Low-Loss Connection of Hybrid Fibre Optic Systems with Low Sensitivity to Wavelength

Abstract

This paper proposes a method for adjusting light waves propagating in systems composed of photonic fibers, light sources and detection elements. The paper presents the properties of these connections in terms of the loss of signal transmission. Different fiber core areas were analyzed, and measurements of the mode-field diameters (MFDs) of selected fiber structures are presented. The study analyzed two types of LMA (Large Mode Area) fiber structures, and the mode-field diameters of these structures were measured on the basis of the radiation distribution obtained under near-field conditions. The results are compared to the values obtained for a SMF-28 single-mode fiber. The LMA structures analyzed in the paper are characterized by low sensitivity of the MFD parameter to the length of transmitted waves, which creates the possibility of their use as intermediate fibers when connecting optical fibers of different diameters. In the wavelength range from 800 nm to 1600 nm, a 3.5% MFD change was observed for the first investigated LMA structure, and a 1% change was observed for the second. In addition, measurements of the mode-field diameters were also made using the transverse offset method for comparison of the results.

Latest achievements in generalized Lorenz‐Mie theories: A commented reference database

“… carried out light scattering measurements with calibrations to investigate a high‐speed emulsifying flow in a mini channel. Klimek and Skorupski dealt with measurements of properties of fibers with cores. Fibers were also considered by Swirniak and Glomb who dealt with a method of low‐coherent light scattering with small angle light detection for glass fibre characterization, in which diffraction was essentially the only scattering process involved.…”

Simple opto-immittance converters

“…Using immittance enables to significantly improve the energy efficiency and noise immunity of the logic element. Immittance logic elements use the resistive, inductive or capacitive immittance and their combinations as the information parameter [10][11][12][13] .…”

Multifrequency optoimmittance logical R-element NOT

“…A new direction in the construction of radio-frequency logic elements is the use of the principle of fuzzy immitance, when the logic level is determined not by the quantitative value of immitance, but by its nature, such as "0" -capacitive, "1" -inductive. Such immitance logic elements can be implemented both with active 6,7 and only on passive [8][9][10][11] electronic elements. In the latter case, the noise immunity and energy efficiency of the logic element are greatly increased, as there are only energy losses at the signal frequency.…”
