Minimum length of a single-mode fiber spatial filter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the concept of leaky modes, we derive the minimum length of a single-mode fiber required to act as a spatial-mode filter of given quality. The degree of filter action is defined by the ratio of power carried by the fundamental mode to that carried by the leaky modes.

Comprehensive Theoretical Study on Threshold Power of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Single-Mode Fibers
We have investigated and developed a theoretical approach to explore stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) phenomena in single mode fiber. SBS happening threshold power condition has been studied in terms of fiber parameters and input pump power. To assess threshold power precisely, the pump depletion effect and fiber loss has been included by employing 1% criterion. The threshold exponential g...
متن کاملSingle-mode Fiber Length for Wavefront Filtering
Stellar nulling interferometry offers the possibility of direct imaging of extrasolar planets necessary for the detection of extra-terrestrial life. Achieving optimum performance from the interferometers requires that the wavefronts of light reaching the interferometer are free of distortions. This is achieved by using single-mode fibers, which are excellent wavefront filters. In this paper, we...
متن کاملDesign of spatial and modal filters for nulling interferometers
Spatial or modal filters are essential parts of highly rejecting nulling interferometers. We review the principle of operation of both types of filters and explain the fundamental physical difference. We point out the filter’s individual properties and potentials, and analyze practical limitations. For modal filters we discuss implementation alternatives, also with regard to their suitability f...
متن کاملTunable multimode-interference bandpass fiber filter.
We report on a wavelength-tunable filter based on multimode interference (MMI) effects. A typical MMI filter consists of a multimode fiber (MMF) spliced between two single-mode fibers (SMF). The peak wavelength response of the filter exhibits a linear dependence when the length of the MMF is modified. Therefore a capillary tube filled with refractive-index-matching liquid is used to effectively...
متن کاملImpact of fiber core diameter on dispersion and multiplexing in multimode-fiber links.
Large-core silica multimode fibers, whose core diameters are generally 50 μm or 62.5 μm, form the bulk of short and medium haul optical fiber links in existence today, owing to their low cost and ease of deployment. However, modal dispersion significantly limits the maximum data rates that they support. Recently, the ability to multiplex several streams of data through optical fibers has spawne...
