Six-bit all-optical quantization using photonic crystal fiber with soliton self-frequency shift and pre-chirp spectral compression techniques

In this paper,we propose an optical quantization scheme for all-optical analog-to-digital conversion that facilitates photonics integration.A segment of 10-m photonic crystal fiber with a high nonlinear coefficient of 62.8 W 1/km is utilized to realize large scale soliton self-frequency shift relevant to the power of the sampled optical signal.Furthermore,a 100-m dispersion-increasing fiber is used as the spectral compression module for further resolution enhancement.Simulation results show that 317-nm maximum wavelength shift is realized with 1550-nm initial wavelength and 6-bit quantization resolution is obtained with a subsequent spectral compression process.     

Self-similar propagation region in passive optical fibers based on low-order approximation

For the first time, we numerically demonstrate that similaritons in passive fibers can only propagate with parabolic profile without oscillations in a limited self-similar propagation region when low-order approximation is applied. Dispersion-decreasing fiber (DDF) and nonlinearity increasing fiber (NIF) are used here to generate self-similar pulse in different passive ways. Moreover, we put forward several self-similar features to judge effective similariton propagation and determine self-similar region by numerical simulations and waveform observation. Finally we compare in DDF and NIF the dependence of these regions on incident pulse and fiber parameters in order to obtain parabolic similariton more effectively and steadily. These results extend the low-order propagation properties in passive fibers and are beneficial for the generation of high-quality similariton pulse by parameter selection in experimental studies and practical applications.

Numerical analysis of Ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber lasers based on the temperature-dependent rate equation

The effects of temperature on the output power and optimal conditions of Ytterbium-doped double-cladding fiber lasers (YDDFLs) are discussed. Temperature-dependent rate equations for YDDFLs based on Boltzmann distribution are built in two-end pump model. The results show that the output power and the slope efficiency decrease with the increase of temperature. The increase of pump power results in that the effect of the temperature on the output performance increases, and the fiber length is a factor that the effect of the temperature depends on really. Moreover we combine the heat distribution formula with the rate equations and compare the numerical results considering with that not considering the temperature-dependence inside laser cavity, the effect of temperature can be ignored only when the pump power is lower, and the optimal fiber length becomes longer when considering the temperature-dependence.
