Effects of walk-off on cross-phase modulation induced modulation instability in an optical fibre with high-order dispersion

This paper investigates the effects of walk-off among optical pulses on cross-phase modulation induced modulation instability in the normal dispersion region of an optical fibre with high-order dispersion. The results indicate that, in the case of high-order dispersion, the walk-off effect takes on new characteristics and will influence considerably the shape, position and especially the number of the spectral regions of the gain spectra of modulation instability. Not only the group-velocity mismatch, but also the difference of the third-order dispersion of two optical waves will alter the gain spectra of modulation instability but in different ways. Depending on the values of the walk-off parameters, the number of the spectral regions may increase from two to at most four, and the spectral shape and position may change too.

Supercontinuum Generation Enhanced by Cross-phase Modulation in Dispersion-flattened and Decreasing Fiber

Supercontinuum spectrum generation in a dispersion-flattened and decreasing fiber with two orthogonally polarized pulses was simulated and calculated. The research results indicated that the supercontinuum spectrum generated by two orthogonally polarized pulses is wider and flatter than that generated by single polarized pulse due to cross-phase modulation. The cross-phase modulation effect can enhance the supercontinuum spectrum generation. When the pump power of the input pulse is lower, the enhancement of supercontinuum spectrum generation by cross-phase modulation effect is more significant.

Cross-phase modulation instability in optical fibres with exponential saturable nonlinearity and high-order dispersion

Utilizing the linear-stability analysis, this paper analytically investigates and calculates the condition and gain spectra of cross-phase modulation instability in optical fibres in the ease of exponential saturable nonlinearity and high-order dispersion. The results show that, the modulation instability characteristics here are similar to those of conventional saturable nonlinearity and Kerr nonlinearity. That is to say, when the fourth-order dispersion has the same sign as that of the second-order one, a new gain spectral region called the second one which is far away from the zero point may appear. The existence of the exponential saturable nonlinearity will make the spectral width as well as the peak gain of every spectral region increase with the input powers before decrease. Namely, for every spectral regime, this may lead to a unique value of peak gain and spectral width for two different input powers. In comparison with the case of conventional saturable nonlinearity, however, when the other parameters are the same, the variations of the spectral width and the peak gain with the input powers will be faster in case of exponential saturable nonlinearity.

Transverse manipulation of particles using Bessel beam of tunable size generated by cross-phase modulation

We report on a method to achieve multiple microscopic particles being trapped and manipulated transversely by using a size-tunable Bessel beam generated by cross-phase modulation(XPM)based on the thermal nonlinear optical effect.The results demonstrate that multiple polystyrene particles can be stably trapped simultaneously,and the number of the trapped particles can be controlled by varying the trapping beam power.In addition,the trapped particles can be manipulated laterally with micron-level precision by changing the size of J_(0)Bessel beam.This work provides a simple but efficient way to trap and manipulate multiple particles simultaneously,which would have potential applications in many fields such as cell sorting and transportation.

Channel Capacity of DWDM Networks with Cross-phase Modulation Effect

In dense wavelength division multiplexing(DWDM) optical transmission systems, cross phase modulation(XPM) due to Kerr effect causes phase shift and intensity modulation in each channel, which will lead the channel capacity to be a random variable. An expression of the channel capacity dealing with XPM effect is presented, and the correctness and accuracy of this method are demonstrated by numerical simulation.

Switchable instantaneous frequency measurement by optical power monitoring based on DP-QPSK modulator

We propose and analyze an instantaneous frequency measurement system by using optical power monitoring technique with improved resolution.The primary component adopted in the proposal is a dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying(DP-QPSK) modulator which is used to modulate the microwave signal that has a designed time delay and phase shifting.The generated optical signal is sent to polarization beam splitter(PBS) in DP-QPSK modulator.Owing to the complementary transmission nature of polarization interference introduced by PBS,the frequency information is converted into the optical power and the relationship between the amplitude comparison function(ACF) and microwave frequency to be measured is established.Thus,the frequency of the microwave signal can be easily measured through monitoring the optical powers of the two output ports of the PBS.Furthermore,by adjusting the direct current(DC) biases of the DP-QPSK modulator instead of changing the electrical delay,the measurement range and resolution can be switched.In this paper,the basic principle of the instantaneous frequency measurement system is derived in detail,and simulation has been performed to investigate the resolution,the measurement range,and the influence of imperfection devices.The proposed scheme is wavelength-independent and its measurement range is switchable,which can avoid the laser wavelength drifting problem and thus greatly increasing the system flexibility.

Digital modulation recognition based on instantaneous information

A new digital modulation recognition algorithm based on the instantaneous information is proposed to improve the recognition success rate in the low signal noise ratio （SNR）. First denoising of the instantaneous information is optimized by wavelet filter, which can improve the recognition ability at low SNR. Besides the existing 3 key feature parameters, 3 new key feature parameters are proposed to be used as the decision criteria for identifying different types of digital modulation, which simplifies the recognition process and improves the recognition ability at low SNR. The simulations demonstrate that all modulation types of interest have been classified with success rate of no lower than 99 % when SNR is 10dB. Even if the SNR is lower than 5 dB, the success rate is over 95.4% for most of the modulation types.

Enhanced soliton-effect pulse compression by cross-phase modulation in optical fibers

A new method is proposed to enhance the soliton-effect compression of optical pulses. It consists of copropagating two optical pulses with close wavelengths in the anomalous group-velocity dispersion regime of single-mode fibers. Numerical simulations show that, as compared with the traditional single pulse compression method, cross-phase modulation can not only dramatically increase the compression ratio but also decrease the optimum fiber length. The effects of initial pulse-width mismatch, Raman self-scattering, and pulse walk-off on the pulse compression are also discussed.

Enhanced Cross-Phase Modulation via Phase Control in a Quantum dot Nanostructure

A four-level quantum dot (QD) nanostructure interacting with four fields (two weak near-infrared (NIR) pulses and two control fields) forms the well-known double-cascade configuration.We investigate the cross-phase modulation (XPM) between the two NIR pulses.The results show,in such a closed-loop scheme,that the XPM can be greatly enhanced,while the linear absorption and two-photon absorption (gain) can be efficiently depressed by tuning the relative phase among the applied fields.This protocol may have potential applications in NIR all-optical switch design and quantum information processing with the solid-state materials.

Evolution of Hyperbolic-Secant Pulses Towards Cross-Phase Modulation Induced Optical Wave Breaking and Soliton or Soliton Trains Generation in Quintic Nonlinear Fibers

The approximate analytical frequency chirps and the critical distances for cross-phase modulation induced optical wave breaking(OWB) of the initial hyperbolic-secant optical pulses propagating in optical fibers with quintic nonlinearity(QN) are presented. The pulse evolutions in terms of the frequency chirps, shapes and spectra are numerically calculated in the normal dispersion regime. The results reveal that, depending on different QN parameters, the traditional OWB or soliton or soliton pulse trains may occur. The approximate analytical critical distances are found to be in good agreement with the numerical ones only for the traditional OWB whereas the approximate analytical frequency chirps accords well with the numerical ones at the initial evolution stages of the pulses.

Study on self-frequency-shift of femtosecond pulse in nonlinear dispersion medium using time-resolved cross-phase modulation method

A time-resolved cross-phase modulation method combined with a modified nonlinear Schrodinger equation is used to study the effects of nonlinear response time on the propagation of ultrashort pulses in nonlinear dispersion media. Evolution of cross-phase modulation spectrum with the different time delay between the probe pulse and pump pulse is simulated using split-step Fourier method. It is shown that both normal self-frequency-shift-red-shift and abnormal self-frequency-shift-blue-shift can occur in the frequency domain for the probe pulse, and a satisfactory theoretical interpretation is given.

Memory-enhanced noiseless cross-phase modulation

Large nonlinearity at the single-photon level can pave the way for the implementation of universal quantum gates.However,realizing large and noiseless nonlinearity at such low light levels has been a great challenge for scientists in the past decade.Here,we propose a scheme that enables substantial nonlinear interaction between two light fields that are both stored in an atomic memory.Semiclassical and quantum simulations demonstrate the feasibility of achieving large cross-phase modulation(XPM)down to the single-photon level.The proposed scheme can be used to implement parity gates from which CNOT gates can be constructed.Furthermore,we present a proof of principle experimental demonstration of XPM between two optical pulses:one stored and one freely propagating through the memory medium.
