光纤布拉格光栅嵌入SMS光纤结构的湿度传感器

提出了一种基于光纤布拉格光栅嵌入单模-多模纤芯-单模(single-mode-multimode fiber core-single mode, SMS)光纤结构的湿度传感器。当环境湿度变化时,SMS光纤结构的干涉光谱会发生漂移,而光纤布拉格光栅对湿度不敏感,其纤芯基模保持不变。因此利用SMS光纤结构对环境湿度的敏感性去调制光纤布拉格光栅纤芯基模,通过检测光纤布拉格光栅纤芯基模的反射能量变化就可以实现湿度测量。数值模拟了SMS光纤结构的内部光场分布规律,理论计算了不同环境折射率时,多模纤芯的长度、直径对SMS光纤结构输出能量耦合系数的影响。理论模拟表明,随着环境折射率变化,SMS光纤结构中传输的纤芯基模的输出能量耦合系数会发生变化。同时制作了传感器样品并对其进行了传感实验研究,实验结果表明多模纤芯长35 mm、纤芯直径为85 μm的传感器在45%～95%RH湿度变化范围内,湿度灵敏度为0.06 dBm·(%RH)-1。在20～80 ℃温度范围内,传感器的温度灵敏度为0.008 nm·℃-1,温度所带来的湿度测量误差为0.047%RH·℃-1。传感器具有制作简单、灵敏度高、反射式能量检测等优点,在湿度测量领域有一定的应用价值。     

单模及多模光纤折射率分布测量方法研究

通过对几种单模及多模光纤折射率分布测量方法的分析研究，得到单模光纤与多模光纤折射率分布测量方法的根本区别。由于单模光纤芯径比较小，因而只能用波动理论分析其传输机理，其中的远场法和近场法测量都是基于标量亥姆霍兹波动方程，即以单模光纤的基本传输理论进行测量；而多模光纤由于其芯径比较大，故而用射线理论分析其传输原理较为合理。多模光纤的折射近场法和近场扫描法均是以纤芯半径处数值孔径不同，对应的折射模和传导模不同为依据来进行测量的。

Application of Turbo codes in optical OFDM multimode fiber communication system

In this paper, Turbo Code is proposed in optical OFDM multimode fiber communication system in order to decrease the bit error rate (BER) of the system, which is mainly affected by the deep nulls of the magnitude response of multimode fiber in the high frequency region (above 3 dB). A simulation system in SIMULINK is established. Based on the system, the BER of the system with Turbo Code is compare to the systems with another two typical coding schemes including convolutional code (CC) and serially concatenated code (SCC) which uses a concatenation of convolutional and RS codes when transmitting 10 Gbps data over various length multimode fibers. Different transmitting rate is also considered. The results show that Turbo coded system has a lower BER than the other two systems and the Turbo coded system can transmit 10 Gbps data to the distance of 300 m with BER below 1e−6.     

Theoretical analysis of multimode fiber amplifiers and lasers containing spatial filters

By the use of the coupling theory of the modes and the multimode rate equations, the performances of the multimode fiber amplifiers or lasers containing a spatial filter have been discussed. After the rate equations applicable to amplifiers are solved, the beam quality factors of the output from a multimode fiber amplifier with and without a single mode filter have been evaluated and compared. By the use of the analytical expression of the threshold pump power applicable to the multimode fiber lasers with the spatial filter and doped with quasi two-energy-level ions, and two example fibers had been selected which may guide 4 and 9 transversal modes, respectively, the threshold pump power for each transversal fiber mode has been evaluated. The results indicate that the single mode filter, does introduce a very strong discrimination for the modes between the high order modes and the fundamental mode. This should considerably favor the operation of the fundamental mode in the lasers with a homogeneously broadened active medium.

A novel bits loading algorithm for adaptive modulation OFDM multimode fiber communication system

A novel bits loading algorithm is proposed for adaptively modulated optical OFDM (AMOOFDM) multimode fiber communication system to decrease the system bit error rate (BER) caused by some OFDM subcarriers located at the deep nulls in the high frequency region of multimode fiber. The simulation results show that the performance of the new algorithm is approximate to the optimal algorithm-Greedy algorithm, but its computational complexity is considerably lower, thus the new algorithm is easy to implement. Comparing to fixed bits loading, adaptive bits loading can reduce the system BER effectively.     

Compact in-fiber mode adapter based on double-cladding fiber for multimode fiber access networks

A simple method for coupling light from a laser diode (LD) to multimode fiber (MMF) by using a compact in-fiber mode adapter, which is constructed with double-cladding fiber is presented, for the first time. Strong cladding-mode resonance across the thin-thickness inner cladding is used to excite the cladding modes. Principle of proposed mode adapter is theoretically investigated and its performances are experimentally verified by measurement results. By comparing the direct connection between LD and MMF, the coupling efficient of transmission power is improved by using our proposed adapter.     

A numerical model of multimode fiber PON frequency response

Frequency response of passive optical network (PON) based on multimode fibers is investigated. The network comprises fibers, connectors and splitters/couplers.

Sensitivity enhancement for a multimode fiber sensor with an axisymmetric metal grating layer

This paper proposes a novel design for a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) fiber sensor with an axisymmetric sub-wavelength metal grating layer. The relationship between the sensor performance (the sensitivity S and the quality factor Q of the SPR dip) and the characteristic parameters are investigated. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed sensor can achieve a maximum sensitivity of 13,000 nm/RIU (refractive index unit) for a refractive index range from 1.3 to 1.4.     

Analysis of temperature dependence for a ratiometric wavelength measurement system using SMS fiber structure based edge filters

Temperature dependence of an edge filter based on singlemode-multimode-singlemode (SMS) fiber structure is investigated numerically and experimentally. The experimental results and numerical results are in good agreement within an operational temperature range from 10 °C to 40 °C. It is found that the thermo-optic coefficient (TOC) has a more significant effect on the temperature dependence of an SMS edge filter compared to the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC). In the ratiometric wavelength measurement using two SMS edge filters, a small temperature variation can induce the ratio variation and in turn the wavelength measurement error. It is found the SMS edge filter’s response to both wavelength and temperature is linear. It is proposed that self-monitoring of temperature can be carried out using an updated ratiometric scheme. Self-monitoring of the temperature reduces temperature induced wavelength error to ±0.7 pm at 1545 nm, regardless of the ambient temperature variation.     

Adaptive unsaturated technique for OFDM multimode fiber communication system

A novel adaptive unsaturated technique is proposed for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) multimode fiber communication. The core idea of this technique is that bits originally allocated to poor subcarriers are now transmitted by new extra subcarriers rather than the original good subcarriers used in adaptive modulation OFDM. It can reduce the system bit error rate (BER) which is mainly caused by some OFDM subcarriers located at the deep nulls in the high frequency region of multimode fiber. The simulation results indicate that adaptive unsaturated technique is more effective in reducing the BER of system than adaptive modulation and equal bit allocation. Moreover, adaptive unsaturated technique does not need complex bit allocation algorithm and each subcarrier has the same modulation format, so it is simple and practical.     

Spliced-fiber mode filter for 1060-nm single-mode transmission

We present a novel mode filter operating for the 1060-nm band, which selectively removes the power of the high-order mode (HOM) from a conventional single-mode fiber (C-SMF) that supports two modes at the short-wavelength band. Our mode filter is fabricated very easily by fusion-splicing a short section of short-wavelength single-mode fiber in the middle of the C-SMF link. By using our spliced-fiber mode filter (SF-MF), a high HOM suppression performance of > 18 dB has been achieved with a low insertion loss of < 0.3 dB over the full band of optical communications from 1050 nm to 1650 nm. We have also developed a new mode power measurement scheme that takes advantage of the bending sensitivity of the HOM guidance. This measurement scheme enabled us to evaluate accurately the performance factors of the fabricated mode filter.
