研究目的
To demonstrate the feasibility of coupling a laser beam and its frequency-doubled version into a multimode optical fiber through the four-wave mixing nonlinear process to generate a new wavelength.
研究成果
The study concludes that it is feasible to observe the FWM parametric process using a laser beam and its frequency-doubled daughter in a multimode optical fiber, provided the fiber's core-cladding refractive index contrast meets a certain lower-bound. This opens up possibilities for generating new wavelengths with a single laser and its frequency-doubled version, and provides a framework for interpreting nonlinear fiber experiments.
研究不足
The analysis assumes weakly guiding optical fibers and ignores the waveguiding contribution to the chromatic dispersion in the phase-matching process. Extending the analysis to strongly guided fibers would require a fully numerical study.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study focuses on the degenerate FWM scheme with intermodal phase-matching, where both pump photons are at the same wavelength and propagate in the same fiber mode.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The analysis is theoretical, based on the properties of conventional multimode optical fibers and the nonlinear process of FWM.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study mentions the use of a laser beam, its frequency-doubled daughter generated in an external crystal with a large second order nonlinearity, and a multimode optical fiber.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The theoretical analysis involves calculating the phase-matching conditions and the lower-bound for the core-cladding refractive index contrast necessary for the FWM process.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study uses mathematical modeling and the Sellmeier equation for fused silica to evaluate the conditions for intermodal phase matching.
