Abstract

Self- and Cross-phase modulation of asymmetric femtosecond pulses (~810 nm) propagating through a birefringent single-mode optical fiber (~6.9 cm) is studied both experimentally (using GRENOUILLE) and numerically (by solving a set of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations or CNLSEs). An optical spectrogram representation is derived from the electric field of the pulses and is linearly juxtaposed with the corresponding optical spectrum and optical time-trace. The simulations are shown to be in good qualitative agreement with the experiments. Measured input pulse asymmetry, when incorporated into the simulations, is found to be the dominant cause of output spectral asymmetry. The results indicate that it is possible to modulate short pulses both temporally and spectrally by passage through polarization maintaining optical fibers with specified orientation and length.

Block diagram of the experimental setup (not drawn to scale). The optical isolator prevents feedback into the mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser from the input end of the fiber. The mirrors M1, M2, M3, M4 are placed only when measuring the FROG traces of the pulses input to the fiber. The input half-wave plate, polarizer 1 and polarizer 2 are used such that three possible configurations are studied - θin =θout =±45°,0°, where θ is the angle between the polarization of the input(output) light and the slow axis of the optical fiber. The output half-wave plate is used to rotate the axis of polarization of the output light to match with the axis of the nonlinear crystal in the GRENOUILLE setup. The optical spectrum analyzer is present as a cross-check for the FROG recovered pulses.
