    Description: We report a fast and efficient method for permanently correcting fabrication-induced phase errors in silicon photonic circuits. The method uses femtosecond laser pulses at 400-nm wavelength to amorphize a thin layer of crystalline silicon near the waveguide surface, thereby inducing a change in the effective index of the waveguide. Using a single femtosecond laser pulse, we reduced the polarization-dependent frequency shift between the two interferometers of a polarization diversity differential phase shift keying silicon demodulator from 11 GHz to less than 0.5 GHz, thereby restoring the polarization diversity operation of the circuit with little degradation to the circuit performance.

    Description: A refined model of a mid-IR amplifier, constituted by a tapered chalcogenide fiber coupled to an erbium-doped chalcogenide microsphere, is integrated with a global solution search procedure based on particle swarm optimization approach. It is implemented in a computer code in order to obtain an inversion algorithm useful to evaluate the spectroscopic parameters of rare-earth-doped glass microspheres. The rare earth parameters can be recovered by means of the optical gain measurement. The error in evaluation of the erbium lifetime $tau _{41}$ is <3.5%. It is <0.5% for the other lifetimes and ion–ion interaction parameters. These excellent results are obtained since whispering gallery mode electromagnetic field interacts with rare earth for long effective distances.

    Description: We demonstrate an integrated spectral shaper based on a Sagnac loop incorporating a chirped Bragg grating in silicon photonics for the photonic generation of chirped microwave pulses. The technique is based on optical spectral shaping combined with linear frequency-to-time mapping. By tuning the central wavelength of the input optical pulse, we obtain chirped microwave pulses with central frequencies ranging from $sim 10$ GHz to $sim 30$ GHz and an RF chirp rate of $sim 20$ GHz/ns with both positive and negative signs.

    Description: A system based on phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry is proposed for simultaneously strain and vibration sensing. The strain of fiber is detected by comparing the patterns of signal for different laser frequencies, and the vibration of fiber is detected simultaneously from the signals for any certain laser frequency. During the measurement, frequencies of the probe optical pulses are modulated sequentially in ascending or descending order. Using the signals generated by optical pulses with the same frequency, the vibration of fiber is detected with fast response speed; using that with different frequencies, the strain of fiber is detected with high resolution. In our experiment, a sensing system with 2-m spatial resolution, up to 1-kHz frequency measurement range and 10- $text{n}{{varepsilon }}$ strain resolution is realized for a 9-km sensing fiber length.

    Description: We report on the design, fabrication, and optical characterization of InN-based optical waveguides aiming at their application as all-optical limiters at 1.55 $mu text{m}$ . The InN guiding layers are grown by radio frequency (RF) sputtering on sapphire substrates. Experimental cutback method and nonlinear optical transmittance measurements were performed for the developed devices. The waveguides present nonlinear behavior associated with two photon absorption process. A nonlinear absorption coefficient ranging from $sim 43$ to 114 cm/GW is estimated from optical measurements. These results open the possibility of using RF sputtering as a low cost and thermally harmless technique for the development and overgrowth of InN-based optical waveguides in future III-nitride all-optical integrated circuits working at telecom wavelengths.

    Description: A new simple structure of ultrahigh birefringent and ultrahigh nonlinear slot silicon microfiber with highly efficient dispersion reduction is proposed and numerically simulated using the full-vector finite-element method with anisotropic perfectly matched layers. Benefiting from the slot effect-induced sub-wavelength mode confinement, ultrahigh birefringence up to the order of $10^{mathrm {{-1}}}$ can be realized within a wide wavelength range from 1.4 to 1.7 $mu text{m}$ , which is comparable with the results in these ultrahigh birefringent photonic crystal fibers, but cannot be achieved in traditional microfibers. Meanwhile, the nonlinear coefficients of quasi-TE mode and quasi-TM mode at the wavelength of 1.55 $mu text{m}$ are as high as 969.58 $text{W}^{mathrm {{-1}}}text{m}^{mathrm {{-1}}}$ and 156.74 $text{W}^{mathrm {{-1}}}text{m}^{mathrm {{-1}}}$ , respectively. Furthermore, the dispersion value of quasi-TE mode at 1.55 $mu text{m}$ can be decreased from $1.2358times 10^{mathrm {{3}}}$ ps/(nm $cdot $ km) to 0 ps/(nm $cdot $ km) simply by modifying the slot size. Owing to its excellent performance, the proposed slot silicon microfiber will have great potential for polarization maintaining nonlinear signal processing applications.

    Description: Pulse-amplitude-modulated discrete multitone (PAM-DMT) modulation is an optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing scheme, which is compatible with intensity modulation and direct detection channel. In the conventional receiver for PAM-DMT, only the imaginary parts of subcarriers are detected, while the real parts are considered as clipping noise and simply discarded, causing insufficient usage of the received power. This letter proposes a new receiver characterizing temporal and spectral diversity combining for PAM-DMT, which extracts the effective information in clipping noise to recover the data. The proposed receiver achieves a better performance than the conventional receiver with a gain of at least 2.3 dB in ${E_{b}}/{N_{0}}$ at the system bit error rate of $10^{-5}$ in additive white Gaussian noise channel by simulation when using 4-PAM modulation.

    Description: A novel low cost and simple temperature sensor based on multimode interference (MMI) is formed by a successive singlemode fiber (SMF)-bent multimode fiber (MMF)-SMF structure. Due to the small curvature radius of bent MMF section mimicking a balloon shape, MMI effect from the core is spreading into coating. The high temperature sensitivity is mainly due to the large thermo-optical coefficient of the existing acrylate coating of the MMF fiber. A temperature sensitivity of up to −2060 pm/°C and −25.1 nW/°C for wavelength- and intensity-based interrogation, respectively, have been achieved in the range between 27 °C and 31 °C. This sensor is most suitable in high sensitivity and low-temperature application such as the measurement of human body temperature.

    Description: We reported the observation of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) from silicon microspheres in $C$ -band with a biconical tapered fiber-microsphere coupled system. We experimentally studied the resonant transmission spectra with broadband light source and optical spectrum analyzer, and measured the X-ray diffraction pattern of silicon microspheres. We analyzed the WGMs of silicon microspheres, the full-width at half-maximum was 0.12 nm, and the dip of the transmission spectra was 3.5 dB (55% of the incident power). The $Q$ factor of the silicon microsphere was $1.3 times 10 ^{4}$ . The Raman gain coefficient in silicon is rather strong and the energy density of microsphere resonator is rather high, so the silicon microsphere resonator possesses broad application prospect in optical communication fields, including filter, modulator, switch, wavelength converter, amplifier, Raman laser source, and so on.

    Description: It is difficult to manipulate the pulse distribution of a multipulse passively mode-locked fiber laser, and an effective solution is yet to be demonstrated. Here, we all-optically manipulate the pulsing of a mode-locked fiber ring laser at a telecommunication window (1.5 $mu text{m}$ ) by an optical pattern at 1 $mu text{m}$ . It can be demonstrated as an effective solution by examining different optical patterns modulated on an external laser source. In particular, the minimum pulse separation being manipulated by the external optical pattern can be shorter than 20 ps. It is noted that, with such a large wavelength separation between the cavity and the external sources, i.e., $sim 1550$ and 1060 nm, respectively, our scheme can simultaneously serve as an ultra-wideband wavelength convertor.
