  Abstract:A femtosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide is proposed and analyzed numerically. By utilizing split-step Fourier method (SSFM), it is demonstrated that ultrawide tunable wavelength femtosecond pulse can be realized under the phase matching condition. Due to the interaction between nonlinearity and flexible dispersion design, the output signal wavelength can be tuned from 1645 to 1805 nm and the idler wavelength can be tuned from 1350 to 1456 nm. Moreover, the peak power of the output signal pulse exceeds 10 W from 1700 to 1770 nm with the pump peak power 50 W. The proposed OPO exhibits compact configuration and can find important applications in integrated broadband optical source. © 2012 Optical Society of America.

  Abstract:End-pumped and multi-point pumped Yb3-doped gain guided and index antiguided (GGIAG) fiber laser are analyzed by solving the rate equations and 3-D thermal conduction equations. Simulation results show that the multi-point pumped scheme can provide lower operating temperature and better temperature uniformity. Meanwhile, fabrication complexity, loss resulted from pump point should be taken into consideration in the practical design. © 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  Abstract:A practical technique based on the phase-conjugate wave (PCW) generation is proposed to improve the temporal contrast of the picosecond pulses. Our theory predicts the temporal contrast of the picosecond pulses can be enhancedto about the cube of the temporal contrastof the input pulse via the PCW generation,in which the conversion efficiency from the incident pulse to the PCW is about 25%. In a proof-of-principle experiment, the temporal contrast of picosecond pulses was enhanced from 1.7 × 103 to 8.6 × 108 with the conversion efficiency of 10%. This technique is promising to effectively eliminate the background of the ultrashort and ultraintense laser pulses in the future. © 2012 Optical Society of America.

  Abstract:Low timing-jitter, "σ"-type passively mode-locked fiber laser is used as a high-performance optical sampling pulse source, of which the operation stability is high and the repetition frequency is tunable. Then the generated sequence of ultrashort optical sampling pulses is launched together with a 80 Gb/s optical pulse signal under test into a 100 m-long highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF). The all-optical sampling of an optical signal under test is realized by utilizing the four-wave mixing (FWM) in a HNLF. Consequently, the waveform of a 80 Gb/s optical pulse signal with RZ format is precisely reproduced by a computer and is displayed on its screen by employing our developed software for digital signal processing and computer image processing, respectively. Moreover, the optical sampling oscilloscope prototype is used to measure the pulse waveform and pulse width at the output of a commercially available, actively mode-locked semiconductor laser which produces optical pulses of 1.8 ps width (measured by an autocorrelator) at the 10 GHz repetition frequency. In the experiment, the pulse width measured by this oscilloscope prototype system is 2.0 ps. It is clearly shown that our developed optical sampling oscilloscope prototype has a temporal resolution better than 900 fs.

  Abstract:The beam quality and wavefront distribution of the optical parametric chirpedpulse amplification (OPCPA) frontend system of the petawatt laser has become a focus for research. The influence of wavefront mismatch, spatial chirp and multimode pump on the beam quality of OPCPA is numerically simulated and analyzed. It is shown that the beam quality and wavefront distribution becomes worse as the mismatch angle or the order of the spatial chirp increases. Meanwhile, it is also found that the beam quality and conversion efficiency of the amplified signal becomes worse as the transverse distribution of the pump laser descends. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

  Source: Applied Optics  Volume: 51  Issue: 22  DOI: 10.1364/AO.51.005579  Published: August 1, 2012  
  Abstract:We theoretically propose phase matched terahertz (THz)-wave generation via degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) in a fiber optical parametric oscillator (FOPO) with our newly designed photonic crystal fiber (PCF). Perfect phase matching is realized when we locate the pump wavelength in the normal group-velocity dispersion (GVD) regime. The generated THz-wave can be tuned from 4.7578 to 5.9015 THz by varying the pump wavelength. Moreover, peak power of 27.38 W at 5.9015 THz with conversion efficiency of 1.37% is realized when the pump peak power of 2000 W is at 4.675 μm in our FOPO. © 2012 Optical Society of America.

  Abstract:The non-line-of-sight single scattering channel model is significantly simplified by means of a closed-form expression. Based on such an approximation, the relationship between visibility and path loss of the ultraviolet communication system is analyzed, and the result is accordance with that obtained from original model. Moreover, the simulations of bit-error-rate indicate that path loss of communication channel has a lowest value and data rates have a highest value under fixed BER requirements when visibility is a critical point. The data rates which meet the different BER requirements are in the same order of magnitude at a given visibility and distance. © 2012 IEEE.

  Abstract:Heavy metal containing fluoride tellurite glasses were prepared by different dehydration techniques and the effects of dehydration techniques on fluorescence spectral features, OH content and volatilization of the glass compositions were systematically studied by means of fluorescence spectral measurements FTIR and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer. Experimental results indicated that different dehydration induced difference in actual compositions of the glasses that resulted in the variation of their fluorescence spectral features, and melting the glass frits in close environment with mechanical stirring and simultaneous bubbling dry O2 + CCl4 mixture in a O2-rich environment was much more effective to remove the OH groups in the glass matrix, through which an OH absorption coefficient and absorption concentration could be efficiently reduced to as low as 1.09 cm - 1 and 1.17 × 1019 cm- 3, respectively. The low OH content contributed to the increase in fluorescence lifetime, and resulted in the improvement of gain characteristic. The bubbling time of dry O2 + CCl4 mixture was optimized via OH absorption concentration investigation. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

  Abstract:Single sideband modulation output is demonstrated by using of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and the Mach-Zehnder electro-optic modulator. Based on the microwave-sweeping single sideband modulation technique, a method to measure the characteristics of the fiber stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is proposed. It can be used to measure the Brillouin frequency shift together with the Brillouin gain spectrum effectively. The properties of the stimulated Brillouin scattering in a 50 m photonic crystal fiber are measured, where the Brillouin frequency shift is 9.7443 GHz, the linewidth of the Brillouin gain spectrum is 22.472 MHz, and the Brillouin gain coefficient is 7.874×10-12 m/W, respectively.
