We used the amplifier with the erbium ion concentration of 6.3×10-3 to amplify a hyperbolic secant pulse from a regeneratively mode-locked fiber laser.

The distributed feedback(DFB) lasers modulated in 4-level pulse amplitude modulation(4-PAM) format are used for downstream links, and the reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers(RSOAs) together with an optical frequency comb modulated in quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK) format are used for upstream links. We can achieve the error-free transmission of the upstream signals with speed of 12.5 Gbit/s even after 20 km single-mode fiber(SMF). The power penalty obtained by using the frequency comb generator instead of a tunable laser is around 0.5 d B. By using 11 DFB lasers and a set of intensity and phase modulators, it is possible to provide the seed light for 297 optical network units(ONUs) within the C-band.展开更多

文摘We present a polarization-maintaining PANDA ring-core fiber(PM-PRCF) characterized by the combination of a ring-core structure with two stress-applying rods. This special fiber design separates the adjacent modes and avoids the cutoff of the higher-order modes, which is a common problem in elliptical core polarization-maintaining few-mode fibers. Using a high-contrast index ring and stress-induced birefringence, the PM-PRCF features support for 10 vector modes, with effective refractive index separations from their adjacent modes >10^(-4).Broadband performance is investigated subsequently over a wide wavelength range from 1500 to 1630 nm.The proposed fiber is targeted at applications in space-division multiplexing while eliminating the complex multiple-input multiple-output signal processing.
文摘Guided modes in a hollow optical fiber are investigated using both scalar approximation and exact vectorial analysis. Effective indices of modes are seen to exhibit "nearly degenerate" groups. Besides providing an insight of modal characteristics, the analysis would prove to be useful to define design parameters for realizing components based on these fibers, and to explore new possibilities.

文摘A cost-effective ultra-dense wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network(UD-WDM PON) with speed of 12.5 Gbit/s and channel spacing of 12.5 GHz is proposed and demonstrated. The distributed feedback(DFB) lasers modulated in 4-level pulse amplitude modulation(4-PAM) format are used for downstream links, and the reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers(RSOAs) together with an optical frequency comb modulated in quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK) format are used for upstream links. We can achieve the error-free transmission of the upstream signals with speed of 12.5 Gbit/s even after 20 km single-mode fiber(SMF). The power penalty obtained by using the frequency comb generator instead of a tunable laser is around 0.5 d B. By using 11 DFB lasers and a set of intensity and phase modulators, it is possible to provide the seed light for 297 optical network units(ONUs) within the C-band.
