Understanding Ball LensesBall lenses are great optical components for improving signal coupling between fibers, emitters and detectors. They are also used in endoscopy, bar code scanning, ball pre-forms for aspheric lenses and sensor applications. Ball lenses are manufactured from a single substrate of glass and can focus or collimate light, depending upon the geometry of the input source. Half-ball lenses are also common and can be interchanged with (full) ball lenses if the physical constraints of an application require a more compact design.Essential Equations for Using Ball Lenses

Figure 1: Key ParametersThere are five key parameters needed to understand and use ball lenses (Figure 1): Diameter of Input Source (d), Diameter of Ball Lens (D), Effective Focal Length of Ball Lens (EFL), Back Focal Length of Ball Lens (BFL) and Index of Refraction of Ball Lens (n).EFL is very simple to calculate (Equation 1) since there are only two variables involved: Diameter of Ball Lens (D) and Index of Refraction (n). EFL is measured from the center of the ball lens, indicated by R in Figure 1. BFL (Equation 2) is easily calculated once EFL and D are known. Numerical Aperture NA (Equation 3) is dependent on EFL and d. It is a commonly referenced term and often used in lieu of d/D.

Since NA is often used, Figure 2 illustrates how it increases as the Diameter of the Input Source (d) also increases.

Figure 2: Numerical Aperture vs. Diameter for Ball Lens Glass Types offered by Edmund Optics.Application Examples

Figure 3: Laser to Fiber CouplingExample 1: Laser to Fiber CouplingWhen coupling light from a laser into a fiber optic, the choice of ball lens is dependent on the NA of the fiber and the diameter of the laser beam, or the input source. The diameter of the laser beam is used to determine the NA of the ball lens. The NA of the ball lens must be less than or equal to the NA of the fiber optic in order to couple all of the light. The ball lens in contact with the fiber as shown in Figure 3.Initial ParametersDiameter of Input Laser Beam = 2mmIndex of Refraction of Ball Lens = 1.517Numerical Aperture of Fiber Optic = 0.22Calculated ParameterDiameter of Ball Lens

(4)A N-BK7 ball lens (index of refraction of 1.517) of 6-8mm in diameter would be ideal for coupling a 2mm laser source into a 0.22NA fiber optic. One can easily try different indices of refraction in order to find the best ball lens for a laser to fiber coupling application.

Figure 4: Fiber to Fiber Coupling

Example 2: Fiber to Fiber CouplingTo couple light from one fiber optic to another fiber optic of similar NA, two identical ball lenses are used. Place the two ball lenses in contact with the fibers as shown in Figure 4. If the fiber optics have the same NA, then the same logic as in Example 1 can be applied.Related Products

AmplifiersDefinition: devices for amplifying the power of light beamsGerman: VerstrkerAn optical amplifier is a device which receives some input signal and generates an output signal with higher optical power. Typically, inputs and outputs are laser beams, either propagating as Gaussian beams in free space or in a fiber. The amplification occurs in a so-called gain medium, which has to be pumped (i.e., provided with energy) from an external source. Most optical amplifiers are either optically or electrically pumped. Laser Amplifiers versus Amplifiers Based on Optical NonlinearitiesMost optical amplifiers are laser amplifiers, where the amplification is based on stimulated emission. Here, the gain medium contains some atoms, ions or molecules in an excited state, which can be stimulated by the signal light to emit more light into the same radiation modes. Such gain media are either insulators doped with some laser-active ions, or semiconductors (semiconductor optical amplifiers), which can be electrically or optically pumped. Doped insulators for laser amplification are laser crystals and glasses used in bulk form, or some types of waveguides, such as optical fibers (fiber amplifiers). The laser-active ions are usually either rare earth ions or (less frequently) transition-metal ions. A particularly important type of laser amplifier is the erbium-doped fiber amplifier, which is used mostly for optical fiber communications.In addition to stimulated emission, there also exist other physical mechanisms for optical amplification, which are based on various types of optical nonlinearities. Optical parametric amplifiers are usually based on a medium with (2) nonlinearity, but there are also parametric fiber devices using the (3) nonlinearity of a fiber. Other types of nonlinear amplifiers are Raman amplifiers and Brillouin amplifiers, exploiting the delayed nonlinear response of a medium.An important difference between laser amplifiers and amplifiers based on nonlinearities is that laser amplifiers can store some amount of energy, whereas nonlinear amplifiers provide gain only as long as the pump light is present. Multipass Arrangements, Regenerative Amplifiers, and Amplifier ChainsA bulk-optical laser amplifier often provides only a moderate amount of gain, typically only few decibels. This applies particularly to ultrashort pulse amplifiers, since they must be based on broadband gain media, which tend to have lower emission cross sections. The effective gain may then be increased either by arranging for multiple passes of the radiation through the same amplifier medium (multipass amplifier), or by using several amplifiers in a sequence (amplifier chains).Figure1: Setup of a multipass femtosecond amplifier. Multipass operation (Figure1) can be achieved with combinations of mirrors (for several passes with slightly different angular directions), or (mostly for ultrashort pulses) with regenerative amplifiers.For very large amplification factors, multi-stage amplifiers (amplifier chains) are often better suited. For example, a regenerative amplifier may amplify pulses to an energy of a few millijoules, and a multipass amplifier further boosts the pulse energy to hundreds of millijoules. Between the amplifier stages, the pulses can be spatially or spectrally filtered in various ways, helping to achieve a high beam quality and/or a shorter pulse duration. Gain SaturationFor high values of the input light intensity or fluence, the amplification factor of a gain medium saturates, i.e., is reduced (gain saturation). This is a natural consequence of the fact that an amplifier cannot add arbitrary levels of energy or power to an input signal. However, as laser amplifiers (particularly those based on solid-state gain media) store some amount of energy in the gain medium, this energy can be extracted within a very short time. Therefore, during some short time interval the output power can exceed the pump power by many orders of magnitude. Detrimental EffectsFor high gain, weak parasitic reflections can cause parasitic lasing, i.e., oscillation without an input signal, or additional output components not caused by the input signal. This effect then limits the achievable gain. Even without any parasitic reflections, amplified spontaneous emission may extract a significant power from an amplifier.A related effect is that amplifiers also add some excess noise to the output. This applies not only to laser amplifiers, where excess noise can partly be explained as the effect of spontaneous emission, but also to nonlinear amplifiers. Ultrafast AmplifiersAmplifiers of different kind may also be used for amplifying ultrashort pulses. In some cases, a high repetition rate pulse train is amplified, leading to a high average power while the pulse energy remains moderate. In other cases, a much higher gain is applied to pulses at lower repetition rates, leading to high pulse energies and correspondingly huge peak powers. A number of special aspects apply to such devices, and are discussed in the article on ultrafast amplifiers. Important Parameters of an Optical AmplifierImportant parameters of an optical amplifier include:the maximum gain, specified as an amplification factor or in decibels (dB)the saturation power, which is related to the gain efficiencythe saturated output power (for a given pump power)the power efficiency and pump power requirementsthe saturation energythe time of energy storage (upper-state lifetime)the gain bandwidth (and possibly smoothness of gain spectrum)the noise figure and possibly more detailed noise specificationsthe sensitivity to back-reflectionsDifferent kinds of amplifiers differ very much e.g. in terms of saturation properties. For example, rare-earth-doped gain media can store substantial amounts of energy, whereas optical parametric amplifiers provide amplification only as long as the pump beam is present. As another example, semiconductor optical amplifiers store much less energy than fiber amplifiers, and this has important implications for optical fiber communications. ApplicationsTypical applications of optical amplifiers are:An amplifier can boost the (average) power of a laser output to higher levels (master oscillator power amplifier = MOPA).It can generate extremely high peak powers, particularly in ultrashort pulses, if the stored energy is extracted within a short time.It can amplify weak signals before photodetection, and thus reduce the detection noise, unless the added amplifier noise is large.In long fiber-optic links for optical fiber communications, the optical power level has to be raised between long sections of fiber before the information is lost in the noise.

The structure is much the same, with two specially designed slabs of semiconductor material on top of each other, with another material in between them forming the 'active layer. An electrical current is set running through the device in order to excite electrons which can then fall back to the non-excited ground state and give out photons. Incoming optical signal stimulates emission of light at its own wavelength. SOA can be classified into two groups, Fabry-Perot Amplifiers (FPA) and Traveling Wave Amplifiers (TWA). The difference is the reflectivity coefficient value of both mirror surfaces. 72Dispositivo

77Basic theoryThe Raman effect occurs when light impinges upon a molecule and interacts with the electron cloud of the bonds of that molecule. The amount of deformation of the electron cloud is the polarizability of the molecule. The amount of the polarizability of the bond will determine the intensity and frequency of the Raman shift. The photon (light quantum), excites one of the electrons into a virtual state. When the photon is released the molecule relaxes back into vibrational energy state. The molecule will typically relax into the first vibration energy states, and this generated Stokes Raman scattering. If the molecule was already in an elevated vibrational energy state, the Raman scattering is then called Anti-Stokes Raman scattering.78Complementao sobre AOERBIUM-DOPED PLANAR OPTICAL AMPLIFIERS A.

As a function of europium concentration we observe an increase in decay rate of the erbium 4I11/2 energy level and an increase of the ratio of photoluminescence emission from the 4I13/2 and 4I11/2 states. Using a rate equation model, we show that this is due to an energy transfer from the 4I11/2 to 4I13/2 transition in erbium to europium. This increases the branching ratio of the 4I11/2 state towards the 4I13/2 state and results in a higher steady state population of the first excited state of erbium. Absolute intensity enhancement of the 4I13/2 emission is obtained for europium concentrations between 0.1 and 0.3 at. %. In addition, the photoluminescence due to upconversion processes originating from the 4I11/2 state is reduced. Using such state-selective energy transfer the efficiency of erbium doped waveguide amplifiers can be increased. False color image of the green emission of Er31 with and withouteuropium.

87Fig.: Electric field contour lines for all the guided modes of a fiber with a top-hat refractive index profile (step index fiber). The two colors indicate different signs of electric field values. The lowest-order mode (l = 1, m = 0, called LP01 mode) has an intensity profile which is similar to that of a Gaussian beam. In general, light launched into a multimode fiber will excite a superposition of different modes, which can have a rather complicated shape. Fiber Modes Single-Mode vs. Multimode FibersA fiber can support one or several (sometimes even many) propagation modes the intensity distributions of which are located at or immediately around the fiber core, although some of the intensity may propagate within the fiber cladding. Other modes are not restricted to the core region and all called cladding modes. The power in these is usually lost after some distance of propagation, but can in some cases propagate over longer distances. Outside the cladding, there is typically a protective polymer coating, which gives the fiber improved mechanical strength and protection against moisture, and also determines the losses for cladding modes.An important distinction is that between single-mode and multimode fibers:Single-mode fibers usually have a relatively small core (with a diameter of only a few micrometers) and can guide only a single spatial mode (disregarding the fact that there are two different polarization directions), the profile of which in most cases has roughly a Gaussian shape. Changing the launch conditions only affects the launched power, while the spatial distribution of the light exiting the fiber is fixed. Efficiently launching light into a single-mode fiber usually requires a laser source with good beam quality and precise alignment of the focusing optics in order to achieve mode matching. There are actually also large mode area fibers with single-mode guidance, where the alignment tolerances are lower in terms of position but higher in terms of angle (which is less of a problem). Multimode fibers usually have a larger core and/or a larger index difference between core and cladding, so that they support multiple modes with different intensity distributions (see the figure below). In this case, the spatial profile of light exiting the fiber core may depend on the launch conditions, which determine the distribution of power among the spatial modes. Long-range optical fiber communications systems usually use single-mode fibers, because the different group velocities of different modes would mess up the data at high data rates; for shorter distances, however, multimode fibers are more convenient as the demands on light sources and component alignment are lower. Therefore, local area networks (LANs), except those for highest bandwidth, normally use multimode fiber.Single-mode fibers are also normally used for fiber lasers and amplifiers. Multimode fibers are often used e.g. for the transport of light from a laser source to the place where it is needed, particularly when the light source has a poor beam quality and/or the high optical power requires a large mode area.Different modes of a fiber can be coupled via various effects, e.g. by bending, or often by irregularities in the refractive index profile. These may be unwanted or purposely introduced, e.g. as fiber Bragg gratings. Waveguide theory shows that an important factor for the coupling between different fiber modes is the difference of their wavenumbers, which for efficient coupling has to match the wavenumber of a coupling disturbance.Main ParametersThe design of a step-index fiber can be characterized with only two parameters, e.g. the core radius a and the refractive index difference n between core and cladding. Typical values of the core radius are a few microns for single-mode fibers and tens of microns or more for multimode fibers.Instead of the refractive index difference, one usually uses the numerical aperture, defined as which is the sine of the maximum acceptable angle of an incident beam with respect to the fiber axis (considering the launch from air into the core in a ray-optic picture). The NA also basically quantifies the strength of guidance. Typical values are of the order of 0.1 for single-mode fibers, even though actual values vary in a relatively large range. For example, large mode area single-mode fibers can have low numerical apertures below 0.05, while some rare-earth doped fibers have values of 0.3 and higher for a high gain efficiency. NA values around 0.3 are typical for multimode fibers. The sensitivity of a fiber to bend losses strongly diminishes with increasing NA, which causes strong confinement of the mode field to the core.Another frequently used parameter is the V number which is a kind of normalized frequency. Single-mode guidance is achieved when the V number is below about 2.405. Multimode fibers often have huge V values.88Fiber Modes Single-Mode vs. Multimode FibersA fiber can support one or several (sometimes even many) propagation modes the intensity distributions of which are located at or immediately around the fiber core, although some of the intensity may propagate within the fiber cladding. Other modes are not restricted to the core region and all called cladding modes. The power in these is usually lost after some distance of propagation, but can in some cases propagate over longer distances.

89Fig.: Electric field contour lines for all the guided modes of a fiber with a top-hat refractive index profile (step index fiber). The two colors indicate different signs of electric field values. The lowest-order mode (l = 1, m = 0, called LP01 mode) has an intensity profile which is similar to that of a Gaussian beam. In general, light launched into a multimode fiber will excite a superposition of different modes, which can have a rather complicated shape. Long-range optical fiber communications systems usually use single-mode fibers, because the different group velocities of different modes would mess up the data at high data rates; for shorter distances, however, multimode fibers are more convenient as the demands on light sources and component alignment are lower.
