高斯脉冲在光纤中传输的光纤光栅色散补偿研究

高斯脉冲在光纤中传输一段距离后，啁啾系数和脉冲宽度均要发生变化，不同啁啾系数和脉冲宽度的高斯脉冲经过啁啾光纤光栅反射后的脉宽压缩特性也不同。本文介绍了啁啾高斯脉冲在光纤中的传输特性以及啁啾高斯脉冲经啁啾光纤光栅反射后的传输特性。理论分析和实验均表明，使用啁啾光纤光栅实现长距离色散补偿时，最佳色散补偿长度与光栅位置有关。     

基于啁啾补偿技术的自相似脉冲压缩光纤设计

为了获得高功率优质的超短脉冲光源,利用色散渐增光纤产生的强线性啁啾对自相似脉冲进行了啁啾补偿光纤设计。首先利用色散补偿光纤得到了半峰全宽为52.6fs、峰值功率为684.5W的超短脉冲输出。在此基础上研究了色散渐增的补偿光纤设计,讨论了色散线性渐增光纤和色散指数渐增光纤对自相似脉冲的压缩影响。当色散渐增系数取1km-1,5km-1,10km-1时,通过数值仿真得出了最短的输出脉宽、峰值功率以及所需的补偿光纤长度。结果表明,色散渐增光纤能缩短补偿光纤的长度,减小脉冲压缩时产生的损耗,得到半峰全宽为61.8fs和64.4fs的高功率超短脉冲输出。这一结果对自相似脉冲压缩光纤的设计是有帮助的。     

基于啁啾FBG的三角形光脉冲发生器的优化设计

提出了利用啁啾光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)和马赫增德尔调制器产生三角形光脉冲的优化方案.方案采用FBG模拟单模光纤的色散特性,结合光载波抑制调制产生了三角形光脉冲, 并通过仿真分析,选择FBG的长度、调制深度、适当的折射率切趾函数对三角形光脉冲的线性特征进行了优化.仿真结果表明,在同一啁啾系数下,产生的三角形光脉冲的失真程度随啁啾光纤光栅的调制深度增大而增大,光栅长度、折射率切趾函数对三角形光脉冲的影响也比较明显.与现有系统相比,由于将FBG引入系统,省去长距离的光纤,优化方案系统结构更为简单,三角形光脉冲线性特征更好.     

采用啁啾光纤光栅补偿带啁啾的超高斯脉冲在光纤中传输的色散

利用啁啾光纤光栅,对带啁啾的超高斯脉冲的色散补偿特性进行了理论分析和数值模拟。数值模拟结果表明,光脉冲在普通单模光纤中传输了一定距离后,由于色散的作用,脉冲发生展宽,超高斯脉冲比高斯脉冲展得更宽。若初始脉冲含有啁啾,展宽后的脉冲还出现小调制。用啁啾光纤光栅进行色散补偿后,高斯型脉冲能够较好的恢复初始脉冲形状,带啁啾的超高斯脉冲的脉宽可恢复到接近初始脉冲的宽度,但脉冲形状发生了畸变,并出现了旁瓣,脉冲峰值功率与超高斯脉冲阶数和啁啾参数有关。

一种新型的全光纤超短光脉冲压缩方案

文章提出了一种基于正常色散递减光纤（ND—DDF）、单模光纤（SMF）和非线性环镜（NOLM）组成的全光纤超短脉冲压缩方案。利用光脉冲在正常色散区的色散递减光纤（ND-DDF）中传输时,在脉冲的中心部分将带上较大线性正啁啾（和普通光纤相比）,当脉冲在SMF中传输时色散致啁啾对其进行补偿从而有一个脉冲压缩的过程,最后利用NOLM对压缩后的脉冲进行进一步的压缩和消基座处理。数值模拟的结果表明：半峰全宽为10ps、能量为74pJ的高斯脉冲经过1km的DDF、79m的SMF和20m的NOLM后,可以获得峰值功率为210W,半峰全宽为120fs且几乎无基座的超短脉冲。     

10 GHz超低抖动光短脉冲源

报道了一种新型的重复频率为10 GHz,脉宽为5.3 ps,抖动为184 fs的高稳定光短脉冲源.将大信号调制半导体激光器产生的10 GHz光脉冲,先送入LiNbO3电光相位调制器增强负啁啾,并使光谱进一步展宽,再通过色散补偿光纤(DCF)压缩脉冲啁啾,可得到光短脉冲.由于大信号调制激光器输出的光脉冲本身具有负啁啾,而通过相位调制器的光脉冲在不同的时间间隔内既有正啁啾也有负啁啾,通过适当调整进入相位调制器的光脉冲时延,使其通过相位调制器后累加产生更大的负啁啾,再利用正色散光纤压缩啁啾,从而得到低抖动且无基座的光短脉冲.     

色散渐减光纤环形镜的一种改进方法

提出了一种由常规光纤和色散渐减光纤构成的新的非线性光纤环形镜(NOLM)。研究了该结构的动力学特性，并与色散渐减光纤(DDF)构成的环形镜进行了比较。数值结果表明，该类型光纤环形镜能产生无基座高品质超短光脉冲，压缩脉冲的啁啾小，在脉冲中心处呈线性，而且获得的脉冲能在无损耗的常规光纤中长距离稳定传输。压缩脉冲的压缩因子和基座能量与输入脉冲的初始脉宽和峰值功率有关，当输入脉冲的宽度增加时，所需的光纤长度变长，压缩因子和基座能量有所下降；当输入功率增加时，所需光纤长度变短，压缩因子和基座能量增加。研究结果还显示，在较大的输入脉冲峰值功率范围内，当脉冲获得最佳压缩时，与色散渐减光纤环形镜相比，新的光纤环形镜所用光纤长度短，压缩因子高。

文章从描述皮秒光脉冲在色散缓变光纤（FSDD）中所满足的非线性Schroedinger(NLS)方程出发，数值模拟了高阶皮秒光孤子在不同的FSDD中的孤子效应压缩，并讨论了初始啁啾对其的影响，结果表明，利用FSDD和孤子效应压缩来压缩带有初始啁啾的高阶皮秒光孤子，可以得到更高的压缩比和品质因子，压缩后的脉冲的峰值功率明显提高，而且脉冲被压缩到最窄所需的光纤长度也大大缩短，最后讨论了初始脉宽的影响。     

增益开关半导体激光器的三级脉冲整形方案

增益开关半导体激光器产生的光脉冲宽度往往较宽,且具有一定大小的脉冲基座。为了提高增益开关半导体激光器的脉冲质量,提出了一种三级脉冲整形方案。首先,利用色散补偿光纤将增益开关半导体激光器输出的光脉冲宽度从39.381 ps压缩到26.681 ps,随后利用掺铒光纤放大器和色散位移光纤的高阶孤子效应进一步将光脉冲的宽度压缩到20.916 ps,最后利用半导体光放大器的自相位调制效应区分开脉冲基座与脉冲中心的光谱,并利用光滤波器滤除脉冲基座对应的光谱部分,从而消减脉冲基座,并将脉冲宽度压缩到18.497 ps。实验结果表明,该三级脉冲整形方案可以有效地压缩脉冲宽度以及减小脉冲基座,从而提高增益开关半导体激光器输出光脉冲的质量。

Photonic Generation of Chirped Microwave Pulses Using Superimposed Chirped Fiber Bragg Gratings

A novel approach to generating linearly chirped microwave pulses in the optical domain based on spectral shaping and linear frequency-to-time mapping is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. In the proposed system, the spectrum of a femtosecond pulse generated by a mode-locked fiber laser is spectrum-shaped by an optical filter that consists of two superimposed chirped fiber Bragg gratings (SI-CFBGs) with different chirp rates. The SI-CFBGs form a Fabry-Perot cavity with a cavity length linearly dependent on the resonance wavelength, thus a spectral response with an increased or decreased free spectral range is generated. A chirped microwave pulse with the pulse shape identical to the shaped spectrum is obtained at the output of a high-speed photodetector thanks to the frequency-to-time mapping in a dispersive device. The proposed technique is experimentally demonstrated, a linearly chirped microwave pulse with a central frequency of 15 GHz and a chirp rate of 0.0217 GHz/ps is experimentally generated.     

Optical Generation of Binary Phase-Coded Direct-Sequence UWB Signals Using a Multichannel Chirped Fiber Bragg Grating

A novel technique to generate binary phase-coded, direct-sequence ultra-wideband (DS-UWB) signals in the optical domain is proposed and demonstrated. In the proposed system, the wavelengths from a laser array are modulated by a Gaussian pulse, which is sent to a multichannel optical frequency discriminator, to generate a UWB monocycle or doublet pulse sequence with a predetermined phase-code pattern. By tuning the wavelengths of the laser array, or by tuning the states of polarization of the wavelengths, the generated pulse shape and code pattern can be changed. The key device in the system is the multichannel dispersive chirped fiber Bragg grating (FBG), which functions, in combination with a dispersive fiber, as a multichannel frequency discriminator with a step-increased group-delay response, to ensure the generated UWB sequence to have uniform time spacing among the chips and to compensate for the fiber-induced chromatic dispersion. The proposed scheme is experimentally demonstrated. A multichannel chirped FBG is designed and fabricated. Binary phase-coded DS-UWB signals with different code patterns are experimentally generated.

Chirped RF Pulse Generation Based on Optical Spectral Shaping and Wavelength-to-Time Mapping Using a Nonlinearly Chirped Fiber Bragg Grating

Chirped radio-frequency (RF) pulse generation based on optical spectral shaping and nonlinear wavelength-to-time mapping in a nonlinearly chirped fiber Bragg grating (NLCFBG) is investigated. In the proposed approach, the spectrum of a femtosecond pulse generated by a mode-locked fiber laser is shaped by an optical filter that has a sinusoidal frequency response. The spectrum-shaped optical pulse is sent to the NLCFBG, to implement nonlinear wavelength-to-time mapping. A chirped electrical pulse with the central frequency and chirp rate determined respectively by the first- and second-order dispersions of the NLCFBG is then obtained at the output of a high-speed photodetector. An approximate model that describes the chirped RF pulse generation is derived, which is verified by numerical simulations. Chirped pulse generation with a pulse compression ratio as high as 450 is demonstrated. The key device in the chirped RF pulse generation system is the NLCFBG, which is investigated in detail with an emphasis on the influence of its group delay ripples on the performance of the pulse generation system. Techniques to design and fabricate the NLCFBG are also discussed. The proposed approach provides a potential solution for the generation of chirped RF pulse with a high central frequency and large chirp rate for applications in pulse compression radar systems.

An Approach to Photonic Generation of High-Frequency Phase-Coded RF Pulses

A novel method to generate high-frequency phase-coded RF pulses using all-fiber components is proposed. The system consists of a mode-locked fiber laser (MLFL), a dispersive element, an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer (UMZI), an optical phase modulator (PM), and a photodetector (PD). The PM is incorporated in one arm of the UMZI. In the system, an ultrashort pulse generated by the MLFL is broadened and chirped after passing through the dispersive element, which is then sent to the UMZI, to get two time-delayed chirped pulses. By beating the time-delayed chirped pulses at the PD, an RF pulse with its frequency dependent on the time delay difference is obtained. The generated RF pulse can be phase coded if an encoding signal is applied to the PM. A theoretical model is presented which is verified by experiments. The generation of RF pulses with binary phase coding is also experimented
