The butt-coupling between a semiconductor laser diode and a fiber Bragg grating external cavity acts a key roll on the laser characteristics. The scatter matrix method considering the butt-coupling efficiency is used to analyze the butt-coupling between them. It is found that the butt-coupling distance and coupling efficiency determine the laser characteristics. For strong feedback, the single lasing wavelength changes in the reflection bandwidth of the effective reflectivity (approximately the Bragg region of the fiber Bragg grating) as the distances change. For weak feedback condition, some different results are obtained. The SMSRs in the two conditions are presented and analyzed. These results can provide important design guidance of device parameters for the practical fabrication.

Based on an erbium-doped double pass backward (DPB) superfluorescent fiber source (SFS), by employing a improved Mach-zehnder interferometer filter (MZI) as spectrum slicing and spectrum pre-slicing component, respectively, two multi-wavelength superfluorescent fiber sources (MW SFSs) with channel spacing of ～0.8 nm are got. For the 20 channels around 1550 nm (from 1542 to 1559 nm), the power fluctuations are less than 0.5 dB. The extinction of the former is as high as 27 dB, and the latter is ～18dB. With the latter schematic, output power as high as 25.3 mW with pump efficiency of 34.8% is achieved under a limited 980 nm pump power of 72.8 mW. By changing the difference of the arms of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer filter, 50 channels around 1550 nm with spacing of ～0.4 nm are got, and the extinction is ～16 dB.

The effect of absorption in DBR and fused interface on the optical characteristics of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) has been analysed in detail by using optical transfer matrix method. The result shows that the absorption in DBR and fused interface has significant influence on both the reflectivity and the potential transmittivity of the DBR and the VCSEL, but has a weak effect on the phase change on reflection of the DBR at center wavelength and the mode phase change on reflection and mode position of the VCSEL.With the increase of the absorption in DBR and fused interface,the reflectivity of DBR at center wavelength decreases gradually,and the mode reflectivity of VCSEL decreases greatly to a minimum and then increases gradually,and the potential transmittivity of DBR at center wavelength and of VCSEL at mode wavelength reduce greatly respectively.Moreover, it is beneficial to increase the optical output efficiency of VCSELs to put the fused interface a little far away from the active reg

A first order quasi-phase-matched periodically poled micro-structure MgO∶LiNbO 3 for SHG with 4.8～5.2 μm period, 20 mm length, 18 mm width and 1 mm thickness has been successfully fabricated by applying an external field at room temperature. Because the switching field of MgO∶LiNbO 3 is ～5.5 kV/mm, which is approximately one fourth that of the conventional congruent field, periodic poling of thicker MgO∶LiNbO 3 substrates was successfully performed by means of an electric field poling process at room temperature. Using the sample to double the frequency of a diode laser at 980 nm was studied. About 40 mW of CW 490 nm blue light was obtained pumped by 800 mW of the fundamental power, which corresponds to 5% power conversion efficiency. No obvious optical damage has been observed.

Modulation instability (MI) in single-mode optical fibers is investigated analytically and numerically using a modified nonlinear Schrdinger equation. Due to the role of stimulated Raman scattering, Raman gain spectrum is superposed over the conventional MI gain spectrum in optical fibers. As a result, MI occurs in the normal dispersion region where MI does not appear otherwise; in the anomalous dispersion region, as initial power increases, the spectral range and gain of the conventional MI gain spectrum increase, while the spectral range of the Raman gain spectrum remains unchanged even though its gain increases. Thus the conventional instability region gradually intrudes and eventually screens Raman gain region. Numerical simulations confirms the analytical results and demonstrates that ultrashort pulse trains can be generated by MI in the anomalous dispersion regime, but Raman soliton self-frequency shift appears as the pulse train propagates further.

The spectrum of phase-shifted long-period fiber grating is analyzed by the coupled-mode theory and transfer-matrix method. Then under the guidance of this analysis, it is for the first time that the phase-shifted long-period fiber grating is fabricated successfully by using high-frequency CO 2 laser pulses. During the process of fabrication, computer is used to draw the structural graph of the gratings and to control the power and time of laser pulses exposed on the optical fiber. In such a way, the gratings are made automatically. The grating made actually shows the phase-shifted spectrum during the scale of 1520～1570 nm and 1610～1670 nm. The temperature response of the latter is tested, and the result shows that the center wavelengths of the one pass band and the two loss bands have the same index: 0.064 nm/℃.What′s more, the strain response of the PSLPG is measured, and the result shows that the index is -0.51 nm/mε. So in the sensing field, it is viable to test the centre wavelength of the pass band to m

It is shown that by adjusting frequency and focusing situation properly, some modes can be enhanced and others can be restrained.

The dispersion properties of linear birefringence and its effect upon the sensitivity of a bulk-glass optical current sensor are theoretically analyzed taking the Jones′ Matrix as a mathematical tool and simulated with a computer. The peak wavelength of the optical source used in an optical current sensing system will be changed by the fluctuations of the driving current or its ambient temperature. This will result in the fluctuation of the sensitivity of the system because of the dispersion of the linear birefringence existing inside the sensing head. The investigation results show that the dispersion will affect the scale factor of the system. But the effect is so small that can be omitted. These results might be useful for the researchers and designers working in the optical current sensing techniques area.

The sensitivity of the novel sensor is shown to be much better than that of a conventional MZI-based planar waveguide sensor.

The system performance of optical buffing is investigated based on fiber delay lines in asynchronous optical packet-switched networks. The queuing model here is different from other papers in that the interval of optical packet arrival is defined by Weibull distribution, which has been demonstrated to be a suitable traffic model for WWW service. Through numerical analysis, conclusions show that the system performance of optical buffering, such as packet loss possibility, the average waiting time, can be optimized by the proper design of the delay unit and the buffering depth for given traffic load.

The similarity search of images can be transformed into the point matching in the high-dimensional vector space by the feature extraction and transformation. In order to reduce the curse of dimensionality, a new Vector Approximation File approach based on the multi-resolution data structure is proposed. The new approach computes the lower bound of distance from low-resolution level. If it is larger than the latest maximum distance in the result set, the candidate can be removed without calculating the full-resolution distance. The computational time can be dramatically reduced by eliminating improper candidates at lower levels. The algorithm supporting k-nearest neighbor search is also presented in the new approach and has been applied for feature matching in the large image data sets. The experiment results show that the new approach improves the k-nearest neighbor search speed and outperforms the Vector Approximation File approach.
