Generation of non return to zero (NRZ) optical signal from the transmitter for 110 km error-free single mode fiber (SMF) transmission at 10 Gb/s with bit error rate (BER) of 10-30 in the absence of the external modulator and encoder was proposed. Effects of super-Gaussian and Butterworth optical filters at VCSEL output were demonstrated to maximize performance of SMF optical systems without need of any dispersion compensation technique.展开更多

It can realize demodulation of distributed fiber Bragg grating(FBG) measurement system. Its scanning resolution and scanning period depend on wavelet function. Wavelet function is controlled by computer. Compared to conventional scan filter, optical wavelet filtering has some advantages such as simple structure, high scan frequency, high resolution and good linearity. At last, the error of optical wavelet filter scanning procedure is analyzed. Scanning step length refers to the shifting of optical wavelet window's central frequency. It affects system precision directly. If scanning step length is different, the measured signal is different. The methods of reducing step length guarantee scanning periodic time are presented.展开更多

It is composed of eight mirrors and two nested prism pairs. Each prism and the two mirrors behave as a RC. Phase shift of RC is a periodic function of the frequency of the input light which acts as a phase dispersive mirror. The two phase shifts needed to achieve a flat-top spectral passband are provided by Fresnel reflectivities at the prism-air interface of the two RCs. The optimum interface reflectivities for flat passband, high isolation and low dispersion can be obtained only by choosing an appropriate material for the prism in each RC. The proposed interleaver in a 25 GHz channel spacing application exhibits a 0.5 dB passband greater than 24 GHz (96% of the spacing), a 30 dB stopband greater than 21.2 GHz (84.8% of the spacing), a channel isolation higher than 32 dB and chromatic dispersion ±50 ps/nm within the range of center-frequency :t:2 GHz ITU passband.展开更多

As the radius of the pillar increases, the transmission properties experience a complex evolution. It is found that the magnetic dipole resonance of the pillar suppresses the surface plasmon polariton resonance (SPPR) at the gold-air interface. There are two strong transmission peaks associated with the magnetic dipole resonance of pillar and SPPR at the gold-silica interface. A peak associated with magnetic quadrupole resonance of the pillar is observed. Moreover, there is a weak peak associated with the coupling between the whispering-gallery plasmon (WGP) mode and magnetic dipole. Our work is helpful for making a dual band optical filter.展开更多

In the structure, two microresonators with a qubit are used to connect the drop waveguide and the bus waveguide with a reflector. By tuning the system parameters, multiple wavelengths with high drop efficiencies in two output channels of the drop waveguide are obtained. As the reflector is independent on its exact location, and one drop waveguide with two drop channels saves the integrated space, this may suggest a potential filtering device which functions in photonic integrated circuits and dense wavelength division multiplexing communication.展开更多

By adjusting the system parameters, the crosstalk effect of the multiple channel frequencies is suppressed, and multiple peak frequencies with high drop efficiencies in these output ports are achieved. As the 2 × 2 model is scalable, the proposed structure can provide potential applications in designing scalable optical devices.
文摘A novel double-channel drop filter of single photons with only a drop waveguide is proposed. In the structure, two microresonators with a qubit are used to connect the drop waveguide and the bus waveguide with a reflector. By tuning the system parameters, multiple wavelengths with high drop efficiencies in two output channels of the drop waveguide are obtained. As the reflector is independent on its exact location, and one drop waveguide with two drop channels saves the integrated space, this may suggest a potential filtering device which functions in photonic integrated circuits and dense wavelength division multiplexing communication.

文摘Selective absorptive nanofluid can pre-absorb certain sunlight wavelength that cannot be used by PV and transmits remaining sunlight to the surface of PV,which can decouple PV from the thermal receiver spatially.In order to improve the harvesting of electricity and high-temperature thermal nanofluid,it is important to design an optimal optical filter window(transmit sunlight with wavelengths of 732-1067 nm to the surface of the photovoltaic cell and absorb the remaining sunlight).However,designing optimal optical filter is facing following challenges:(1) inherently narrow selective absorptivity property of single nanoparticle;(2) simplified numerical calculation method calculating transmittance;(3) ignoring the shape of the nanoparticle.In this study,the idea of using multiple nanoparticles coupling effect to design an optical filter is proposed,which can superimpose the narrow absorption bandwidth of different nanoparticles to obtain a wide absorption bandwidth of the whole system.In addition,an improved transmission method considering light-matter interaction at air/vessel and liquid/vessel interfaces is adopted to compute the transmittance.The results calculated by improved transmission method are more accurate than widely used traditional Lambert-Beer law,which is verified by experimental test.Furthermore,the effect of nanoparticle shape on spectral transmittance is also investigated,which shows that spiny Ag can approximately extend absorbance from 400 nm to 600 nm compared to nanosphere silver.Finally,the results show that optical filter efficiency of nanofluids with multiple nanoparticles coupling(Ag,spiny Ag,ZnO,ITO) can reached up to 35%.

文摘A new holographic-moirè method is presented to obtain the in-plane strain fringe patterns. During the recording,double object beams and dual reference beams of orthogonally polarized state are used to illuminate the object and the holographic plate,respectively.Two carriers modulated by deformation are obtained through double-exposure or in real time.Pure in-plane displacement derivative patterns are then obtained through twice filtering.

文摘Transparent electro-optic(EO)ceramics of La-doped 0.75Pb(Mg_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_(3)-0.25PbTiO_(3)(0.75PMN-0.25PT)were prepared successfully.High transparency of 69%in the near-infrared(IR)wavelength(1550 nm)was achieved at 2 mo1%La doping,meanwhile it shows an extremely high quadratic EO coeficient of 45.4×10^(-16)m^(2)·V^(-2),which s indispensable for applications in EO devices.The distribution of a polar nanodomain structure of the samples experiences disorder-order-disorder evolution in a La doping range.It is found that a parallelly-stacked polar nanodomain structure with an easier and faster polarization switching in the 2 mol%La-doped sample suggests that an ordering distribution of polar nanoregions would be critical to inducing large EO effect,transparency,and piezoelectric response.A triple-cavity tunable optical filter(TOF)with a single transmission peak and a tuning voltage below 30 V in a tuning range of 190-197 THz was designed based on our ceramics.The work is believed to bridge the relationship among doping-engineering,EO properties,and polarization behavior,which would guide the further optimization of transparent EO ceramics.
