Processes those are responsible for an increase in the wavelength of a light pulse propagating in any optical medium owing to the electrostriction effect are considered. It is shown that the decrease in the light pulse frequency can be explained by exciting disturbances in the optical medium. As a result, a part of the pulse energy is taken away and the red shift of the light takes place. Among various self-action effects at propagation of an intense light in a nonlinear optical medium such as self-trapping, self-focusing, self-confinement, optical bistability, optical solitons, there is once more self-action effect connected with a gradual increase in the light pulse wavelength. Estimations of the light wavelength increase are presented.","PeriodicalId":368970,"journal":{"name":"5th International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2003.

It is especially useful in medium to short distance digital links (e.g. metropolitan and local area networks) where the excess pulse dispersion due to laser chirp is not a critical issue. The linear current to light conversion makes it also interesting for transmission of analogue signals over fiber (CATV and microwave links). In both cases a high bandwidth is needed in order to maximize the transmission capacity and retain good distortion characteristics. For single section DFB lasers with low electrical parasitics, the bandwidth is mainly determined by the differential gain of the active material. There has been little progress in improving this material parameter lately beyond what was achieved with the introduction of strained quantum wells. A theoretical and experimental investigation of another approach to further improve the modulation bandwidth, namely by utilizing the dispersive feedback from a detuned Bragg grating in a DBR laser.","PeriodicalId":368970,"journal":{"name":"5th International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2003.

Optical wave packet which is localized both in space in the form of the narrow beam and in time in the form of the short pulse is called \"light bullet\". Power ultra short laser pulse with Gaussian spatial-temporal profile induces in the waveguide with Kerr nonlinearity light field with the same profile. Other nonlinearities have finite time of the response and cannot determine properties of squeezed, in space and time, light bullets. It is known that in Kerr nonlinear medium only 1-dimensional spatial solitons are stable. Nevertheless, soliton squeezing process takes finite period of time and some distance in space. Nowadays laser pulses of femtosecond and even picosecond range are available. For the case of ordinary spatial solitons the estimation for the focal length of the collapse is well-known and is of the order of 10/sup -3/ cm. Spatial extension of the femtosecond light bullet is by 3-4 orders of magnitude less than the focal length of the collapse. Thus light bullet just doesn't have enough time to collapse at such a short distance and the focus of the collapse moves all the time at some distance ahead of the light bullet along with the bullet propagating in the waveguide. Our studies show that in the cases of spherically symmetrical and elliptical waveguides both transverse dimensions and temporal duration of the light bullet slightly oscillates along with the pulse propagating in the waveguide. This confirms stability of the light bullets in the waveguides with Kerr nonlinearity.","PeriodicalId":368970,"journal":{"name":"5th International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2003.

One of specific features of optical communications systems and networks consists in the fact that it is rather difficult to realize in them storing of the data for any arbitrary time interval. Usually there is only an opportunity to use fixed short-term delay of light signals in special delay lines. In the present contribution an example of all-optical active network device is presented which is free of the specified drawback and performs the functions of switching and a temporary data storage. Operation of the device is based on the use of phenomena of optical hysteresis and transverse effects in optical bistability (OB). As model bistable medium for breadboarding components of the proposed device nonlinear thin-film semiconductor Fabry-Perot interferometers (TFI) on the basis of ZnS are considered. Functionality of multiplexers/demultiplexers (M/DM) in the nodes of optical communication lines and networks can be increased if the M/DM is supplemented with the buffer memory which stores the data packets received for the period when their headers are analyzed and decisions are made about their further addressing.","PeriodicalId":368970,"journal":{"name":"5th International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2003.

Instead, one must simply formulate the lasing eigen value problem with a finite-size photonic crystal encasing a laser resonator and study the reduction of the thresholds as a function of elementary cell size, topology, filling, and number.","PeriodicalId":368970,"journal":{"name":"5th International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2003.
