Four-bit all-optical quantization based on Raman self-fre-quency shift and spectral compression

摘要

An all-optical quantization based on Raman self-frequency shift(RSFS) in a photonic crystal fiber(PCF) and spectral compression in a dispersion-increasing fiber(DIF) is analyzed,and the evolution of femtosecond pulse in fibers is described by numerically solving the generalized nonlinear Schrdinge equation(GNLSE).Gaussian pulse with the width of 300 fs and center wavelength of 1550 nm is injected into 15 m-long PCF and 100 m-long DIF.The simulation results show that the center wavelength increases linearly with the input peak power which changes from 110 W to 165 W.The RSFS of 65.3 nm and maximal spectral compression ratio of 3.38 can be obtained.The resolution of the quantization is improved from 2.4 bits to 4 bits by using the spectral compression in the DIF.
