The system includes a scrambling unit connected between a signal receiving end of said transmission fiber and an optical signal source that includes an optical fiber which creates a differential delay between two groups of optical modes of the signal that is at least one bit period long such that said optical signal is passively scrambled, and an unscrambling unit connected to a signal transmitting end of said transmission fiber having an optical fiber that counteracts said differential delay between said two groups of optical modes of the signal such that said optical signal is passively unscrambled. The scrambling unit optical fiber has an alpha profile with a complementary perturbation that creates the differential delay between two groups of optical modes of the signal, and the unscrambling unit optical fiber has an alpha profile with reversal complementary perturbation that counteracts the differential delay between said two groups of optical modes of the signal. Alternatively, the scrambling and unscrambling units may have the combination of a mode splitter that splits the signal into two different groups of optical modes, and a pair of optical fibers that conduct the two groups of optical modes in parallel, the fibers being of different lengths to create or to counteract a differential delay in the two groups of modes.

    摘要: A high energy, ultra short pulse ring fiber laser is provided that includes a passively mode locked, all optical fiber laser formed from a closed loop of optical fiber doped with erbium or other rare earth metal, a pump light source optically coupled to the loop of optical fiber, and a linear dispersion compensator that includes a pair of chirped Bragg gratings with substantially equal but opposite sign dispersion. The difference in dispersion between the pair of chirped Bragg gratings is adjusted so that it is substantially equal and opposite to the dispersion generated in the loop of optical fiber. The linear dispersion compensator includes a tuner which can individually stretch or compress the pair of chirped fiber Bragg gratings such that one of the gratings can be adjusted to cancel out the dispersion of the ring laser cavity, while the other grating is adjusted to eliminate third order dispersion of the cavity.

    摘要: An optical fiber for performing pulse stretching, and fiber laser systems and methods using the pulse-stretching fiber are disclosed. The pulse-stretching (PS) fiber has low fourth-order dispersion (dispersion curvature) and a third order dispersion (dispersion slope) with a small negative, nearly zero or small positive value. Two different types of fiber laser systems that use the PS fiber in a manner that achieves optimum performance are described. The PS fiber enables an all-fiber (up to the final pulse compressor) ultra-short pulsed laser systems reaching pulse energies exceeding 100 μJ, average powers exceeding 100 W, and output pulse widths of less than 100 fs.

    摘要: A ring-cavity, passively mode locked fiber laser capable of producing short-pulse-width optical pulses at a relatively low repetition rate. The fiber laser uses a one-way ring-cavity geometry with a chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) at its reflecting member. The CFBG is part of a dispersion compensator that includes an optical circulator that defines a one-way optical path through the ring cavity. A doped optical fiber section is arranged in the optical path and serves as the gain medium. A pump light source provides the pump light to excite the dopants and cause the gain medium to lase. A saturable absorber is operable to effectuate passive mode-locking of the multiple modes supported by the ring cavity. The ring cavity geometry allows to achieve mode locking with single pulse operation in a longer cavity length than conventional linear cavities. Furthermore, the longer cavity length reduces the constraints on the chirp rate of the CFBG. This, in turn, allows the CFBG to have a relatively high reflectivity, which provides the necessary dispersion compensation and cavity loss for generating short optical pulses at a low repetition rate.
