在连续光全光纤光学参量振荡器（FOPO）中,目前主要利用可调滤波器（TBPF）等高插入损耗的滤波器件进行边带光输出波长的调谐,这种方式所引起的高环形腔损耗限制了FOPO输出性能的进一步提升。为解决此问题,提出了基于多模干涉（MMI）滤波器的低腔损耗可调谐连续光FOPO。通过选取不同长度和纤芯尺寸的多模光纤制作级联单模-多模-单模光纤（SMS）作为滤波器件,使其在选定波长处的插入损耗小于1 dB,FOPO环形腔的总损耗不大于5 dB,并通过对SMS器件施加轴向拉力的方式调节滤波器件的透射谱,实现了1 494~1 501 nm和1 638~1 629 nm范围内的双边带可调谐连续光输出。

Fabrication and characterization of bandpass filters based onconcatenated chirped fiber gratings

Practical, low-loss (<2 dB), fiber Bragg grating single-passband transmission filters have been realized with >30 dB out-of-band rejection over ~25 mm spectral widths. The approach adopted is based on the concatenation of two or more tailored broadband chirped gratings fabricated with low short-wavelength loss to maximize the rejection and stopband width in a filter with ~1 nm passband. The effect of thermal aging for similar complex structures is considered in the context of three different fiber types: standard telecommunication, high germania (Ge)-doped and boron/germania (B/Ge)-codoped. It is shown that while hydrogenated B/Ge-codoped fiber exhibits excellent photosensitivity, the resulting decrease in guiding strength and thermal stability may make germania-doped fiber the more attractive choice     

Band-rejection fibre filter using periodic core deformation

Grating-based all-fibre bandstop filters were fabricated by introducing periodic deformations in the core of the fibre with a CO₂ laser by first ablating the surface of the fibre and then annealing it. These devices, which can be tailored to any wavelength, have a broad bandwidth (10 nm), high peak wavelength rejection (>20 dB), low insertion loss (<0.3 dB), a very flat response outside the rejection band, and a short physical length (6 mm)     

A single-polarization fiber

We report an oPtical fiber which guides only one polarization. This fiber polarizer utilizes high modal birefringence (4.7 times 10^{-4}) to split the two polarizations of the fundamental mode and an ellipitcal depressed-index cladding to provide a steep wavelength-dependent tunneling loss to the fast axis mode. The stress-induced birefringence is created by an elliptical SiO2-B2O2inner cladding. A 4.7-m length of polarizer fiber exhibits an extinction ratio of 34 dB at a wavelength of 633 nm, with polarizing behavior over a bandwidth of 50 nm. Insertion loss of less than 1 dB has been observed for the guided linear-polarization mode. The polarizing band may be shifted from 620 to 525 nm by bending the fiber to a radius of 0.67 cm. Such fiber polarizers should find a variety of applications in fiber sensors, attenuators, isolators, wavelength filters, and tuners.     

A Method of Synthesizing Microwave Bandpass Filters Constructed With Symmetrical or Asymmetrical Compact Microstrip Resonators

This paper presents a method of synthesizing microwave filters consisting of compact microstrip resonators (CMRs). The synthesizing method is based on the conventional insertion-loss design method and can be applied to the design of filters consisting of symmetrical and asymmetrical CMRs. The synthesizing method can help the designer to determine the appropriate layout according to the specified passband and stopband characteristics of the filter. A new type of CMR layout is proposed to suppress the spurious passband response and is applied to the implementation of a Ku-band filter. The measurement of the prototype shows approximately 1.5-dB insertion loss in the passband and a rejection greater than 40 dB at the specified frequencies. Besides, an asymmetrical CMRs filter operated at Ku-band was also designed and fabricated. The measurement result is also close to the computer simulation result. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed design concept

High-performance all-fiber Fabry-Perot filters with superimposed chirped Bragg gratings

The performance of large-band Fabry-Perot (FP) filters is investigated through numerical simulations and experimental realization. The limitations of the filters are studied theoretically to determine the impact of the chirped fiber Bragg grating (FBG) imperfections on spectral variations of the free spectral range (FSR), finesse, transmission loss, and polarization dependent loss (PDL). All-fiber FP devices are realized experimentally with finesse reaching 240 and covering a spectral band of 26 nm. For finesse up to 80, the filters present acceptable performance in terms of spectral variations of FSR (/spl plusmn/3%), finesse, attenuation (/spl plusmn/0.5 dB), PDL (<0.2 dB), and insertion loss (<3 dB).
