Nonlinear pulse switching using long-period fiber gratings

We show that the intensity required to achieve all-optical switching in long-period fiber gratings can be reduced by orders of magnitude through the use of uniform phase-shifting regions between gratings. Predicted switching intensities are of the order 100 MW/cm² compared to 10 GW/cm² for normal device configuration     

Magneto-optic field coupling in optical fiber Bragg gratings

A magnetic sensor utilizing direct magneto-optic field coupling in an optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is experimentally demonstrated. The FBG’s cladding is etched to expose the propagating evanescent light to the fiber’s surroundings. The etched FBG is surrounded with iron oxide nanoparticles and placed in a magnetic field perpendicular to the fiber. Measurements demonstrate that the λ_B shifts nonlinearly as a function of magnetic field, i.e. comparable to the magnetization versus magnetic field behavior of the nanoparticles measured by a SQUID magnetometer. This direct manipulation of light with magnetic fields provides an approach to develop future sensors relying on electromagnetic interactions.     

Thermal tuning of polymer optical fiber Bragg gratings

Reconfigurable multichannel optical add-drop multiplexersincorporating eight-port optical circulators and fiber Bragg gratings

We propose and demonstrate two new strictly nonblocking reconfigurable multichannel optical add-drop multiplexers (RM-OADMs) using optical circulators and fiber Bragg gratings. By effectively using eight-port optical circulators, the new structures significantly reduce component count and insertion loss, and achieve good crosstalk performance. One of the new RM-OADMs potentially achieves the lowest insertion loss among existing RM-OADMs     

Wavelength switching of picosecond pulses in a self-seededFabry-Perot semiconductor laser with external fiber Bragg gratingcavities by optical injection

All-optical wavelength switching of single-mode picosecond pulses was demonstrated in an optically gain-switched Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser with self-seeding from two uniform fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) or a linearly chirped FBG by injecting optical pulse trains with a peak power of ~1.0 mW at GHz repetition rates. Sidemode suppression ratio (SMSR) better than 17 dB was achieved in both wavelengths in the former case. Wavelength switching among three successive laser cavity modes was achieved in the latter case. A SMSR better than 15 dB was obtained at all three wavelengths. This laser has potential applications in remote optically controlled fiber sensors, such as temperature sensors     

Rapidly reconfigurable optical phase encoder-decoders based on fiber Bragg gratings

We demonstrate the capacity for fast dynamic reconfiguration of optical code-division multiple access (OCDMA) phase en/decoders based on fiber Bragg gratings and a thermal phase-tuning technique. The tuning time between two different phase codes is measured to be less than 2 s. An OCDMA system using tunable-phase decoders is compared with a system using fixed-phase decoders and, although the system using fixed-phase decoders exhibits a shorter output autocorrelation pulsewidth and lower sidelobes, the system using tunable-phase decoders has advantages of flexibility and a more relaxed requirement on the input pulsewidth.     

Characteristics of magneto-optic fiber Bragg gratings for use in optical signal processing

The characteristics of photonic bandgaps and the transmission/reflection of guided optical waves in the magneto-optic fiber Bragg grating (MFBG) are theoretically investigated for the first time. The polarization-mode conversion resulting from the Faraday effect may change the width of the pure bandgap, or even lead to a couple of photonic semitransparent frequency band (STB) for sufficiently large magneto-optical-to-grating coupling ratio (MGR). Within the STBs, the transmittivity and reflectivity are equal and then the MFBG can serve as a 3 dB light beam splitter. Based on the sensitivity of MFBG spectral lines to the magneto-optic (MO) coupling coefficient, a novel high-resolution magnetic field sensor capable of up to 0.01 nm/(kA/m) is predicted. According to the dependency of nonlinear transmission or reflection on the MO effects, a new class of MFBG-based nonlinear optical switches under an appropriate MO bias may also be achieved with applications to flexible and controllable optical signal processing.     

Long-phase error-free fiber Bragg gratings

Stitching errors in the phase mask degrade the spectral response of fiber Bragg gratings fabricated with the phase mask technique. We successfully fabricated a stitching error-free phase mask and applied it to the fabrication of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The gratings have no observable excess sidelobes in the reflectivity and show excellent wavelength selectivity

Dispersion compensation of fiber Bragg gratings in 3100 km high speed optical fiber transmission system

By optimizing the fabrication process of the chirped optical fiber Bragg grating (CFBG), some key problems of CFBG are solved, such as fabrication repetition, temperature stability, group delay ripple (GDR), fluctuation of the reflection spectrum, polarization mode dispersion (PMD), interaction of cascaded CFBG, and so on. The CFBG we fabricated can attain a temperature coefficient less than 0.0005 nm/℃, and the smoothed GDR and the fluctuation of the reflection spectrum are smaller than 10ps and 0.5dB, respec-tively. The PMD of each CFBG is less than 1 ps and the dispersion of each grating is larger than -2600 ps/(nm·km). With dispersion compensated by the CFBGs we fabricated, a 13×10 Gbit/s 3100 km ultra long G.652 fiber transmission system is successfully imple-mented without electric regenerator. The bit error rate (BER) of the system is below 10-4 without forward error correction (FEC); when FEC is added, the BER is below 10-12. The power penalty of the carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ) code transmission system is only 2.5 dB.

Nonlinear interaction between optical pulses from high-repetition gain-switched DFB-LD in optical fiber

Interaction forces between propagating pulse pairs from a gain-switched distributed feedback laser diode (DFB-LD) were investigated. The authors discuss the experimental observation of a nonlinear interaction force between the fiber-compressed, gain-switched optical pulses. Optical pulses were generated by a gain-switched 1.55 mu m DFB-LD at a 10 GHz repetition rate, and compressed by compensating for the red-shifted chirping in the optical pulses using a polarization-holding fiber with a 18.7 ps/km/nm normal dispersion at a 1.55 mu m wavelength. The measured interaction force, which was greater than that theoretically predicted, was caused by the wings and/or pedestal associated with copropagating pulses.<>     

Highly stable fiber Bragg gratings written in hydrogen-loaded fiber

We demonstrated that the thermal stability of fiber Bragg gratings written in hydrogen-loaded standard fibers can be significantly enhanced by preirradiating the fiber with UV beam before writing gratings. Our experimental result shows that these gratings maintained more than 60% of their initial index modulation after 10 hours at 605/spl deg/C.     

Mode couplings in superstructure fiber Bragg gratings

Measuring thermal and mechanical stresses on optical fiber in a DC module using fiber Bragg gratings

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) can be used as sensors to monitor stress and test temperature during the processing and handling of optical fiber. As the FBG experiences a combination of mechanical and thermal loading, the return Bragg wavelength will shift proportionately to the magnitude of the load. This paper discusses the use of these sensors in quantifying induced stress on fiber during the packaging of a dispersion-compensating module (DCM) and the ensuing environmental exposure. There are two potential fiber-failure modes for fiber wound in DCMs, namely microbend-induced attenuation and fiber failure from fatigue. The ability to quantify fiber stress provides a useful feedback tool in the design phase of these modules that can aid in reducing the risk of mechanical and optical failure modes. A practical characterization process was developed to decouple thermal and stress effects on FBGs based on results from current literature and from this study. Uncoated Bragg sensors were found to respond linearly between -40 to 80/spl deg/C. Gratings with a protective polymer recoat departed from the linear behavior of the uncoated gratings below -5/spl deg/C. It was determined that the recoat material places less than 25 MPa (3.6 klbf/in/sup 2/) of axial compression on the fiber at -40/spl deg/C. Four gratings with different Bragg wavelengths were spliced into 10 km of fiber and wound into a DCM. The wind-induced stress on all four gratings quickly relaxed. The module was then thermal cycled between -40 and +75/spl deg/C. The overall stress on each grating was acceptably low for reliability purposes. The maximum stress of 17 MPa (2.5 klbf/in/sup 2/) was observed at the lowest temperature.
