Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in fibers for high-power lasers can induce significant frequency modulation to amplitude modulation (FM-to-AM) conversion. However, existing techniques are not sufficiently flexible to achieve efficient compensation for such FM-to-AM conversion. By analyzing the nonuniform transmission spectrum caused by PMD, we found that the large-scale envelope of the transmission spectrum has more serious impacts on the amount of AM. In order to suppress the PMD-induced FM-to-AM conversion, we propose a novel tunable spectral filter with multiple degrees of freedom based on a half-wave plate, a nematic liquid crystal, and an axis-rotated polarization-maintaining fiber. Peak wavelength, free spectral range (FSR), and modulation depth of the filter are decoupled and can be controlled independently, which is verified through both simulations and experiments. The filter is utilized to compensate for the PMD-induced FM-to-AM conversion in the front end of a high-power laser facility. The results indicate that, for a pulse with phase-modulation frequency of 22.82 GHz, the FM-to-AM conversion could be reduced from 18% to 3.2% within a short time and maintained below 6.5% for 3 h. The proposed filter is also promising for other applications that require flexible spectral control such as high-speed channel selection in optical communication networks.

基于宽带啁啾脉冲的小尺度自聚焦形成过程,利用包含时空项的非线性薛定谔方程进行数值计算,比较分析了不同空间位置(特别是空间调制峰位置及调制谷位置)的时间演变过程,发现不同空间位置的时间演化过程完全不一样。在小尺度自聚焦过程中,调制峰处的脉宽随传输距离的增加而减小,当调制峰值处的强度达到最大时,其脉宽达到最小值;而在调制谷位置处的脉宽则一直处于展宽状态。分析了脉冲啁啾对不同空间位置时间演变的影响规律,负啁啾加速了调制峰位置处的脉冲压缩,却抑制了调制谷位置的脉冲展宽;而正啁啾则起相反的作用。
