 μm, along with the corresponding broadband dispersion curves. It is shown that both the principal focal length and the diffracted order of the principal focal point are dependent on the illumination wavelengths. The broadband dispersion characteristics of a diffractive microlens may be used to optimise light coupling for a broadband optical fibre source.

Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) measurements are presented for a sample of installed optical fibers. High PMD values are fairly common, with 9 of the 71 fibers having PMD coefficients above 0.3 ps km1 2. The results are analyzed in terms of the age of the fibers and the type of cabling. Measurements are presented for a number of concatenated fiber links, and the results show that the PMD value of the link is approximately equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the PMD values of the individual fibers.

Approximate and Exact Small Signal Analysis for Single-Mode Fiber Near Zero Dispersion Wavelength with Higher Order Dispersion

This article presents the comparison of approximate and exact small-signal theories for analyzing the influence of the higher-order dispersion terms on dispersive optical communication systems operating near zero dispersion wavelength for linear single-mode fiber. For the approximate theory, the generalized conversion matrix has been reported and gives the transfer function of intensity and phase from the fiber input to fiber output for a laser source including the influence of any higher-order dispersion term. In addition, expressions for the small-signal frequency response and the relative intensity noise (RIN) response of an ultrafast laser diode including noises are derived. However, it is observed that the approximation assumed for the second-order dispersion term for the approximate analysis is not valid. From the approximate theory, the exact generalized conversion matrix and exact expressions for small-signal frequency response and relative intensity noise (RIN) are obtained. We show that for the exact theory, the second-order dispersion term has no effect on intensity and frequency response even at large modulating frequencies and large propagation distances contrary to the approximate theory as reported by other authors. But we show that third-order dispersion term certainly has some minute impact on the frequency and RIN response for long distance links at high modulating frequencies.

采用矢量光束传输法数值模拟了基于模式耦合的双芯光子晶体光纤的色散和非线性与其结构的关系。结果表明:通过在包层中移除一层空气孔以形成外纤芯并调整内外纤芯之间的距离及包层空气孔的占空比,内外纤芯间的模式耦合可以在宽带范围内发生,导致产生大负色散。同时,由于光场分布在两个纤芯内,增大了模场面积,产生低非线性,可以实现低非线性宽带色散补偿。     

基于光谱线性拟合的宽波段光源波动补偿方法

宽波段光源在工作过程中,光强通常会随供电电源输出功率的变化而波动。宽波段光源波段内各个波长的光谱强度将会发生不同程度的波动。为解决光源光强波动时其波段内各个波长光谱强度的补偿问题,提出了一种基于光谱线性拟合的补偿方法。使用这种方法,只需测量光源波段光强的变化,就可以补偿各个波长光谱强度的波动。通过分析理想黑体全波段辐射出射度与光谱辐射出射度的近似线性关系。建立了宽波段光源波段光强与光谱强度的线性模型。实验装置主要由卤素灯珠、光源电源、光阑、光谱仪及计算机构成。调节电源的输出功率,得到一组卤素灯珠在不同输入功率下的相对光谱强度。测量不同功率下卤素灯珠光谱强度来验证该方法补偿效果。按线性关系拟合了卤素灯珠光谱强度与其波段光强关系式,并分析了拟合误差。实验表明：卤素灯珠的光谱强度与其波段光强具有很好的线性关系,可以用波段光强按线性关系来补偿其光谱强度的波动。随着卤素灯珠输入功率的增大,补偿后的光谱强度的相对误差绝对值下降。在卤素灯珠输入功率范围内,使用该方法补偿的光谱强度在绝大部分(92%)波长下相对误差绝对值可在5%以内。
