Spatially Inhomogeneous Gain Modification in Photonic Crystals

The electric and magnetic energy distributions in photonic crystals （PC） are calculated by using the plane wave expansion （PWE） method. Even though the total electric and magnetic energy in each unit cell of photonic crystals are equal to each other, the ratio of electric and magnetic energy densities varies depending on the local position. Based on Fermi＇s golden rule, the optical gain is analysed in the full quantum framework that takes the nonuniform energy density ratio into account. This nonuniform energy density ratio in photonic crystals, defined in an equal form as gain modification factor, leads to spatially inhomogeneous modification of optical gain. Results reported in the paper provide a new perspective for analysing gain characteristics, as well as the lasing properties, in photonic crystals.

Low pump power co-fiber remotely pumped EDFA used in DWDM systems with ultra-long fiber span

Extending span distance is an important way to reducethe cost of long-haul dense wavelength division multi-plexing (DWDM) systems. In traditional DWDM sys-tems based on erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs),span distance is about 80—100 km. Quantum limitationin noise figure (NF) of EDFAs (3 dB) prevents furtherextension of span distance with acceptable costs on trans-mission distance. capacity, and performance. Distributedfiber Raman amplifiers (DFRAs) have been proven tohave better…     

Correlated Photon Pair Generation in Silicon Wire Waveguides at 1.5 μm

Correlated photon pairs at 1.5 μm are generated in a silicon wire waveguide （SWW） with a length of only 1.6 mm. Experimental results show that the single-side count rates on both sides increase quadratically with pump light, indicating that photons are generated from the spontaneous four-wave mixing （SFWM） processes. The quantum correlation property of the generated photons is demonstrated by the ratio between coincident and accidental coincident count rates. The highest ratio measured at room temperature is to be about 19, showing that generated photon pairs have strong quantum correlation property and low noise. What is more, the wavelength correlation property of the coincident count is also measured to demonstrate the correlated photon pair generation. The experimental results demonstrate that SWWs have great potential in on-chip integrated low-noise correlated photon pair sources at 1.5 μm.     

Design of Broadband Single Fundamental Mode Hollow Core Bragg Fibre

The condition of the single fundamental mode （HE11） transmission in hollow core Bragg fibres is investigated theoretically by the transfer matrix method. The influences of core size and cladding parameters on the single HE11 mode bandwidth are analysed, showing that the maximal bandwidth is more sensitive to the core size than the cladding. The numerical results show that sufficiently broad bandwidth of single HE11 mode transmission can be achieved by proper fibre design. A simple and fast method based on improved hollow metal waveguide model is proposed to optimize fibre structure parameters for the maximal single HE11 mode bandwidth.
