Abstract

According to the transition rates equation of the ground state population and the propagation equation,the numerical model of the group velocity slowdown was established. The relationship between the gain and pump power was analysized. In the absorption area of Tm3 +-dopedoptical fiber,the oscillation leads the pulse to experience absorption saturation,and the propagation delays.In the gain area of Tm3 +-doped optical fiber,this effect induces the pulse to experience gain saturation,and the propagation is in advance. According to the theoretical calculation,the group velocity slowdown is tunable due to coherent population oscillation in the Tm3 +-doped optical fiber amplifier at room temperature.

Group velocity of the optical pulse propagation would be reduced based on coherent population oscillation effect in an absorbing medium. According to the absorption properties of erbium-doped optical fiber, there would appear a sharp absorption loss, which brought more difficulties to the actual measurement of slow light and its application in communications. From the ground rate equation of erbium-ion, the delay of optical pulse was simulated under controllable absorption loss， and experiments were implemented to verify the theoretical results. Moreover, we researched how the different pump power and fiber length effect the signal loss and the optical pulse delay.

Abstract The relationship between the oscillation of a metastable population and the slow light propagation in a Tm 3+ -doped optical fiber at room temperature is discussed. We study the influencing factors of the metastable population oscillation, such as the length of the Tm 3+ -doped fiber, the input signal power and the pump power. Further, we obtain the relationships between the length of the Tm 3+ -doped optical fiber, the input signal power and the pump power and the oscillation of metastable population in order to slow down the light pulse propagation speed through an optical fiber at room temperature.

We investigated the variations of group velocity slowdown in erbium-doped optical fiber. According to the population oscillation effect, the numerical model of the group velocity slowdown was established. From the theoretical calculation, the group velocity slowdown is tunable due to the variety of steady ground state erbium ion population [Formula: see text]. To validate the effect of ion population for slow light, the experimental research was implemented via highly-doped erbium fiber.

The theoretical model and numerical simulations are established by the rate equation of thulium ion. Using the coherent population oscillation effect, we realize the controllable light velocity in the thulium doped fiber. We show that coherent population oscillations effect produces a very narrow spectral hole and anti-holes in the spectrum. The hole caused the amplitude modulation beam experience a large change of the group of refractive index, and makes us to achieve fast light propagation. Therefore, the pump intensity can be used as a control parameter to increase the fractional advance. In addition, we can confirm that the larger input intensity can lead to large time advancement, and saturation phenomenon of fast light exists in low frequency.

The research on saturation of fast light in homogeneously broaden materials with gain

According to the analysis of gain theory, the absorption or gain of medium depends on pump power. The coherent population oscillation leads the pulse to experience absorption saturation and propagation delay in a medium with absorption. This effect induces the pulse to experience gain saturation and propagation advance in a medium with gain. Making use of the transition rate equation of metastable state poplation, we develop the model of fast light in erbium-doped optical fiber and obtain the analytic expression of time advance. We demonstrate that there is a saturation effect of fast light in low frequency region, but the fast light is enhanced with pump power increasing in high frequency region.

Slowdown of group velocity of light pulse in erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier under no absorption loss at a room temperature

Qiu Wei, Ma Ying-Chi, L uuml Pin +3 more

Because of the absorption of erbium-doped optical fiber, the group velocity of the optical pulse propagation is slowed down and the intensity of signal is reduced, which brings more difficulties to the actual measurement of slow light and its application in communications, such as the distortion and the low measurement.Therefore only after the group velocity slowdown of light pulse in erbium-doped optical fiber under no absorption loss is realized, can the slow light technology really have the practical application. We investigate the erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier deeply and develop a technology, in which the different pump powers and fiber lengths are used to reduce the signal loss through theoretical calculation and realize the group velocity slowdown of light pulse. The results show that no absorption loss is realized at a pump power of 3.5 mW, and we realize the slow light with a fiber length of 0.1 m when the pump power is zero.
