Broadband optical delay with large dynamic range
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of atomic media to produce optical delay has predominantly exploited the steep dispersion associated with electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) [1]. While this can lead to very low group velocities it has a severe bandwidth limitation owing to the narrow spectral range over which the transparency and steep dispersion occur, making delays longer than the pulse width difficult to obtain.

N ov 2 00 7 Broadband Optical Delay with Large Dynamic Range Using Atomic Dispersion
We report on a tunable all-optical delay line for pulses with optical frequency within the Rb D 2 absorption line. Pulses of 10 ns duration are delayed in a 10 cm hot vapour cell by up to 40 ns where the transmission reduces to approximately 10%. Using an optical frequency between absorption components from different isotopes allows the delay to be increased or decreased by optical pumping with...

We report on a tunable all-optical delay line for pulses with optical frequency within the Rb D 2 absorption line. Using frequency tuning between absorption components from different isotopes, pulses of 10 ns duration are delayed in a 10 cm hot vapour cell by up to 40 ns while the transmission remains above 10%. The use of two isotopes allows the delay to be increased or decreased by optical pu...

As an inexpensive, simple, and scalable solution for broadband access, Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) have the capability of delivering integrated broadband services to the end users. A critical issue of EPONs is the utility of a shared upstream channel among the local users, and thus an efficient bandwidth allocation mechanism is required to facilitate statistical multiplexing among...
