Polarization-Insensitive Silica on Silicon Arrayed Waveguide Grating Design

A new technology for fabrication of silica on silicon arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) based on deep etching and thermal oxidation is presented.Using this method,a silicon layer is remained at the side of waveguide.The stress distribution and effective refractive index of waveguide fabricated by this approach are calculated using finite element and finite difference beam propagation method,respectively.The results of these studies indicate that the stress of silica on silicon optical waveguide can be matched in parallel and vertical direction and AWG polarization dependent wavelength (PDλ) can be reduced effectively due to side-silicon layer.

A temperature sensor based on switchable dual- wavelength fiber Bragg grating laser with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror

A temperature sensor based on a switchable dual-wavelength fiber Bragg grating （FBG） laser with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror （SESAM） is presented and demonstrated experimentally. The repetition rate of Q-switched pulses is -17 kHz. The results demonstrate that the measured temperature has good linearity to the wavelength spacing of the two lasing wavelengths and has a temperature sensitivity of 21 pm/℃ covering a range of-10--22 ℃. The ex- perimental results prove the feasibility of the proposed temperature sensor.

Dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser with asymmetric fiber Bragg grating Fabry-Perot cavity

A novel dual-wavelength fiber laser with asymmetric fiber Bragg grating(FBG) Fabry-Perot(FP) cavity is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A couple of uniform FBGs are used as the cavity mirrors, and the third FBG is used as intracavity wavelength selector by changing its operation temperature. Experimental results show that by adjusting the operation temperature of the intracavity wavelength selector, a tunable dual-wavelength laser emission can be achieved. The results demonstrate the new concept of dual-wavelength lasing with asymmetric FBG FP resonator and its technical feasibility.

A tunable dual-wavelength fiber Bragg grating laser using an external-injected DFB laser

A tunable dual-wavelength fiber Bragg grating(FBG)laser based on a distributed feedback(DFB)laser injection is proposed and experimentally demonstrated.The wavelength spacing can be tuned by adjusting the operation temperature of the DFB laser.When the DFB works at 25℃,a dual-wavelength simultaneous oscillation at 1 549.67 nm and1 553.44 nm with wavelength spacing of 3.77 nm is achieved.Our experimental results demonstrate the new concept of dual-wavelength lasing with a DFB laser injection and the technical feasibility.

Switchable dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser with tunable wavelength

A switchable dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser(EDFL) with tunable wavelength is demonstrated. The ring cavity consists of two branches with a fiber Bragg grating(FBG) and a spherical-shape structure as fiber filters, respectively. By adjusting the variable optical attenuator(VOA), the laser can be switched between the single-wavelength mode and the dual-wavelength mode. The spherical-shape structure has good sensitivity to the temperature. When the temperature changes from 30 °C to 190 °C, the central wavelength of the EDFL generated by the branch of spherical-shape structure varies from 1 551.6 nm to 1 561.8 nm, which means that the wavelength interval is tunable.
