Design on a highly birefringent and nonlinear photonic crystal fiber in the C waveband

In this paper, a novel photonic crystal fiber （PCF） with high birefringence and nonlinearity is designed. The charac- teristics of birefringence, dispersion and nonlinearity are studied by using the full-vector finite element method （FVFEM）. The numerical results show that the phase birefringence and nonlinear coefficient of PCF can be up to 4.51× 10-3 and 32.8972 w-l.km-1 at 1.55 μm, respectively. The proposed PCF could be found to have important applications in the polarization-dependent nonlinear optics such as the pulse compress and reshaping in the C waveband.     

Investigation of Hybrid Optical Amplifiers for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed System with Reduced Spacings at Higher Bit Rates

Abstract

This article proposes various combinations of optical amplifiers for a dense wavelength division multiplexed system and investigates the impact of reduced channel spacing at high bit rates in terms of quality factor, bit error rate, eye closure, and output power. It is reported that the hybrid optical amplifier (Raman–erbium-doped fiber amplifier [EDFA]) provides better results with a maximum covered single span distance (220 km) at channel spacing of 6.25 GHz. The maximum acceptable bit rate for the 12.5-GHz channel spacing dense wavelength division multiplexed system is also investigated, and the recommendation is provided that for the Raman–EDFA, Raman–EDFA–Raman, EDFA–Raman–EDFA, and EDFA–semiconductor optical amplifier–EDFA, the operating bit rate should not be greater than 20, 16, 19, and 20 Gbps, respectively.     

The Design of Passive Optical Networking+Ethernet over Coaxial Cable Access Networking and Video-on-Demand Services Carrying

Abstract

Video on demand is a very attractive service used for entertainment, education, and other purposes. The design of passive optical networking+Ethernet over coaxial cable accessing and a home gateway system is proposed. The network integrates the passive optical networking and Ethernet over coaxial cable to provide high dedicated bandwidth for the metropolitan video-on-demand services. Using digital video broadcasting, IP television protocol, unicasting, and broadcasting mechanisms maximizes the system throughput. The home gateway finishes radio frequency signal receiving and provides three kinds of interfaces for high-definition video, voice, and data, which achieves triple-play and wire/wireless access synchronously.

Carbon Dioxide Measurement Based on Multimode Diode Laser Correlation Spectroscopy Employing Wavelength Modulation Techniques

The use of a tunable multimode diode laser system based on correlation spectroscopy and wavelength modulation spectroscopy to measure the concentration of the carbon dioxide in ambient air through the 2 υ₁ + 2υ₂ + υ₃ absorption lines around 1570 nm is reported. The carbon dioxide concentrations are derived from the relationship between the normalized second-harmonic signal peak heights of the measurement and reference signals. The validation of the system is conducted by a set of experiments with controlled carbon dioxide and nitrogen mixtures. The correlation and standard deviation between the measured and actual carbon dioxide concentrations are 0.9973 and 4.03%, respectively, over the tested range. A detection limit of 340 ppm m was achieved using 30 successive measurements during 30 min. All these results demonstrated potential utility of the system for carbon dioxide sensing.     

Novel shooting method with simple control strategy for fiber lasers

A novel shooting method with excellent simple control strategy is developed for solving the failure to convergence of the traditional shooting methods themselves in fiber lasers model. Compared with the published literature, the novel shooting method provides a clear physical understanding method for getting the threshold pump power and the exact results with given random functions in Yb³⁺-doped fiber lasers and Er³⁺-doped fiber lasers. Then, the results in Er³⁺-doped fiber lasers and Yb³⁺-doped fiber lasers demonstrate that the solutions using the novel shooting method has high accuracy of 10⁻⁸ W with several iteration steps, which have extended the applicable range of the end-pumped power even lower than 1 mW pump power. Furthermore, compared with 1480 nm pump for the threshold and slope efficiencies of the Er³⁺-doped fiber lasers, 978 nm fiber lasers can extend wider scope of application and be pump source in the coming future. Finally, the lower threshold and higher slope efficiency at 975 nm than those of 910 nm pump in Yb³⁺-doped fiber lasers, 975 nm pump laser provides for broad band excellent cladding pump source.
