Rigorous intensity and phase-shift manipulation in optical frequency conversion
A simple method is employed to investigate the nonlinear frequency conversion in optical superlattices (OSL) with pump depletion. Four rigorous phase-matching conditions for different purposes are obtained directly from the nonlinear coupled equations, and the resulting OSL domain structures are generally aperiodic rather than periodic. With this method, not only the intensity but also the phas...
متن کاملPolarization Changes in Optical Fibers induced by Self-Phase Modulation and Cross-Phase Modulation in Conjunction with Birefrigence
Polarization dependence of various fiber effects affecting signal quality in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems has become a major field of research activities. Polarization– mode dispersion (PMD) and polarization–dependent loss (PDL) are quite well understood today, but there are still major open questions with respect to the interaction with nonlinear fiber effects, although the p...
متن کاملAmplitude and Frequency/Phase Modulation
I always had difficulties in understanding frequency modulation (FM) and its frequency spectrum. Even for the pure tone modulation, the FM spectrum consists of an infinite number of sidebands whose signs change from one sideband to the next one and whose amplitudes are given by the horrible Bessel functions. . . I work for Zurich Instruments, a Swiss maker of lock-in amplifiers and it has becom...
متن کاملOptical wave breaking and pulse compression due to cross-phase modulation in optical fibers.
When a probe pulse copropagates with a pump pulse inside an optical fiber, the two can interact through cross-phase modulation. It is shown that an interplay between the effects of group-velocity dispersion and cross-phase modulation can lead to optical wave breaking that manifests as rapid oscillations near the leading or the trailing side of the probe pulse. Qualitative features of this new k...
متن کاملCross-phase modulation and induced focusing due to optical nonlinearities in optical fibers and bulk materials
Cross-phase modulation (XPM) and induced focusing occur when copropagating ultrafast pulses interact in a nonlinear medium. XPM and induced focusing are investigated as new techniques to control the spectral, temporal, and spatial properties of ultrafast pulses with femtosecond time response. In this paper we review our most recent measurements on (1) induced spectral broadening in BK7 glass, (...
