In this paper, we propose a novel photonic crystal fiber design to achieve high birefringence, high nonlinearity with a flattened dispersion profile. The air holes which are embedded in silica are arranged in triangular lattice configuration. In the core region, an air hole is introduced as the central defect to flatten the dispersion curve. The shape of the defect air hole is deliberately designed elliptical so that high birefringence in the PCF is obtained for polarization-maintaining purpose. The structural parameters are carefully selected to optimize the optical properties. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Dora Juan Juan Hu, Linbo Liu, Hui Dong, Hailiang Zhang

Summary: In this paper, an optical fiber-based broadband mode coupler for multimode optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the O-band is proposed. The device uses a tapered few-mode fiber (FMF) to achieve efficient mode coupling between the higher-order modes of the FMF and the fundamental mode of a single-mode fiber (SMF). Key design parameters such as the tapering ratio, core separation, coupler length, and coupling ratio in the O-band are thoroughly studied. The proposed fiber device allows for better signal collection and improved penetration depth in deep tissue imaging for multimode OCT.

Robust method for BOTDA sensing information extraction in the Fourier transform domain

Zengsen Yang, Peixuan Zhang, Hailiang Zhang, Hui Dong, Dora Juan Juan Hu, Kuanglu Yu

Summary: Most existing methods for extracting the Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) rely on the line shape of the Brillouin gain spectrum (BGS) curve. However, in certain cases, such as the one described in this paper, there is a cyclic shift in the BGS curve, making it difficult to obtain accurate BFS using traditional methods. To address this issue, we propose a method called the fast Fourier Lorentz curve fitting method for extracting Brillouin optical time domain analyzer (BOTDA) sensing information in the transform domain. Our method performs better, especially when the cyclic start frequency is close to the BGS central frequency or when the full width at half maximum is large. The results demonstrate that our method can accurately obtain BGS parameters in most cases compared to the Lorenz curve fitting method.

Chuang Xu, Gai Zhou, Chao Lu, Alan Pak Tao Lau

Summary: We investigated dual-polarization (DP) discrete eigenvalue transmission and proposed shifting the soliton train in one polarization by half a symbol period relative to that in the other polarization. Simulation results are conducted to illustrate its advantages over conventional schemes. Experiments of net 81 Gb/s dual-polarization discrete eigenvalue transmission over 650 km are also demonstrated with the help of DP multi-symbol linear minimum mean-squared error (DP-MS-LMMSE) filters for eigenvalues and b( ${\lambda }$ )-coefficients.

Summary: This article presents the first experimental demonstration of a non-iterative electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) solution using a finite impulse response (FIR) filter optimized with the Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) algorithm. The performance of the GS FIR filter is compared to the iterative GS algorithm in 56-Gb/s on-off keying (OOK) transmissions over 80-km single mode fiber (SMF). The influence of pulse shape and modulation format on the measured bit error ratio (BER) is investigated, and it is shown that rectangular RZ achieves the best BER performance with the GS filter.

Polarization Properties of Coherently Superposed Rayleigh Backscattered Light in Single-Mode Fibers

Hui Dong, Hailiang Zhang, Dora Juan Juan Hu

Summary: The properties of polarization and the degree of polarization of Rayleigh backscattered light in single-mode fibers when the incident probe is a coherent continuous-wave light are investigated. It is found that the instantaneous degree of polarization of the superposed backscattered light is always 100%, while the instantaneous state of polarization is determined by the birefringence and optical phase distributions in the fiber. The random variation of the instantaneous state of polarization is due to the sensitivity of the optical phase to ambient temperature and vibration. However, it is discovered that the temporally averaged state of polarization has a constant relationship with the incident probe's state of polarization.

Furthermore, the effect of loss to gain ratio on critical switching power and the impact of launched light power and gain (loss) value on transmitted power are also studied.

Summary: This paper studies the structural similarity between RGB and spectral images and proposes a non-iterative Images Structure Similarity (ISS) method for fast reconstruction of spectral images.
