Download or read book High Nonlinearity Optical Fiber Technology written by Ju Han Lee and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All-optical signal processing technology has been of high technical interest in the field of fibre-optic communication systems and networks, since it can provide the most powerful way to overcome the optical-to-electrical domain conversion-induced data traffic bottleneck. A variety of all-optical signal processing devices demonstrated to date are discussed in this book: for example, wavelength converters, optical demultiplexers, noise rejection filters, amplifiers, clock recovery subsystems, and data regenerators. Those devices are mostly based on the non-linear optical properties of optical waveguide media such as optical fibres and semiconductor active devices. The two main forms of non-linear effect used are Kerr non-linear effects and inelastic non-linear scattering effects (i.e. Raman and Brillouin scattering). Kerr non-linear effects including self-phase modulation, cross-phase modulation, and four-wave mixing are due to the response of the bound electrons in a non-linear optical medium to an intense optical field, whereas Raman and Brillouin scattering effects are caused by the presence of vibrational states of atoms in the optical medium. In this book, the ultimate potential of state-of-the-art highly non-linear optical fibre technologies are reviewed from a perspective of practical implementation of all-optical signal processing devices for fibre optic communication systems. Due to the fact that the ultra-high non-linearity fiber technologies offer significant advantages in terms of reduced length, reduced power requirements for the realisation of a variety of all-optical signal processing devices, the compactness and stability issue of fibre-based optical devices relative to semiconductor-based ones can be significantly improved. This review is focused on two state-of-the-art ultra-high non-linearity optical fibres such as photonic crystal fibre (PCF) and Bismuth oxide-based step index type non-linear optical fibres, which are considered to be the most promising fibres among various kinds of non-linear optical fibre. Also presented are basics on optical fibre non-linearities to help the readers understand its main contents. In addition, nonlinearity efficiency comparison results for various types of commercially available, state-of-the-art non-linear fibre are presented in terms of various definitions of Kerr non-linearity figure-of-merit to provide critical information with regard to optimum optical fibre structure and material for the best Kerr nonlinearity efficiency.

Download or read book Ultra Broadly Tunable Light Sources Based on the Nonlinear Effects in Photonic Crystal Fibers written by Lei Zhang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines laser generation from the ultraviolet to the short edge of the mid-infrared band by exploiting the nonlinear effects in photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). Several different physical mechanisms are investigated by using homemade PCFs with elaborately customized dispersion profiles. A particular focus is on the development of fiber optical parametric amplifiers (FOPAs) and oscillators (FOPOs) based on the PCFs with a zero-dispersion wavelength of ca.1.06 μm. In particular, several schemes are proposed for solving the key problems involved in the application of FOPOs. These oscillators can be made more convenient to use by optimizing the wavelength-tuning mechanisms and made more energy-efficient with the help of specially designed cavity structures. Today’s oscillators are more reliable, powerful and maneuverable than ever. This thesis provides a systematic road map in connection with the study of nonlinear wavelength generation in PCFs, from their fiber design and technical fabrication, to their physical mechanism and experimental investigation.

Download or read book Advances in Optical Amplifiers written by Paul Urquhart and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical amplifiers play a central role in all categories of fibre communications systems and networks. By compensating for the losses exerted by the transmission medium and the components through which the signals pass, they reduce the need for expensive and slow optical-electrical-optical conversion. The photonic gain media, which are normally based on glass- or semiconductor-based waveguides, can amplify many high speed wavelength division multiplexed channels simultaneously. Recent research has also concentrated on wavelength conversion, switching, demultiplexing in the time domain and other enhanced functions. Advances in Optical Amplifiers presents up to date results on amplifier performance, along with explanations of their relevance, from leading researchers in the field. Its chapters cover amplifiers based on rare earth doped fibres and waveguides, stimulated Raman scattering, nonlinear parametric processes and semiconductor media. Wavelength conversion and other enhanced signal processing functions are also considered in depth. This book is targeted at research, development and design engineers from teams in manufacturing industry, academia and telecommunications service operators.
