Sharp tunable optical filters based on the polarization attributes of stimulated Brillouin scattering.

چکیده
Sharp and highly-selective tunable optical band-pass filters, based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) amplification in standard fibers, are described and demonstrated. Polarization pulling of the SBS-amplified signal wave is used to increase the selectivity of the filters to 30 dB. Pump broadening via synthesized direct modulation was used to provide a tunable, sharp and uniform amplification window: Pass-band widths of 700 MHz at half maximum and 1 GHz at the -20 dB points were obtained. The central frequency, bandwidth and shape of the filter can be arbitrarily set. Compared with scalar SBS-based filters, the polarization-enhanced design provides a higher selectivity and an elevated depletion threshold.

High-resolution, wide-bandwidth optical spectrum analysis is essential to the measuring and monitoring of advanced optical, millimeter-wave, and terahertz communication systems, sensing applications and device characterization. One category of high-resolution spectrum analyzers reconstructs the power spectral density of a signal under test by scanning a Brillouin gain line across its spectral e...
متن کاملComprehensive Theoretical Study on Threshold Power of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Single-Mode Fibers
We have investigated and developed a theoretical approach to explore stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) phenomena in single mode fiber. SBS happening threshold power condition has been studied in terms of fiber parameters and input pump power. To assess threshold power precisely, the pump depletion effect and fiber loss has been included by employing 1% criterion. The threshold exponential g...

Vector formalism for stimulated Brillouin scattering amplification in birefringent fibers is used to model the fiber as an equivalent, pseudo-linear, polarization-dependent gain medium. Implications on slow and fast light setups are discussed. ©2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (290.5900) Scattering, stimulated Brillouin; (120.5410) Polarimetry; (060.2300) Fiber measurements.
متن کاملStimulated Brillouin scattering in highly birefringent microstructure fiber: experimental analysis.
We report on an experimental analysis of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a 20-m-long highly birefringent microstructure fiber for sensing applications. In particular, an experimental setup based on Brillouin optical frequency-domain analysis, operating at a wavelength of 1550 nm, has been employed in order to analyze the distribution of Brillouin frequency shift along the fiber, as wel...
