نویسندگان
چکیده
An extremely simple technique is demonstrated to realize tunable delays in optical fibers controlled by the signal average power. The system self-adapts in real time to the Brillouin fiber properties and to the signal bandwidth. ©2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.4370) Nonlinear optics, fibers; (290.5900) Scattering, stimulated Brillouin; (350.5500) Propagation

Governing the Speed of a Light Signal in Optical Fibers: Brillouin Slow and Fast Light
Dynamic control of the speed of a light signal, based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers, was theoretically studied and also experimentally demonstrated as the core object of this thesis. To date, slow light based on stimulated Brillouin scattering has shown the unmatched flexibility to offer an efficient timing tool for the development of all-optical future router. Neverthele...

متن کاملNumerical study of all-optical slow-light delays via stimulated Brillouin scattering in an optical fiber
We study numerically all-optical slow-light delays in room-temperature single-mode optical fibers induced by stimulated Brillouin scattering. We consider the propagation of a pulse through a cw-pumped Brillouin fiber amplifier, where the carrier frequency of the pulse is tuned near the Stokes resonance. Pulse delay and broadening of the Stokes pulse are studied in the small-signal and gain-satu...
