Abstract
Nonlinear optical loop mirrors (NOLMs) are used in modern fiber optic devices and optical communications. In this study, we present numerical analyses of the multiple variables involved in the operation of an NOLM in low- and high-power transmissions. The Jones matrix formalism was used to model linear and circular polarization inputs. We used three-dimensional (3D) plots to identify the characteristics required in the experimental operation of the NOLM. These characteristics, including the critical power, low- and high-power transmission, and dynamic range, depend on parameters such as the fiber loop length, input power, angle of retarder plate, and input polarization. A standard single-mode fiber (SMF-28) with high twist loop lengths of 100, 300, and 500 m and input powers of 0–100 W was simulated. Three-dimensional surface graphics provided a comprehensive view of the NOLM transmission and considerably enhanced the optimal transmission by manipulating adjustable device components including the power and polarization control plates. Optimal transmission facilitates its use in integrating ultrafast pulse generation, optical signal processing, optical communication systems, and photonic integrated circuit applications.
