Analytical And Numerical Study Of Propagation In Optical Waveguides And Devices In Linear And Nonlinear Domains

Raghuwanshi, Sanjeev Kumar 07 1900 (has links)
The objective of this thesis is to study of optical effects, arising in the form of non-uniform waveguide structure, complicated refractive index profiles or due to pulse propagation in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical communication systems. These effects are important and critically influence the performance of DWDM optical systems. A comprehensive survey of current literature on optical effects due to nonuniform optical structure and nonlinear optical effects is first done, showing their advantages and disadvantage in optical communication systems. A survey on methods of optical waveguide analysis is also done. The main contribution has been made to three main aspects of the problem : Accurate analysis of uniform/non-uniform optical waveguides with arbitary refractive index profiles Pulse propagation and distortion in DWDM Raman amplification systems. Use of non-uniform FBG to compensate for pulse distortion We study several existing analytical techniques developed so far for analyzing the mode of non-uniform optical waveguide structures. Later, we verify the analytical results by finite element method (FEM). The convergence study is also carried out. A new computational technique is proposed modifying the finite element method to analyze complex refractive index profiles required for the analysis, namely single mode step index profile, multi clad fiber, W -profile, chirp profile etc. An accuracy of 10−4 in the calculation of propagation constant/eigen-value is demonstrated. Dispersion characteristics of optical fibers w.r.t. different profile parameters is evaluated. A modification to scalar BPM is proposed and applied to study the effects of inhomogeneities along the propagation direction. The applicability and accuracy of the method is tested using integrated optic waveguide devices, namely, graded index slab waveguide. The proposed BPM uses Fourier decomposition of the transverse field. Coupled mode theory (CMT) of optical waveguides in non-homogeneous optical medium is applied to study the interaction of lightwaves propagation together such as in a DWDM system. The BPM results is verified by CMT. The inhomogeneous waveguide theory is extended to study pulse propagation in DWDM optical communication system. Nonlinear optical effects are an important aspects of DWDM systems with fiber Raman amplifier. Finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is necessary to study these nonlinear optical effects as other conventional methods are not suitable here. Here, we discuss DWDM optical communication systems due to nonlinearity in the form of SRS effect. In case of FRA, we study the various kinds of fiber profile design parameters, for the purpose to achieve and extend the flat gain bandwidth over the EDFA window. We also propose and study, a new bi-directional optical fiber transmission scheme with various constraints, using Raman amplification process with and without pump depletion. Our scheme, provides an advantage like high SNR, low pump induced noise, for long-haul communication link. We find that, there is a quite significant crosstalk and power coupling among the dense DWDM channels but earlier discussed BPM fails to account for possible interference effects among the channels. To reduce the harmful nonlinear optical effects like four wave mixing (FWM), we need to deploy a high chromatic dispersion fiber, which will ultimately lead to high pulse walk-off rate among the DWDM channels; hence for high bit rate long haul systems, walk-off effect can not be ignored. Application of FDTD provided an improved insight into the effect of GVD on stimulated Raman scattering crosstalk than different modulation techniques and line codes. It is shown through analysis that pulse walk-off phenomena may distort the data asymmetrically; especially for case of wide-band DWDM transmission system. Hence, the pulse walk-off effect should be considered in future systems containing optical amplifier. It is shown, that large walk-off rate may reduce the crosstalk among DWDM channels but tends to increase the asymmetric pulse distortion. Data may lose due to high walk-off effect. We also investigate channel addition/removal process in DWDM fiber Raman amplifier. We also demonstrate that the pulse walk-off effect tends to lead significantly to positive chirp for higher frequency channels. This feature can be exploited to overcome the chromatic dispersion effects in DWDM transmission systems. Pulse walk-off induced chirp, can be compensated by using the nonuniform fiber Bragg grating (NUFBG). The CMT due to periodic perturbation of the circular cylindrical waveguide structures is applied here. Here, we discuss the function of fiber Bragg grating as a transmission versus reflecting grating filter. We also discuss, FBG application to gain flattening of an EDFA window as well as how the group velocity dispersion (GVD) will be affected with bandwidth and coupling coefficient. We develop a new analytical technique to estimate the bandwidth of FBG based optical system. Finally, we investigate the dispersion compensation properties, pulse distortion, peak reflectivity analysis in uniform/non-uniform FBG due to an uniform/non-uniform incoming signal. More complicated refractive index profile can significantly reduce the GVD as well as side lobes intensity. Dispersion characteristic due to an arbitrary refractive index profile is discussed in details for the case of non-uniform FBG. Thus, we concluded that wide band DWDM optical communication system need to closely take into account various inhomogeneities and nonlinearities of optical fibers w.r.t. wave and pulse propagation.

No. of bitstreams: 1 2012_Lucia Akemi Miyazato Saito.pdf: 7872621 bytes, checksum: 4898bb89f5642047c4e878b18fc4f31a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-11-01 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / We investigated the mechanisms responsible for pulse formation and evolution in Erbium-doped fiber lasers with cavity lengths varying from 16.4 m to 100.8 km that were actively mode-locked at repetition rate of 1 GHz. The variation of pulse widths and the peak powers in these lasers defined three regimes of propagation inside the cavities and we identified the mechanisms responsible for the pulse formation and evolution in each one of these regimes depending on the ratio between the cavity length (Lcav) and the dispersion length (LD) and nonlinear length (LNL). When Lcav is shorter than LD and LNL, there is neither dispersive nor nonlinear effect during pulse evolution (pulse has a duration of approximately 30 ps). In this regime, its final duration is determined by the standard theory of active modelocking. For Lcav shorter than LD but ~ LNL, the pulse evolution is in the nonlinearity-dominant regime where the self-phase modulation leads to spectral broadening. In addition, for cavities longer than 12.6 km, Lcav ~ LD and also longer then LNL. The pulse evolution is in the dispersion-dominant regime with its duration depending on the accumulated dispersion. In this regime the soliton effect takes place and the final pulse duration depends on the cavity length. Also, we present a comparison between an in-field and in-laboratory 50 km ultralong Erbium fiber lasers actively mode-locked with repetition rate varying from 1 to 10 GHz generating pulses from 35.2 to 68.7 ps. The pulse widths generated at higher frequencies are in agreement with Kuizenga-Siegman theory. However, for lower frequencies the pulses have higher intracavity peak power which allows the soliton effect to take place. Depending on the pump power level, the repetition rate and the cavity length, both lasers can operate in active mode-locking or under the influence of the soliton regime that locks the pulse duration according to the dispersion and cavity length. Due to the soliton robustness, this condition eliminates most of the environmental influence in the in-field mode-locking regime and makes both lasers very similar. / O laser de fibra dopada com Érbio é apresentado nesta tese numa nova configuração: cavidade ultralonga, com dimensão da ordem de dezenas de quilômetros. Foram investigados os mecanismos responsáveis pela formação e evolução do pulso em cavidades com comprimentos de 16,4 m a 100,8 km operando em regime de acoplamento de modos ativo na taxa de repetição de 1 GHz. A variação da largura dos pulsos e da potência de pico nestes lasers definem três regimes de propagação no interior das cavidades sendo possível identificar os mecanismos responsáveis pela formação e evolução em cada um destes regimes, dependendo da relação entre o comprimento da cavidade (Lcav) e o comprimento de dispersão (LD) e também em relação ao comprimento não-linear (LNL). Quando Lcav é menor que LD e LNL, não há efeito dispersivo e não-linearidades apreciáveis na evolução do pulso, obtendo-se aproximadamente 30 ps. Neste regime, a duração final é determinada pela teoria de acoplamento de modos ativo. Para Lcav menor que LD mas ~LNL, a evolução do pulso é dominado pela não-linearidade onde a automodulação de fase resulta em alargamento espectral. Além disso, para cavidades mais longas que 12,6 km, Lcav ~ LD e Lcav mais longo que LNL, a duração do pulso na saída aumenta proporcionalmente com a dispersão acumulada e ocorre a propagação de pulsos sob efeito solitônico. Complementando o estudo, o laser na configuração em laboratório é comparado com o laser montado em campo, sendo utilizado em ambos 50 km de fibra padrão. O laser à fibra dopada com Érbio é modulado ativamente com taxa de repetição variando entre 1 e 10 GHz gerando pulsos de 35,2 a 68,7 ps. A duração dos pulsos gerados em frequências altas está de acordo com a teoria de Kuizenga-Siegman. No entanto, em baixas frequências os pulsos têm potência de pico intracavidade alta o que permite que haja a formação de pulsos solitônicos na propagação. Dependendo do nível da potência de bombeamento, da taxa de repetição e do comprimento da cavidade, os dois lasers podem operar em acoplamento de modos ativo ou sob a influência do regime solitônico que trava a duração do pulso de acordo com a dispersão e comprimento da cavidade. Devido à robustez do sóliton, esta condição elimina a maior parte da influência do ambiente no acoplamento de modos do laser na configuração em campo, tornando os dois lasers muito similares.

Sanchis Kilders, Pablo 06 May 2008 (has links)
El objetivo de esta tesis es la investigación de estructuras y técnicas de acoplo para minimizar las pérdidas de acoplo entre guías dieléctricas y cristales fotónicos planares. En primer lugar se ha estudiado el modelado del acoplo entre guías dieléctricas y guías en cristal fotónico así como la influencia de los principales parámetros del cristal en la eficiencia de acoplo. Se han obtenido expresiones cerradas para las matrices de reflexión y transmisión que caracterizan totalmente el scattering que ocurre en el interfaz formado entre una guía dieléctrica y una guía en cristal fotónico. A continuación y con el fin de mejorar la eficiencia de acoplo desde guías dieléctrica de anchura arbitraria, se ha propuesto como contribución original una técnica de acoplo basada en la introducción de defectos puntuales en el interior de una estructura de acoplo tipo cuña realizada en el cristal fotónico. Diferentes soluciones, incluida los algoritmos genéticos, han sido propuestas con el objetivo de conseguir el diseño óptimo de la configuración de defectos. Una vez conseguido un acoplo eficiente desde guías dieléctricas a guías en cristal fotónico, se ha investigado el acoplo en guías de cavidades acopladas. Como contribución original se ha propuesto una técnica de acoplo basada en la variación gradual del radio de los defectos situados entre cavidades adyacentes. Además, se ha realizado un riguroso análisis en el dominio del tiempo y la frecuencia de la propagación de pulsos en guías acopladas de longitud finita. Dicho estudio ha tenido como objetivo la caracterización de la influencia de la eficiencia del acoplo en los parámetros del pulso. Finalmente, se han presentado los procesos de fabricación y resultados experimentales de las estructuras de acoplo propuestas. / Sanchis Kilders, P. (2005).

Gesteinsmechanische Versuche und petrophysikalische Untersuchungen – Laborergebnisse und numerische Simulationen

Baumgarten, Lars 26 May 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Dreiaxiale Druckprüfungen können als Einstufenversuche, als Mehrstufenversuche oder als Versuche mit kontinuierlichen Bruchzuständen ausgeführt werden. Bei der Anwendung der Mehrstufentechnik ergeben sich insbesondere Fragestellungen hinsichtlich der richtigen Wahl des Umschaltpunktes und des optimalen Verlaufs des Spannungspfades zwischen den einzelnen Versuchsstufen. Fraglich beim Versuch mit kontinuierlichen Bruchzuständen bleibt, ob im Versuchsverlauf tatsächlich Spannungszustände erfasst werden, welche die Höchstfestigkeit des untersuchten Materials repräsentieren. Die Dissertation greift diese Fragestellungen auf, ermöglicht den Einstieg in die beschriebene Thematik und schafft die Voraussetzungen, die zur Lösung der aufgeführten Problemstellungen notwendig sind. Auf der Grundlage einer umfangreichen Datenbasis gesteinsmechanischer und petrophysikalischer Kennwerte wurde ein numerisches Modell entwickelt, welches das Spannungs-Verformungs-, Festigkeits- und Bruchverhalten eines Sandsteins im direkten Zug- und im einaxialen Druckversuch sowie in dreiaxialen Druckprüfungen zufriedenstellend wiedergibt. Das Festigkeitsverhalten des entwickelten Modells wurde in Mehrstufentests mit unterschiedlichen Spannungspfaden analysiert und mit den entsprechenden Laborbefunden verglichen.
