چکیده
We analyze the modulation instability spectrum in a varying dispersion optical fiber as a function of the dispersion oscillation amplitude, and predict a novel sideband splitting into different sub-sidebands for relatively large dispersion oscillations.

Experimental demonstration of spectral sideband splitting in strongly dispersion oscillating fibers.
By using a highly nonlinear, dispersion oscillating optical fiber operating in the telecom C band, we experimentally demonstrate the splitting experienced by quasi-phase matched gain sidebands in the strongly dispersion managed regime of a dispersion oscillating fiber as the power of a continuous-wave pump laser is increased over a certain threshold value. Very good agreement is found between t...
متن کاملNonlinear parametric resonances in quasiperiodic dispersion oscillating fibers
We numerically study the evolution of the spectrum of parametric resonance or modulation instability sidebands in aperiodic dispersion oscillating fibers. We separately consider a linear variation along the fiber of either the spatial period, the average dispersion, or the amplitude of the dispersion oscillation. We found that this linear variation of the dispersion oscillating fiber parameters...
متن کاملInfluence of the pump shape on the modulation instability process induced in a dispersion oscillating fiber
We show that taking into account the temporal intensity profile of a pulsed pump beam may lead to significant deviations from the predictions based on a continuous wave analysis of the modulation instability process occurring in a dispersion oscillating fiber operating under the conditions that lead to gain sideband splitting. Potential application to a pulse doubling scheme with tunable delay ...
متن کاملCompeting four-wave mixing processes in dispersion oscillating telecom fiber.
We experimentally study the dynamics of the generation of multiple sidebands by means of a quasi-phase-matched four-wave mixing (FWM) process occurring in a dispersion-oscillating, highly nonlinear optical fiber. The fiber under test is pumped by a ns microchip laser operating in the normal average group-velocity dispersion regime and in the telecom C band. We reveal that the growth of higher-o...
متن کاملModulational instability in a fiber soliton ring laser induced by periodic dispersion variation
Modulational instability with sideband generation is experimentally observed in a passively mode-locked fiber soliton ring laser. We show numerically that this modulational instability is induced by the periodic dispersion variation experienced by light circulating in the laser cavity. Modulational instability caused by cross-phase-modulation is also observed in the laser and confirmed numerica...
