Abstract

Under The nonlinear optics condition the all-fiber optical bistability operation has been realized in an all-fiber resonator consisted of Er-doped fiber and optical fiber couplers. The experimental bistability threshold is consistent with the theory.

Nonlinear optical fiber resonator: Optical fiber bistability

Yuancheng Zhang, Qian Song

The linear and nonlinear charecteristics of verious optical fiber loop resonators have been processed uniformly using transmission matrix method. It is pointed that in nonlinear operation condition each of those optical fiber loop resonators may be used to make an all-optical fiber bistability device. The configuration, charecterictics and threshold of verious Er-doped fiber loop bistability devices have been calculated, analysised and compared, and the design principle of those devices has been given.

Optical fiber grating bistability

Yuancheng Zhang, Qian Song

It is proposed that a segment of Er-doped fiber with a couple of fiber gratings on the ends may be used as a novel optical bistability device with low power and high speed. Operation and bistability threshold of device are analysed in accordance with the distributed feedback couple-mode theory and the nonlinear characteristic of Er-doped fiber. It is shown that a nanoseconds microwatts bistable operation of a centimeter device is realizable under nowaday technological condition.

Kerr bistability in a 3 × 3 coupler optical fiber ring resonator

Y. H. Ja

We present a theoretical study of bistability in an optical fiber ring resonator connected to a 3 × 3 fiber coupler. The bistability is caused by the Kerr effect when the ring resonator is working in the nonlinear regime. The dependence of the bistability on various parameters of the fiber and the coupler is investigated.
