40 km long-range Raman-based distributed temperature sensor with meter-scale spatial resolution

We propose a new Raman based distributed measurement technique which allows for temperature sensing over nearly 40 km of graded index multimode optical fiber with meter-scale spatial resolution and temperature accuracy better than 3°C. © 2010 Optical Socie ...

Polarization Evolution of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Amplified Signals in Standard Fibers

Luc Thévenaz

The polarization evolution of stimulated Brillouin scattering amplified signals in the presence of fiber birefringence is examined in analysis, simulation and experiment. The signal polarization is drawn towards the conjugate of the pump polarization. ...

Self-advanced fast light propagation in an optical fiber based on Brillouin scattering

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

We experimentally demonstrate an extremely simple technique to achieve pulse advancements in optical fibers by using both spontaneous amplified and stimulated Brillouin scattering. It is shown that the group velocity of a light signal is all-optically cont ...

"Plug and Play" single photons at 1.3 mu m approaching gigahertz operation

Blandine Alloing

We report a "plug and play" single photon source, fully integrated with an optical fiber, emitting at 1.3 mu m. Micropillars were patterned on a single layer InAs quantum dot wafer to guarantee a single pillar per fiber core. The single exciton peak filter ...

Zero-gain slow and fast light propagation in an optical fiber

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

Slow and fast light with null amplification or loss of a light signal is experimentally demonstrated. This novel method for producing zero-gain slow and fast light takes advantage of the great flexibility of stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fiber ...
