Description

Full optical wavelength converting device based on lithium niobate fiber waveguide ring antrum
Technical field
The present invention relates to nonlinear optics frequency mixing technique field and full light signal processing technology field, be specifically related to a kind of full optical wavelength converting device based on lithium niobate fiber waveguide ring antrum.
Background technology
All Optical Wave Converter can copy to the entrained information of optical wavelength on another optical wavelength fully, is indispensable Primary Component in following dense wave division multipurpose (DWDM) optical-fiber network.The wavelength Conversion technology helps to realize that wavelength utilizes again, effectively carries out dynamic routing and selects, and reduces the network congestion blocking rate, and then can improve the dirigibility and the expandability of optical-fiber network.All Optical Wavelength Conversion technology commonly used at present mainly comprises: cross-gain modulation (XGM), cross-phase modulation (XPM), nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM), laser gain saturation effect, four-wave mixing (FWM), second order nonlinear effect or the like.In these schemes, wavelength Conversion technology based on period polarized counter-rotating lithium niobate (PPLN) passive optical waveguide second order nonlinear effect has unique advantages, its maximum characteristics are that response speed strictness fast and wavelength-conversion process is transparent, show as with the bit rate of signal and modulation format irrelevantly, thereby be subjected to various countries scientific worker's great attention in recent years.
At present aspect the wavelength Conversion of PPLN optical waveguide second order nonlinear effect, carrying out many very significant work both at home and abroad, mainly comprise based on direct difference frequency (DFG), based on cascade frequency multiplication and difference frequency (SHG+DFG), based on cascade and the wavelength Conversion technology of frequency with difference frequency second orders such as (SFG+DFG) and cascaded second-order nonlinear interaction.Therefore DFG type wavelength Conversion is difficult to realize simultaneously pump light and the flashlight single mode transport in optical waveguide because pump light (0.77 μ m) and flashlight (1.5 μ m) are in different-waveband.SHG+DFG type wavelength Conversion has solved the difficulty that DFG type wavelength shifter runs into, and injects pump light and flashlight and is in 1.5 mu m wavebands together, can realize the All Optical Wavelength Conversion of 1.5 mu m wavebands.However, since the pump light wavelength response bandwidth that in the SHG+DFG process, is positioned at the accurate phase matching of frequency multiplication (SHG) process (QPM) wavelength place very narrow (~0.3nm), therefore, flashlight for fixing input, traditional SHG+DFG type wavelength shifter is difficult to realize changing the tunable output of idle light, and tunable wavelength Conversion is very important for the dirigibility that strengthens network management.SFG+DFG type wavelength Conversion can solve the problem that DFG type and traditional SHG+DFG type wavelength shifter are run into simultaneously, all incident lights all are in 1.5 mu m wavebands on the one hand, even also can realize tunable wavelength Conversion easily for the flashlight of fixed wave length input on the other hand.For example: people such as Y.H.Min in 2003 article " Tunable all-opticalwavelength conversion of 5 ps pulses by cascaded sum-and differencefrequency generation (cSFG/DFG) in a Ti:PPLN waveguide; " in Proc.OpticalFiber Communications Conf., vol.2, Mar., 23-282003, among the pp.767-768, it is that 10GHz, pulsewidth are the tunable wavelength conversion of the pulse light of 5ps that experiment has first been reported based on the SFG+DFG repetition frequency.Yet, in SHG+DFG that has reported and SFG+DFG type wavelength Conversion scheme, need to use expensive outside cavity gas laser as extraneous pump light source, particularly need use two extraneous pump light sources simultaneously, the cost that this has just increased the complicacy of wavelength shifter greatly and has improved system based on the wavelength Conversion of SFG+DFG.Although people such as C.Q.Xu are at article " Intracavity wavelength conversions employing a MgO-doped LiNbO 3Quasi-phase-matched waveguide and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier; " J.Opt.Soc.Amer.B, vol.20, No.10, pp.2142-2149, among the Oct.2003, proposed based on the conversion of the intracavity wavelength of SHG+DFG saving an extraneous pump light source, but since pump light be positioned at the accurate phase matching wavelengths place of SHG process thereby can't realize tunable intracavity wavelength conversion.In addition, up to the present the intracavity wavelength conversion based on SFG+DFG does not also have relevant research report because need save two extraneous pump light sources simultaneously.In addition, existing wavelength Conversion mostly also rests on single channel-single-channel wavelength Conversion, and the concern of the tunable wavelength conversion of the conversion of single channel-two-channel tunable wavelength, single channel-multichannel (" broadcast type ") and multichannel being changed etc. simultaneously the aspect is also fewer.Given this, how traditional SHG+DFG type wavelength Conversion scheme is improved the research using value that will have reality with the multi-functional wavelength shifter based on the PPLN ring cavity structure (single channel-single channel, single channel-double-channel, single channel-multiple channel tuned wavelength Conversion and multichannel are changed simultaneously) of realizing tunable function, how to design need not to inject extraneous pump light.
