All-optical pulse compression of broadband microwave signal based on stimulated Brillouin scattering

Broadband true time delay for microwave signal processing, using slow light based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers.

We experimentally demonstrate a novel technique to process broadband microwave signals, using all-optically tunable true time delay in optical fibers. The configuration to achieve true time delay basically consists of two main stages: photonic RF phase shifter and slow light, based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in fibers. Dispersion properties of fibers are controlled, separately at optica...

Numerical study of all-optical slow-light delays via stimulated Brillouin scattering in an optical fiber

We study numerically all-optical slow-light delays in room-temperature single-mode optical fibers induced by stimulated Brillouin scattering. We consider the propagation of a pulse through a cw-pumped Brillouin fiber amplifier, where the carrier frequency of the pulse is tuned near the Stokes resonance. Pulse delay and broadening of the Stokes pulse are studied in the small-signal and gain-satu...

Pulse Compression of Nd:YAG Laser with Stimulated Brillouin Scattering for Compton Backscattered X-Ray Source

Abstract. Compton backscattered x-ray source is developed in the energy region of a few hundred keV at Kansai Photon Science Institute of Japan Atomic Energy Agency (KPSI-JAEA). A remarkable feature of the Compton backscattered x-ray source is that the generated x-ray beam is a well-collimated and has a definite polarization property. The Compton backscattered x-ray source at KPSI-JAEA consists...

Numerical Treatment of short Laser Pulse Compression in transient stimulated Brillouin Scattering

Received: 10.04.2002 Accepted: 24.04.2002 Abstract Results of numerical investigation of the compression process of short pulses during essentially nonstationary SBS are presented, taking into account the diffraction and focusing of the interacting light beams and the finite oscillation period and lifetime of hypersound waves in nonlinear media.
