摘要： A fiber amplifier suitable for high power, narrow linewidth applications exhibits suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) by segmenting the fiber amplifier into separate portions that exhibit different Brillouin center frequencies. By changing the center frequencies in adjoining segments of the fiber amplifier, the backward-propagating Stokes signal is essentially blocked, and SBS is suppressed. In a preferred embodiment the segmentation is added to the terminating portion of the fiber amplifier. Various techniques, including temperature modifications, can be used to impart the desired center frequency shift.

摘要： An all-fiber optical pulse compression arrangement comprises a concatenated arrangement of a section of input fiber (e.g., a single mode fiber), a graded-index (GRIN) fiber lens and a section of pulse-compressing fiber (e.g., LMA fiber). The GRIN fiber lens is used to provide mode matching between the input fiber (supporting the propagation of chirped optical pulses) and the pulse-compressing fiber, with efficient pulse compression occurring along the length of the LMA fiber. The dispersion and length of the LMA fiber section are selected to provide the desired degree of pulse compression; for example, capable of reconstituting a femtosecond pulse as is used in supercontinuum generation systems.

摘要： A GRIN fiber lens is fabricated by the steps of providing a graded index glass preform, thinning the graded index preform to remove a sufficient thickness of the graded glass to establish a desired Δn, and drawing a graded index optical fiber from the thinned graded index preform. Thinning, in this context, refers to removal of graded index glass from the outside of the graded index preform so as to reduce its outer diameter. The thinning thus changes Δn which is the refractive index difference between the center of the preform and its outer surface. The graded index preform can be provided by MCVD deposition followed by removal of the starting tube glass, by OVD deposition, by VAD, or by ion exchange fabrication. The thinned graded index preform is advantageously annealed before drawing in order to minimize ripple. And, in a variation of the process, an overcladding can be applied over the thinned graded preform before draw for further adjustment or control of the Δn.
摘要翻译：通过以下步骤制造GRIN纤维透镜：提供渐变折射率玻璃预成型件，使渐变折射率预成型件变薄以去除足够厚度的渐变玻璃以建立所需的Deltan，并从减薄的渐变折射率预成型件。在本文中，变薄是指从分级折射率预成型件的外部去除渐变的折射率玻璃，从而减小其外径。变薄因此改变Deltan，Deltan是预成型件的中心与其外表面之间的折射率差。分级折射率预成型件可以通过MCVD沉积提供，然后通过OVD沉积，VAD或通过离子交换制造去除起始管玻璃。减薄的渐变折射率预成型件在拉伸之前有利地被退火，以使纹波最小化。而且，在该过程的变化中，可以在拉伸之前在薄化的梯度预成型件上施加外包以进一步调节或控制Deltan。

摘要： The output modal content of optical fibers that contain more than one spatial mode may be analyzed and quantified by measuring interference between co-propagating modes in the optical fiber. By spatially resolving the interference, an image of the spatial beat pattern between two modes may be constructed, thereby providing information about the modes supported by the optical fiber. Measurements of the phase front exiting the optical fiber under test are advantageously performed in the far field.

摘要： When transmitting in higher-order modes (HOMs), the chances of dielectric breakdown in the bulk glass can be reduced by judicious selection of the mode of transmission. Since energy distributions in the HOM profile change with the mode order, one can calculate the peak intensity for any given HOM. Correspondingly, one can calculate whether any portion of the transmitted pulse will exceed the breakdown threshold for the optical fiber through which the HOM signal is being transmitted. Should the calculated energy exceed the dielectric breakdown threshold, another HOM with a lower peak intensity can be selected for signal transmission. Disclosed are systems and methods for selecting an appropriate HOM to reduce the likelihood of dielectric breakdown.
摘要翻译：当以高阶模式（HOM）传输时，通过明智地选择传输模式可以减小散装玻璃中介质击穿的可能性。由于HOM曲线中的能量分布以模式顺序改变，所以可以计算任何给定HOM的峰值强度。相应地，可以计算发射脉冲的任何部分是否将超过发送HOM信号的光纤的击穿阈值。如果计算能量超过介质击穿阈值，则可以选择具有较低峰值强度的另一个HOM进行信号传输。公开了用于选择合适的HOM以减少电介质击穿可能性的系统和方法。

摘要： A fiber characterization arrangement utilizes Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) to measure the cross-section of optical fibers, thus providing information sub-surface features, coating thickness/concentricity and stress-induced birefringence under tension. The FDOCT technique can also be used to study microstructured fibers. By making FDOCT measurements on a fiber placed in a cavity, the geometric and optical thickness of the fiber can be simultaneously measured, allowing for the determination of the refractive index of the fiber.

摘要： The specification describes optical fiber gain devices, such as lasers and amplifiers, wherein losses due to a large step transition between an input section and a gain section are reduced by inserting an adiabatic transformer between the input section and the gain section. In the preferred case the adiabatic transformer comprises a GRadient INdex (GRIN) lens. The lens serves as an adiabatic beam expander (reducer) to controllably increase (reduce) the modefield of the beam as it travels through the step transition.
