For the first time, a dynamic model is used to design all-optical polarization rotator for ultrashort pulse in semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). When 200 fs probe and pump pulses co-propagate in SOA, the azimuth angle of probe polarization is rotated by pump energy due to SOA nonlinearities. As a result of azimuth angle rotation (AAR) phenomenon, the state of polarization (SOP) of probe pulse also rotates. In addition to the pump energy, AAR also depends on the input probe pulse characteristics and the SOA bias current. The input probe characteristics include its input energy level, input Stokes vector, and input degree of polarization. The results of our research indicate that the output probe azimuth angle can be rotated up to 113 deg by the mentioned factors. Consequently, the probe SOP can be changed from the quasihorizontal state to the quasivertical state.
We present innovative structures for ring-based Raman amplifier with two separate entrances for the pump and signal. In this way, only the pump is coupled into the ring and the signal passes directly through the path that the amplified pump is propagating inside the ring without a destructive effect on signal pulse. Using engineered nanoholes filled with optofluidic material in the signal and pump paths, we reduce pump and signal group velocity to improve the structure and achieve larger Raman gain. The time evolution and propagation of picosecond signal pulses and dispersion inside the device are analyzed. Maxwell equations are solved using finite difference time-domain method considering optical nonlinear parameters like two photon absorption, free-carrier absorption, and Kerr effect.
We investigate theoretically the effect of two-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) defect waveguide parameters embedded
into vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) on static operation of PC-VCSEL like spatial hole burning (SHB)
and temperature of active region. In structures with larger pitch of PC holes SHB occurs dramatically and temperature
increases in active region. In large hole diameter to pitch ratio, SHB has a little effect and temperature is decreased in
active region.
In this paper, a circuit model of a segmented traveling-wave Electroabsorption modulators is presented for the
circuit level simulation of single device or Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits (OEIC) including modulators. Using
this model, the frequency response of segmented TEAM are analyzed using HSPICE. The analysis indicates that
STEAM can achieve much wider bandwidth than the LEAM and TWEAM counterparts, with a small penalty in E/O
conversion gain if low loss passive optical waveguide is available.
In this paper, we discussed the behavior of bright soliton solutions to the NLS equation and their interactions then
investigated dark solitons and their formation within an attractive potential and applied them to Bose-Einstein
Condensation using fast and efficient finite difference scheme. We report numerical results for intersite collisions
between solitons in the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger model. We systematically examine the dependence of the
collision outcome on initial velocity and amplitude of the solitons, as well as on the phase shift between them, and
location of the collision point relative to the lattice.
A physical model for the analysis of dynamic response of a voltage- tunable optoelectronic integrated device is outlined.
The device is composed of an integrated quantum well Heterojunction Phototransistor (HPT) over a strained quantum
well Laser Diode. The quantum well structure Hamiltonian is numerically solved by transfer matrix method to obtain the
electron and hole subband energy levels taking in to account the valence band mixing effect and strain. In order to
calculate the electroabsorption coefficient, the exciton equation is solved numerically in momentum space using the
Gaussian quadrature method assuming parabolic band structure. Based on the model the device has two operation modes:
amplification for small optical feedback coefficient and switching for higher values.
A model based on the transfer matrix method (TMM), for the analysis of photon density distribution in three section
distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) Tunable Laser Diode, is presented. The key feature of the model is the use of
modified oscillation condition. This model provides longitudinal distribution of photon density in each section of laser
for different values of grating and phase current. It is shown that both grating and phase current caused to a downward
shift of photon density distribution profile. Simulation shows that, photon density distribution has peak at the active-passive
interface.
In this paper we calculate the spatial dependency of the spontaneous emission in semiconductor laser cavity using a
model based on transmission line laser method (TLLM). Results show that in the simple ridge laser structure, the major
part of the spontaneous emission occurs at the middle of the cavity and so uniform spontaneous emission can't be
assumed.
In this paper, we present the effect of grating structure on Relative Intensity Noise (RIN) in Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser diode. We analyze the noise in three types of grating shape including longitudinally uniform, concave and convex depth. It is shown that the concave grating against uniform and convex structure is suitable for reducing the Spatial Hole Burning (SHB) effect, but is not appropriate for low noise DFB lasers. According to the results of analysis, in uniform grating, RIN decreases when the corrugation depth increases. In concave and convex structure, grating depth is composed of fixed and variable parts. When fixed part of grating depth is constant, increasing variable amplitude of grating reduces RIN and when the variable part of grating is constant, increasing fixed part of grating reduces RIN. In all of the three type structures, RIN for the symmetric grating is lowest. Also with decreasing RIN, relaxation oscillation frequency decreases and when the SHB effect occurs, the rate of this decreasing is low. We conclude a special shape of grating that has low SHB effect and low noise in optical communication systems.
A new imaging method which can obtain the gray levels directly from the output waveform of Pulsed Laser Radar (PLR) is developed. A simple digital signal processing technique and multi layer perceptrons (MLP) type neural network (NN) have been used to obtain the gray level information from the pulse shapes. The method has been implemented in a real PLR to improve contrast and speed of 2D imaging in PLR. To compare the method with the standard method, a picture consists of 16 gray levels (from 0 for black to 1 for white) with both method has been scanned. Because of the ability of NNs in extracting the information from nonlinear and noisy data and preprocessing of the noisy input pulse shapes to the NN, the average and maximum of errors in the gray levels in comparison with standard method more than 88.5% and 72.6% improved, respectively. Because in this method the effect of the noise is decreased, it is possible to make the imaging with the same resolution as in standard method but with a lower averaging in sampling unit and this dramatically increases speed of the measurements.
