Induced Transparency and Slow-Light Effect on a Brillouin Anti-Stokes Wave by Brillouin Scattering Processes in Short Optical Fibers

Abstract

Here, we theoretically and numerically analyze the abnormal SBS combined with BEFWM in short optical fibers, and report that EIT-like Brillouin-induced transparency and slow-light effects can occur to the anti-Stokes in short optical fibers.

Nearly transparent SBS slow light in an optical fiber

Zhaoming Zhu, Daniel J. Gauthier

Slow-light delay via stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in optical fibers is usually achieved with delay-dependent amplification that degrades system performance. To address this problem, we propose a SBS slow-light method that makes use of two widely separated anti-Stokes absorption resonances, and achieve nearly transparent slow light in an optical fiber. We demonstrate the method in a highly nonlinear optical fiber, and achieve a slow-light bandwidth of approximately 150 MHz and a relative of delay of approximately 0.3 for approximately 9-ns pulses with a signal attenuation of approximately 4.8 dB.

Broadband SBS Slow Light in an Optical Fiber

Zhaoming Zhu, Andrew M. C. Dawes, Daniel J. Gauthier +2 more

In this paper, we investigate slow light via stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a room temperature optical fiber that is pumped by a spectrally broadened laser. Broadening the spectrum of the pump field increases the linewidth Deltaomegapof the Stokes amplifying resonance, thereby increasing the slow-light bandwidth. One physical bandwidth limitation occurs when the linewidth becomes several times larger than the Brillouin frequency shift OmegaBso that the anti-Stokes absorbing resonance substantially cancels out the Stokes amplifying resonance and, hence, the slow-light effect. We find that partial overlap of the Stokes and anti-Stokes resonances can actually lead to an enhancement of the slow-light delay-bandwidth product when Deltaomegapsime1.3OmegaB. Using this general approach, we increase the Brillouin slow-light bandwidth to over 12 GHz from its nominal linewidth of ~30 MHz obtained for monochromatic pumping. We controllably delay 75-ps-long pulses by up to 47 ps and study the data-pattern dependence of the broadband SBS slow-light system

Stimulated Brillouin scattering slow light in optical fibers [Invited]

Avi Zadok, Avishay Eyal, Moshe Tur

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) has become a favorable underlying mechanism in many demonstrations of all-optical variable delay in standard fibers, often referred to as slow and fast light. Over 100 journal papers and numerous conference sessions have been dedicated to SBS slow light since 2005. In this paper, recent research in this area is reviewed. Following a short introduction to the topic, several specific trends in contemporary work are highlighted: the optimization of the SBS pump spectrum for extended slow light delay and reduced pulse distortion; SBS slow light demonstrations in nonstandard, highly nonlinear fibers; applications of SBS slow light to the delay of analog waveforms; and the role of polarization. Finally, a brief concluding perspective is provided.

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.
