US-Mexico Collaboration: Raman Amplification and Logic Gate in Optical Fibers

这个美国-墨西哥奖项将支持代顿大学(UD)的Joseph Haus教授与墨西哥普埃布拉国家天体光学电子研究所(INAOE)的Evgeni Kuzin博士进行研究合作。研究人员打算致力于实验和理论方法，以开发光纤设备和表征技术。该项目还将探索光通信行业和医学成像技术的潜在应用。UD的研究人员旨在对双折射光纤中的拉曼放大器进行理论研究，而INAOE的研究人员将使用先前联合研究开发的锁模光纤激光器来构建拉曼逻辑门。理论研究将阐明该逻辑门的特性及其与孤子的潜在用途。该模型将支持对由标准、零色散和非零色散位移光纤组成的光纤段进行拉曼放大测量，以确定泵浦脉冲和信号脉冲之间的最佳相互作用长度。国际科学与工程办公室和国家科学基金会电气和通信系统司将为这一合作提供资金。

0226945HausThis U.S.-Mexico award will support Prof. Joseph Haus of the University of Dayton (UD) in a research collaboration with Dr. Evgeni Kuzin of the Instituto Nacional de Astrofisica Optica y Electronica (INAOE) in Puebla, Mexico. The researchers intend to work on experimental and theoretical approaches to develop fiber devices and characterization techniques. The project will also explore potential applications for the optical communications industry and medical imaging technology. The researchers at UD aim to carry out a theoretical investigation of Raman amplifiers in birefringent optical fibers while the researchers at INAOE will construct a Raman logic gate using the modelocked fiber laser developed through previous joint research. The theoretical investigation will elucidate characteristics of the logic gate and its potential use with solitons. The modeling will support measurements of Raman amplification for a fiber span consisting of standard, zero dispersion and non-zero dispersion shifted fiber to determine the optimal interaction length between pump pulses and signal pulses. The Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Electrical and Communication Systems of NSF will contribute funds for this collaboration.
