Arbitrary-bandwidth Brillouin slow light in optical fibers

Brillouin slow light in optical fibers is a promising technique for the development of all-optical buffers to be used in optical routers. The main drawback of this technique up to now has been its narrow bandwidth, normally restricted to 35 MHz in conventi ...

Broad-bandwidth Brillouin slow light in optical fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Kwang-Yong Song

We experimentally demonstrate that Brillouin slow light with an arbitrary large bandwidth can be readily obtained in conventional optical fibers using a simple and inexpensive pump spectral broadening technique ...

Fiber optics opens window on stream dynamics

Marc Parlange, Nicolaas Cornelis van de Giesen

A new approach to monitoring surface waters using distributed fiber optic temperature sensing is presented, allowing resolutions of temperature of 0.01°C every meter along a fiber optic cable of up to 10,000 m in length. We illustrate the potential of this ...

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 ...

Multi-hydrogenated compounds monitoring in optical fibre manufacturing process by photoacoustic spectroscopy

Luc Thévenaz, Jean-Philippe Besson

Sub-ppm hydrogen chloride (HCl) and water vapour (H2O) monitoring using photoacoustic spectroscopy in optical fibre manufacturing is reported. The development and performance of a sensor based on an acoustic resonant configuration is described, and on-site ...

Capacity enhancement in coherent optical MIMO (COMIMO) multimode fiber links

Ali H. Sayed

In this paper, we study a coherent optical MIMO (COMIEMO) multi-mode fiber link proposed for enhancing the fiber information capacity. We examine the statistical characterization of the equivalent MIMO channel and the improvement in the fiber capacity due ...

Flexible Slow and Fast Light in Optical Fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin, Kwang-Yong Song

A method to achieve an extremely wide and flexible control of the group velocity in an optical fiber using stimulated Brillouin scattering is presented. Group velocities below 71,000 km/s on one hand, well exceeding the speed of light in vacuum on the othe ...

MEMS compatible micro-GRIN lenses for fiber to chip coupling of light

Nico de Rooij, Wilfried Noell

Graded-Index (GRIN) lenses with a diameter of 125 μm are presented. This diameter enables the assembly of the GRIN lenses onto an optical micro-system using the same passive alignment grooves as used for the light carrying optical fibers. In contrast to re ...

Lightning-induced currents in buried coaxial cables

Mario Paolone, Emanuel Petrache

We present a review of theoretical methods to compute lightning-induced currents and voltages on buried cables. The evaluation of such induced disturbances requires the calculation of the electric field produced by lightning along the cable path. We show t ...

Inelastic Strain Birefringence in Optical Fibers

René Salathé, Hans Georg Limberger, Florian Dürr

Retardation data captured by polarimetric stress-measurements in optical fibers have been reinterpreted in terms of both stress and inelastic strain. The linear dependence of strain birefringence on fiber drawing tension defines the Kohlrausch-Williams-Wat ...
