All-fiber Optical Parametric Oscillator

چکیده
All-fiber optical parametric oscillator (FOPO) has received considerable attention throughout these years. In this paper, we review the basic theory—four wave mixing (FWM) in the optical fibers, which leads to the parametric amplification. Phase matching condition is then discussed, with emphasis on the phase matching near the zero dispersion wavelength. In the end, recent developments on FOPO are introduced, with two reports on the demonstration of cw FOPOs.

Continuous-wave, totally fiber integrated optical parametric oscillator using holey fiber.
We present, for the first time to our knowledge, a cw, all-fiber optical parametric oscillator that uses a holey fiber. The oscillator operates at 1.55 microns and can yield an oscillating parametric signal that consists of a single line with a 30-dB extinction ratio and a 10-pm linewidth or that consists of multiple lines. In addition to the signal and the idler, five other pairs of spectral l...

متن کاملSynchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator driven by a femtosecond mode-locked fiber laser.
A femtosecond all-fiber laser source incorporating a cw mode-locked Yb-doped silica fiber oscillator and amplifier has been used to synchronously pump an optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled lithium niobate. The signal output, consisting of 330-fs pulses at a 54-MHz repetition rate and average powers up to 90 mW, was tuned from 1.55 to 1.95microm , with a corresponding idle...
متن کاملGain smoothening filter in two-segment fiber-optical parametric amplifier
This paper demonstrates a method to remove the gain ripple profile specifically for a two-segment fiber optical parametric amplifier arising from the dispersion differences between the fiber gain medium and the standard single mode fiber attached to the optical components. This is achieved by using a simple design that incorporates a gain smoothening filter at the mid-stage of the amplifier. Th...
متن کاملChalcogenide-based optical parametric oscillator at 2 μm.
We report the first chalcogenide-based optical parametric oscillator (OPO) relying on pure parametric gain. The all-fiber OPO operates in the wavelength range of 2 μm and is tunable over 290 nm from the combined Stokes and anti-Stokes contributions. The gain medium is a 10 cm long chalcogenide microwire made from a high modal confinement As2Se3 core with cyclo olefin polym...
