    摘要: An analog signal receiver includes photonic sampling and electronic quantization. The receiver includes timing control circuitry configured to receive a series of optical pulses and output a plurality of timing signals based on the series of optical pulses to synchronize optical switches that receive a sampled optical signal to time deinterleave the optically sampled signal. The time deinterleaved signals are then sent to a plurality of demodulators wherein each demodulator receives at least one time deinterleaved optically sampled signal and at least one time deinterleaved optical reference signal to produce electrical signals based on the demodulated optical signals.

    摘要: Optical transmission systems of the present invention include at least one optical amplifier configured to provide optical amplification of one or more information carrying optical signal wavelengths. At least one optical amplifier is controlled based on an in situ performance characterization of the at least one optical amplifier and the transmission fiber. The in situ, or installed, performance characteristics of the optical amplifier can be characterized based on relative gain measurements over the signal wavelength range as a function of the supplied pump power. The installed characterization allows the optical amplifier performance and gain profiles to be tightly controlled over the signal wavelength range in the transmission system.

    摘要: An optical fiber used as the active amplifying medium in a fiber laser is arranged to have a high insertion loss at an undesired frequency, while retaining a low insertion loss at a desired lasing frequency. In one embodiment, loss at a Raman-shifted frequency is introduced by using an optical fiber which has multiple claddings with an index profile that includes an elevated index region located away from the core, but within the evanescent coupling region of the core. A distributed loss, which can be enhanced by bending, is produced at the Raman frequency which effectively raises the threshold at which Raman scattering occurs in the fiber and therefore results in a frequency-selective fiber. In another embodiment, an absorbing layer is placed around the core region. The absorbing layer is chosen to have a sharp absorption edge so that it absorbs highly at the Raman-shifted wavelength, but minimally at the desired lasing wavelength. In still another embodiment, the optical fiber is constructed with a core with long period gratings formed therein. The gratings are fabricated with a periodicity selected to provide a relatively high insertion loss at the Raman frequency while simultaneously providing a relatively low insertion loss at the lasing frequency. In accordance with yet another embodiment, a bend loss technique is used to suppress amplified spontaneous emission at an unwanted wavelength due to a competing atomic energy level system in a fiber laser.

    摘要: A high power laser optical amplifier system for material processing comprises multiple stage fiber amplifiers with rejection of propagating ASE buildup in and between the amplifier stages as well as elimination of SBS noise providing output powers in the range of about 10 &mgr;J to about 100 &mgr;J or more. The system is driven with a time varying drive signal from a modulated semiconductor laser signal source to produce an optical output allowing modification of the material while controlling its thermal sensitivity by varying pulse shapes or pulse widths supplied at a desire repetition rate via modulation of a semiconductor laser signal source to the system to precisely control the applied power application of the beam relative to the thermal sensitivity of the material to be processed. The high power fiber amplifier system has particular utility in high power applications requiring process treatment of surfaces, such as polymeric, organic, ceramic and metal surfaces, e.g., material processing, surface texturing, heat treatment, surface engraving, fine micro-machining, surface ablation, cutting, grooving, bump forming, coating, soldering, sealing, surface diffusion and surface conversion to a compound. A particular example is given for texturing of disk surfaces of magnetic disk media prior to the deposition or coating of a thin magnetic film on the textured surfaces to prevent slider stiction.
