Graphene-Incorporated Soft Capacitor for Mechanically-Adjustable Electro-Optic Modulators
摘要： In addition to ultra-high capacity and speed in data management, future communication networks require enhanced performance via system reconfigurability under limited resources. Extremely high-speed operation renders optical data managing devices as excellent candidates to hybridize with current electronic devices; however, they still need tunability for system reconfiguration in an integrated scheme. We demonstrate an efficient electro-optic (EO) modulator that is mechanically tunable on a multiple optical waveguide system functioned with a soft capacitor structure incorporating graphene and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The flexible capacitor that generates optical signals by temporal light absorption depending on electrical signals can be mechanically detached and re-attached from and onto a rigid surface of the waveguide. It provides either the on or off state of the modulating operation, and enables switching of the working waveguides following the reconfigured data routes. Quality-controlled graphene mainly provides the EO operation, and PMMA plays an important role as both the flexible dielectric layer in the capacitor and the passivation layer for graphene protection. The modulation effects of the manually prepared graphene-PMMA capacitor mechanically adjusted onto a side-polished optical fiber (D-shaped fiber) are investigated in terms of the extinction ratio (ER) of the transmitting light and the operational bandwidth. We successfully display an ER of the modulator up to 19.8 dB with a voltage control ranging from -50 V to 50 V. Its stable operation is verified with a modulation speed up to 2.5 MHz.

Wavelength-tunable single-frequency ytterbium-doped fiber laser based on a double-circulator interferometer
摘要： We reported a novel type of wavelength-tunable single-frequency ytterbium-doped fiber laser based on a double-circulator compound cavity and a section of unpumped ytterbium-doped fiber. The multi-longitudinal-mode oscillations are suppressed by the double-circulator structure and the single frequency operation is obtained finally by the standing wave grating in the unpumped ytterbium-doped fiber. The central wavelength of the laser beam is selected by a tunable filter ranging from 1040 nm to 1080 nm. The results show that the side mode suppression ratio in this range is greater than 47 dB and the maximum value is 58 dB at 1070.06 nm. The observed maximum wavelength fluctuation and power variation at 1060 nm are 0.012 nm and 0.22 dB during 1 h, respectively. The mean value of the linewidth in this range is 2.82 kHz and the minimum value of the linewidth at 1060 nm is 2.38 kHz. The relaxation oscillation frequency is right on 94 kHz.

Switchable multi-wavelength and tunable wavelength spacing erbium-doped fiber laser based on a phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating combined with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer
摘要： A switchable multi-wavelength fiber laser with tunable wavelength spacing is proposed. It is based on a structure filter composed of a phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PSFBG) and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), and the MZI is fabricated by splicing a section of polarization-maintaining fiber with two segments of multi-mode fibers. By adjusting the variable optical attenuator in the cavity and slightly changing the temperature, stable single-, dual-, triple- and quadruple-wavelength emissions can be obtained. The minimum wavelength spacing of adjacent peaks is 0.176 nm, and the maximum is 17.86 nm. The laser line emissions can be switched from 1527.684 nm to 1550.224 nm with optical signal to noise ratio of more than 50 dB. The maximum wavelength fluctuation of the fiber laser is less than 0.025 nm over 50 min. When the strain applied to the filter is changed, the tunable wavelength spacing can be achieved. The wavelength spacing of dual-wavelength laser can be continuously tuned from 21.82 nm to 22.69 nm by applying strain of 0–258 με to the filter.

Switchable, tunable and highly stable multi-wavelength fiber laser based on a spectral filter
摘要： In this work, a switchable and tunable multi-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser based on a spectral filter is presented. Here, the filter is formed by polymer and silicon layers at the tip of an optical fiber. The laser emission wavelengths are mainly determined by the position where the most intense fringes of the reflectivity spectrum of the filter occurs. Moreover, the number of laser emissions are controlled and switched by using a variable optical attenuator inserted into the laser cavity. In this way, single-, dual-, triple-, and quadruple-laser emissions can be obtained within the long operating span from ~1526–~1565 nm. Additionally, the multi-wavelength laser emissions had a side mode suppression ratio ?36.48 dBm, a minimum wavelength spacing of ~3.6 nm, and the best peak power difference was 0.45 dB. Besides, the wavelength shift and peak power fluctuation were ?0.095 nm and ?3.14 dB, respectively, over half an hour. Finally, the emissions of the multi-wavelength laser can be tuned within a tunable range of 2.93 nm by taking advantage of some thermal properties of the Si and polymer layers.

Nanotube mode-locked, wavelength and pulsewidth tunable thulium fiber laser
摘要： Mode-locked oscillators with highly tunable output characteristics are desirable for a range of applications. Here, with a custom-made tunable filter, we demonstrate a carbon nanotube (CNT) mode-locked thulium fiber laser with widely tunable wavelength, spectral bandwidth, and pulse duration. The demonstrated laser’s wavelength tuning range reached 300 nm (from 1733 nm to 2033 nm), which is the widest-ever that was reported for rare-earth ion doped fiber oscillators in the near-infrared. At each wavelength, the pulse duration can be regulated by changing the filter’s bandwidth. For example, at ~1902 nm, the pulse duration can be adjusted from 0.9 ps to 6.4 ps (the corresponding output spectral bandwidth from 4.3 nm to 0.6 nm). Furthermore, we experimentally and numerically study the spectral evolution of the mode-locked laser in presence of a tunable filter, a topic that has not been thoroughly investigated for thulium-doped fiber lasers. The detailed dynamical change of the mode-locked spectra is presented and we observed gradual suppression of the Kelly sidebands as the filter’s bandwidth is reduced. Further, using the polarization-maintaiing (PM) cavity ensures that the laser is stable and the output laser’s polarization extinction ratio is measured to exceed 20 dB.

Study on a high-temperature optical fiber F–P acceleration sensing system based on MEMS
摘要： Vibration measurement at high temperature is of great signi?cance to monitoring the operation of major projects and mechanical equipment. As the temperature resistance of electrical vibration sensors is usually below 600 °C, it cannot meet the requirements of some high-temperature measuring conditions. This paper studies a high-temperature Fabry–Perot (F–P) acceleration sensing system with general single-mode ?ber. A high-temperature sensitive diaphragm is machined based on micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology and it is combined with the ?ber microstructure to enable the sensing probe to be packaged under high temperatures. According to the temperature characteristic of the length of the F–P cavity, a signal demodulation system was proposed based on the rapid automatic tracking of the quiescent operation point. The complete optical ?ber F–P acceleration sensing system conducted real-time vibration detection of high temperature casting in the foundry factory. The experimental result indicates that the optical ?ber high-temperature acceleration sensor showed a better vibration response in the working frequency of 100–1000 Hz and the relative error of the frequency measurement is less than 1.56% under normal temperatures and a high temperature of 800 °C.

A tunable external cavity laser operating at excited states of bimodal-sized quantum-dot
摘要： In this paper, a tunable external cavity diode laser (ECDL) based on the first excited states of two independent quantum dot (QD) ensemble has been demonstrated. The device exhibits stabilized lasing with high power of 120 mW. We attribute the excellent output characteristics of the QD ECDL to carrier radiation recombination in high energy states, which has higher degeneracy than low energy states and can accommodate more carriers. The linewidth of ECDL is less than 0.2 nm, which is also much narrower than most of QD ECDLs as reported. Preliminary discussion attributes the spectra feature to the lower QD density and independent carrier transitions. The tunable range is 28.9 nm (970.1 ~ 999 nm) and the wavelength shift with the injection current is 0.7 nm/A.

Widely Wavelength-tunable Mode-locked Fiber Laser Based on a 45° Tilted Fiber Grating and Polarization Maintaining Fiber
摘要： We present a passively mode-locked Erbium-doped fiber laser with tunable parameters including central wavelength, 3dB bandwidth and pulse duration. The mode-locking mechanism of the laser is realized by using single-walled carbon nanotubes polyvinyl alcohol (SWCNTs-PVA) composite film as saturable absorber. The tunable operation is implemented via a fiber birefringence filter consisting of a polarization maintaining (PM) fiber and a Brewster fiber grating. The laser achieves a maximum spectral tuning range of 36 nm with 8 cm PM fiber. The maximum spectral width variation of 5.19 nm is acquired when the PM fiber is 12 cm. Simultaneously, the spectral widths of pulses at different central wavelengths are also adjustable. Furthermore, the total cavity length is 8.28 m, which is the shortest cavity length to obtain such wide tuning range in an Erbium-doped fiber laser based on SWCNTs.

Tunable self-excited multiwavelength Brillouin-erbium fiber laser based on a variable temperature sensor
摘要： We propose and demonstrate a tunable self-excited multiwavelength Brillouin-erbium fiber laser based on a novel in-line Mach–Zehnder interferometer sensor (NMZIS) with variable temperature. The configuration of the NMZIS is a section of uncoated single-mode fiber sandwiched between an up-taper and multimode fiber. With the temperature changing from 30 °C to 90 °C, the transmission spectrum of the NMZIS shifts towards longer wavelengths. By embedding the NMZIS to act as a fiber filter in the ring cavity, the wavelength of the output multiwavelength comb is tuned from 1552.35 to 1564.48 nm. The corresponding generation of 21 Brillouin–Stokes lines with 25 dB optical signal-to-noise ratio is achieved.

Broad-band emission and color tuning of Eu3+-doped LiCa2SrMgV3O12 phosphors for warm white light-emitting diodes
摘要： In this study, series of Eu3+-doped LiCa2SrMgV3O12 (LCSMV) phosphors with broad-band emission and color tunable feature were prepared via solid phase reaction. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results presented a pure cubic phase product with micron-sized and homogeneous distribution of element. Their spectroscopic properties were investigated systematically by photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and emission (PL) spectra, temperature-dependent PL spectra and luminescence decay curves. The LCSMV phosphors displayed a strong absorption to ultraviolet light and a broad cyan emission. Moreover, in Eu3+-doped LCSMV phosphors, Eu3+ ion characteristic emissions at 589, 610, 651 and 705 nm, attributing to the 5D0→7F1, 7F2, 7F3 and 7F4 transitions, were observed. Along with Eu3+ ion concentrations increasing, the emission colors could be readily tuned from cyan to orange and the decay lifetimes of (VO4)3- became shorter. Meanwhile, electric dipole-dipole interaction was responsible to energy migration from (VO4)3- groups to Eu3+ ions. Further, the quantum efficiency (QE) values were estimated to be 32.5% for LCSMV host and 39.3% for LCSMV: 0.01Eu3+ sample. Finally, a LED lamp was prepared by integrating the blend of the LCSMV: 0.01Eu3+ phosphors and commercial blue-emitting BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ phosphors with NUV chip (365 nm) and exhibited warm white light (CCT = 3655 K, Ra = 90), which may be applied in lighting and display field.
