We propose a denoising algorithm based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and finite impulse response (FIR) to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of Brillouin optical time domain analysis. Denoising results indicate EMD-FIR can effectively reduce noise, and the maximum SNR improvement is 11.69 dB, which is 4.98 dB and 4.26 dB larger than the maximum SNR improvement of wavelet and Butterworth. The temperature uncertainty along the heated section is reduced to 0.62°C by EMD-FIR. The improvement of SNR opens opportunities to apply high measurement accuracy to Brillouin optical time domain analysis and other distributed sensing fields.

Broadband minimalist wireless base stations without energy-consuming electrical power amplifiers are the rosy scenario of the next-generation wireless communication systems. High-power radio-over-fiber (RoF) links, which are featured by large operation bandwidths, are regarded as the supporting technology for realizing such a vision. Nevertheless, the severe signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) deterioration induced by the second Brillouin scattering in high-power and long-distance RoF links must be first solved.

We detail here the general principle of a self-adaptive oscillator in which the intertwined operation of a 100-m-long active optical resonator and a standard semiconductor laser mutually coupled by stimulated Brillouin scattering offers an ultimate high spectral purity. Single frequency operation of this self-adaptive photonic oscillator is achieved without any servo locking or stabilization electronics. In free running operation, this principle leads to a Lorentzian linewidth of 40 mHz and a Flicker noise linewidth of 200 Hz for 0.

We report a hybrid Brillouin optical frequency/correlation-domain analysis technique, capable of accurate and high spatial resolution Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) profile measurements in optical fibers. The method relies on a conventional Brillouin optical frequency domain analysis (BOFDA) configuration, with an additional sinusoidal frequency modulation (FM) applied to the pump and probe beams. Such frequency modulation synthetizes a sequence of narrow correlation peaks along the fiber, which are simultaneously interrogated through BOFDA.

Subwavelength light trapping in periodic structures with high quality (Q) factors is discovered to hold strong light-matter interactions for a variety of applications. Although dual-band or even multiple-band high-Q resonances are applicable to extend the operation range of a nanophotonic device, manipulating the high-Q modes individually is a necessity to implement plural intriguing applications in one system as well as optimize the capabilities across each spectrum. In this work, a novel approach is presented to independently control dual high-Q modes with distinct origins in an all-dielectric metasurface system.

Narrow Linewidth All-Optical Microwave Oscillator Based on Torsional Radial Acoustic Modes of Single-Mode Fiber.

Micromachines (Basel)

Key Laboratory of Instrumentation Science and Dynamic Measurement Ministry of Education, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China.

A Hz level narrow linewidth all-optical microwave oscillator based on the torsional radial acoustic modes (TR) of a single-mode fiber (SMF) is proposed and validated. The all-optical microwave oscillator consists of a 20 km SMF main ring cavity and a 5 km SMF sub ring cavity. The main ring cavity provides forward stimulated Brillouin scattering gain and utilizes a nonlinear polarization rotation effect to achieve TR mode locking.
