包层抽运掺镱光纤激光器中受激拉曼散射和受激布里渊散射效应

高功率光纤激光器大多选用掺镱双包层光纤作为增益介质,由于光纤尺寸较小,极易在光纤谐振腔中产生受激布里渊散射、受激拉曼散射效应。包层掺镱双包层光纤激光器中一旦发生受激拉曼散射和受激布里渊散射效应,其产生高强度信号成为高功率光纤激光器的主要噪声来源,影响激光输出的特性和稳定性。对包层抽运掺镱光纤激光器中的受激布里渊散射和受激拉曼散射进行了实验研究,在单模双包层光纤中观察到受激布里渊散射和受激拉曼散射。实验结果表明,在光纤谐振腔中,抽运方式、谐振腔输出镜损耗、受激瑞利散射对受激布里渊散射的影响较大,尤其是受激瑞利散射为谐振腔提供了附加反馈,不仅压窄激光信号的线宽,而且使得受激布里渊散射的阈值迅速降低。

Amplification Effect on Rayleigh Scattering and SBS in 25 km Distributed Fiber Raman Amplifier

The amplification effect on stimulated Brillouin scattering （SBS） and Rayleigh scattering in the backward pumped G652 fibers Raman amplifier have been researched. The signal source is a tunable narrow spectral bandwidth （〈10 MHz） ECL laser and is pumped by the tunable power 1427.2 nm fiber Raman laser. The Rayleigh scattering lines are amplified by fiber Raman amplifier, and Stokes stimulated Brillouin scattering lines are amplified by fiber Raman amplifier and fiber Brillouin amplifier. The SBS lines total gain is a production of the gain of Raman and the gain of Brillouin amplifier. In experiment, the gain of SBS is about 42 dB and the saturation gain of 25 Ion G652 backward FRA is about 25 dB, so the gain of fiber Brillouin amplifier is about 17 dB.     

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.

Nonstationary nonlinear optical effects and ultrashort light pulse formation

A theory of nonstationary nonlinear wave phenomena occurring in the field of ultrashort high-intensity light pulses is developed (harmonic generation and parametric amplification stimulated Raman scattering). The main equations are given, the group velocity mismatch effects are studied, and special attention is paid to the high-conversion conditions. The possibilities of picosecond pulse narrowing on account of linear and nonlinear nonresonance parametric amplification and harmonic generation are studied in detail. The factors that determine the minimum light-pulse duration (dispersion broadening) are examined. A nonstationary theory of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is developed. Expressions for minimum pulse duration in forward and backward SRS are given. Reduction of Raman amplification with a picosecond pump is discussed.

脉冲光布里渊散射信号的拉曼放大研究

实验研究了前向拉曼泵浦方式下脉冲信号光产生的自发布里渊散射信号和受激布里渊散射(SBS)信号的拉曼放大规律。拉曼泵浦放大自发布里渊散射信号时,随泵浦功率增大会出现SBS现象,对散射信号的放大由拉曼放大和布里渊放大两部分引起,因此增益较大,当拉曼泵浦功率为1 000 mW时Stokes光增益可达54 dB。拉曼泵浦放大SBS信号时,放大过程中只存在拉曼放大。且当泵浦功率增大至600 mW时,会引起多级布里渊散射,致使一级Stokes和泵浦能量会转移到下一级布里渊散射,一级Stokes光增益饱和并下降。

Short-wavelength stimulated Raman scattering in a silica fiberpumped by an XeBr excimer laser

A UV-grade silica optical fiber was pumped by a 281.8-nm XeBr excimer laser. The first Stokes spectrum was observed at 285 nm. The spectral width was one-half of that of the spontaneous Raman spectrum. A numerical analysis of stimulated Raman scattering which includes two-photon absorption loss is presented. The Raman gain coefficient, determined by an analysis of the nonlinearity observed in the Stokes output, was 1.8×10^-5 cm/MW. The analysis also indicates that two-photon absorption is a more important loss factor than linear attenuation. The short wavelength limit of net amplification by stimulated Raman scattering is estimated to be 272 nm     

Nonlinearity in fiber transmission

Procedures are presented for estimating critical powers for nonlinear optical processes in single-mode fiber transmission systems. Crosstalk due to Raman gain in multiplexed systems can appear at powers of a few mW. The effects of self-phase modulation and stimulated Brillouin scattering can appear around 100 mW while typical stimulated Raman threshold powers are a few watts.     

Numerical calculation of the linewidth of Raman fiber lasers due to spontaneous Raman scattering

We calculate the spectral width of the Stokes output of Raman fiber lasers determined by spontaneous Raman scattering. The conventional model with zero bandwidths of the pump and Stokes lines is extended so that it describes a frequency-resolved Stokes band driven by the pump wave through both stimulated and spontaneous Raman scattering. To solve the boundary value problem for the Stokes spectra, a semi-analytic method is developed which reduces the spectrally resolved problem to an equivalent conventional model based on effective mirror reflectivities. The Stokes spectra are given in closed form in terms of the mirror reflection spectra. Spontaneous Raman scattering perceptibly broadens the RFL output spectra for pump powers around the lasing threshold.

Stimulated Raman Scattering in Nanorod Silicon Carbide Films

When the film is excited by a very low excitation energy, the spontaneous Raman scattering emerges. The intensity of Raman scattering is proportional to the excitation power below the threshold excitation. When the excited power reaches the excitation threshold, the intensity of Stokes light strongly increases. Meanwhile an anti Stokes light at 495 nm and multiple order but small Stokes peaks occur. The intensity of Stokes light is much larger than that of anti Stokes. The full width of half maximum (FWHM) of Stokes peak is reduced from 0.4 nm to less than 0.2 nm, the scattering angle between both Stokes and incident lights becomes less than 1°, and the angle between the Stokes and anti Stokes lights is about 3°. When the exciting power is in excess of the threshold, anti Stokes and multiple Raman scattering peaks reappear. These experiments can be unlimitedly repeated. From this experiment, we can exclude the possibility of spontaneous Raman scattering. It is suggested that the nanorods are a quantum line dimension having a large surface. There will be Raman differential scattering section so long as the nanorod films become very strong scattering media; the surface enhanced Raman scattering will be produced, the nanorod films of SiC will form a strong multiple scattering resonance cavities so as to form the stimulated Raman scattering oscillation.

Theory of stimulated Raman scattering in optical fibers in thepulse walkoff regime

It is shown that the process of forward stimulated Raman scattering in a single-mode fiber, which involves the pump pulse and the first Stokes wave, is an exactly soluble problem, provided that the temporal duration of these waves is sufficiently long. The analysis takes into account the effects of pulse walkoff arising from the dispersion of the fiber as well as self- and cross-phase modulation. The procedure is applied to two examples: the first is that of stimulated Raman scattering as it builds up from spontaneous Raman emission; the second is that of launching pump and Stokes pulses     

Saturation and depletion effect of Raman scattering in opticalfibers

The analytical solution of nonlinear power coupled equations involving three waves is given. The study reveals that the Raman gain saturation effect caused by the generation of the second Stokes has to be taken into consideration in light amplification by stimulated Raman scattering, though it can be ignored in spontaneous stimulated Raman scattering. It is also shown that it is advantageous to feed the fiber with a small low-order Stokes signal in amplifying the higher-order Stokes signal for easing the requirement of high pump power and long fiber length. A model to calculate higher-order Stokes radiation in low-loss optical fibers is presented
