Abstract

In this paper we report experimental investigation of slow light generation via SBS in Standard Single Mode Fiber (SSMF) and Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF). The slow light region has been characterized in terms of gain, phase change and delay of optical probe signal as it swept across the narrowband slow light region.

Observation of the fast and slow light in an optical fiber based on SBS gain region

Shoujun Zhang, Xiaoyan Li, Xianpu Su +3 more

Fast and slow light in optical fibers was a powerful tool for future all-optical networks. We observed fast and slow light based on the stimulated Brillouin scattering using the gain region in optical fibers just adjusting the pump power experimentally. In this paper, the time delay as a function of the pump signal power, Stokes signal power and the fiber length were studied.

Slow light generation using SBS in a liquid-core photonic crystal fiber

Wenbin An, Haiming Jiang, Yinjia Fang +3 more

Based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), the slow light effect in photonic crystal fibre (PCF), which is filled with highly nonlinear liquid-carbon disuphide in the core region, is investigated. Maximum allowable pump power for undistorted output pulse, minimum value of pump power required to initiate the SBS effect, Brillouin gain and time-tonic delay experienced by the pulse in the designed liquid-core photonic crystal fibre, are all calculated numerically. We have found that the maximum time-delay up to ∼134.4 ns at 1.064 μm can be obtained using 1 m long liquid-core PCF pumped with only 65.8 mW, which is lower than the value reported in the literature for achieving such a high delay time. The results indicate that liquid-core PCF is capable of generating tunable time-delay that is adjusted by the pump power and structural parameters of the proposed liquid-core PCF.

Slow light with a swept-frequency source

Rui Zhang, Yunhui Zhu, Jing Wang +1 more

ct: We introduce a new concept for stimulated-Brillouin-scattering-based slow light in optical fibers that is applicable for broadly-tunable frequency-swept sources. It allows slow light to be achieved, in principle, over the entire transparency window of the optical fiber. We demonstrate a slow light delay of 10 ns at 1.55 μm using a 10-m-long photonic crystal fiber with a source sweep rate of 400 MHz/μs and a pump power of 200 mW. We also show that there exists a maximal delay obtainable by this method, which is set by the SBS threshold, independent of sweep rate. For our fiber with optimum length, this maximum delay is ~38 ns, obtained for a pump power of 760 mW.
