为进一步研究光子晶体光纤中涡旋光的传输特性,提出了3种不同结构的涡旋光光子晶体光纤,即三角晶格环形光子晶体光纤(TLPCF)、折射率倒转抛物线式光子晶体光纤(IPGIF)和六重准晶涡旋光光子晶体光纤(SPQCF)。利用矢量有限元分析方法,模拟计算了光纤中各个涡旋光模式的传输特性,研究结果表明:3种涡旋光光子晶体光纤中的模式有效折射率差均大于10 ^-4,支持不同数量的涡旋光传输。其中TLPCF的色散系数最小,SPQCF的色散系数最大,两者在宽波段(1400~1700 nm)内均保持了色散平坦趋势;3种光纤的限制性损耗均小于1×10 ^-7 dB·m ^-1,能够将光很好地局限在纤芯内部;3种光纤的非线性系数均保持在10 ^-3量级;涡旋光模式稳定传输的距离大于1 km。

Higher-band self-trapping and oscillation (rotation) of nonlinear quadruple beams in two-dimensional (2D) square photonic lattices are numerically demonstrated. Under appropriate conditions of nonlinearity, a quadruple-like beam can self-trap into localized modes that reside in the second Bragg reflection gap through single-site excitation. By changing the initial orientation of the incident quadruple beam related to the lattices, periodic oscillations of the localized quadruple mode may be obtained. The localized quadruple state becomes a rotating doubly charged optical vortex (DCV) during rotation and should undergo charge-flipping when the rotating direction is reversed.

Sn/Yb codoped silica optical fiber preform is prepared by the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) followed by the solution-doping method. Ultraviolet (UV) optical absorption, photoluminescence (PL) spectra under 978-nm laser diode (LD) pumping, and refractive index change after exposure to 266-nm laser pulses are obtained. There is only a little change in the PL spectra while a positive refractive index change up to 2\times10^{-4} is observed after 30-min exposure to 266-nm laser pulses. The results show that both of the peculiar photosensitivity of Sn-doped silica and the gain property of Yb-doped silica fiber are preserved in the Sn/Yb codoped silica optical fiber preform. The experimental data suggest that the photosensitivity of the fiber preform under high energy density laser irradiation should be mainly due to the bond-breaking of oxygen deficient defects, while under relatively low energy density laser irradiation, the refractive index change probably originates from the photoconversion of optically active defects.

A broadband continuum generation is reported in a novel multicore microstructured optical fiber (MOF) where irregular air holes are randomly distributed in cladding. By launching ultrashort light pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser into a 190-mm-long fiber of this type, we have observed a group of continua generated from different cores, each with distinct color. 20-dB bandwidth of the broadest continuum is 1260 nm with an average power of 143 mW. The result confirms that the multicore MOF can be fabricated, with different dispersion profiles tailored for specific supercontinuum (SC) generation towards practical applications.

An all-fiber Yb^(3+)-doped double-clad fiber laser using FBGs as cavity mirrors is investigated in this paper. Continuous-wave (CW) output power of 1.18 W with defined wavelength at 1.06 μm and narrow line-width of less than 0.1 nm is obtained. The slope efficiency and the maximum optical-to-optical efficiency of laser output are 68% and 51%, respectively, with respect to absorbed pump power.
