    Abstract: A method of creating a varying second order non-linearity profile along a waveguide, comprising: providing a waveguide structure with a waveguiding core and a surface adjacent to the waveguiding core; structuring the surface to produce a structured surface defining a varying distance between the structured surface and the waveguiding core along the waveguide; and thermally poling the waveguide structure to generate a varying second order non-linearity profile along the waveguide-derived from the varying distance between the structured surface and the waveguiding core. By the surface structuring the modulation of the second order non-linearly induced by the thermal poling can be enhanced. The waveguide structures can be used for making a variety of quasi-phase-matched (QPM) devices.

    Abstract: A method of and apparatus for creating a second order non-linearity profile along a waveguide. The method comprises: thermally poling a waveguide structure to generate a second order non-linearity; placing a mask adjacent to the waveguide structure; and exposing the waveguide structure with UV light through the mask to selectively erase the second order non-linearity along the waveguide structure. The mask may be an amplitude mask or phase mask. In a preferred embodiment an amplitude mask is used in combination with an incoherent UV light source to produce selective erasure of a thermally poled second order non-linearity. Apparatus for carrying out this method and devices based on waveguide structure fabricated using the method are also described.

    Abstract: A compact and stable interferometer is easily built only with fusion splices. The air-holes of a microstructured fiber are intentionally collapsed in the vicinity of the splices and this broadens the propagating optical mode, allowing coupling from core to cladding modes. The transmission spectrum is sinusoidal and of single frequency, indicating predominant interference between the fundamental core mode (7) and a cladding mode (6). A regular interference spectrum can be observed from 650 nm to 1600 nm with fringe visibility reaching 80%. The fringe spacing is inversely proportional to the distance between the splices. This behavior has a significant impact in optical sensing and communications and so the interferometer can be applied for strain sensing. The device comprises two splices (5) of a microstructured optical fiber (1), said splices (5) determining two regions in which the air-holes (4) are collapsed, separated a length (L) along which said two modes are excited.

    Abstract: An electro-optical device capable of modulating the amplitude or phase of an optical output in response to an electrical data or control signal, or of switching it, has reduced frequency-dependence and a better combination of operating voltage and bandwidth. It comprises a body of electro-optically active material, waveguides for passing light through the body, and electrodes for applying an electric field with a frequency in the microwave region to the body, and its transverse geometry is such as to maintain adequate phase velocity matching between optical and microwave frequencies. There is a discontinuity in either the body or at least one of the electrodes such that the direction of the electro-optic effect is reversed for a portion of the length of the device at or near its downstream end.The result of such a discontinuity (in combination with phase velocity matching) is that the device operates in three successive zones: in the upstream zone, desirable phase change is induced for all frequencies in the bandwidth of the device; in the middle zone, desirable phase change is induced for frequencies in the upper part of the bandwidth, but phase change in the lower frequencies becomes excessive; while in the downstream zone, there is no significant phase change in the higher frequencies but the excess change at lower frequencies is reversed.

    Abstract: A conversion method for converting a unipolar voltage data stream into a carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ) optical data stream includes modulating a continuous optical wave with an encoded nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) voltage data stream for providing a CSRZ optical data stream of full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) pulse width less than one-half of the transition time of the encoded nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) voltage data stream between logical states for a reduced pulse width. The modulating circuit is either a duobinary modulator driven with a swing of ±2Vπ or an optical time domain multiplexed plurality of nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) modulators with phase shifting and differential encoding.

    Abstract: An optical parametric device for broadband parametric processes involving first and second frequencies &ohgr;1 and &ohgr;2. The device comprises an optical fiber comprising a core and a cladding, the cladding being microstructured with holes for providing waveguiding confinement of at least one optical mode in the core. The optical fiber is poled lengthwise with a non-linearity profile having a period that satisfies a quasi phase matching (QPM) condition including the first and second frequencies. Through the use of a poled holey fiber of suitable hole structure, it is possible to increase the second harmonic (SH) efficiency in comparison with poled conventional (non-holey) fiber. This is achieved by a combination of a low mode overlap area between the fundamental and SH waves, a low absolute value of the mode area, and a large SH bandwidth per unit length of the fiber, all of which can be provided together in a poled holey fiber.
