Chapter 3 Propagation of optical beams in fibers

Introduction

Since the realization of low-loss fibers in 1970s, fibers become the most important medium for optics communication.

The technology of optical communication in fibers can be stated as that of feeding(饲养 , 吃 , 输送 ) optical pulses at a maximal rate into one end of a fiber and retrieving(恢复 ) them at the other end. The main goal of a communication system is to receive the pulses at the output end with minimal loss of energy, minimal spread, and minimal contamination(玷污 , 污染 ) by noise. For example, the silica([ 化 ]硅石 )glass fiber ,which has the character of low-loss propagation of confined optical modes, has become the most important transmission medium for long distance.

Page 68: 2.4 wave equation in quadratic index media The most widely encountered beam in quantum electronics is one where the intensity distribution at planes normal

In this chapter, we will study : 1. the subject of optical guided modes in fibers

2. The problem of pulse spreading due to group velocity dispersion and various strategies of combatting it

The effect of diffraction spreading is counterndiffracting modes. The effect of diffraction spreading is counterbalanced by the lensing effort of the index profile of the guide.balanced by the lensing effort of the index profile of the guide.Commercial(商用的 ) silica-based optical fiber use a step index profile with a “high” index core and a “low” index cladding(覆层 ). These fibers form the backbone(脊椎 , 骨干 )of most modern communication systems, and the study of their modes of propagation is the subject at hand.

Since the refractive(折射的 ) index profiles n(r) of most fibers are cylindrically symmetric (柱对称性的 ), it is convenient to use the cylindrical coordinate system. The field components are , the wave equation 2.4-3 assumes its simple form only for the Cartesian(笛卡儿 ) components of the field vectors(矢量 ) 。

Chapter 4Chapter 4 Optical ResonatorsOptical Resonators

Introduction:

Optical resonators, like their low-frequency, radio-frequency无线电频率 , and microwave counterparts,副本 , 极相似的人或物 , 配对物 are used primarily in order to build up large intensities with moderate 中等的 , 适度的 power inputs. They consist in most cases of two, or more, curved mirrors that serve to “trap”, by repeated reflecticons and refocusing, an optical beam that thus becomes the mode of the resonator.

Page 105: 2.4 wave equation in quadratic index media The most widely encountered beam in quantum electronics is one where the intensity distribution at planes normal

A universal (普遍的 , 全体的 ) measure of optical resonators’ property is the quality factor Q of the resonator, Q is defined by the relation :

Mode density of optical resonatorsMode density of optical resonators

The main challenge in the optical frequency regime is to build resonators that possess a very small number, ideally only one, high Q modes in a given spectral( 光谱的 ) region. The reason is that for a resonator to fulfill this condition, its dimensions need to be of the order of the wavelength.

Mode control in the optical regime would thus seem to require that we construct resonators with volume(体积 )--

. This is not easily achievable. An alternative is to build large resonators but to use a geometry that endows only a small fraction of these modes with low losses (a high Q). In our two-mirror example any mode that does not travel normally to the mirror will “walk off” after a few bounce and thus will possess a low Q factor.

We will show later that when the resonator contains an amplifying (inverted(倒转的 )population) medium, oscillation( 振动 ) will occur preferentially (优先 )at high Q modes, so that the strategy of modal discrimination(识别 )by controlling Q is sensible(明智的 ), we shall also find that further model discrimination is due to the fact that the atomic(原子的 )medium is capable of amplifying radiation only within a limited frequency region so that modes outside this region, even if possessing high Q, do not oscillate.

One question asked often is the following: given a large

optical resonator, how many of its modes will have their resonant frequencies in a given frequency interval ,say,

Page 113: 2.4 wave equation in quadratic index media The most widely encountered beam in quantum electronics is one where the intensity distribution at planes normal

To answer this problem, consider a large, perfectly reflecting(反射的 ) box resonator with sides,a , b, c along the x, y, z directions. Without going into modal details, it is sufficient for our purpose to take the amplitude field solution in the form :

For the field to vanish at the boundaries, we thus need to satisfy :

In the equation above, the triplet (三个一组) r, s, t is any integers ,and they define a mode.

We will restrict, without loss of generality, r,s,t to positive integers. It is convenient to describe the modal distribution in K space. Since each (positive) triplet r, s, t generate an independent mode, we can associate with each mode an elemental volume in K space.

V: is the physical volume of the resonator. We recall that the length of the vector K satisfies equation 4.0-8, rewrite here as :

Page 116: 2.4 wave equation in quadratic index media The most widely encountered beam in quantum electronics is one where the intensity distribution at planes normal

to find the total number of modes with K values between 0 and k, we divide the corresponding volume in K space by the volume per mode:

We next use 4.0-10 to obtain the number of modes with

resonant frequencies between 0 and v .

The mode density, that is, the number of modes per unit

near v in a resonator with volume V, is thus:

This objection ( 缺陷 ) is overcome to a large extent by use of open resonators, which consist essentially(本质上 )of a pair of opposing ( 对立的) flat or curved reflectors. In such resonators the energy of the vast majority of the modes does not travel at right angles (直角 ) to the mirrors and will thus be lost in essentially a single traversal. ( 横向 )往返移动 These modes will consequently possess a very low Q. if the mirrors are curved, the few surviving ( 能继续存在的 ) modes will have their energy localized (停留) near the axis; thus the diffraction (衍射) loss caused by the open sides can be made small compared with other loss mechanisms ( 机构 , 机制) such as mirror transmission. 传输 , 转播→镜面透射

According to 4.2-2, we can tune the peak transmission frequency of the etalon by △v by changing its length by half a wavelength. This property is utilized (利用 ) in operating the etalon as a scanning interferometer. The optical signal to be analyzed passes through the etalon as its length is being swept (扫描 ).

Page 145: 2.4 wave equation in quadratic index media The most widely encountered beam in quantum electronics is one where the intensity distribution at planes normal

If the width of the transmission peaks is small compared to that of the spectral detail in the incident optical beam signal, the output of the etalon will constitute a replica (复制品 ) of the spectral profile of the signal. In this application it is important that the spectral width of the signal beam be smaller than the intermode spacing of the etalon so that the ambiguity ( 模糊 ) due to simultaneous ( 同时性的 ) transmission through more than one transmission peak is avoid. For the same reason the total length scan is limited to

It is clear from the foregoing (前述的 ) that when operating as a spectrum analyzer the etalon resolution---- that is, its ability to distinguish details in the spectrum---is limited by the finite width of its transmission peaks. If we take, somewhat arbitrarily, the limiting resolution of the etalon as the separation between the two frequencies at which the transmission is down to half of its peak value, from 4.1-7 we obtain : :

The separation between longitudinal modes of the laser oscillation is c/2nllaser = 1.5×108 Hz (here we assume n=1). We choose the resolution of the etalon to be a tenth of this value, so spectral details as narrow as 1.5×107Hz can be resolved. According to (4.2-6), this resolution can be achieved if

As a practical note we may add that the finess, as defined by the first equality in (4.2-6), depends not only on R but also on the mirror flatness and the beam angular spread. These points are taken up in Problems 4-3 and 4-4.

To satisfy condition (4.2-7), we choose 2nletal=20cm; thus (4.2-8) is satisfied when

The loci (轨迹, locus 的复数形式 ) of the points at which the beam intensity (watts per square meter) is a given fraction of its intensity on the axis are the hyperboloids ( 双曲面 ).

The hyperbolas generated by the intersection of these surfaces with planes that include the z axis are shown in Figure 4-7. These hyperbolas are normal to the phase fronts and thus correspond to the local direction of energy flow. The hyperboloid x2+ y2 =ω2 (z) is , according to (4.3-1), the locus of the points where the exponential factor in the field amplitude is down to 1/e from its value on the axis. The quantity ω(z) is thus defined as the mode spot size at the plane z.

The value of R (for a given l ) for which the mirror spot size is a minimum, is readily found from 4.3-10 to be R=l. When this condition is fulfilled we have what is called a symmetrical confocal ( 共焦 ) resonator, since the two foci ( 焦距 ) , occurring at a distance of R/2 from the mirrors, coincide.

thus, to increase the mirror spot size from its minimum (confocal) value of 0.0798cm to 0.3cm, we must use exceedingly plane mirrors (R=800m). This also shows that even small mirror curvature (that is, large R) give rise to “narrow” beams.

4.6 Resonance Frequencies (4.6 Resonance Frequencies ( 共振频率共振频率 )) of Optical Resonator of Optical Resonator

The resonance frequencies are determined by the condition that the complete round-trip phase delay of a resonator mode be some multiple of . This requirement is equivalent to that in microwave waveguide resonators where the resonator length must be equal to an integral number of half-guide wavelengths. This requirement makes it possible for a stable standing wave pattern to establish itself along the axis with a transverse field distribution equal to that of the propagation mode.

4.7 Losses in optical resonators4.7 Losses in optical resonators

An understanding of the mechanisms by which electro-magnetic energy is dissipated in optical resonators and the ability to control them are of major importance in understanding and operating a variety of optical devices. For historical reasons as well as for reasons of convenience, these losses are often characterized by a number of different parameters.
