Characteristics of Bragg Gratings in All-Solid Photonic Bandgap Fiber

We report on fiber Bragg gratings in all-solid photonie bandgap fiber that was composed of a triangular array of high-index Ge-doped rods in pure silica background with fluorine-doped index-depressed layer surrounding the Ge-doped rod. Fiber Bragg gratings were photowritten with 193 nm ArF excimer laser and characterized for their response to strain, temperature, bending, and torsion. These gratings couple light from the forward core mode to not only backward core mode but also backward rod modes. This results in multiple resonance peaks in the reflection spectrum. All resonance wavelengths exhibited the same temperature and strain response with coefficient similar to that of Bragg gratings in standard single-mode fiber. The strength of the resonance peaks corresponding to the backward rod modes showed high sensitivity to bending and torsion.

Mode converter based on dual-core all-solid photonic bandgap fiber

In this paper, we present a mode-selective coupler based on a dual-core all-solid photonic bandgap fiber（AS-PBGF）. Because they are all-solid, AS-PBGF-based mode converters are easier to splice to other fibers than those based on air-hole photonic crystal fibers. Mode conversions between the LP01 and LP11modes, LP01 and LP21modes, and LP01 and LP02modes are obtained at the wavelength λ=1550 nm. The 3 dB wavelength bandwidth of these mode converters are 47.8,20.3, and 20.3 nm, respectively.

Spectrally U-shaped profile of beam propagation factor in all-solid photonic bandgap fiber

We found the beam quality factor M^(2)of the fundamental mode as a function of wavelength is U-shaped in the working photonic bandgap(PBG) of an all-solid PBG fiber(AS-PBGF) for the first time,to the best of our knowledge,and our simulation results also match well with the phenomenon.The normal band that is near the high-frequency edge of the third PBG integrates the lowest M^(2)and single-mode operation simultaneously,while the other two edge regions suffer from anomalous variation of M^(2)versus wavelength.The general applicability of this finding can be further extended to other PBGs and also other representative structures in the AS-PBGF field.

Effect of single point defects on the confinement losses of air-guiding photonic bandgap fibers

The confinement losses in air-guiding photonic bandgap fibers （PBGFs） with air hole missing are studied with the full-vector finite-element method. It is confirmed that there are two loss peaks （1.555 and 1.598 μm） if there is a hole missing in the cladding far from the core. The closer to the core the hole missing is, the larger the confinement losses are, and even no mode could propagate in the core. The main power of the fundamental mode leaks from the core to the cladding defect. The quality of PBGFs can be improved through controlling the number and position of defects.

Applied electric field to fabricate colloidal crystals with the photonic band-gap in communication waveband

The macropore silica colloidal crystal templates were assembled orderly in a capillary glass tube by an applied electric field method to control silica deposition. In order to achieve the photonic band gap （PBG） of colloidal crystal in optical communication waveband, the diameter of silica microspheres is selected by Bragg diffraction formula. An experiment was designed to test the bandgap of the silica crystal templates. This paper discusses the formation process and the close-packed fashion of the silica colloidal crystal templates was discussed. The surface morphology of the templates was also analyzed. The results showed that the close-packed fashion of silica array templates was face-centered cubic （FCC） structure： The agreement is very good between the experimental data and the theoretical calculation.

The relative index step between the high-index rods and the background glass was -0.5%, which is the lowest cladding index difference reported on rare-earth-doped all-solid photonic bandgap fibers to our knowledge. An output power of 3.6 W with a slope efficiency of 31- was obtained for a 100-cm-long fiber.

光子带隙光纤背向散射次波建模及实验验证

光子带隙光纤有着独特的结构形式、传输介质和导光机制,这使其具有传统光纤无法比拟的优点,是未来光纤陀螺的理想选择。但光子带隙光纤粗糙的纤芯内壁导致其产生强烈的背向散射次波,会使光子带隙光纤陀螺产生额外的非互易误差。为了定量分析光子带隙光纤背向散射次波强度大小,论文基于电偶极子辐射理论建立了一种简单的光子带隙光纤背向散射次波理论模型。通过聚焦离子束微纳加工法和原子力显微镜测量得到了准确的纤芯内壁表面形貌功率谱密度,进而计算得到HC-1550-02型光子带隙光纤背向散射系数理论值为2.61×10^(-9)/mm。通过光频域背向反射散射仪得到HC-1550-02型光子带隙光纤背向散射系数测量值为~1.82×10^(-9)/mm,初步验证了背向散射次波模型的正确性,为背向散射次波抑制技术研究奠定了基础。

An investigation of numerical aperture of air-core photonic bandgap fiber

Air-core photonic bandgap fiber(PBF)is the perfect choice of the next-generation fiber optical gyroscope(FOG),with excellent temperature,electromagnetism and radiation adaptability.Numerical aperture is an important optical parameter of PBF for application in FOG.The PBF’s maximum theoretical numerical aperture(NAmax)is calculated and compared with the far-field numerical aperture(NAeff)through experiments.The result indicates that the relationship between NAmax and NAeff has much stronger dependence on wavelength than that of the conventional fiber,and they get close at wavelengths near the middle of the photonic bandgap with the error less than 5%.Furthermore,photonic bandgap fiber optical gyroscope(PBFOG)with no fusion splicing points is proposed,and the optimization method and results of the PBF’s structure parameters for application in PBFOG are given from the aspect of numerical aperture.

Improved gas sensor with air-core photonic bandgap fiber

The propagation loss of a fiber can be increased by coupling core mode and surface mode which will deteriorate the performance of photonic bandgap fiber （PBGF）. In this paper, we presented an aircore PBGF for gas sensing applications. By designing A = 2.63 μm, d = 0.95 A, and Reore= 1.13 A, where A is the distance between the adjacent air holes, the fiber was single-mode, no surface mode was supported with fiber, and more than 90% of the optical power was confined in the core. Furthermore, with optimizing the fiber structural parameters, at wavelength of 2 = 1.55 μm that is in acetylene gas absorption line, significant relative sensitivity of 92.5%, and acceptable confinement loss of 0.09 dB/m, were simultaneously achieved.

Long Period Fiber Gratings Written in Photonic Crystal Fibers by Use of CO2 Laser

Photonic crystal fibers are usually divided into two different types of fibers： solid-core photonic crystal fibers （PCFs） and air-core photonic bandgaps fibers （PBFs）. We presented the fabrication methods and applications of long period fiber gratings （LPFGs） written in these two types of photonic crystal fibers by use of a CO2 laser. A stain sensor with a high sensitivity was demonstrated by use of an LPFG written in solid-core PCFs. An in-fiber polarizer based on an LPFG was fabricated by use of a focused CO2 laser beam to notch periodically on a PCF. A novel LPFG was written in an air-core PBF by use of a CO2 laser to collapse periodically air holes in the fiber cladding.
