Stochastic resonance of bias signal-modulated noise in a single-mode laser＊

Stochastic resonance (SR) for bias signal modulation is studied in a single-mode laser system. By investigating a gain-noise model driven by correlated pump noise and quantum noise, we find that, whether the correlation coefficient between both the noises is positive or negative, SR always appears in the dependence of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) upon the noise correlation time and the frequency of the modulation signal. However, only when the correlation coefficient between both noises is negative can SR occur in the dependence of SNR upon the quantum noise intensity and pump noise intensity, while when the correlation coefficient between both noises is positive, it shows monotonically.     

Stochastic resonance in a gain--noise model of a single-mode laser driven by pump noise and quantum noise with cross-correlation between real and imaginary parts under direct signal modulation

Stochastic resonance (SR) is studied in a gain--noise model of a single-mode laser driven by a coloured pump noise and a quantum noise with cross-correlation between real and imaginary parts under a direct signal modulation. By using a linear approximation method, we find that the SR appears during the variation of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) separately with the pump noise self-correlation time \tau , the noise correlation coefficient between the real part and the imaginary part of the quantum noise \lambda_q , the attenuation coefficient \gamma and the deterministic steady-state intensity I_0 . In addition, it is found that the SR can be characterized not only by the dependence of SNR on the noise variables of \tau and \lambda_q, but also by the dependence of SNR on the laser system variables of \gamma and I₀. Thus our investigation extends the characteristic quantity of SR proposed before.     

Influence of the net gain on characteristic of stochastic resonance in a single-mode laser system

The phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR) is found in a single-mode laser system driven by the colored pump noise with signal modulation and the quantum noise with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts. When the net gain a0 changes, it is found that, 1) the shape of the curve of the signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) versus the pump noise self-correlation time T exhibits a changing process of multiform SR, from single-peak SR to simultaneous existence of resonances and suppressions; 2) the curve of SNR versus signal frequency Ω experiences a complicated changing process from the monotonous descending to the simultaneous appearances of a maximum and a minimum, and finally to monotonous descending; 3)the curve of SNR versus cross-correlation coefficient between the real and imaginary parts of the quantum noise λq appears an acute single-peak SR. Therefore, the net gain a0 greatly influences the characteristic of SR of laser system.     

Stochastic Resonance in Linear Region of a Single-Mode Laser： Effects of Amplitude Modulation of Signal

A single-mode laser noise model driven by quadratic colored pump noise and amplitude modulation signal is proposed. The real and imaginary parts of the pump noise are assumed to be cross-correlation. The effect of cross-correlation of noise and amplitude modulation of signal on laser statistical properties is studied by using the linearized approximation. The analytic expression of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is calculated. It is found that the phenomena of stochastic resonance (SR) respectively exist in the curves of the SNR versus the noise cross-correlation coefficient λ and the SNR versus the pump parameter a, as well as the SNR versus the signal frequency ω in our model. It is shown that there are three different typies of SR in the model: the conventional form of SR, the SR in the broad sense, and the bona fide SR.

Stochastic resonance in a single-mode laser driven by frequency modulated signal and coloured noises

By adding frequency modulated signals to the intensity equation of gain--noise model of the single-mode laser driven by two coloured noises which are correlated, this paper uses the linear approximation method to calculate the power spectrum and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the laser intensity. The results show that the SNR appears typical stochastic resonance with the variation of intensity of the pump noise and quantum noise. As the amplitude of a modulated signal has effects on the SNR, it shows suppression, monotone increasing, stochastic resonance, and multiple stochastic resonance with the variation of the frequency of a carrier signal and modulated signal.

Influences of quantum noises on direct-modulated properties of 1.3-μm InGaAsP/InP laser diodes

Due to the zero dispersion point at 1.3μm in optical fibres, 1.3-μm InGaAsP/InP laser diodes have become main light sources in fibre communication systems recently. Influences of quantum noises on direct-modulated properties of single-mode 1.3-μm InGaAsP/InP laser diodes are investigated in this article. Considering the carrier and photon noises and the cross-correlation between the two noises, the power spectrum of the photon density and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the direct-modulated single-mode laser system are calculated using the linear approximation method. We find that the stochastic resonance (SR) always appears in the dependence of the SNR on the bias current density, and is strongly affected by the cross-correlation coefficient between the carrier and photon noises, the frequency of modulation signal, and the photon lifetime in the laser cavity. Hence, it is promising to use the SR mechanism to enhance the SNR of direct-modulated InGaAsP/InP laser diodes and improve the quality of optical fibre communication systems.

Stochastic Resonance in a Single-Mode Laser Driven by Pump Noise and Quantum Noise with Cross-Correlated Real and Imaginary Parts

We present an analytic investigation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by studying a signal modulated model of a single-mode laser system driven by pump noise and quantum noise with correlated real and imaginary parts,and find there is a maximum in the curve of the dependence of SNR upon the cross-correlation coefficient λq between the real part and the imaginary part, i.e., stochastic resonance appears in the SNR vs. λq curve. Moreover, when the SNR is at the maximum, the cross-correlation coefficient λq = O, which is coincidentally at the minimum of the mean normalized intensity fluctuation. The influences on stochastic resonance by the intensities of the pump and the quantum noise, the amplitude of the modulation signal, and the net gain of the laser are also studied. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the results obtained in this paper is reliable, the valid range for the linear approximation method is discussed.

Parameter-induced stochastic resonance in an over-damped linear system

Stochastic resonance (SR) in an over-damped linear system subjected to an excitation of bias signal modulated noise with multiplicative and additive noises is investigated. We obtain the exact expressions of the first two moments and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the output by using linear-response theory. The SNR depends non-monotonically on the intensity and the correlation time of multiplicative noise, the correlation time of additive noise, the intensity of the cross noise between multiplicative and additive noise, as well as the external field frequency. The conventional SR, the SR in a broad sense and the bona fide SR are found in the system. The influences of the asymmetries of multiplicative and additive noise, the correlation rate of the cross noise, the intensity of additive noise, the amplitude of signal and the bias on the SNR are analyzed. Moreover, we pointed out that SR can be realized by tuning the system parameter with fixed noise, i.e., parameter-induced stochastic resonance (PSR) exists.

Resonance behavior for an underdamped bistable system driven by square-wave signal and multiplicative noise

The stochastic resonance (SR) behavior for an underdamped bistable system driven by square-wave signal and multiplicative noise is investigated. Under the adiabatic approximation condition, the expression for the system output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is obtained. The analysis results show that stochastic multi-resonance phenomenon occurs when the SNR varies with the intensities of the multiplicative and additive noise. SR phenomenon can be observed on the curves of the SNR versus the system bias, versus the amplitude of the dichotomous noise and versus the amplitude of the square-wave signal. Moreover, the SNR varies non-monotonously with the variety of other system parameters.

Long-distance fiber Bragg grating sensor system with a high optical signal-to-noise ratio based on a tunable fiber ring laser configuration

A novel tunable fiber ring laser configuration with a combination of bidirectional Raman amplification and dual erbium-doped fiber (EDF) amplification is proposed for realizing high optical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), long-distance, quasi-distributed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing systems with large capacities and low cost. The hybrid Raman-EDF amplification configuration arranged in the ring laser can enhance the optical SNR of FBG sensor signals significantly owing to the good combination of the high gain of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and the low noise of the Raman amplification. Such a sensing system can support a large number of FBG sensors because of the use of a tunable fiber Fabry-Perot filter located within the ring laser and spatial division multiplexing for expansion of sensor channels. Experimental results show that an excellent optical SNR of approximately 60 dB has been achieved for a 50 km transmission distance with a low Raman pump power of approximately 170 mW at a wavelength of 1455 nm and a low EDFA pump power of approximately 40 mW at a wavelength of 980 nm, which is the highest optical SNR achieved so far for a 50 km long FBG sensor system, to our knowledge.
