In order to be able to send as much information as possible in a short time, it is important that the laser has a large modulation bandwidth, i.e., the turn-on and turn-off time should be as short as possible. In analogue fiber optic systems for transmission of radio or television signals, it is also important that the light from the laser increases linearly with driving current. Otherwise, the transmitted signal will become distorted. The modulation bandwidth and the modulation distortion are dependent both on the laser structure and the gain characteristics of the active material. In order to develop a correct laser model for calculation of, e.g., distortion one need an accurate model of the dependence of gain on carrier and photon density. We show that different gain models, fitted to give exactly the same modulation response can have significantly different distortion behavior.","PeriodicalId":368970,"journal":{"name":"5th International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2003.

The presence of impurities and microstructure disturbance in the core and cladding materials may be responsible for propagation losses. Here we shall consider the influence of nonhomogeneity of cladding material on linearly-polarized LP/sub 01/-mode absorption in weakly guiding single-mode two-layered. The following model of fiber is proposed: a core with refraction index n1=1.45 - 1.445 (including dispersion effect for free wavelength /spl lambda/=1 16 /spl mu/m) and radius a=8 /spl mu/m and microvoids of radius R and concentration no embedded into cladding material. These small spheres have a thin film (size of d so that d/R/spl ap/0.01) with hydroxyl (OH-groups). It is known that core and cladding material in modern technology are formed by precipitation from vapour. We consider here the scattering at nonhomogeneities is only into cladding material because a core is formed usually at higher temperature that retard the implantation of hydroxyl. The one-oscillator model with damping have been used for calculation of film dielectric constant. We applied the relation of Maxwell-Garnett-type for calculation of effective dielectric permeability of slightly dispersed cladding material. After series of intricate transformations one may obtain the expression for imaginary part of cladding dielectric function that characterizes the absorption effect in the system. It is known that the parameters of linear-polarized LP/sub 01/-mode propagation into regular two-layer fibers may be obtained from specific characteristic equation. The approximation of perturbation theory is also used.","PeriodicalId":368970,"journal":{"name":"5th International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2003.

The study was realized in two essentially different kinematical regions: the noninterference region, where the Bunkin-Fedorov quantum parameters play the role of multiphoton parameters, and the interference region, where interference effects are important and where quantum interference parameter is treated as multiphoton parameter.

In particular, we are able to create three-dimensional arrays of optical traps and rotate them in three dimensions.

Due to the real-valued nature of the field (a consequence of the phase matching between pump and generated wave) one would expect the phase domains to be separated by \"black\" domain walls, across which the amplitude of the field crosses zero. However, we have experimentally observed that besides Ising fronts (real field) there are also Bloch fronts (complex field) in the field generated by degenerate four wave mixing in a BaTiO/sub 3/-resonator. We have applied the 2D Fourier transform technique and a fitting procedure for reconstructing the complex field and the phase and amplitude structure of the fronts. We find that the Fourier transform technique is more generally applicable and the experiment shows that it works well. Numerical solutions of the model are in a good agreement with the experiment concerning the presence of Ising and Bloch type fronts and changing in phase by /spl pi/ across the front (Bloch as well of Ising type). To allow further tests of this model, an improved version of the four wave mixing experiment has to be set.","PeriodicalId":368970,"journal":{"name":"5th International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2003.

One of conditions is excess of critical value of the hade. Thus, the critical angle is defined with respect to refractive index of the core and cover of fiber lightguide. In such cases, fiber transfer constant becomes dependent on wavelength, and optical fiber acquires filtering properties. One of the factor for determining presence of dispersion in the cover is the fiber bends. The usage of optical fiber bends to solve the tasks of optical signals filtration is of interest. Transfer characteristics of planar optical waveguide sections containing a bend are investigated in the offered work. The researches were carried out in the range of wavelengths 0,8-1,6 mkm. Thus, the dependence of the refraction index on wavelength was described by the Sellmeier's formula. The method of losses account on the optical waveguide bends, was used to define transfer characteristics. Calculations were carried out for optical waveguides consisting of different kinds of the optical glass. The results of calculations prove the presence of transmission characteristics dependence of optical waveguide bends on wavelength. This fact can successfully be used for creation of optical filters by choice of glass structure, radius and number of bends. The search and synthesis of new glass structures is of interest for this purpose.","PeriodicalId":368970,"journal":{"name":"5th International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2003.
