Sidelobe suppression in all-fiber acousto-optic tunable filter using torsional acoustic wave.
We propose two techniques to suppress intrinsic sidelobe spectra in all-fiber acousto-optic tunable filter using torsional acoustic wave. The techniques are based on either double-pass filter configuration or axial tailoring of mode coupling strength along an acousto-optic interaction region in a highly birefringent optical fiber. The sidelobe peak in the filter spectrum is experimentally suppr...
متن کاملEffect of metal coating in all-fiber acousto-optic tunable filter using torsional wave.
Torsional mode acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) is demonstrated using a metal-coated birefringent optical fiber for an improved robustness. The changes in acoustic and optical properties of a metal-coated birefringent optical fiber induced by the thin metal coating were analyzed experimentally and theoretically. The filter wavelength shift is successfully explained as a result of combined ef...
متن کاملSpectral shaping of an all-fiber torsional acousto-optic tunable filter.
Spectral shaping of an all-fiber torsional acousto-optic (AO) tunable filter is studied. The technique is based on the axial modulation of AO coupling strength along a highly birefringent optical fiber, which is achieved by tailoring the outer diameter of the fiber along its propagation axis. Two kinds of filter spectral shaping schemes-Gaussian apodization and matched filtering with triple res...
متن کاملNarrowband, polarization insensitive all-fiber acousto-optic tunable bandpass filter.
We demonstrate an all-fiber acousto-optic tunable bandpass filter exhibiting narrow optical bandwidth and negligible polarization dependence by employing a novel ultraviolet (UV)-induced core-mode blocker written in a high numerical aperture (NA) fiber. It was demonstrated that the device had the measured 3-dB optical bandwidth of 0.65 nm, the polarization-dependent center-wavelength splitting ...
متن کاملLow-loss all-fiber acousto-optic tunable filter.
We report significant advances in the development of simple all-fiber, tunable acousto-optic spectral filters based on null couplers. The performance agrees well with theoretical predictions and is attributed to improved control of the coupler uniformity. Furthermore, using a double-pass arrangement, we demonstrate filter bandwidth reduction and improved sidelobe suppression of -20 dB . The dou...
