A broadband optical amplifier for operation in the 2 μm visible wavelength band is based upon a single-clad Ho-doped fiber amplifier (HDFA). A compact pump source uses a combination of discrete laser diode with a fiber laser (which may be a dual-stage fiber laser) to create a pump output beam at a wavelength associated with creating gain in the presence of Ho ions (an exemplary pump wavelength being 1940 nm). The broadband optical amplifier may take the form of a single stage amplifier or a multi-stage amplifier, and may utilize a co-propagating pump and/or a counter-propagating pump arrangement.

20230059478 · 2023-02-23 · ·

An amplified hollow-core fiber (HCF) optical transmission system for low latency communications. The optical transmission system comprises a low-latency amplified HCF cable. The low-latency amplified HCF cable comprises multiple HCF segments (or HCF spans). Between consecutive HCF segments, the system comprises low-latency remote optically pumped amplifiers (ROPAs). Each ROPA comprises a gain fiber, a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) coupler, and an optical isolator. Preferably, the ROPAs are integrated into the HCF cable. Each ROPA is pumped by a remote optical pump source, which provides pump light to the gain fiber. The gain fiber receives an optical transmission signal from the HCF. The WDM coupler combines the pump light with the optical transmission signal, thereby allowing the gain fiber to amplify the optical transmission signal to an amplified transmission signal. The amplified signal is transmitted to another HCF segment through the optical isolator.

STRUCTURED SILICA CLAD SILICA OPTICAL FIBERS

A new type of all-silica optical fiber is described; a Structured Silica Clad Silica (SSCS) optical fiber, whose cladding is structured to provide mode mixing within the core; and/or to have an average effective refractive index. Its cross-section is essentially symmetrical, it can be used, among other objects, to provide flatter, more speckle-free outputs from fiber lasers, or other limited mode photonic sources. Building the new fiber structure around a rare earth doped laser core provides a better fiber laser/amplifier for cladding pumping. The structured silica cladding contains paired layers, in which a down doped silica layer is followed by a layer of pure, or lesser down-doped, or even up-dope silica, and die number of paired layers is, typically, from 5 to about 25, and, generally, within the paired layers the ratio of thickness of the higher RI layer of silicate the down-doped silica is very broad, lying between about 0.0625 to about 16, depending on the intended use of the SSCS fibers. In some versions, the main core material can be up-doped silica with pure silica or down-doped silica as the primary second component.

EHz ultrafast modulated pulse scanning laser and distributed fiber sensing system

An EHz ultrafast modulated pulse scanning laser and a distributed fiber sensing system. A plurality of phase-shift gratings are engraved on a doped fiber, the phase-shift gratings having different central window wavelengths and a wavelength interval between the adjacent central window wavelengths being a preset fixed value. When a pump light emitted by a pump laser source is coupled by a wavelength division multiplexer and enters the doped fiber, a single-mode narrow-linewidth laser light having multiple wavelengths with a wavelength interval being a preset fixed value can be generated, by using the phase-shift gratings graved on the doped fiber. The ultrafast modulation is completed by using a time-domain control method based on an EOM. An internally frequency converted pulse light formed by splicing pulse lights whose frequencies linearly increase is obtained, thus forming the EHz ultrafast modulation of a distributed feedback fiber laser. In this way, a coherence length of an output laser light is increased while a frequency of the laser light is remained.
