We fully demonstrate the special requirements of a mid-infrared all-optical wavelength converter. The construction mechanism of a 2.05 µm all-optical wavelength converter based on the single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is proposed. Systematic experiments are carried out, and the converter device is successfully developed. With the assistance of SWCNT-coated microfiber, the conversion efficiency up to is realized, and the tuning range can reach 9.72 nm. The experimental results verify the correctness of the proposed mechanism and the feasibility of the converter device so that it can be a new technical approach for all-optical wavelength conversion beyond 2 µm. We believe the research can extend the application of this composite waveguide in the field of all-optical communication.

通过实验研究了大气湍流信道下中轨道角动量(OAM)光束与高斯光束的传输性能,并将两种光束的传输性能进行对比。实验以加载调制信号的OAM光束以及高斯光束为传输载波,分别测量了在大气湍流信道下两种光束的光束展宽、指向偏差、功率抖动以及误码率。实验结果表明:在大气湍流信道中传输后,OAM光束相比高斯光束,光束展宽减少10.5%,功率抖动的方差下降0.13,指向偏差的散布圆直径减小30.4%,并且光束中心更集中于接收面中心;OAM光束载波系统的最低探测灵敏度达到−28.97 dBm,相比高斯光束提升2.5 dB。实验结果证明了在大气湍流信道传输中,OAM光束比高斯光束受到湍流的影响更小,并且随着湍流强度的增加,OAM光束恶化程度远小于高斯光束。实验的结论为大气湍流信道下自由空间激光通信的发展和应用提供了参考。

We integrally demonstrate 2 μm mode-locked pulses performances in all-fiber net anomalous dispersion cavity. Stable mode-locking operations with the center wavelength around 1950-1980 nm can be achieved by using the nonlinear polarization rotation structure and properly designing the dispersion management component. Conventional soliton is firstly obtained with a total anomalous dispersion cavity. Due to the contribution of commercial ultra-high numerical aperture fibers, net dispersion is reduced to -0.077 ps2. So that stretched pulse with 19.4 nm optical bandwidth is obtained and the de-chirped pulse-width can reach 312 fs using extra-cavity compression. Under pump power greater than 890 mW, stretched pulse can evolve into noise-like pulse with 41.3 nm bandwidth. The envelope and peak of such broadband pulse can be compressed with up to 2.2 ps and 145 fs, respectively. The single pulse energy of largely chirped stretched and noise-like pulse can reach 1.785 nJ and 1.53 nJ, respectively. Furthermore, extra-cavity compression can also contribute to a significant increase of peak power.
