  • Equalization-Enhanced Phase Noise in Stokes-Vector Direct Detection Systems
    IEEE Photonics Journal, 2016
    Co-Authors: Qunbi Zhuge, Mathieu Chagnon, Thang M. Hoang, Meng Xiang, Mohammed Y S Sowailem, Xingyu Zhou, Fangyuan Zhang, David V Plant
    Abstract:

    In this work, we provide both numerical and experimental investigations of equalization-enhanced phase noise (EEPN) in Stokes-vector direct detection (SV-DD) systems. We show that the influence of EEPN cannot be neglected in high symbol rate SV-DD systems after transmission over several hundred kilometers of fibers when electronic chromatic dispersion compensation and Lasers with Linewidths of the order of Megahertz are employed. Simulation results are presented to evaluate the dependence of EEPN effects on Laser Linewidth, transmission distance, and symbol rate. Experiments are then conducted in a 56-Gbaud 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) SV-DD system to demonstrate the EEPN-induced performance degradation after 320-km transmission over standard single mode fiber (SSMF).

  • equalization enhanced phase noise in stokes vector direct detection systems
    Optical Fiber Communication Conference, 2016
    Co-Authors: Meng Qiu, Qunbi Zhuge, Mathieu Chagnon, David V Plant
    Abstract:

    We numerically show that the Laser Linewidth tolerance of Stokes-vector direct detection systems is limited by equalization-enhanced phase noise (EEPN). We also demonstrate the mitigation of the EEPN influence using maximum likelihood phase compensation.

  • 1 95 μm khz Linewidth single frequency fiber Laser using self developed heavily tm3 doped germanate glass fiber
    Optics Express, 2013
    Co-Authors: Changsheng Yang, Qi Yang, Dongdan Chen, Zhongmin Yang
    Abstract:

    We demonstrated a kHz-Linewidth single-frequency Laser at 1.95 μm using the self-developed heavily Tm(3+)-doped single-mode germanate glass fiber with the net gain coefficient of 2.3 dB per centimeter. The maximum output power of the stable single longitudinal mode continuous wave Laser is over 200 mW. The slope efficiency measured versus the absorbed pump power is 34.8%, the signal-to-noise ratio is higher than 68 dB and Laser Linewidth is less than 7 kHz. A wavelength-tuning from 1949.55 to 1951.23 nm was also demonstrated based on changing the tension on the fiber Bragg grating outside the cavity.

  • low noise single frequency single polarization ytterbium doped phosphate fiber Laser at 1083 nm
    Optics Letters, 2013
    Co-Authors: Weinan Zhang, Changsheng Yang, Xiaoming Wei, Zhouming Feng, Qi Qian, Shaoxiong Shen, Mingying Peng, Qinyuan Zhang, Zhongmin Yang
    Abstract:

    We present a low noise single-frequency and single-polarization distributed Bragg reflector fiber Laser at 1083 nm by using a 1.8 cm long newly developed ytterbium-doped phosphate single mode glass fiber. The maximum output power is more than 100 mW with a slope efficiency of >29.6%. The signal to noise ratio is higher than 61 dB and the Laser Linewidth of less than 2 kHz is estimated. The obtained relative intensity noise for frequencies of over 4.0 MHz is less than −150  dB/Hz, which approaches the shot noise limit. The achieved linear polarization extinction ratio is more than 30 dB.

  • spectroscopy and frequency measurement of the 87 sr clock transition by Laser Linewidth transfer using an optical frequency comb
    arXiv: Atomic Physics, 2014
    Co-Authors: Daisuke Akamatsu, Masami Yasuda, Atsushi Onae, Hajime Inaba, Kazumoto Hosaka, Tomonari Suzuyama, Masaki Amemiya, Feng-lei Hong
    Abstract:

    We perform spectroscopic observations of the 698-nm clock transition in $^{87}$Sr confined in an optical lattice using a Laser Linewidth transfer technique. A narrow-Linewidth Laser interrogating the clock transition is prepared by transferring the Linewidth of a master Laser (1064 nm) to that of a slave Laser (698 nm) with a high-speed controllable fiber-based frequency comb. The Fourier-limited spectrum is observed for an 80-ms interrogating pulse. We determine that the absolute frequency of the 5s$^{2}$ $^{1}$S$_{0}$ - 5s5p $^{3}$P$_{0}$ clock transition in $^{87}$Sr is 429 228 004 229 872.0 (1.6) Hz referenced to the SI second.

  • spectroscopy of 171yb in an optical lattice based on Laser Linewidth transfer using a narrow Linewidth frequency comb
    Optics Express, 2013
    Co-Authors: Hajime Inaba, Masami Yasuda, Atsushi Onae, Daisuke Akamatsu, Kazumoto Hosaka, Yoshiaki Nakajima, Kana Iwakuni, Sho Okubo, Takuya Kohno, Feng-lei Hong
    Abstract:

    We propose a novel, high-performance, and practical Laser source system for optical clocks. The Laser Linewidth of a fiber-based frequency comb is reduced by phase locking a comb mode to an ultrastable master Laser at 1064 nm with a broad servo bandwidth. A slave Laser at 578 nm is successively phase locked to a comb mode at 578 nm with a broad servo bandwidth without any pre-stabilization. Laser frequency characteristics such as spectral Linewidth and frequency stability are transferred to the 578-nm slave Laser from the 1064-nm master Laser. Using the slave Laser, we have succeeded in observing the clock transition of 171Yb atoms confined in an optical lattice with a 20-Hz spectral Linewidth.

  • CaF2 whispering-gallery-mode-resonator stabilized-narrow-Linewidth Laser.
    Optics Letters, 2010
    Co-Authors: B Sprenger, Harald G L Schwefel, S Svitlov, Zehuang Lu, Lijun Wang
    Abstract:

    A fiber Laser is stabilized by introducing a calcium fluoride (CaF2) whispering-gallery-mode resonator as a filtering element in a ring cavity. It is set up using a semiconductor optical amplifier as a gain medium. The resonator is critically coupled through prisms, and used as a filtering element to suppress the Laser Linewidth. A three-cornered-hat method is used and shows a stability of 10−11 after 10μs. Using the self-heterodyne beat technique, the Linewidth is determined to be 13kHz. This implies an enhancement factor of 103 with respect to the passive cavity Linewidth.
