High-speed continuously tunable liquid crystal filter for WDMnetworks

We describe a high-speed wavelength tunable liquid crystal filter which can be utilized as the tuning element at the receiving end of wavelength division multiaccess (WDMA) optical networks. The filter uses chiral smectic A electroclinic liquid crystals as the active cavity material in a Fabry-Perot etalon in order to obtain a microsecond switching speed. Using the commercially available BDH764E liquid crystal material, we demonstrate a tunable optical filter both in a bulk Fabry-Perot and a fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) configuration. A bandwidth of about 0.7 mm and effective finesse of 70 were obtained in the FFP configuration. A FFP tuning range of 13 nm with a switching time of less than 10 μs were measured at the operating wavelength of 1.55 μm. A theoretical analysis of the expected filter performance in the FFP configuration is given. Diffraction in the Fabry-Perot cavity is identified as the dominant loss factor, resulting in reduced throughput and finesse broadening. It is calculated theoretically that an effective finesse of 130 and a throughput loss of 2.2 dB are achievable for a mirror finesse of 200 and a liquid crystal cavity thickness of 5 μm. A short waveguide piece is assumed to be included in the cavity. Other expected loss sources for the filter in the FFP configuration have been calculated, showing negligible effect on the filter performance

Mode stabilization method for superstructure-grating DBR lasers

A wavelength stabilization method for widely tunable superstructure-grating (SSG) distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser is described. The output characteristics under tuning are studied theoretically and experimentally. It is found that peak reflectivity states, in which the lasing mode is just aligned with the reflection peaks of both DBR's, are obtained at saddle points in the output characteristics while changing the two SSG-DBR currents. Based on these results, a method for the Bragg frequency control of the two SSG-DBRs is proposed. The feedback control circuit keeps the lasing mode at a peak reflectivity state, and it suppresses mode hopping. Additionally, the oscillation mode is locked to arbitrary reference wavelengths of an optical filter. Stabilization at 200 GHz (1.6 nm)-spaced 16 wavelengths was achieved within the wide tuning range of the SSG-DBR laser. Control was maintained under a laser temperature variation of ±5°C as a result of the Bragg frequency control of the two DBR's     

Widely tunable wavelength spacing dual-wavelength single longitudinal mode erbium doped fiber laser

A simple widely tunable wavelength spacing dual-wavelength single longitudinal mode (SLM) erbium doped fiber laser (EDFL) based on cascaded fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and birefringent fiber filter is proposed and demonstrated. Experimental results show that the lasing wavelength spacing is widely tunable in a range from 2 nm to 18 nm, which has potential to generate frequency tunable terahertz (THz) waves by beating the lasing dual-wavelength in a high speed photodetector. The birefringent fiber filter acts as an ultra-narrow bandpass filter and benefits the simultaneous oscillation of dual-wavelength in a single laser cavity. The output peak power of the lasing dual-wavelength is approximately equalized at room temperature, and a high optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is realized in the whole tuning range. The SLM operation of dual-wavelength fiber laser is verified by Fabry–Perot (F–P) scanning interferometer, and the clear eye diagram proves that the proposed fiber laser is effective in the application of fiber optic communication system.

Widely tunable chaotic fiber laser for WDM-PON detection

A widely tunable high precision chaotic fiber laser is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A tunable fiber Bragg grating （TFBG） filter is used as a tuning element to determine the turning range from 1533 nm to 1558 nm with a linewidth of 0.5 nm at any wavelength. The wide tuning range is capable of supporting 32 wavelength-division mul- tiplexing （WDM） channels with 100 GHz channel spacing. All single wavelengths are found to be chaotic with 10 GHz bandwidth. The full width at half maximum （FWHM） of the chaotic correlation curve of the different wave- lengths is on a picosecond time scale, thereby offering millimeter spatial resolution in WDM detection.

An adaptive wavelength tunable optical filter employing anangle-tuned interference filter and an intelligent digital controller

This paper describes an adaptive wavelength tunable optical filter, which is composed of an angle-tuned interference optical filter and an intelligent digital controller. The new angle-tuned interference filter consists of a dielectric interference optical filter and a piezoelectric angle-tuning mechanism. It achieves quick wavelength switching within 2.5 ms in a 30 nm tuning range and a sufficiently low crosstalk less than -30 dB. The intelligent digital controller has two functions: wavelength tracking and wavelength channel selection. Combining these technologies, we have developed a practical low-cost tunable filter suitable for a post-optical-amplifier filter in a high-sensitivity detection system and a channel selector in a WDM system that requires 10-100 ms channel selection time. With a wavelength tracking operation, we have confirmed -35 dBm high-sensitivity detection in 20 nm wavelength range in a 10 Gb/s system. We have also confirmed a wavelength channel selection operation within 18 ms in a three-channel wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) system whose channel spacing is 4.4 nm     

基于重构等效啁啾超结构光纤光栅的可调谐微波光子滤波器的仿真研究

Fault detection technique for wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network using chaotic fiber laser

We propose a fault localization method for wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON). A proof-of-concept experiment was demonstrated by utilizing the wavelength tunable chaotic laser generated from an erbium-doped fiber ring laser with a manual tunable fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) filter. The range of the chaotic lasing wavelength can cover the C-band. Basing on the TFBG filter, we can adjust the wavelength of the chaotic laser to match the WDM-PON channel with identical wavelength. We determined the fault location by calculating the cross-correlation between the reference and return signals. Analysis of the characteristics of the wavelength tunable chaotic laser showed that the breakpoint, the loose connector, and the mismatch connector could be precisely located. A dynamic range of approximately 23.8 dB and a spatial resolution of 4 cm, which was independent of the measuring range, were obtained.

Mirror-folded polarization-independent wavelength filter

A 1.55- mu m polarization-independent optical bandpass filter with a 3-dB bandwidth of 6 AA and a tuning range of at least 100 AA is demonstrated. The photonic circuit of the filter consists of a waveguide TE-TM mode splitter, two parallel electrooptic TE-to-TM, TM-to-TE mode converters as the wavelength selective element, and a reflective mirror at the far end of the crystal. The circuit can be viewed as a mirror-folded version of the polarization-independent filter. It is shown that by passing the light two times through the narrowband mode converters, the filter bandwidth can be reduced by about a factor of two compared to a conventional single-pass filter of the same length. A novel tunable mode converter structure is also demonstrated that allows coherent in-phase mode conversion during the two passes through the mirror-folded filter.<>
