Compact Design of an Electrically Tunable and Rotatable Polarizer Based on a Liquid Crystal Photonic Bandgap Fiber

In this letter, a compact electrically controlled broadband liquid crystal (LC) photonic bandgap fiber polarizer is designed and fabricated. A good fiber coupling quality between two single-mode fibers and one 10-mm-long LC-filled photonic crystal fiber is obtained and protected by using SU-8 fiber fixing structures during the device assembly. The total insertion loss of this all-in-fiber device is 2.7 dB. An electrically tunable polarization extinction ratio of 21.3 dB is achieved with 45deg rotatable transmission axis as well as switched on and off in the wavelength range of 1300-1600 nm.

On all paths, at least 0 dB insertion loss (fiber to-fiber gain up to 2.8 dB) as well as a low polarization sensitivity (below 1.0 dB) were demonstrated. This device can be used as the basic building block of bit-rate transparent switches for optical routing and broadcasting

Polarization-induced feedback effects in fiber Bragg grating-stabilized diode lasers

Enhanced performance in fiber Bragg grating-stabilized laser diode designs using polarization-maintaining fiber pigtails requires tight control of polarization extinction ratio. Polarization extinction ratio (PER) affects device power stability, photocurrent behavior, and spectral characteristics. In this paper, the impact of PER on the final device performance is quantified and significant performance improvement when PER is maintained at or above 20 dB is demonstrated.     

Fused taper infrared optical fiber couplers in chalcogenide glass

We have fabricated low loss, high coupling ratio bidirectional optical couplers for infrared light using multimode step-index chalcogenide fiber. Using a fusion technique similar to that commonly employed with silica fibers, we have found a temperature regime where fusion can occur while interdiffusion of the core and cladding materials will not. The resultant device has a roughly 3:1 coupling ratio, less than 0.3 dB of excess insertion loss, and preserves the guided modes of the fiber intact     

Performance comparison between DCF and RDF dispersion compensation in fiber optical CATV systems

An architecture of an externally modulated AM-VSB CATV 77-channel erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA)-repeated system which use the combination of a single-mode fiber (SMF) and reverse dispersion fiber (RDF) as a dispersion compensation device is proposed and demonstrated. Compared to the conventional externally modulated fiber optical CATV systems with or without a dispersion compensation fiber (DCF), excellent performance of composite second order (CSO) /spl ges/ 78 dB accompanied by satisfied carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) /spl ges/ 50 dB and composite triple beat (CTB) /spl ges/ 65 dB was obtained in the proposed system.     

Polarization-selective mode coupling in two-mode Hi-Bi fibers

We propose and demonstrate a mode coupler which converts either of the LP₀₁ polarization states in a two-mode high-birefringence (Hi-Bi) fiber to the LP₁₁ mode with the same polarization. We use coupled-mode theory to develop design rules based on the polarization splitting of the beat length between the two lower-order modes. The device can be operated either as a narrow-band device in a region with large intermodal group delay difference or as a broadband device in a region with zero group delay difference. We use this novel device as a key component in a two-mode Hi-Bi fiber polarizer. In this configuration either of the polarization eigenstates can be selected and transmitted with an adjustable extinction ratio which can be as large as 30 dB. The coupling loss in the transmitted state of polarization can be less than 0.2 dB. In the broadband polarizer we demonstrate -20 dB extinction over 42 nm with a potential for considerable improvement. We also propose and experimentally investigate an increased differential group delay obtained by propagating one polarization state in the LP₁₁ mode instead of in the LP₀₁ mode. The largest differential group delay measured in this configuration is 14.5 ps/m which is seven times larger than the differential group delay between the polarization modes. We discuss several possible uses in fiber sensors and measure the transmission of a proposed two-coupler configuration

Chirped operation with 100-nm bandwidth has also been achieved, showing the possibility of a broad-band device.
