Supercontinuum Generation in Normal-dispersion Photonic Crystal Fiber Using Picosecond Pulse

Studied is the Super-continuum （SC） generation of a normal-dispersion photonic crystal fiber （PCF） using picosecond pulse excitation. In experimental analyses, a 237 nm broadband infrared continuum was generated pumped at 1 550 nm（normal dispersion regime） by 1.6 ps pulses from an erbium-doped fiber laser. In addition, we conduct the numerical analyses of SC based on generalized nonlinear Schr dionger equation. The results have been applied to investigate the dominant physical processes underlie the generation - of SC. We conclude that dispersion, self-phase modulation （SPM）, four-wave-mixing （FWM） and Raman scattering are determinants of SC generation rather than fission of soliton in normal-dispersion PCF.     

Spectrally Sliced Pulse Source Based on Supercontinuum Generation in Dispersion-Flattened Photonic Crystal Fiber

Designed is dispersion-flattened photonic crystal fiber（PCF） with small normal dispersion for generating flat wideband supercontinuum （SC）, and demonstrated is spectrally sliced pulse source which utilizes supereontinuum generated in dispersion-flattened photonic crystal fiber. The results show that the fiber characterized by flattened dispersion with small normal dispersion is suitable for flat wideband supercontinuum generation. In the process of spectral broadening, self-phase modulation plays a dominant role. By filtering the supercontinuum, multi-wavelength pulses can be obtained over a wide spectral range.

Photonic Generation of Microwave Signals Based on Pulse Shaping

A novel approach to generating microwave signals based on optical pulse shaping is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The proposed system consists of a femtosecond pulse laser source, a Sagnac-loop filter (SLF), a dispersive element, and a photodetector. The spectrum of the femtosecond pulse is shaped by the SLF that has a sinusoidal spectral response. Thanks to the frequency-to-time conversion in the dispersive element, time-domain pulse exhibiting the shape of the optical power spectrum is obtained. Depending on the free-spectral range of the SLF and the total dispersion of the dispersive element, signals with frequencies up to terahertz can be generated. A model to describe the signal generation is developed. Experimental results agree well with the theoretical analysis

An equiangular spiral photonic crystal fiber (ES-PCF) design in soft glass is presented that has high nonlinearity ( $gamma>5250 hbox{W}^{-1}cdothbox{km}^{-1}$ at 1064 nm and $gamma>2150 hbox{W}^{-1}cdothbox{km}^{-1}$ at 1550 nm) with a low and flat dispersion (${D}sim {hbox {0.8}} hbox{ps/km}cdothbox{nm}$ and dispersion slope $sim-0.7 hbox{ps/km}cdothbox{nm}^{2}$ at 1060 nm). The design inspired by nature is characterized by a full-vectorial finite element method. The ES-PCF presented improves over the mode confinement of triangular core designs and dispersion control of conventional hexagonal PCF, combining the advantages of both designs; it can be an excellent candidate for generating supercontinuum pumped at 1.06 $mu{hbox {m}}$.      

大模场光子晶体光纤中超连续谱的产生与控制

探索利用大模场光子晶体光纤产生大功率、高光束质量的超连续谱。采用分步傅里叶方法求解广义非线性薛定谔方程(GNLSE), 模拟了光脉冲在大模场光子晶体光纤中非线性传输和超连续谱的产生过程。着重分析了光子晶体光纤长度和抽运脉冲的峰值功率、啁啾等对超连续谱产生的影响, 讨论了大模场光子晶体光纤中光谱的非线性展宽机制。发现可将超连续谱产生过程分为初始展宽、剧烈展宽和饱和展宽三个阶段。合理选择光纤长度, 使产生的超连续谱处于剧烈展宽阶段时输出, 既能够得到较宽的光谱, 又能够保证较高的效率。抽运峰值功率对超连续谱的产生有重要影响, 当输入功率较小时, 脉冲的频谱成对称展宽, 仅有自相位调制(SPM)效应起作用, 其他高阶效应的影响都很弱。随着脉冲功率的增加, 频谱短波方向变化较小, 光谱向长波方向展宽。同时, 脉冲时域出现振荡调制, 振荡的起因与光波分裂现象有关。抽运光初始啁啾对超连续谱的产生也有重要影响。当啁啾为正时, 啁啾量的大小对产生超连续谱的影响较小, 蓝移方向基本没有影响, 而红移部分能量随着啁啾量的增大向长波方向转移, 超连续谱总的宽度变化较小; 当啁啾为负且满足一定条件时, 其中的非线性作用得到增强, 有利于光谱展宽。

Energy-adaptive Pulse Amplitude Modulation for IR-UWB Communications Under Renewable Energy

Impulse Radio Ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) technique has long been recognized for its unique carrierless operation as compared with other communication techniques. The simple and low-cost structure offers great advantages for self-powered embedded wireless systems, in which energy efficiency is a challenging issue due to the fact that most renewable energy sources only offer limited and unstable power supply. In this paper, we present an energy-adaptive Pulse Amplitude Modulation technique for self-powered IR-UWB based communication systems to improve data rate and or time coverage. The basic idea is derived from the fact that domain-specific information in such applications are often available; thus, by jointly exploiting the wireless channel conditions and the non-deterministic characteristics of renewable energy sources, the proposed technique dynamically adjusts the modulation level to enhance the sustainable operation under the unreliable energy supply. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed technique achieves a much higher data rate and better time coverage than conventional UWB systems. The proposed technique is also insensitive to many practical issues such as the battery aging effect.
