Numerical analysis of stimulated inelastic scatterings in ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber amplifier with multi-ns-duration and multi-hundred-kW peak-power output

We investigate the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in an ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber amplifier that outputs optical pulses with multi-ns-duration and multi-hundred-kW peak-power. The ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber amplifier is simulated by a model which is composed of a set of propagation-rate equations. The simulated results show that SBS and SRS will deform the output signal pulse in both the time domain and the spectral domain, and degrade the performance of the ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber amplifier seriously. It is shown in our simulation that the troublesome SBS can be effectively suppressed by broadening the signal linewidth to a critical value of 0.07 nm in our calculation, and the effect of SRS can be suppressed using a large-mode-area fiber with proper length. The model and the simulated results are very useful for designing an ultra-high-power ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber amplifier.     

Numerical analysis of stimulated Brillouin scattering in high-power double-clad fiber lasers

A theoretical analysis of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in linear cavity Yb³⁺-doped double-clad fiber lasers is presented by solving the steady-state rate equations with the SBS. The effects of cavity length, fiber core diameter, input mirror reflectivity at Stokes wavelength, Yb³⁺ concentration and laser linewidth on the SBS are discussed. Numerical results show that the SBS threshold power can be improved by shortening the cavity length, using large mode area fiber, reducing the input mirror reflectivity at Stokes wavelength, lowering the Yb³⁺ concentration and broadening the laser linewidth, and the influence of the laser linewidth on the SBS threshold power is more noticeable than other system parameters.     

A novel block turbo code for high-speed long-haul DWDM optical communication systems

A novel super forward error correction (SFEC) coding scheme, based on the block turbo code (BTC) of Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocguenghem (BCH)(64,57)×BCH(64,57), in high-speed long-haul dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical communication systems is proposed. The simulation results and its analyses show that the net coding gain (NCG) of the novel SFEC code at iteration 6 is, respectively, 0.31 and 0.34 dB more than those of the BCH(3860, 3824)+BCH(2040, 1930) code and Reed–Solomon (RS)(255,239)+convolutional–self-orthogonal code (CSOC)(k₀/n₀=6/7, J=8) code in the Recommendation of ITU-T G.975.1 at iteration 3 for the bit error rate (BER) of 10⁻¹². The performance analyses for the novel SFEC code show that it has excellent advantages such as the shorter component code and rapid encoding/decoding speed; thus, both the complexity to implement its software/hardware and the delay time for its encoding/decoding can be greatly reduced. As a result, the novel SFEC coding scheme can better be applicable in high-speed long-haul DWDM optical communication systems. In addition, the design and implementation of the novel BTC are also analyzed and probed.     

A new method to eliminate the influence of the backward defect infection and the position-dependent of the coefficient on distributed Brillouin fiber sensor

Two theoretical problems associated with the measurement of temperature or strain from the normalized power of Brillouin signal in a distributed fiber sensor are studied. One problem is the position-dependent of the coefficient relating the Brillouin power to the local temperature or strain. The other problem is the backward infection of the defect (local temperature or strain change). These two problems will degrade the measurement accuracy of a distributed Brillouin fiber sensor by changing the distribution of pump power. To eliminate these two problems, new reference functions are proposed to normalize the Brillouin signal. Simulation results by using fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm show that these new reference functions can eliminate the influence of these two problems on distributed Brillouin fiber sensor.

Improved Adaptive Augmentation Control for a Flexible Launch Vehicle with Elastic Vibration

The continuous development of spacecraft with large flexible structures has resulted in an increase in the mass and aspect ratio of launch vehicles, while the wide application of lightweight materials in the aerospace field has increased the flexible modes of launch vehicles. In order to solve the problem of deviation from the nominal control or even destabilization of the system caused by uncertainties such as unknown or unmodelled dynamics, frequency perturbation of the flexible mode, changes in its own parameters, and external environmental disturbances during the flight of such large-scale flexible launch vehicles with simultaneous structural deformation, rigid-elastic coupling and multimodal vibrations, an improved adaptive augmentation control method based on model reference adaption, and spectral damping is proposed in this paper, including a basic PD controller, a reference model, and an adaptive gain adjustment based on spectral damping. The baseline PD controller was used for flight attitude control in the nominal state. In the non-nominal state, the spectral dampers in the adaptive gain adjustment law extracted and processed the high-frequency signal from the tracking error and control-command error between the reference model and the actual system to generate the adaptive gain. The adjustment gain was multiplied by the baseline controller gain to increase/decrease the overall gain of the system to improve the system’s performance and robust stability, so that the system had the ability to return to the nominal state when it was affected by various uncertainties and deviated from the nominal state, or even destabilized.
