The switch-off or switch-on power decreases with an increase in the nonlinear refractive index n2 （m2/W）, and the dependence of swith-off or switch-on power on the nonlinear refractive index was analyzed numerically. Simulation results showed that the switch-off power and switch-on power （in dBW） decreased linearly with loglo （n2） in a 100-m-length fiber ring resonator, when n2 changed from 3.2 ×10^-20 m2/W to 2.5 × 10^-17 m2/W or nearly n2 = 3.2 × 10^-20 m2/W. These mean that high accuracy as well as large-scale nonlinear refractive index measurement can be achieved by the proposed approach.展开更多

The system consists of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier （EDFA）, a semiconductor optical amplifier （SOA）, and a fiber ring resonator. The results show that the multisoliton generation with a free spectrum range of 2.4 nm and a pulse spectral width of 0.96 nm is achieved. The memory time of 15 min and the maximum soliton output power of 5.94 dBm are noted, respectively. This means that light pulses can be trapped, i.e., stopped optically within the fiber ring resonator.展开更多
