All-fibered high-quality 28-GHz to 112 GHz pulse sources based on nonlinear compression of optical temporal besselons
2021
The generation of high quality pulse trains at repetition rates of several tens of GHz remains a crucial step for optical telecommunications, optical sampling or component testing applications. Unfortunately, the current bandwidth limitations of optoelectronic devices do not allow the direct generation of well-defined optical pulse trains with low duty cycles. An attractive solution is based on a direct temporal phase modulation that is then converted into an intensity modulation thanks to a dispersive element that imprints a spectral quadratic phase. Picosecond pulses at repetition rates of several tens of GHz have been successfully demonstrated [1] . However, this approach suffers from a …
Offsetting Self-Phase Modulation in Optical Fibre by Sinusoidally Time-Varying Phase
2018
We report on our recent experimental and theoretical results on the use of a sinusoidally time-varying phase to suppress undesirable self-phase modulation of optical pulses propagating in fibre-optic systems.
High-quality 10 and 20 GHz repetition rate optical sources based on the spectral phase tailoring of a temporal sinusoidal phase modulation
2019
International audience; We theoretically introduce and experimentally demonstrate a new approach to generate high-quality, high repetition-rate pulse trains. This method is based on a temporal sinusoidal phase modulation combined with a triangular spectral phase shaping. Experimental results validate the concept at repetition rates of 10 and 20 GHz.
Bistable Device based on the Kerr Effect in a Microfiber Resonator
2007
We propose a bistable device based on the Kerr effect in a microfiber resonator. Our simulations show that low switching powers (in the order of a few tens of mW) are expected with tellurite microfibers.
Mitigation of self-phase modulation by sinusoidally time varying phase
2018
The propagation of intense ultra-short optical pulses in a Kerr medium such as an optical fibre remains a critical issue for many optical systems. This is because the self-phase modulation (SPM) of the propagating pulse usually causes a severe broadening of the pulse spectrum that is typically accompanied by an oscillatory structure. Several strategies have been proposed and successfully deployed to counteract the deleterious effects of SPM in fiber-optic systems, including spatial or temporal scaling to reduce the impact of nonlinearity. Other approaches rely on the exploitation of the peculiar properties of parabolic shaped pulses and self-similar evolution. However, none of these last te…
All-optical measurement of residual chromatic dispersion and OSNR using self-phase modulation in optical fiber
2011
International audience; We describe a new all-fibered device providing high accuracy all-optical measurements of both optical signal to noise ratio and residual chromatic dispersion. Taking advantage of the self-phase modulation driven spectral evolution of pulses propagating in a highly non-linear medium, we have numerically and experimentally validated the benefits of using an anomalous dispersive fiber combined with a central spectral filtering.
2R regeneration architectures based on multi-segmented fibres
2008
The benefits of using a multi-segmented arrangement of optical fibres for Self-Phase Modulation-based 2R optical regeneration are described both theoretically and experimentally. Significant improvements in terms of the performance and practicality are achieved.
Generalisation and experimental validation of design rules for self-phase modulation-based 2R regenerators
2007
We report the design of 2R-regenerators based on self-phase modulation in lossy fibers. We experimentally demonstrate the applicability of the proposed scaling rules and present detailed characterization of the pulse characteristics at the regenerator output.
Étude et manipulation de modes résonants en champ proche optique
2010
Within the quick nano-fabrication techniques evolution and the increasing needs in low space and energy opto-electronic functions on-chip integration, studies and control of electromagnetic resonances of sub-micrometric objects are crucial issues. One aim of this work was then to improve our knowledge of the light-matter interaction. To this end, optical near-field experiments and complementary numerical development of models have been performed to study electromagnetic resonances due to light-matter interaction in sub-micrometric resonators. As an introduction, the first part of the manuscript presents the main phenomena involved in near-field optical microscopy and the used SNOM operation…
