光波导位相调制技术产生多波长光源

用Matlab软件模拟分析了高频光波导电光位相调制器的输出光谱特性。结果表明,在一定频率的微波源作用下,单色光通过光波导位相调制器后会产生光频谱展宽,展宽光谱中包括中心波长及各阶光边波带。随位相调制深度加大,边波带数目增多,光谱展宽增大;位相调制深度为3.3时,10dB展宽光谱中含边波带数为8个。实验制作了光波长1.55μm、微波频率10GHz的铌酸锂电光波导位相调制器;输出光谱中可清楚观察到正负三阶等频率间隔的边波带,即可实现七路光源输出,由此提出并验证了光波导位相调制技术用作多波长光源的可能性。利用位相调制器的光频谱展开得到多波长光源,具有成本低、易实现、促进系统集成等优点,有良好的应用前景。

Design,Fabrication,and Testing of Single-Side Alignment of 16×0.8nm Arrayed-Waveguide Grating

A novel design of 100GHz-spaced 16channel arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) based on silica-on-silicon chip is reported.AWG is achieved by adding a Y-branch to the AWG and arranging the input/output channel in a neat row,so the whole configuration can be aligned and packaged using only one fiber-array.This configuration can decrease the device’s size,enlarge the minimum radius of curvature,save time on polishing and alignment,and reduce the chip’s fabrication cost.

Simultaneous measurement of phase retardation and optic axis of wave plates

A simple method used for simultaneous measurement of phase retardation and optic axis of wave plate by employing 1/4 wave plate is demonstrated. The theoretical analysis of the measuring principle is presented in detail. In the measurement, after adjusting a standard 1/4 wave plate and the fast (slow) axis of the plate to be measured parallel to the pass axis of the polarizer, the plate to be measured is rotated by 450 counterclockwisly. A stepping motor is used to rotate the analyzer. The experimental data are collected by a photodetector and then sent to a computer. According to the output data curve, the phase retardation and optic axis of the plate to be measured can be obtained simultaneously. To test the feasibility of the method, a λ /2 and a λ /8 wave plates are used as examples to demonstrate the measurement procedures. The phase retardation measurement accuracy is better than 0.5×10-2. This method can be used to measure the arbitrary phase retardation conveniently.

Investigation of all-optical regeneration based on self-phase modulation in microstructured fibers

All-optical regeneration based on self-phase modulation in microstructured fibers is studied. The effects of pulse peak power into the fiber, pulse width and filter parameters on the performance of the regenerator are investigated. The effects of normal dispersion and anomalous dispersion of the microstructured fiber on optical regeneration are compared. The nu- merical results show that optical regeneration can be achieved by using microstructured fibers with normal dispersion or anomalous dispersion, but the normal dispersion decreases the oscillatory structure in the broadened spectra and obtain a better regenerator transfer function. In order to achieve optical regeneration, the input peak power into the microstructured fiber and the filter parameters need to meet certain requirements. By optimizing those parameters, a better regeneration result can be obtained.

Enhancement effect of phase-conjugate waves of third order nonlinear medium in the Bragg microcavity

The enhancement effect of the phase-conjugate wave produced by a third order nonlinear optical medium in a （AB）^N （D）^2 （BA）^N Bragg microcavity made of one-dimensional photonic crystals is studied. The gain factor of the phase-conjugate wave is derived when the resonance condition is satisfied by the incident optical wave and the Bragg microcavity mode. Because of stronger resonance enhancement to incident pump beam given by the Bragg microcavity, the enhancement effect of the phase-conjugate wave produced by a third order nonlinear optical medium inside Bragg microcavity is more outstanding than that caused by the naked third order nonlinear optical medium. The theoretical analysis and the numerical calculation show the Bragg microcavity with larger number N of periods is identical with a Fabry-Perot cavity when the resonance condition is satisfied by the incident optical wave and the Bragg microcavity mode.

Microwave photonic bandpass filter based on spectrum-slicing and phase modulator

A tunable microwave photonic bandpass filter with high mainlobe-to-sidelobe ratio (MSR) based on a phase modulator and a dispersive device is proposed. The multi-tap characteristics of the filter are realized by slicing a broadband source using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) which results in a high MSR of 25 dB. The tunability of the filter is realized by an optical variable delay line (OVDL) in one arm of the MZI, which changes the wavelength spacing of the sliced broadband source and results in a tunable free spectrum range (FSR) of the filter. The central frequency of the bandpass filter is tunable from 10.7 GHz to 27 GHz by changing the wavelength spacing from 0.145 nm to 0.054 nm.

Controllable synthesis and spontaneous phase transition of photonic coordination polymer to produce a strong second-harmonic generation response

Herein,a novel photonic coordination polymer material was constructed by aggregation-induced emission luminogen(AIEgen)containing a tripyridyl moiety used as the linking ligand.It displayed a spontaneous direct centrosymmetric to noncentrosymmetric phase transition in a single crystal.The two crystals,before and after the phase transition,were both controllably synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.After being exposed to air,the centrosymmetric metastable phase(1-α)transitioned to a new stable phase with a noncentrosymmetric structure(1-β).Interestingly,the 1-βstructure exhibited a strong phasematching second-harmonic generation(SHG)response,about4.5 times higher than that of KH2PO4(KDP).In order to better understand the relationship between the structure and the nonlinear optical properties,the dipole moments were calculated and discussed.Remarkably,the noncentrosymmetric phase with high thermal stability for 1-βretained and improved the initial photoluminescent properties of the AIEgen ligand after the structural phase transition from 1-α,and simultaneously produced the excellent SHG property,which are beneficial for the design and construction of excellent optical materials.

A wavelength division multiplexer based on plastic surface-relief grating applied to local area communication network

A plastic surface-relief grating as a wavelength division multiplexer is designed and fabricated with the conventional mould pressing technique using the transmission-type fused quartz phase grating as mask pattern and polycarbonate as basal material.The experiment results show that in an optimizing process,the plastic surface-relief grating has the highest firstorder diffraction efficiency under adequate groove depth and incident angle,and can be used as the best optical path for wavelength division multiplexing(WDM).We also establish the experiment setup for testing the WDM performance of the plastic surface-relief grating based wavelength division multiplexer.The results show that the proposed wavelength division multiplexer has the high-stability temperature characteristics,the low insertion loss of less than 5 dB,the large isolation of greater than 20 dB,the low polarization-dependent loss(PDL) of less than 0.4 dB and the relatively steep pass-band characteristics.It is a WDM device with good performance,which can be applied in short distance communication.
