基于双芯光纤耦合器的梳状滤波器及其CO2激光调节

基于光纤耦合器的波长特性,分析了光纤耦合器作为梳状滤波器的光谱特性;将长度不同的双芯光纤(twin-core fiber,TCF)熔接在两根单模光纤(single mode fibors,SMF)之间,实验制得具有不同峰值波长间隔的基于双芯光纤耦合器的全光纤型梳状滤波器,其消光比可达25 dB. 首次使用CO₂激光对其进行光谱调节,调节导致光谱向长波方向漂移和消光比的变化. 这种调节是基于CO₂与光纤相互作用时的残余应力释放和熔融变形机理,使用氢载TCF可以在相同实验参数下得到更大的波长调节激光. 关键词： 双芯光纤耦合器 梳状滤波器 2激光')" href="#">CO₂激光 残余应力     

Experimental research of temperature sensor based on twin-core fiber

A low-cost, compact, and lossless temperature sensor based on a twin-core fiber (TCF) is demonstrated and manufactured by splicing two single-mode fibers to the ends of a TCF. The extinction ratio of the comb transmission spectrum is bigger than 15 dB, and the temperature sensitivity of the coupling angle is –0.02 rad/(°C· m) at–30–90°C and –0.032 rad/(°C· m) at 90–175°C. Finite element method is used to calculate the supermodes of the TCF, and the result agrees well with the experiment.     

基于阵列波导光栅的快速波长检测方法

针对现有波长检测技术的不足,提出一种采用阵列波导光栅（AWG）进行波长快速检测的方法,该方法利用AWG对波长信号进行空间分离,将波长信号转化为光场强度信号,利用传统的光场强度检测手段实现波长检测。给出了分析这种检测方法光学特性的数学模型,应用此模型,分析了AWG性能参数对波长检测性能的影响。分析表明：待检测的波长信号可以通过AWG相邻通道的功率比的对数值进行线性表达;减小AWG通道波长间隔或其半波全宽（3dB带宽）可以提高波长检测灵敏度;此方法对AWG的通道不平坦度不敏感;通过对AWG进行±0．1℃的温度控制,此方法可以达到±0．005nm的波长检测精度。     

Fabrication of Optical Fiber Bragg Grating Assisted Mismatched Coupler

We report the fabrication of an optical fiber Bragg grating assisted mismatched coupler based on the fused biconical tapered technology. The investigation of the spectrum properties shows that the coupler has a good filtering property. The drop filtering efficiency as much as 94.2% at 1553.5nm is achieved. Furthermore, using the fabricated coupler, a wavelength de-multiplexing transmission experiment is carried out in a 10Gbps system with NRZ optical signals. Experimental results show that the coupler basically realizes the function of wavelength de-multiplexing.
