Influence of the pumping configuration on the generation of optical similaritons in optical fibers
The impact of forward and backward amplification schemes on the generation of optical similaritons has been numerically and experimentally investigated around 1550 nm using a fiber based Raman amplifier. The pumping configuration does not affect the similariton nature of the output pulse, but it significantly influences the characteristics of the pulse. Shorter and higher peak-power similariton...
متن کاملPulse transition to similaritons in normally dispersive fibre amplifiers
A detailed experimental characterization of the transition process of an initially Gaussian pulse to the asymptotic self-similar parabolic solution in optical fibre amplifiers operating in the normal dispersion regime is performed.
متن کاملOptical similaritons in nonlinear waveguides.
We discover analytically an extensive family of optical similaritons, propagating inside graded-index nonlinear waveguide amplifiers. We show that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between these novel similaritons and standard solitons of the homogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We demonstrate that for certain inhomogeneity and gain profiles, the newly discovered similaritons turn...
متن کاملGeneration of parabolic similaritons in tapered silicon photonic wires: comparison of pulse dynamics at telecom and mid-infrared wavelengths.
We study the generation of parabolic self-similar optical pulses in tapered Si photonic nanowires (Si-PhNWs) at both telecom (λ=1.55 μm) and mid-infrared (λ=2.2 μm) wavelengths. Our computational study is based on a rigorous theoretical model, which fully describes the influence of linear and nonlinear optical effects on pulse propagation in Si-PhNWs with arbitrarily varying width. Numerical si...
متن کاملRegenerative 40 Gbit/s wavelength converter based on similariton generation.
We present an all-optical regeneration technique based on spectral filtering of self-similar parabolic pulses (similaritons). In particular, we demonstrate numerically and experimentally that ghost pulses, which occur in the zero bit slots of telecommunication pulse trains, can be effectively suppressed. These results are obtained with a 40 Gbit/s pulse train.
