为了抑制输出信号功率的瞬态波动,提出了调理脉冲信号边沿变化方式的思想.通过有限差分法数值模拟四能级模型下的粒子数速率-光功率传输方程组,理论研究了宽带碲基掺铒光纤放大器(Erbium-doped Tellurite-based Fiber Amplifier,EDTFA)对于低频脉冲输入信号的瞬态响应.研究表明,相比具有阶跃上升沿的方波脉冲,选择一个合适的渐变上升沿脉冲信号可以有效地抑制EDTFA输出端信号功率的瞬时上冲幅度.在多信道系统中,选择渐变的信道功率上传和下载方式,可以延缓其余信道输出功率的瞬态响应速度,从而为后续增益箍制技术的实施提供了便利.     

Stable multiwavelength and passively mode-locked Yb-doped fiber laser based on nonlinear polarization rotation

Based on the nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) technique and a fiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI), a fiber laser which can work in two different modes has been demonstrated. In one mode, it works as a continuous wave (CW) multiwavelength laser, and stable dual-, triple- and tetra-wavelength lasing with the wavelength spacing of 1.1 nm are obtained. In the other mode, it works as a passively mode-locked fiber laser, and the generated pulses have a repetition rate of 10.6 MHz, an FWHM width of 800 ps and the largest energy of 1 nJ. The multi-functional property makes this fiber laser a very convenient, cost effective and multi-purpose laser source.

基于多级微反射镜的时空联合调制傅里叶变换成像光谱仪:原理及数据处理

介绍了一种基于多级阶梯微反射镜的时空联合调制傅里叶变换成像光谱仪的原理及数据处理方法.仪器利用一块多级阶梯微反射镜取代传统迈克尔逊干涉仪中的动镜以实现静态干涉,通过摆镜扫描使目标物体成像在不同的子阶梯反射面上从而获得目标物体不同光程差的干涉信息.某一时刻,目标物体经摆镜与前置成像系统后在平面镜与多级阶梯微反射镜上形成两个一次像点,两个一次像点被平面镜和多级阶梯微反射镜反射之后经后置成像系统最终成像在探测器焦平面上.平面镜与多级阶梯微反射镜之间的高度差会使到达探测器的两束光的光程差不同,因此探测器焦平面上可以获得目标物体的二维空间信息及一维干涉信息.根据多级阶梯微反射镜参数及光学系统设计参数计算得到摆镜步进角度为0.095°.利用实验获得的三维数据立方体进行了图像拼接与光谱复原.针对子阶梯反射镜存在宽度差异的问题,提出了一种基于极坐标霍夫变换的图像分割方法.为缓解拼接全景图中的间断线效应,将图像变换到HSI颜色空间并插值拟合其亮度分量后再变换回原空间.对拼接后的干涉图像进行了降维、去直流、寻址、切趾、相位校正、傅里叶变换及光谱分辨率增强等处理,完成了光谱复原工作.复原光谱分辨率为194 cm-1,优于设计指标(250 cm-1).     

Stochastic phenomena in a fiber Raman amplifier

The interplay of such cornerstones of modern nonlinear fiber optics as a nonlinearity, stochasticity and polarization leads to variety of the noise induced instabilities including polarization attraction and escape phenomena harnessing of which is a key to unlocking the fiber optic systems specifications required in high resolution spectroscopy, metrology, biomedicine and telecommunications. Here, by using direct stochastic modeling, the mapping of interplay of the Raman scattering‐based nonlinearity, the random birefringence of a fiber, and the pump‐to‐signal intensity noise transfer has been done in terms of the fiber Raman amplifier parameters, namely polarization mode dispersion, the relative intensity noise of the pump laser, fiber length, and the signal power. The obtained results reveal conditions for emergence of the random birefringence‐induced resonance‐like enhancement of the gain fluctuations (stochastic anti‐resonance) accompanied by pulse broadening and rare events in the form of low power output signals having probability heavily deviated from the Gaussian distribution.

     

A three‐crystal spectrometer for high‐energy resolution fluorescence‐detected X‐ray absorption spectroscopy and X‐ray emission spectroscopy at SSRF

A Johann‐type spectrometer for the study of high‐energy resolution fluorescence‐detected X‐ray absorption spectroscopy, X‐ray emission spectroscopy and resonant inelastic X‐ray scattering has been developed at BL14W1 X‐ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy beamline of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The spectrometer consists of three crystal analyzers mounted on a vertical motion stage. The instrument is scanned vertically and covers the Bragg angle range of 71.5–88°. The energy resolution of the spectrometer ranges from sub‐eV to a few eV. The spectrometer has a solid angle of about 1.87 × 0^?3 of 4π sr, and the overall photons acquired by the detector could be 10⁵ counts per second for the standard sample. The performances of the spectrometer are illustrated by the three experiments that are difficult to perform with the conventional absorption or emission spectroscopy.

Improvement of the dynamic range of a fiber specklegram sensor based on volume speckle recording in photorefractive materials

In this work, the improvement of the dynamic range of a micro displacement sensor based on fiber specklegrams holographically stored in a photorefractive BSO (Bi₁₂SiO₂₀) crystal is reported. In our experimental setup, a plastic optical fiber (POF) was used to generate a subjective speckle pattern that was recorded in the crystal using a two-wave mixing arrangement. The speckle size was controlled by modifying the diameter of a pupil aperture adjacent to a lens producing the image of the speckle. Fringe patterns were obtained at the output of the system by producing micro displacements of the fiber output end. An increase in the visibility of the fringe patterns was appreciated when the pupil aperture diameter decreased even without controlling the average modulation of the intensity of the light pattern, i.e. when the speckle length increased and the average light modulation simultaneously decreased. This behavior allowed recovering the autocorrelation functions of fringe patterns associated with displacements that initially led to decorrelation, and therefore, significantly to improve the dynamic range of the metrological system. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report about the influence of speckle size on the dynamic range of fiber specklegrams sensors recorded on photorefractive materials.
