32 results about "Kerr effect" patented technology

The Kerr effect, also called the quadratic electro-optic (QEO) effect, is a change in the refractive index of a material in response to an applied electric field. The Kerr effect is distinct from the Pockels effect in that the induced index change is directly proportional to the square of the electric field instead of varying linearly with it. All materials show a Kerr effect, but certain liquids display it more strongly than others. The Kerr effect was discovered in 1875 by John Kerr, a Scottish physicist.

Bending modulation all-fiber saturable absorber and design and preparation method thereof

The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber mode-locked lasers, and particularly discloses a bending modulation all-optical fiber saturable absorber and a design and preparation method thereof. According to the method, controllable macroscopic bending modulation is introduced into a common single-mode optical fiber, so that linear loss caused by bending is coupled with a nonlinear Kerr effect in the optical fiber. When the incident light power is high, refractive index modulation caused by the Kerr effect enhances the light guide capability of the central area of the optical fiber, so that the original bending loss is partially compensated, and high-intensity light low-loss transmission is realized; and the low-intensity area at the edge of the light field is insufficient in refractive index modulation to compensate for bending loss, so that light energy leakage is enhanced, and low-intensity light high-loss suppression is formed. The light intensity dependent bending loss modulation mechanism constructs the saturable absorption characteristic of an all-fiber, and the saturable absorption behavior can be obtained by using the structure of the fiber. According to the design, the device structure in the mode-locked laser is simplified, the manufacturing cost is reduced, and the compatibility with a polarization maintaining optical fiber system is improved.
