In this paper, a dynamic optical arbitrary waveform generator(OAWG) based on cross phase modulation(XPM) is proposed. According to the characteristics of XPM, the nonlinear phase shift of signal can be changed along with the pump power. The amplitude of signal can be changed by controlling the phase shift at one arm of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI) using XPM effect between signal and pump. Therefore, the phase and amplitude of the optical frequency comb(OFC) can be controlled by two pump arrays. As a result, different kinds of waveforms can be synthesized. Due to the ultrafast response of XPM, the generated waveform could be dynamically updated with an ultrafast frequency. The waveform fidelity is affected by the updating frequency.
An optical modulation format generation scheme based on spectral filtering and frequency-to-time mapping is experimentally demonstrated. Many modulation formats with continuously adjustable duty radio and bit rate can be formed by changing the dispersion of dispersion element and the bandwidth of shaped spectrum in this scheme. In the experiment, non-return-to-zero(NRZ) signal with bit rate of 29.41 Gbit/s and 1/2 duty ratio return-to-zero(RZ) signal with bit rate of 13.51 Gbit/s are obtained. The maximum bit rate of modulation format signal is also analyzed.
设计了一种一次性制备双边调制布拉格波导光栅的新方法。通过周期性改变波导的宽度实现波导光栅的空间调制,其优势是利用波导的制备工艺将波导及光栅一次性制备,工艺简单。基于转移矩阵理论,研究了该结构的波导光栅反射谱特性与波导宽度、波导宽度差、光栅占空比及波导宽度变化的形状的关系。结果表明,双边调制比皱阶调制3 d B带宽明显变大,最大反射率稍有增大。当波导宽度差不变时,随波导宽度增大,最大反射率和零值带宽都随之减小。当波导宽度不变时,随波导宽度差增大,最大反射率和零值带宽都随之增大。当波导宽度与波导宽度差均不变时,光栅占空比为1/2时最大反射率最高,零值带宽最大。且波导宽度差足够大时,可通过改变占空比来改变零值带宽。波导变化的形状对波导光栅的反射谱性能影响较小。
A simple structure optical fiber sensor for relative humidity(RH) and temperature measurement is proposed and verified in this paper, which is based on graphene oxide quantum dots and polyvinyl alcohol(GOQDs-PVA) composite coated tapered no-core fiber(NCF) combined with a fiber Bragg grating(FBG). FBG is insensitive to humidity and sensitive to temperature, which is used to compensate temperature of the sensor. Experimental results show this sensor has humidity sensitivity of 143.27 pm/%RH ranging from 30%RH to 80%RH and the temperature sensitivity of 9.21 pm/℃. The proposed sensor has advantages of simple structure, good repeatability, and good stability, which is expected to be used in both RH and temperature measurement in biological and chemical fields.
A band-pass microwave photonic filter(MPF)based on Lyot-Sagnac filter and two cascaded optical structures is demonstrated.In the experiment,a stabilized and tunable multi-wavelength optical source is obtained by slicing the broadband optical source(BOS)with a Lyot-Sagnac filter.A standard single-mode fiber(SMF)and a fiber ring resonator are cascaded to improve the mainlobe-to-sidelobe suppression ratio(MSSR)and Q-factor of the filter.The analysis shows that MSSR and Q-factor are improved by reducing the split ratio of the coupler or increasing the length of fiber in fiber ring resonator.The results have significant guidance for MPF design by choosing appropriate devices and parameters.Based on the analyses,a band-pass filter with MSSR of 53.54 dB and Q-factor of 4048 is achieved by choosing the split ratio of0.01,the length of SMF of 30 km and the length of fiber in fiber ring resonator of 152.27 cm.
A structure of optical arbitrary waveform generation(OAWG)based on an array of tunable apodized waveguide Bragg gratings(WBGs)is proposed.The WBGs array on lithium niobate(LN)consists of several apodized gratings,waveguides and electrodes deposited on both sides of gratings and waveguides.The properties of OAWG are analyzed using transfer matrix method.Due to the electro-optic effect of LN,the amplitude and phase of incident light source are controlled via adjusting the voltages on electrodes.Consequently,the optical pulses with different waveforms are obtained and the amplitude is linearly tuned.In addition,voltages compensating amplitude and phase distortion are demonstrated.
