Intermediate Self-similar Solutions of the Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation with an Arbitrary Longitudinal Gain Profile

We study pulse propagation in a normal-dispersion optical fibre amplifier with an arbitrary longitudinal gain profile by self-similarity techniques. We show the functional form of the development of low-amplitude wings on the parabolic pulse, which are associated with the evolution of an arbitrary input pulse to the asymptotic parabolic pulse solution. It is found that for the increasing gain the amplifier output corresponding to the input Gaussian pulse converges to the asymptotic parabolic pulse solution more quickly than the output obtained with the input hyperbolic secant pulse, whereas for the decreasing gain the input pulse profiles have nearly no effect on the speed of convergence to the parabolic pulse solution. These theoretical results are confirmed by numerical simulations.

在正色散掺铒光纤激光器中,利用非线性偏振旋转技术实现自启动锁模,得到了具有极大光谱宽度的高能量、无波分裂耗散型脉冲.该耗散型脉冲的形成是腔内增益、损耗、非线性偏振旋转、正色散和其他非线性效应等共同作用的结果,其形成机理与传统的负色散激光器完全不同.当抽运功率为500mW时,该类型脉冲的光谱覆盖了1530—1660nm范围,半高全宽光谱宽度可达42nm以上.脉冲具有极大的正啁啾,其时间带宽积为483,而单脉冲总能量最大可达34.4nJ.     

Grey screening-photovoltaic soliton-induced waveguides

This paper shows that waveguides induced by grey screening-photovoltaic solitons are always single mode for all intensity ratios, which are the ratio between the peak intensity of the soliton and the dark irradiance. It finds that the confined energy near the centre of the grey soliton and the propagation constant of the guided mode increase monotonically with increasing intensity ratio. On the other hand, when the soliton greyness increases, the confined energy near the centre of the grey soliton and the propagation constant of the guided mode reduce monotonically. When the bulk photovoltaic effect is neglected for short circuits, these waveguides become waveguides induced by grey screening solitons. When the external bias field is absent, these waveguides become waveguides induced by grey photovoltaic solitons.[第一段]     

Optimal Bandwidth for Distributed Multi-Pump Raman Amplifier Based on Hybrid Genetic Algorithm

Based on a hybrid genetic algorithm, the bandwidth for distributed multi-pump Raman amplifier (DMRA) is optimized. Optimal results show that signal bandwidth △γ can be evidently broadened by means of increasing the number of pumps, △γ decreases with the increase of Raman gain and with the improvement of flatness property, and the hybrid erbium-doped fibre amplifier and DMRA can availably overcome the weakness of pure DMRA.     

波长重用-扩大基于单纤连接节点的WDM星形单跳网容量

针对可利用的有限信道波长数对基于单纤连接节点的WDM星形单跳网容量限制问题,本文提出了一种有效的解决方案-波长重用.根据该方案,在信道波长数一定的条件下,至少可使网络所支持的节点数-网络容量扩大一倍;在网络节点数不变时,则可大大减少网络节点的排队时延,缓和网络中各通信节点对数据信道波长使用权的竞争矛盾,使网络吞吐量增加1～3倍,有效地改善网络性能.本文首先论述了该基于单纤连接节点的波长重用WDM星形单跳网结构,接着分析了网络的波长重用特性,进而对所要求的光放大器增益和输出功率进行了计算;最后计算了网络的最大节点数和最大信道波长数.     

高功率超宽带变压器油透镜天线设计与仿真

将TEM喇叭天线密封进填充变压器油的尼龙天线罩中,只要合理设计尼龙天线罩外形,使变压器油形成聚焦透镜,不仅能提高天线的功率容量,还能改善其辐射特性。基于变压器油的缩波效应和椭球的几何性质,借助几何光学理论,设计了一款具有聚焦能力的椭球变压器油透镜。变压器油的缩波效应能够增大TEM喇叭天线电尺寸,使TEM喇叭天线的辐射特性得到初步改善,透镜的聚焦能力使天线的定向性得到进一步改善。为了验证理论分析的正确性,另外设计了一款不具有聚焦能力的球状变压器油透镜作为参照,两款透镜天线仿真结果与理论分析吻合。与大气中的TEM喇叭天线相比,椭球变压器油透镜使TEM喇叭天线主波束变窄,远场电压峰峰值提高56.97%,阻抗带宽低频端从0.28GHz扩展到0.2GHz,功率容量达到18.43GW。     

Mode field diameter and nonlinear properties of air-core nanowires

Exact solutions of Maxwell's equations describing the lightwave through 3-layer-structured cylindrical waveguide are obtained and the mode field diameter and nonlinear coefficient of air-core nanowires (ACNWs) are numerically calculated. The simulation results show that ACNWs offer some unique optical properties, such as tight field confining ability and extremely high nonlinearity. At a certain wavelength and air core radius, we optimize the waveguide design to maximize the nonlinear coefficient and minimize the mode field diameter. Our results show that the ACNWs may be powerful potential tools for novel micro-photonic devices in the near future.     

Optimization and Comparison for Different Raman Amplifier Configurations

Gain spectra and corresponding optical signM-to-noise ratio (OSNR) for bi-directionM multi-pump Raman amplifiers are optimized and compared. Numerical results exhibit that, for optimizing hi-directional multi-pump configurations, there are multiple global maxima for signal gain spectra, and different hi-directional pump cases have different gain ripple and noise performance. Bi-directionally pumping schemes with suitable pump spectra can obviously decrease the gain ripple and equalize the OSNR tilt in comparison with pure backward pumping schemes.     

Optimal Design of Dual-Pump Fibre-Optical Parametric Amplifiers with Dispersion Fluctuations Based on Hybrid Genetic Algorithm

Solutions of dual-pump fibre-optical parametric amplifiers (DP-FOPAs) with dispersion fluctuations are derived by using a matrix operator. Based on these solutions and a hybrid genetic algorithm, we have optimized threesection DP-FOPAs to increase the signal band and improve the gain uniformity. The optimizations demonstrate that when dispersion fluctuations are taken into account, the 44-nm signal band with the 0.37-dB ripple and over 14.8-dB gain can be obtained from the three-section DP-FOPA, instead of the lowest gain of -13dB with the ripple of more than 15dB from the single-section DP-FOPA.
