A compact and robust all-fiber laser system comprising fiber-optical components for a Rb atomic fountain clock is demonstrated. The laser sources were based on the frequency doubling of two seed lasers at a wavelength of 1560 nm, which were locked using digital frequency locking and modulation transfer spectroscopy. During the Sisyphus cooling period, the PZT control voltage of the fiber laser was ramped to detune the laser frequency to 170 MHz, and we get an atomic temperature of 1.9 □K. A series of customized optical fiber splitters, acousto-optic modulators (AOMs), and shutters were integrated into two 2U enclosures as cooling and repumping light modules. The entire laser system was integrated into a 22U cabinet and was characterized via polarization, power, and frequency stability measurements over 100 days. Apply the laser system to the Rb atomic fountain clock, which exhibited a frequency stability of less than 4.5 × 10-16 at the interval of 24 h.

One of the core challenges of space-division-multiplexed elastic optical networks (SDM-EONs), as a cutting-edge technology for future optical backbone networks, lies in efficiently dealing with the complexities of routing, modulation, spectrum and core allocation (RMSCA). In this framework, spectrum fragmentation and inter-core crosstalk become the key constraints on network performance. In this paper, we innovatively propose a crosstalk representation and design dynamic spectrum fragmentation optimization and accurate combinatorial shunt optimization algorithms. These algorithms effectively mitigate the spectrum fragmentation problem by intelligently integrating the abandoned spectrum fragments in the network. Simulation verification shows that the two algorithms proposed in this paper exhibit significant advantages in significantly reducing the bandwidth blocking probability.

We developed an advanced active phase control method for coherent beam combining using a lightweight residual neural network architecture (ResNet18), based on single local intensity patterns at non-focal plane. By estimating the phases only from a localized intensity image patch, the camera frame rate can be significantly improved, thereby ensuring more robust phase locking against larger-scale noise. Simulated experiments demonstrated that our technique achieves effective phase locking for coherent beam combination across scales of 19, 37, and 61 channels.

This paper focuses on the temperature reliability of phase modulators and their impact on the error of sensing systems by conducting a study on the temperature variation mechanism of key parameters and error suppression methods for phase modulators. Initially, a model correlating half-wave voltage with temperature was established and the source of polarization crosstalk was analyzed. Subsequently, tests were conducted on the half-wave voltage and polarization crosstalk of phase modulators at various temperatures to determine the relationship between temperature and these critical parameters. Then, a simulation analysis was performed to assess the impact of half-wave voltage variation and polarization crosstalk on the sensing system, revealing the pattern of system error changes. Finally, research on error suppression due to half-wave voltage changes and polarization crosstalk was carried out. A temperature variation error compensation method based on radial basis function neural networks (RBFNN) was proposed and experimentally verified. The sensor temperature, half-wave voltage, and polarization crosstalk were taken as neural network inputs, with system error as the output. The results indicate that the error in the sensing system during temperature cycling from −30 °C to + 70 °C is less than 0.04 %, which meets the 0.2 class requirements for current sensors as stipulated by national standards. This provides a reference for the application of phase modulators in fiber optic sensing and other network communication systems.

The integration of multiple optical fibers for directing starlight into telescope spectrographs is pivotal for spectral analysis in expansive multitarget spectroscopic surveys. Exceptional fiber positioning accuracy is needed for the attainment of high precision in stellar spectral acquisition. Current leading optical fiber positioning solutions often utilize back-illumination illuminating fibers and rely on photogrammetry systems to provide precise position feedback in a closed-loop configuration. While these photogrammetry-based methods are effective, they capture images lacking features essential for differentiating between the fiber positioner (FP) and individual light spots; this especially applies to the differentiation between the fiducial fiber positioner (FFP) and scientific fiber positioner (SFP) against a uniformly dark background. In this study, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network is used as a feature extractor to analyze the back-illuminated light spot images and FP operation data for the development a Siamese network model. By comparing the feature similarities between the back-illuminated light spot images and the operational target data within the Siamese network, a reliable mapping is established between each light spot and its corresponding FP. When applied to Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopy Telescope (LAMOST) observations, this methodology overcomes the pivotal challenges of mapping FFP light spots affected by focal plane rotation. This method further achieves complete mapping of SFP light spots in a heavily cluttered environment of scientific fibers. Our approach provides an important reference for fiber light spot mapping methodologies in prospective multitarget spectroscopic survey instruments.

Optical fiber sensors are widely used in long-term monitoring in complex environments due to their advantages of anti-electromagnetic interference, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. In view of the challenge of supporting structure stability brought by deep mining, the traditional electric measuring bolt system has the disadvantages of electromagnetic interference and complex installation, and more reliable monitoring technology is urgently needed. In this paper, a mine-used fiber Bragg grating anchor sensor technology is proposed. The Bragg grating chain is connected and embedded into the anchor rod, which solves the problems that the surface-mounted grating anchor rod cannot be reused and is easily affected by the environment, and has the ability to monitor the stress state of the anchor rod in real time and for a long time. Through the monitoring of the axial force of the end anchor and the full anchor bolt in the 12,511 working face of Bulianta Coal Mine, it is found that the average axial force of the end anchor body is 77.24 kN, and the full anchor is 67.90 kN. The axial force of the end anchor bolt is 1.14 times that of the full anchor bolt. For broken coal, the full anchor bolt shows higher reliability, which provides reference value for mine support design.

We present a novel fiber optics sensor approach using an intentionally designed silica fiber that requires no additional processing after fabrication. The fiber, drawn from a D-shaped preform, maintains a D-shape cross-section along its entire length, ensuring high uniformity of geometrical parameters such as core diameter and the flattened surface distance from the core. The primary advantage of our approach is its unique ability to sense analytes at arbitrary distances from the fiber end and at any interaction length using the evanescent wave effect. We demonstrate the sensing performance by exposing a short fiber section (4 cm) to a liquid analyte in its pure form without using any signal-enhancing interlayer. Importantly, the output signal remains unchanged when water is applied as the medium, while exposure to an alcoholic medium significantly increases transmission. We further analyze the refractive index sensitivity of the technique by varying the water-isopropyl alcohol mixture ratio at a 1030 nm wavelength in a few-mode propagation regime. The results, interpreted in terms of the elimination of Rayleigh scattering losses of the higher-order modes by index matching between the fiber and the sensing medium, underscore the potential of our approach for water contamination sensing in both biological and environmental applications with distributed sensing capability, thereby addressing a critical need in the field.
我们提出了一种新颖的光纤传感器方法,它使用了一种有意设计的二氧化硅光纤,制造后无需额外加工。这种光纤由 D 型预型件拉制而成,在整个长度上保持 D 型横截面,确保了纤芯直径和扁平表面与纤芯距离等几何参数的高度一致性。我们的方法的主要优势在于其独特的能力,能够利用蒸发波效应在距离光纤末端任意距离和任意相互作用长度上感应分析物。我们在不使用任何信号增强夹层的情况下,将一段较短的光纤(4 厘米)暴露在纯液态分析物中,展示了这种传感性能。重要的是,当以水作为介质时,输出信号保持不变,而暴露在酒精介质中则会显著增加传输。我们进一步分析了该技术的折射率敏感性,方法是在少数模式传播机制下,在 1030 纳米波长处改变水和异丙醇的混合比例。通过光纤和传感介质之间的折射率匹配消除了高阶模式的瑞利散射损耗,这些结果强调了我们的方法在具有分布式传感能力的生物和环境应用中进行水污染传感的潜力,从而满足了这一领域的关键需求。

A new iterative numerical model of continuous wave fiber lasers doped with rare-earth ions is proposed. The main advantage of this model is its stability to the choice of initial values of the generated power at the fiber boundaries. The algorithm for solving the system of rate equations is discussed in detail. Simulation results of double-clad fiber lasers obtained using the proposed model are compared with those reported in the literature. The output characteristics of single-mode fiber lasers were modeled and compared with experimentally obtained data.

The scene of fiber laser has progressed very rapidly with the demonstration of various materials as saturable absorbers in a near- and mid-infrared laser cavity. However, the researchers focused on erbium-, ytterbium-, and thulium-doped fiber as a gain medium. Here, we proposed a neodymium-doped fiber laser setup to generate a Q-switched laser in a 1-μm regime. The laser utilized bismuth telluride, a topological insulator as a Q-switcher for pulse generation. With a linear absorption of approximately 5 dB at 1089 nm, this SA can generate a stable Q-switched laser in a neodymium-doped fiber laser cavity. It generates a stable Q-switched laser at 1089 nm when the pump intensity is adjusted between 167 and 190 mW. The pulsed laser owns the shortest pulse width of 6.48 μs with a maximum repetition rate of 40 kHz. The stability of the laser is promising since it has a signal-to-noise ratio of 40 dB. In the authors’ knowledge, this is the first demonstration of bismuth telluride as a saturable absorber in an all-fiberized neodymium-doped fiber laser cavity.

Silica microresonators (microbubbles) are considered excellent candidates due to the realization of ultrahigh quality factors in whispering gallery mode resonators (WGMs), which can confine significant optical powers in small spaces. The challenge in the optimal design of microbubbles is to calculate their unique properties and enhance their capabilities as devices by understanding their physical mechanisms. Machine learning (ML) strategies have been employed for microbubble design. However, these approaches are often considered ‘black boxes’ due to the model’s lack of explanations for their predictions. This study introduces a feedforward neural network (FFNN) model that accurately forecasts the optical properties of microbubbles. Utilizing the SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) method, an analytical tool offering explanations, we delineate the precise impact of microbubble geometric parameters on the predictions of FFNN model and pinpoint the critical factors influencing their optical properties. By employing reverse engineering, we can deduce the geometric parameters of microbubbles from desired outcomes, thus providing an approach to the optimal design of these structures. This research not only equips us with a powerful instrument for a nuanced comprehension of microbubble structures and performance optimization but also paves new avenues for exploration in the realms of optics and photonics.

The challenge in the optimal design of microbubbles is to calculate their unique properties and enhance their capabilities as devices by understanding their physical mechanisms. Machine learning (ML) strategies have been employed for microbubble design. However, these approaches are often considered ‘black boxes’ due to the model’s lack of explanations for their predictions.
