Zijia Zhang, and Wenkang Shi
The characteristics of the transmission spectrum of the Long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) based on the coupling of core mode to a higher order cladding mode (HE mode) are investigated using the coupled mode theory.

This kind of LPFGs is different from that based on the coupling of core mode to a lower order cladding mode because of the effect of the coupling of core mode to EH cladding mode. When the cladding mode order is higher, the coupling coefficients of core mode to HE and EH cladding modes are comparable and both of the propagation constants of HE and EH cladding modes approach, so the spectrum has an additional loss peak. The bandwidth of LPFG based on the coupling of core mode to different cladding mode differs greatly. With the change of the mode orders from lower to higher, the transmission spectrum changes from narrow to wide and more narrow..

The DMS transmission of filtering control in constant birefringence fibers is firstly analyzed by varitional method, from which the evolving rules of characteristical DMS parameters are obtained. Secondly, the stability of DMS transmission and its timing jitter are investigated in the random varying birefringence fibers with the conventional model of PMD. The results reveal that filter control DMS system has powerful robustness to PMD effects and DMS’s timing jitter can be decreased considerably with the help of filters..

The more undissolved solid exists in the mixture of solute and solvent, the less transmitted laser intensity is detected. Only when the transmitted laser intensity in stirring state and that in static state comes into equalization, the dissolving process stops. Under the help of laser intensity judgement, measurements turn to be more feasible and objective, especially at high pressure. The average relative errors for the solubility data determined in this paper are 2.3% for those in the minor value scope and 1.7%for those in the high value scope respectively. Comparison of the experimental solubility data with the literature ones demonstrates that the laser-aid solubility determination apparatus is stable and reliable..
