Cross-phase modulation instability in optical fibres with exponential saturable nonlinearity and high-order dispersion

Utilizing the linear-stability analysis, this paper analytically investigates and calculates the condition and gain spectra of cross-phase modulation instability in optical fibres in the case of exponential saturable nonlinearity and high-order dispersion. The results show that, the modulation instability characteristics here are similar to those of conventional saturable nonlinearity and Kerr nonlinearity. That is to say, when the fourth-order dispersion has the same sign as that of the second-order one, a new gain spectral region called the second one which is far away from the zero point may appear. The existence of the exponential saturable nonlinearity will make the spectral width as well as the peak gain of every spectral region increase with the input powers before decrease. Namely, for every spectral regime, this may lead to a unique value of peak gain and spectral width for two different input powers. In comparison with the case of conventional saturable nonlinearity, however, when the other parameters are the same, the variations of the spectral width and the peak gain with the input powers will be faster in case of exponential saturable nonlinearity.     

高阶色散和指数饱和非线性光纤的调制不稳定性

采用线性稳定性分析法,解析和计算了指数饱和非线性和高阶色散光纤中的调制不稳定条件和增益谱。结果表明:当二阶和四阶色散同为负时,随着参数的不同,增益谱可能只有一个谱区,也可能出现两个分离的谱区;当二阶和四阶色散分别为正和负时,无调制不稳定性;在其它色散区,则只有一个谱区。指数饱和非线性可能使各谱区的谱宽、峰值增益随入纤功率的增大呈现出先增大后减小的特点,即出现两个不同的输入功率对应同一个不稳定增益峰值和谱宽的情形。在其它参数相同时,指数饱和非线性下增益谱的谱宽和峰值增益随入纤功率的变化速度将比传统饱和非线性更快。     

Modulation instability in negative refractive metamaterials with exponential saturable nonlinearity and self-steepening effects

Modulation instability (MI) in negative refractive metamaterials with exponential saturable nonlinearity and the self-steeping effect is investigated by using the standard linear stability analysis and the Drude electromagnetic model. The dispersion relation, instability condition, cut-off frequency, gain spectrum, and their corresponding dimensionless expressions are analytically deduced and then calculated. The results show that, the self-steepening effect will suppress MI by decreasing the cut-off frequency and the maximum gain. And the larger the power density ratio is, more slowly the cut-off frequency and the maximum gain decrease with increase of the self-steepening parameter. Although the sign of the self-steepening parameter does not influence MI but its absolute value must be smaller than a certain value. Depending on different self-steepening parameters, the cut-off frequency and maximum gain may decrease or increase before decrease with increase of the power density ratio. In particular, for large self-steepening parameters, the power density ratio may have a threshold value. When the power density ratio is under this threshold, MI will disappear.

Modulation instability in metamaterials with fourth-order linear dispersion,second-order nonlinear dispersion,and three kinds of saturable nonlinearites

The linearized nonlinear propagation equation and its coefficients, gain spectrum of modulation instability (MI) in metamaterials (MMs) with fourth-order linear dispersion, second-order nonlinear dispersion, and three kinds of saturable nonlinearites, are analytically deduced by utilizing the linear stability analysis and Drude electromagnetic model. Then variations of gain spectra of MI with the normalized angular frequencies and the optical power densities are calculated in real units. In the negative refractive region, two kinds of gain spectra are discovered. The first (second) one is close to (far from) the zero perturbation frequencies and it corresponds to the lower (higher) normalized angular frequencies. Moreover, the second one has higher cutoff frequency, which is obviously beneficial to generation of high-repetition-rate pulse trains. While in the positive refractive region, only the first kind of gain spectra is found. With increase of the optical power densities, the peak gains and the spectral widths of MI increase before decrease, but they vary the most rapidly (slowly) for the exponential (conventional) saturable nonlinearities. The MI characteristics and their corresponding applications can be adjusted by several methods.

Effects of walk-off on cross-phase modulation induced modulation instability in an optical fibre with high-order dispersion

This paper investigates the effects of walk-off among optical pulses on cross-phase modulation induced modulation instability in the normal dispersion region of an optical fibre with high-order dispersion. The results indicate that, in the case of high-order dispersion, the walk-off effect takes on new characteristics and will influence considerably the shape, position and especially the number of the spectral regions of the gain spectra of modulation instability. Not only the group-velocity mismatch, but also the difference of the third-order dispersion of two optical waves will alter the gain spectra of modulation instability but in different ways. Depending on the values of the walk-off parameters, the number of the spectral regions may increase from two to at most four, and the spectral shape and position may change too.

基于超材料的偏振不敏感太赫兹宽带吸波体设计

本文设计了一种基于超材料的偏振不敏感太赫兹宽带吸波体.吸波体包含两层金属和一层中间介质,表面金属层每一个周期单元由五种尺寸接近的金属块按照相邻不同的规律排列成5×5的方形阵列.各种尺寸金属块分别产生单峰谐振吸收,五个谐振吸收峰相互靠近从而产生宽带吸收.通过研究吸波体表面电流和电场z分量分布情况可知,入射太赫兹能量的吸收主要是由y方向上电场引起的电偶极子振荡和z方向上磁场引起的磁极化产生,而且金属层的欧姆损耗起主要作用.仿真结果表明,吸波体吸收率在80%以上的带宽约为1.2 THz,最高吸收率可达98.7%,半峰全宽(FWHM)为1.6 THz,该宽带吸波体的厚度约为中心波长的二十分之一,对偏振方向不敏感,且能实现大角度吸收,在太赫兹频段的电磁隐身、测辐射热探测器以及宽带通信等领域有潜在的应用价值.

Induced modulational instability in EDFAs in the presence of higher-order nonlinear and dispersive effects

We derive the dispersion equation for erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), assuming the supplementary effects of time-derivative nonlinearities including intrapulse Raman scattering and self-steepening incorporated with third order dispersion and product of gain and square of dipole relaxation time parameter, in the extended form of nonlinear Schrödinger equation and investigate their impacts on gain and cut-off frequency of modulational instability (MI) in EDFAs. Also, the influences of those effects on instability of steady-state amplitude, in the form of generation of terahertz pulse train of femtosecond solitons from a weak-modulated signal by induced MI, are numerically simulated and discussed within EDFAs in normalized form.     

The role of birefringence in modulation instability fiber ring resonators

We considered a high birefringence fiber ring cavity, which can be represented by a system of two incoherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with periodic boundary conditions. The stability of the system against time domain periodic perturbations could be strongly conditioned by fiber birefringence. We apply both a perturbative approach and a mean field approximation, in order to highlight the dependence of modulation instability on birefringence and ring detuning. We extend the study of the dynamical properties of the system by means of a phase matching interpretation and a selection of numerical solutions of the governing equations.
