A novel optical model for a tunable dispersion compensator is realized by a deliberate packaging scheme ensuing from intensive interactions of mechanical design, materials science and numerical simulation techniques including computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis. The compensator is comprised of multiple cascaded single cavity Gires-Tournois etalons, each under independent temperature control. Three critical issues are addressed: etalon temperature uniformity, thermal insulation and optical surface deformation of the etalons. With etalon optical surface deformation minimized and etalon temperature uniformity successfully controlled within a range of /spl plusmn/0.1/spl deg/C, this small (232 /spl times/ 139 /spl times/ 16 mm) compensator achieves extremely low group delay ripple (<2.0 ps), low insertion loss ripple (<0.5 dB, insertion loss <6.3 dB), low polarization dependent loss [(PDL),<0.15 dB] and low polarization mode dispersion [(PMD),<0.7 ps]. The dispersion tuning range is from -700 ps/nm to +700 ps/nm in a dispersion passband of 0.2 nm which is sufficient for 10-Gb/s transmission. Thermal insulation design makes the tuning process take effect within 1 min at maximum power consumption 5 W. 相似文献

This paper describes a continuously variable and independently addressable channelized dispersion compensator. The optical system is a free-space grating-based system used in a four-pass configuration to ensure flat passbands. The variable dispersion is produced by an array of thermally adaptable curvature micromechanical mirrors. A per-channel variable dispersion greater than +/-400 ps/nm has been demonstrated, with 58 GHz +/-0.4 dB flat passband on 85 GHz spacing. The group delay ripple is less than 7 ps and the penalty with 40 Gb/s CSRZ is 0.7 dB. 相似文献

This letter presents a novel design for dispersion compensating photonic crystal fiber (DCPCF) which shows inherently flattened high Raman gain of 19 dB (/spl plusmn/1.2-dB gain ripple) over 30-nm bandwidth. The proposed design module has been simulated through an efficient full-vectorial finite element method. The designed DCPCF has a high negative dispersion coefficient (-200 to -250 ps/nm/km) over C-band wavelength (1530-1568 nm). The proposed fiber module of 5.2-km length not only compensates the accumulated dispersion in conventional single-mode fiber (SMF-28) but also compensates for the dispersion slope. Hence, the designed DCPCF module acts as the gain-flattened Raman amplifier and dispersion compensator. 相似文献

A tunable dispersion compensating filter based on a multistage optical all-pass filter with a microelectromechanical (MEM) actuated variable reflector and a thermally tuned cavity is described. A two-stage device was demonstrated with a tuning range of ±100 ps/nm, 50-GHz passband and a group delay ripple less than ±3 ps. The device has negligible polarization dependence and is suitable for single or multiple channel compensation. An off-axis, two-fiber package with an excess loss <2 dB/stage avoids the need for a circulator. By cascading four stages, a passband to channel spacing ratio of 0.8 is obtained that allows both 40 Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) and return-to-zero (RZ) signals to be compensated 相似文献

Dispersion management is critical for next-generation high-bandwidth-utilization fiber-optical networks. Square-top thin-film bandpass filters for 50-GHz dense wavelength-division multiplexing inherently have high chromatic dispersion (CD) in transmission. The imparted dispersion power penalty on the network is undesirable. However, a second thin-film filter, operating in reflection, can be designed to compensate the CD of the bandpass filter. In this paper we demonstrate experimentally the reduction of the intrinsic CD of a 50-GHz thin-film coupler from /spl plusmn/170 ps/nm to /spl plusmn/50 ps/nm over a 30-GHz passband, through the use of such a cascaded thin-film compensator. Network simulations based on filter performance confirm the reduced dispersion power penalty of the cascade over the individual filter. 相似文献

We present a multichannel tunable dispersion compensator (TDC) based on multicavity all-pass etalons that is capable of operation at 40 Gb/s. The device has a tuning range of +200/-220 ps/nm with a group delay ripple < /spl plusmn/5 ps over a channel bandwidth of 80 GHz, an overall loss of < 5.2 dB, very low insertion loss ripple, and can operate on any channel on a 200-GHz grid over the C-band. In addition, we present system performance results at 40 Gb/s using NRZ, RZ, and CS-RZ modulation, compensating up to 45 km of nonzero dispersion shifted fiber (NZDSF). Our results show that this device introduces very little excess system penalty with signal frequency drifts of up to 20 GHz when operated near the center of its tuning range. For single channel experiments with fiber, the system penalty increase versus signal detuning is more significant, but can be reduced by dynamically optimizing the device dispersion during detuning. Finally, we demonstrate simultaneous compensation of 4 channels across the C-band over 25 km of NZDSF. 相似文献

40/spl times/40 Gbit/s ultra-long haul transmission over 2160 km of cabled and field-deployed dispersion-managed fibre (DME) with extremely low total dispersion ripple (/spl plusmn/27 ps/nm over C-band) is demonstrated. No per channel dispersion compensation is required. A Q factor margin of 1.4 dB to standard 7% forward error correction limit is achieved. 相似文献

We report here a novel fiber design which has inherently flattened effective Raman gain spectrum, with a relative 3-dB bandwidth of /spl sim/90 nm. Gain-flattened broad-band amplification can be achieved in any wavelength band by suitably choosing the fiber parameters and the pump wavelength. Simulations show that the proposed fiber also has high negative dispersion coefficient /spl sim/(-300 to -600) ps/km /spl middot/ nm in the operating range of wavelength. Hence, the designed fiber serves the purpose of a gain-flattened broad-band amplifier and dispersion compensator. 相似文献

The characteristics of chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs) are optimized so that the ripple coefficient of the power reflectivity spectrum and group time delay are less than 1 dB and |± 15| ps, group delay is about 2600 ps/nm, polarization module dispersion is very small, PMD<2 ps, -3 dB bandwidth is about 0.35 nm, and insertion loss is about 4-5 dBm. Using dispersion compensation CFBG, a 2500 km-10 Gbps RZ optical signal transmission system on G.652 fiber was successfully demonstrated without an electric regenerator by optimizing dispersion management and loss management. The RZ optical signal was generated through a two-stage modulation method. At 2081 km, the power penalty of transmission is about 3 dB (conditions: RZ signal, BER = 10-12, PRBS = 1023 - 1); At 2560 km, the power penalty is about 5 dB. It is superior to the system using NRZ under the same conditions. 相似文献

A recently proposed UV correction method is used to reduce group delay ripple in a chirped fibre grating tunable dispersion compensator. In 43 Gbit/s CSRZ system tests, the corrected grating had less than 0.5 dB OSNR penalty over the tunable dispersion range of 270 to 750 ps/nm. 相似文献

Optical and electrical properties of nanostructured metal-silicon-metal photodetectors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We report an experimental evaluation of the performance of silicon (Si) photodetectors incorporating one-dimensional (1-D) arrays of rectangular and triangular-shaped nanoscale structures within their active regions. A significant (/spl sim/2/spl times/) enhancement in photoresponse is achieved in these devices across the 400- to 900-nm spectral region due to the modification of optical absorption properties that results from structuring the Si surface on physical optics scales smaller than the wavelength, which both reduces the reflectivity and concentrates the optical field closer to the surface. Both patterned (triangular and rectangular lineshape) and planar Ni-Si back-to-back Schottky barrier metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors on n-type (/spl sim/5/spl times/10/sup 14/ cm/sup -3/) bulk Si were studied. 1-D /spl sim/50-250-nm linewidth, /spl sim/1000-nm depth, grating structures were fabricated by a combination of interferometric lithography and dry etching. The nanoscale grating structures significantly modify the absorption, reflectance, and transmission characteristics of the semiconductor: air interface. These changes result in improved electrical response leading to increased external quantum efficiency (from /spl sim/44% for planar to /spl sim/81% for structured devices at /spl lambda/=700 nm). In addition, a faster time constant (/spl sim/1700 ps for planar to /spl sim/600 ps for structured at /spl lambda/=900 nm) is achieved by increasing the absorption near the surface where the carriers can be rapidly collected. Experimental quantum efficiency and photocurrents results are compared with a theoretical photocurrent model based on rigorous coupled-wave analysis of nanostructured gratings. 相似文献

The principle of the transversal interleave filter previously proposed as a novel class of interleave filter is described. The principle of a conventional 1 /spl times/ 1 coherent optical transversal filter is reviewed. Then, the fundamental operating principle and the three design conditions required for the novel interleave filter are explained. As examples, three types of filter design, namely 1) a general/transposed design; 2) an asymmetric design; and 3) a symmetric design, are presented, and their interleave filter characteristics are discussed. The designed interleave filters with a free spectral range of 100 GHz was fabricated using silica-based planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology. The asymmetric design achieved a wide 3-dB passband width of 55 GHz, whereas an ordinary lattice-form interleave filter could not realize a 3-dB passband width larger than 50 GHz because of the halfband property. A small polarization-dependent wavelength shift of 0.01 nm is demonstrated by inserting a single half waveplate in the middle of the circuit. The general/transposed and symmetric designs realized a practical interleave filter with a boxlike transmission spectrum and low chromatic dispersion. The two-stage interleave filter formed by cascading the general and transposed designs has the advantages of a low crosstalk of less than -46 dB and a wide 20-dB stopband width of 40 GHz, whereas the single-stage symmetric design has an extremely small chromatic dispersion of within /spl plusmn/5 ps/nm. In addition, the design concept to realize a 1/spl times/N transversal interleave filter is extended. 相似文献

This paper reports on a novel fiber design that has an inherently flattened effective Raman gain spectrum. Simulations show that gain-flattened broad-band Raman amplification, using a single pump, can be achieved in any wavelength band by suitably choosing the fiber parameters and the pump wavelength. The fiber also has a high negative dispersion coefficient-(380-515) ps/km/spl middot/nm over the operating range of wavelengths-and the shape of the dispersion curve is such that the total link dispersion can be not only compensated but also flattened. Hence, the designed fiber can serve as a lossless, broad-band, dispersion-flattening, and dispersion-compensating module for the S band, wherein lossless operation is achieved using inherently gain-flattened single-pump Raman amplification. The performance characteristics of such a module was modeled taking into account wavelength-dependent splice loss as well as background loss, and it has been shown through simulations that lossless operation with /spl plusmn/0.2-dB gain ripple is achievable over (1480-1511) nm using a single pump. Moreover, dispersion compensation for five spans of transmission in a 10-Gb/s system, over this 32-nm bandwidth in the S band, should be attainable using the proposed design. 相似文献

Arbitrary dual-band microstrip components using composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission lines (TLs) are presented. Theory, synthesis procedure, and implementation of the dual-band quarter-wave (/spl lambda//4) CRLH TL are presented. Arbitrary dual-band operation is achieved by the frequency offset and the phase slope of the CRLH TL. The frequency ratio of the two operating frequencies can be a noninteger. The dual-band /spl lambda//4 open/short-circuit stub, dual-band branch-line coupler (BLC), and dual-band rat-race coupler (RRC) are also demonstrated. The performances of these dual-band components are demonstrated by both simulated and measured results. Insertion loss is larger than 23 dB for the shunt /spl lambda//4 CRLH TL open-circuit stub and less than 0.25 dB for the shunt /spl lambda//4 CRLH TL short-circuit stub at each passband. The dual-band BLC exhibits S/sub 21/ and S/sub 31/ larger than -4.034 dB, return losses larger than 17 dB, isolations larger than 13 dB, phase differences 90/spl deg//spl plusmn/1.5/spl deg/, and gain imbalance less than 0.5 dB at each passband. The dual-band RRC exhibits S/sub 21/ and S/sub 31/ larger than -4.126 dB, return losses larger than 12 dB, isolations larger than 30 dB, phase difference 180/spl deg//spl plusmn/4/spl deg/, and gain imbalance less than 0.2 dB at each passband. 相似文献

Polymer microring coupled-resonator optical waveguides 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We present measurements of the transmission and dispersion properties of coupled-resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) consisting of weakly coupled polymer microring resonators. The fabrication and the measurement methods of the CROWs are discussed as well. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical loss, waveguide dispersion, group delay, group velocity, and group-velocity dispersion (GVD). The intrinsic quality factors of the microrings were about 1.5/spl times/10/sup 4/ to 1.8/spl times/10/sup 4/, and group delays greater than 100 ps were measured with a GVD between -70 and 100 ps/(nm/spl middot/resonator). With clear and simple spectral responses and without a need for the tuning of the resonators, the polymer microring CROWs demonstrate the practicability of using a large number of microresonators to control the propagation of optical waves. 相似文献

We propose a novel compact design for a single-stage S-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier, wherein distributed suppression of C-band amplified spontaneous emission is provided by optimized bend loss in a coaxial core fiber. Simulations show that /spl sim/25-dB unsaturated gain over 30-nm bandwidth (1495-1525) nm is achievable with the designed module, using a nominal pump power of 500 mW. The noise figure of the amplifier varies between 4.5 and 8 dB from 1495 to 1525 nm. By proper designing, we have also ensured that the gain ripple over the entire 30-nm bandwidth is 相似文献

A simple, compact, fully fibre integrated source of /spl sim/100 fs pulses at a wavelength of 1.1 /spl mu/m is reported. 4 ps pulses at 1063 nm from a modelocked fibre laser were amplified to 23 mW in a ytterbium-doped fibre amplifier and subsequently propagated through 62 m of holey fibre with a zero dispersion wavelength at 1040 nm. Soliton formation, breakup and self frequency shift resulted in the formation of /spl sim/100 fs pulses at 1.1 /spl mu/m. Wavelength tunability from 1113 to 1220 nm is demonstrated. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

A novel ultraflattened dispersion photonic Crystal fiber 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Tzong-Lin Wu Chia-Hsin Chao 《Photonics Technology Letters, IEEE》2005,17(1):67-69
A novel four-ring photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structure with two different air-hole sizes is proposed with nearly zero ultraflattened dispersion characteristics. Through optimizing only three geometrical parameters, two air-hole diameters, and one hole pitch, the ultraflattened zero dispersion PCF can be efficiently designed. As an example, a four-ring PCF with flattened dispersion of /spl plusmn/0.25 ps/km/nm from 1.295- to 1.725-/spl mu/m wavelength is numerically demonstrated. The corresponding design procedures for the novel PCF are also presented in this letter. 相似文献

In this article, we propose a method to realize dispersion-compensation modules (DCMs) with a user-defined dispersion in a specified bandwidth for a given tolerance. It is based on the wavelength shift of a characteristic dispersion function by scaling the refractive-index profile. Controlling the fiber diameter during the manufacturing process leads to the desired scaling. In order to get a DCM with the predefined wavelength-dependent dispersion, a specific diameter-versus-position function has to be implemented. To demonstrate the concept, compensators for typical transmission fibers were simulated. For example, the dispersion in the complete C band (1530-1570 nm) can be compensated for 100 km of TeraLight and TrueWave-RS. The results showed a residual dispersion of only /spl plusmn/1 ps/nm and could be realized with overall compensator lengths of 3.54 and 1.97 km, respectively. Furthermore, higher order dispersion in the S, C, and L bands (1490-1610 nm) was compensated for different requirements with a tolerance of only /spl plusmn/0.5 ps/nm, which enables ultrahigh bit-rate transmission at 160 Gb/s. In order to estimate the feasibility of such a DCM, a tolerance analysis is presented, and the guiding properties are approximated. 相似文献
