光纤中非线性参量过程

在受激散射过程中,光纤作为非线性介质,通过分子振动或声子的参与而起主动作用.然而在其它许多非线性现象中,光纤仅起被动作用,几个光波之间通过束缚电子的非线性响应产生相互作用。因为这些过程由光对介质参量(如折射率)感应调制所致,所以人们把它们统称为参量过程.这类过程包括谐波产生、四波混频、参量放大等非线性现象。本文§1节讨论四波混频的起因,§2节讨论四波混频理论,重点在参量增益。§3节介绍相位匹配技术和实验结果。§4节讨论参量放大及其应用。最后,§5节集中研究和频以及谐波的产生,并着重讨论了光纤中的二次谐波产生.当光纤以特定方式预置时,出现了出乎意外高的二次谐波转换效率。

Wavelength Conversion Technologies

This paper reports a review of the different technologies used for wavelength conversion in wavelength-division multiplexed networks. The strengths and the weaknesses of the competing technologies, including optoelectronic wavelength conversion, four-wave mixing, difference frequency generation, cross-gain and cross-phase modulation in semiconductor optical amplifiers, are stressed with regard to conversion speed, transparency and regeneration of the converted signal.     

Optical phase conjugation and nonlinear optical bandpass filtercharacteristics in CdSSe microcrystallite-doped glass

Experimental measurements of the backward CW four-wave mixing response in semiconductor-doped glass in a regime important to applications are described. In particular, it is shown that lowering the operating temperature to 125 K yields a χ³≈2×10 ^-4 ESU. Aberration correction through optical phase conjugation is demonstrated with a phase conjugate reflectivity of 0.3% along with a wide-angle field-of-view response. In addition, the nearly-degenerate four-wave mixing response of importance to tunable bandpass optical filters is reported     

Transmission limitations due to fiber nonlinearities in optical FDMsystems

Transmission limitations due to stimulated Brillouin scattering and four-wave mixing processes are investigated for optical frequency division multiplexing (FDM) systems. The applicability of the dispersion-shifted (DS) and nondispersion-shifted (NDS) fibers is discussed, taking account of channel frequency separation, total channel numbers, input signal power, transmission length, and receiver sensitivity degradation. Experimental results on Brillouin gain spectra and the wave generation efficiency in four-wave mixing processes are also presented to discuss the applicability of the two types of single-node fiber. It was found that NDS fibers operated at a wavelength of 1550 nm can be widely deployed in multichannel systems both for the long-haul and information distribution transmissions, if the signal waveform distortion due to fiber chromatic dispersion is precluded. The delay equalizer will be useful for a high-speed system employing bit rates over 10 Gb/s and repeaterless spans over 300 km. For such an application, DS fiber is preferable. Concerning information distribution network applications, the NDS fiber should be more attractive as a transmission medium for FDM system applications     

Influence of the Stimulated Raman Scattering on the Four-Wave Mixing Process in Birefringent Fibers

The influence of the stimulated Raman scattering in the four-wave mixing process in high birefringent fibers is theoretically analyzed. We consider the dual pump configuration in both co-polarized and orthogonal polarization schemes and treat simultaneously the stimulated Raman scattering and the four-wave mixing processes. The obtained results are valid even when the shift between the pumps and signal lies inside the Raman band. Results show that when the phase-matching condition is achieved the generation of the idler wave is mostly dependent on the real part of the fiber nonlinear response function, whereas the amplification of the signal wave is mostly dependent on the imaginary part. Results also show that when the phase-matching condition is satisfied the optical power evolution of the signal and idler waves for small frequency detunings are mostly described by the anisotropic Raman response of the fiber, whereas for high frequency detunings the isotropic response dominates. Our analysis also shows that the stimulated Raman scattering can increase the efficiency of the four-wave mixing process, for certain frequency detunings.     

20-GHz-to-1-THz Repetition Rate Pulse Sources Based on Multiple Four-Wave Mixing in Optical Fibers

In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally study the generation of very high-repetition-rate pulse sources based on multiple four-wave mixing in optical fibers. More precisely, we described the generation of nearly transform-limited pulses at repetition rates of 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640 GHz, and 1 THz with a wavelength tunability close to 20 nm around 1555nm. In particular, frequency resolved optical gating analyses show that 170-fs transform-limited pulses have been generated at 1 THz.     

Investigation of nonlinear effects in few-mode fibers

In this work, nonlinear optical effects are exploited for future implementations of space-division multiplexing fiber systems. The paper first presents the fundamentals of intermodal nonlinear phenomena over few-mode fibers, such as cross-phase modulation, four-wave mixing (FWM), stimulated Brillouin scattering and stimulated Raman scattering. Second, the potential applications of few-mode nonlinear effects are discussed for sensing and optical signal processing. We demonstrated how fiber mode symmetries and linear mode coupling affect intermodal power transfer and spectral broadening. Lastly, the paper proposes a ultrafast all-optical simultaneous wavelength and mode conversion scheme based on intermodal FWM, with the capability of switching state of polarization and mode degeneracy orientation. Under this scheme, cross-polarization modulation and cross-mode modulation can be achieved.     

Effects of multiple wave mixing and gain saturation in an idealtraveling wave semiconductor laser amplifier

Nonlinear distortions induced by four-wave mixing and gain saturation in a semiconductor laser amplifier can affect the overall performance of lightwave systems using such devices. A model which includes both types of distortion in a three-channel optical transmission system is presented. Large-signal analysis is used to calculate distortion in amplifiers operating near saturation. The technique provides more realistic predictions than the small-signal rate equation analysis used in previous theoretical studies of four-wave mixing in optical amplifiers
