Article Abstract
Two novel phase-shifted Brillouin dynamic gratings (PS-BDGs) are proposed using single pump phase-modulation (SPPM) in a polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) for the first time to our knowledge. Firstly, based on the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), a transient PS-BDG with a 3-dB bandwidth of 354MHz is written by a 2-ns pump1 pulse and a 100-ps pump2 pulse, where the phase of pump1 pulse is shifted with π from its middle point through phase modulation. Then, with a high repetition rate of 250MHz for both pump pulses, an enhanced PS-BDG with a deep notch depth is obtained and its notch frequency can be easily tuned by changing the phase shift. We demonstrate a proof-of-concept experiment of the transient PS-BDG and show the notch frequency changing by tuning the phase shift. The proposed PS-BDGs have important potential applications in microwave photonics, all-optical signal processing and RoF (radio-over-fiber) networks.

Frequency-comb-based Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors were developed to achieve acquisition-time reduction and high-spatial-resolution/long-distance sensing simultaneously. We found that, for the standard frequency-comb-based BOTDA, the use of a double-sideband (DSB) pulse generates a series of pulse pairs that simultaneously propagate along the sensing fiber, leading to a nonlinear interaction between the two sidebands of each frequency comb pulse, and a significant splitting of the Brillouin gain spectrum (BGS). This problem prevents its application in high-spatial-resolution sensing due to the higher pulse power requirement.

We present a propagation model for the dynamics of distributed feedback Brillouin lasers. The model is applied to the recently demonstrated DFB Brillouin laser based on a π-phase shifted grating in a highly nonlinear silica fiber. Steady state results agree with the experimental values for threshold and efficiency.

We propose a technique for the generation of broadband optical single sideband modulated signals. The technique is based on optically processing an optical double sideband signal using stimulated Brillouin scattering effect. An unwanted sideband suppression over 40 dB in a broadband range from 50 MHz to 20 GHz is experimentally demonstrated.

We introduce a novel method for high wavelength-resolution measurement of polarization-averaged group delay, polarization dependent loss and polarization mode dispersion of optical components using swept optical single sideband modulated signals. Measurements of a phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating, a chirped fiber Bragg grating and of the Brillouin spectra of a length of fiber are used in order to demonstrate the technique.
