光子晶体光纤中布里渊散射声波模式特性的分析

Study on characteristics of acoustic modes via stimulated Brillouin scattering in photonic crystal fiber

推导了光子晶体光纤中声波微小位移波动方程;研究了泵浦波长以及纤芯折射率对声波模式的影响;应用石英圆柱模型研究了小芯径光子晶体光纤中纤芯直径对布里渊声波模式色散的影响.结果表明在光子晶体光纤中,纵向声波和横向声波共同作用产生质点声场,两者相互耦合将产生混合声波模式;可以通过改变泵浦波长或光子晶体光纤纤芯折射率来改变参与布里渊散射(BS)过程的声波模式的传播常数;随着光子晶体光纤(PCF)纤芯直径的增大,声波模式耦合程度得到加强,相速度呈减小趋势,且同一传播常数下,声波模式数呈增多趋势;随着泵浦波频率的增大,声波相速度减小.

The effects of optical fiber parameters, pump wavelength and the fiber core refractive index in small-core photonic crystal fibers on characteristics of acoustic modes and the dependency of the acoustic modes coupling are investigated by the effective index method. The results indicate that both the mixed longitudinal acoustic mode and transverse acoustic mode jointly produce the acoustic fields, and their coupling forms the mixed acoustic mode; the propagation constant of acoustic mode can be changed by tailoring the pump wavelength or the PCF core refractive index in the process of SBS; the acoustic mode coupling increase and the phase velocity of the acoustic mode decreases with the increase of the PCF core diameter, and there is also a growing trend of the number of the acoustic modes at the same propagation constant. The velocity decreases with the increase of the frequency of the pump wave.
