Abstract

In a twin-core optical fiber a propagating light pulse periodically transfers power between its two cores. Experiments by Tjugiarto {ital et} {ital al}. [Opt. Lett. {bold 17,} 1058 (1992)] have demonstrated that this coupling length is considerably reduced when the fiber is also spun. A coupled-mode analysis reveals a pitch resonance that couples a cladding mode with the circularly polarized core mode whose handedness matches that of the helical twist of the cores. This resonance mechanism explains the observation of enhanced coupling and cladding-mode cross coupling. {copyright} {ital 1996 Optical Society of America.}

Linear Transformation of the Polarization Modes in Coiled Optical Spun-Fibers with Strong Unperturbed Linear Birefringence. I. Nonresonant Transformation

Journal Article Malykin, G. B., E-mail: malykin@ufp.appl.sci-nnov.ru ; Pozdnyakova, V. I. - Optics and Spectroscopy

A linear transformation of orthogonal polarization modes in coiled optical spun-fibers with strong unperturbed linear birefringence, which causes the emergence of the dependences of the integrated elliptical birefringence and the ellipticity and azimuth of the major axis of the ellipse, as well as the polarization state of radiation (PSR), on the length of optical fiber has been considered. Optical spun-fibers are subjected to a strong mechanical twisting, which is frozen into the structure of the optical fiber upon cooling, in the process of being drawn out from the workpiece. Since the values of the local polarization parameters of coiled spunwaveguidesmore »« less

Effective control of a soliton by sliding-frequency guiding filters

Journal Article Burtsev, S ; Kaup, D J - Journal of the Optical Society of America, Part B: Optical Physics

A singular perturbation method is used to analyze the effect of sliding-frequency guiding filters on an optical soliton, which has been proposed to be used as a bit carrier in fiber-optics communication systems. We find that there is a broad range of physical parameters, only inside of which would the sliding-frequency filter scheme operate stably. The lower limit (in soliton energy) of this parameter regime was found earlier by Mollenauer {ital et al.} [Opt. Lett. {bold 17}, 1575 (1992)] and by Kodama {ital et al.} [Opt. Lett. {bold 18}, 1311 (1993)] and is determined by whether the soliton will continuemore »« less

Phase delay of polarisation modes in elastically twisted spun fibres

Journal Article Morshnev, Sergey K ; Chamorovsky, Yury K ; Vorob'ev, Igor' L - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

The evolution of the phase delay between linearly polarised orthogonal modes in a spun fibre elastically twisted around its axis has been studied experimentally and theoretically using a model for a helical structure of the built-in linear birefringence axes. The phase delay is a sinusoidal function of elastic twist angle, with an amplitude and period dependent on fibre parameters: spin pitch and built-in linear birefringence beat length. It is shown that, at a known spin pitch, phase delay versus elastic twist angle data can be used to determine the beat length of built-in linear birefringence in the range 0.01 tomore »« less

Stochastic simulation of pulses in nonlinear-optical fibers with random birefringence

Journal Article Ueda, T ; Kath, W L - Journal of the Optical Society of America, Part B: Optical Physics; (United States)

Numerical simulations of nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers with randomly varying birefringence are presented. For short-length-scale randomness the dominant effect is due to phase-velocity birefringence and produces a probabilistic uncertainty that increases with propagation distance for the expected value of the pulse's polarization state. An approximate evolution equation for the probability distribution of the polarization state was derived previously [Physica D [bold 55], 166 (1992)]. Comparisons between this distribution and Monte Carlo simulations are presented that demonstrate the validity of the analytical results. The simulations also show that the polarization state of a pulse is completely randomized on themore »« less

Analysis of the optical extraction efficiency in gas-flow lasers with different types of resonator

Journal Article Barmashenko, B D ; Rosenwaks, S - Applied Optics

The celebrated Rigrod model [J. Appl. Phys. {bold 34,} 2602 (1963)] has recently been shown to be inadequate for calculating the output power of gas-flow lasers when the quenching of excited species is slow and the optical extraction efficiency is high [Opt. Lett. {bold 20,} 1480 (1995)]. The previous analysis of two-level systems is presented here in detail and extended to include the chemical oxygen-iodine laser (COIL). For both two-level systems and COIL{close_quote}s, we obtained simple analytic formulas for the output power, which should be used instead of the Rigrod model. We present the formulas for Fabry{endash}Perot, stable, and unstablemore »« less
