It researches into the impacts of power level launched into highly nonlinear fibres, conversion wavelength, dispersion slope, modulation format and optical filter bandwidth on the overall performance of optical delay systems. The results reveal that, if the power launched into highly nonlinear fibres is fixed, the time delay generally varies linearly with the conversion wavelength, but jumps intermittently at some conversion wavelengths. However, the time delay varies semi-periodically with the power launched into highly nonlinear fibres. The dispersion slope of highly nonlinear fibres has significant influence on the time delay, especially for the negative dispersion slope. The time delay differs with modulation formats due to the different combined interaction of nonlinearity and dispersion in fibres. The bandwidth of the optical filters also greatly affects the time delay because it determines the bandwidth of the passed signal in the self phase modulation based time delay systems. The output signal quality of the overall time delay systems depends on the conversion wavelength and input power level. The optimisation of the power level and conversion wavelength to provide the best output signal quality is made at the end of this paper.展开更多

The electronic properties of dipolar molecule 4-trans-[p-（N, N-Di-n-butylamino）-p-stilbenylvinyl] pyridine （DBASVP） molecule, one-dimensional asymmetric organic molecule, is calculated by density functional theory at ab initio level. The numerical results show that the carrier propagation and the spectrum evolution of the pulse are sensitive to its initial phase and the phase sensitivity is more obvious for larger area pulse. The phase-dependent feature is more evident in dipolar molecule because the permanent dipole moment makes the nonlinear effects stronger.展开更多

A flat thin seal transparent cavity, one flank is an electromagnetic driving membrane and is filled over with transparent liquid. Vibration of the membrane makes the liquid compressing or stretching, changes the liquid layer thickness, i.e. the optical path length of light through the liquid layer. The liquid layer compressed is equivalent to increase membrane tension. The membrane has higher resonant frequency. The cavity diameter 10 mm modulation frequency is about 18 kHz.展开更多

A RbTiOPO4（RTP） electro-optic crystal is selected for effective optical path length modulation of the slave self-filtering unstable resonator. This single-frequency laser is capable of producing 50 m J pulse energy at 1 Hz repetition rate with a pulse width of 16 ns. The standard deviation of laser pulse intensity for consecutive 100 shots from the mean pulse intensity is less than 1.05%. A spectral linewidth of less than 0.5 pm with a frequency jitter of about 14 fm over30 min is obtained.展开更多

A physical model of the laser dynamics is established under the condition of optical feedback light with the SPM effect in the fiber path. A formula for frequency detuning of the optical dual-feedback under SPM is theoretically deduced. The results show that the nonlinear phase shift caused by SPM has an impact on the gain and bandwidth enhancement factor of the laser. The second-order nonlinear effect of the fiber enriches the variety of the amplitudes and phases of the laser while the nonlinear phase shift produces a number of new frequencies, which can spread the bandwidth. Numerical results reveal that with the SPM effect, the bandwidth can be enhanced 4 times more than the bandwidth without it, and the relaxation oscillation frequency of the chaotic laser is increased to 2.56 times more than that of the laser without the fiber path. The enhancement of the chaotic bandwidth can be extended by increasing the optical fiber length, the coupling-feedback ratio, the mirror reflectance and the second order nonlinear coefficient affect.展开更多
