光纤光学 光子晶体光纤 超连续光谱 分步傅里叶方法 调制不稳 fiber optics photonic crystal fiber supercontinuum spectrum split-step Fourier transform method modulation instability
摘要
对准连续光在光子晶体光纤中的传输特性进行了理论和实验研究。利用分步傅里叶方法求解非线性薛定谔方程, 数值模拟了准连续光在光子晶体光纤中传输时光谱和脉冲的演化, 并分析了其非线性机理和光谱展宽机制。通过比较不同条件下脉冲时域和频域的演化过程, 发现低功率、宽脉冲条件下引起光谱展宽的主要因素是光纤反常色散区的调制不稳(MI)作用。此外, 还分析了脉冲功率、光纤非线性系数、脉冲宽度等因素对光谱展宽的影响。在理论研究基础上, 将脉冲宽度为80 ps的准连续光耦合入70 m长的非线性光子晶体光纤, 获得了覆盖整个通信波段的超连续(SC)谱, 波长范围1300~1700 nm。
Abstract
In this paper, propagation of quasi-continuous wave in photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is theoretically and experimentally investigated. With the nonlinear Schrdinger equation (NLSE) and split-step Fourier transform method, evolution of spectrum and pulse profile of quasi-continuous pump is numerically simulated, and the nonlinear mechanism for supercontinnum (SC) generation is analyzed. By comparing different simulative conditions, it′s shown that modulation instability (MI) in anomalous dispersion region dominates the spectrum broadening. Moreover, the effects of pump power, pulse width and fiber′s nonlinear coefficient on SC are also studied. Based on the theoretical results, quasi-continuous wave with pulse width of 80 ps was lunched into a 70m long nonlinear PCF and SC with the spectral range from 1300 nm to 1700 nm was generated, covering the whole communication window.
