210 mW of unsaturated continuous-wave output from a Ho/sup 3+/, Pr/sup 3+/-doped fluoride fibre laser is demonstrated using the /spl sim/1100 nm output from a free-running diode-cladding-pumped Yb/sup 3+/-doped silica fibre laser as the pump source. A slope efficiency of 3.2% and an output wavelength of 2.84 /spl mu/m are obtained. 相似文献

A singly Ho/sup 3+/-doped fluoride fibre laser that uses energy transfer upconversion to maintain the population inversion has produced 340 mW at 2.92 /spl mu/m. The /spl sim/1100 nm output from a diode-cladding-pumped Yb/sup 3+/-doped silica fibre laser was used as the pump source and a maximum slope efficiency of 5% was obtained. 相似文献

A high-index (n=1.80) glass based holey fibre was fabricated. The conventional capillary-stacking technique was used to make this fibre characterised by a complicated microstructured cladding. Monomode guidance was observed at 800 nm in this fibre and the effective mode area A/sub eff/ was measured as /spl sim/40 /spl mu/m/sup 2/. 相似文献

A tunable double-grating resonant leaky mode microelectromechanical-type element is introduced. A significant level of tunability is demonstrated by adjusting mechanically the structural symmetry of the grating profile. Tuning is also possible by variation of the thickness of the resonant layer. For a particular example silicon-on-insulator structure treated, it is shown that the resonance wavelength can be shifted by /spl sim/300 nm with a horizontal movement of /spl sim/120 nm within the 1.4-1.7-/spl mu/m wavelength band. Additionally, the reflectance can be varied from /spl sim/10/sup -3/ to 1 at central wavelength of 1.55 /spl mu/m with a vertical movement of /spl sim/200 nm. These results demonstrate new possibilities in design of tunable optical devices. 相似文献

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin-film ridge waveguides have been designed and fabricated on n-type (100) silicon substrate. A filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique is used to deposit high-crystal-quality ZnO thin films on lattice-mismatched silicon substrates at 230/spl deg/C. A ridge waveguide of width /spl sim/2 /spl mu/m and height /spl sim/0.1 /spl mu/m is defined on the ZnO thin film by plasma etching. Room-temperature amplified spontaneous emission is observed with peak wavelength at /spl sim/385 nm under 355-nm optical excitation. It is found that the net optical gain of the ZnO thin-film ridge waveguides can be as large as 120 cm/sup -1/ at a pump intensity of /spl sim/1.9 MW/cm/sup 2/. 相似文献

An 85 W Tm/sup 3+/-doped silica fibre laser is presented. To the best of the authors' knowledge this is the highest output power achieved by pumping with 793 nm. The slope efficiency was 56%, the threshold 11 W and the output wavelength centred at 2.04 /spl mu/m. The high rate of cross relaxation in this laser provided a quantum efficiency of >130%. 相似文献

We demonstrate record direct modulation bandwidths from MBE-grown In/sub 0.35/Ga/sub 0.65/As-GaAs multiple-quantum-well lasers with undoped active regions and with the upper and lower cladding layers grown at different growth temperatures. Short-cavity ridge waveguide lasers achieve CW direct modulation bandwidths up to 40 GHz for 6/spl times/130 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ devices at a bias current of 155 mA, which is the damping limit for this structure. We further demonstrate large-signal digital modulation up to 20 Gb/s (limited by the measurement setup) and linewidth enhancement factors of 1.4 at the lasing wavelength at threshold of /spl sim/1.1 /spl mu/m for these devices. 相似文献

Low splice loss between 34 /spl mu/m core diameter Bragg fibre and G-652 fibre by using micro-optics
The splice loss at 1.55 /spl mu/m between a 34 /spl mu/m core diameter singlemode photonic bandgap fibre and a G-652 fibre has been dramatically reduced from 2.5 to 0.8 dB by using a micro-optics composed of graded-index and coreless pure silica fibres. 相似文献

Tuning of the 2.1 /spl mu/m Ho/sup 3+/-doped silica fibre laser is demonstrated for the first time. The /sup 5/I/sub 7//spl rarr//sup 5/I/sub 8/ transition provides tuning over 144 nm, from 2019 to 2163 nm, and a maximum pump-limited output power of 1.58 W at 2100 nm was produced. 相似文献

The influence of scattering and two-photon absorption on the optical loss in GaAs-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ semiconductor nonlinear waveguides has been studied using femtosecond pulses. By deploying a scattering technique, loss coefficients were evaluated over an extended wavelength range of 1.3-2.1 /spl mu/m in the near-infrared. A systematic study involving intensity and wavelength dependence of the loss revealed the presence of two-photon absorption for wavelengths below 1.6 /spl mu/m. A simple nonlinear transmission study enabled the separation of the two-photon absorption coefficient from scattering and linear absorption. The calculated two-photon absorption coefficients were /spl sim/9-20 cm/GW. 相似文献

We report a 12 /spl times/ 12 In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As-In/sub 0.52/Al/sub 0.48/As avalanche photodiode (APD) array. The mean breakdown voltage of the APD was 57.9 V and the standard deviation was less than 0.1 V. The mean dark current was /spl sim/2 and /spl sim/300 nA, and the standard deviation was /spl sim/0.19 and /spl sim/60 nA at unity gain (V/sub bias/ = 13.5 V) and at 90% of the breakdown voltage, respectively. External quantum efficiency was above 40% in the wavelength range from 1.0 to 1.6 /spl mu/m. It was /spl sim/57% and /spl sim/45% at 1.3 and 1.55 /spl mu/m, respectively. A bandwidth of 13 GHz was achieved at low gain. 相似文献

In order to expand the available bandwidth for wavelength division multiplexing transmission systems, a 1.65 /spl mu/m-band optical fibre amplifier with Er/sup 3+/-doped fluorozirconate fibre using 0.8 /spl mu/m upconversion pumping has been demonstrated. The positive gain, 3.8 dB, is the first ever achieved by means of (/sup 2/H/sub 11/2/, /sup 4/S/sub 3/2/) /spl rarr/ /sup 4/I/sub 9/2/ stimulated emission transition. 相似文献

A short-cavity fibre laser oscillator emitting 12 ps-long pulses at the fundamental cavity frequency of 550 MHz is reported. The simple, stable and ultra-compact laser cavity consists of a short active fibre section which is spliced to a narrowband fibre Bragg grating, and a butt-coupled semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. Only 8 cm of the heavily Er/Yb co-doped phosphate-glass active fibre is sufficient to produce as much as 775 mW of average output power at 1.5 /spl mu/m directly from the oscillator. 相似文献

The fabricated device exhibits the close-to-Gaussian emission with a bandwidth of up to 140 nm.

The fabrication of the first singlemode tellurite glass holey fibre produced from an extruded preform is reported. Robust singlemode guidance was observed at 1047 nm in the fabricated small core holey fibre. An effective mode area of 2.6 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ and high effective nonlinearity of 580 W/sup -1/ km/sup -1/ at 1047 nm were predicted. The fibre loss was measured to be 3.5 dB/m at 1050 nm, and 5.8 dB/m at 1550 nm. 相似文献

This paper reports on the recent progress in the design and fabrication of high-nonlinearity lead-silicate holey fibers (HFs). First, the fabrication of a fiber designed to offer close to the maximum possible nonlinearity per unit length in this glass type is described. A value of /spl gamma/=1860 W/sup -1//spl middot/km/sup -1/ at a wavelength of 1.55 /spl mu/m is achieved, which is believed to be a record for any fiber at this wavelength. Second, the design and fabrication of a fiber with a slightly reduced nonlinearity but with dispersion-shifted characteristics tailored to enhance broadband supercontinuum (SC) generation when pumped at a wavelength of 1.06 /spl mu/m-a wavelength readily generated using Yb-doped fiber lasers-are described. SC generation spanning more than 1000 nm is observed for modest pulse energies of /spl sim/ 100 pJ using a short length of this fiber. Finally, the results of numerical simulations of the SC process in the proposed fibers are presented, which are in good agreement with the experimental observations and highlight the importance of accurate control of the zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) when optimizing such fibers for SC performance. 相似文献

A novel ultracompact 2/spl times/2 wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) for 1.55-/spl mu/m operation based on highly dispersive two-mode interference (TMI) was designed, theoretically modeled, and verified using a finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) method. A two-moded waveguide assisted with a dispersive tooth-shaped grating provided a mode-dependent reflection band of central wavelength at 1.55 /spl mu/m. The wavelengths of 1538 and 1572 nm that were at the band edges and had the lowest reflection losses and relatively high dispersion were selected for wavelength multiplexing. The result showed that the wavelengths were separated by grating dispersion in a coupler length of 75 /spl mu/m which was much shorter than the required length of 1.1 mm in a regular TMI multiplexer of no grating. Insertion loss of about 1.7 dB and channel contrast of about 12 dB were achieved. 相似文献

The Raman gain efficiency of a 2.3 /spl mu/m-core-diameter holey fibre was measured using three different techniques. A /spl sim/4.65/spl times/10/sup -3/ W/sup -1/ m/sup -1/ efficiency is obtained by all techniques with mismatches lying within the estimated errors. It is shown that the high efficiency is due to small mode-field diameter of the holey fibre, as expected. The use of the fibre as a continuous-wave-pumped Raman amplifier is discussed. 相似文献
