Fabrication and characterization of bandpass filters based onconcatenated chirped fiber gratings

Practical, low-loss (<2 dB), fiber Bragg grating single-passband transmission filters have been realized with >30 dB out-of-band rejection over ~25 mm spectral widths. The approach adopted is based on the concatenation of two or more tailored broadband chirped gratings fabricated with low short-wavelength loss to maximize the rejection and stopband width in a filter with ~1 nm passband. The effect of thermal aging for similar complex structures is considered in the context of three different fiber types: standard telecommunication, high germania (Ge)-doped and boron/germania (B/Ge)-codoped. It is shown that while hydrogenated B/Ge-codoped fiber exhibits excellent photosensitivity, the resulting decrease in guiding strength and thermal stability may make germania-doped fiber the more attractive choice     

Study on microwave photonic filters based on lasers and dispersive fiber

A general theoretical model for microwave photonic filters based on multi-wavelength light source and dispersive media is summarized and presented, and is applied to the analysis of double-laser-based microwave photonic notch filters’ performance. The different influences of the double-sideband(DSB) modulation and the single-sideband(SSB) modulation are demon- strated and explained theoretically. Furthermore, the impact of different factors, such as frequency spacing, 3dB bandwidth and the spectrum amplitude mismatch on the performance of the microwave photonic notch filters are also studied. The numerical simulation results are in good agreement with predictions, and could be beneficial for future optimization of microwave photonic filters.

Real-time optical spectrum analysis based on the time-space dualityin chirped fiber gratings

Based on time-space duality, we deduce a time-domain equivalent to the Fraunhofer (far-field) approximation in the problem of spatial diffraction. We can use this equivalence to carry out a real-time optical spectrum analysis, which is shown to be realizable by using, as the dispersive media, filtering devices based on chirped distributed resonant coupling. In particular, we present the design of linearly chirped fiber gratings (reflection configurations) and linearly chirped intermodal couplers (transmission configurations) to work as real-time spectrum analyzers. The proposed systems are shown to work properly by means of simulation tools. Furthermore, we use joint time-frequency signal representations to get a better understanding of the physical processes that determine the behavior of these systems. In this way, we demonstrate that the propagation of a given signal through a chirped fiber grating (or a chirped intermodal coupler), under the temporal Fraunhofer conditions, translates into a temporal separation of the spectral components of the signal. The results of our study indicate potential important applications based on this effect

High-performance all-fiber Fabry-Perot filters with superimposed chirped Bragg gratings

The performance of large-band Fabry-Perot (FP) filters is investigated through numerical simulations and experimental realization. The limitations of the filters are studied theoretically to determine the impact of the chirped fiber Bragg grating (FBG) imperfections on spectral variations of the free spectral range (FSR), finesse, transmission loss, and polarization dependent loss (PDL). All-fiber FP devices are realized experimentally with finesse reaching 240 and covering a spectral band of 26 nm. For finesse up to 80, the filters present acceptable performance in terms of spectral variations of FSR (/spl plusmn/3%), finesse, attenuation (/spl plusmn/0.5 dB), PDL (<0.2 dB), and insertion loss (<3 dB).

Tunable bandpass microwave filters based on defect commandable photonic bandgap waveguides

A new type of tunable filter based on a commandable defect in the bandgap of a periodic CPW structure is proposed. The defect level is tuned either mechanically by adding a covering slab over the device or electrically by polarising diodes located at the defect. The validity of this concept is experimentally demonstrated at 4 GHz. This kind of filter is well suited for applications in the 10 to 60 GHz frequency range.     

Tunable microwave photonic filter based on a fiber ring and erbium-doped fiber amplifier

The tunable microwave photonic filter based on a fiber ring and erbium-doped fiber amplifier （EDFA） was proposed. By introducing a section of erbium-doped fiber （EDF） into the fiber ring, the loss of the signal can be compensated by the EDFA gain through adjusting the pump power. This can largely increase the number of the effective sampling taps, and then improve the performance of the microwave photonic filter notably. When the pump power was set to be 42.7 roW, a microwave bandpass filter with the 3-dB bandwidth of 0.15 MHz, the Q factor up to 100 and extinction ratio up to 20 dB was achieved. By employing a tunable optical delay line in the above fiber ring, a tunable microwave photonic filter has been realized through tuning the length of the optical delay line. The proposed tunable microwave photonic filter can fred great applications in microwave signal processing and ROF system.     

Optimization of apodized linearly chirped fiber gratings foroptical communications

The dispersion characteristics of apodized, linearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings and their potential as dispersion compensators have been studied systematically. It is shown that the positive hyperbolic-tangent profile results in an overall superior performance, as it provides highly linearized time-delay characteristics with minimum reduction in the linear dispersion. To compensate for the linear dispersion of 100 km of standard telecom fiber over certain bandwidth (in nanometers), the required grating length is 19.24 cm/nm

Design of chirped fiber gratings for optical beamforming networks

The properties of the linear chirped fiber grating (CFG) which is used in the true time delay unit of the optical beamforming networks (OBFNs) are studied intensively through theoretical analyses and numerical calculations. It is concluded that the dispersion of the CFG is equal to 1/(3Gc), where G is the chirp coefficient of CFG and c is the light speed. Based on this relationship, a simplified designing process of a CFG which satisfies the requirements of the OBFN is given. The simulation results are coincident with the theoretical conclusions.
