With the development of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) techniques for large capacity optical communication systems, dispersion compensation technologies have been applied into the field. Fiber-based dispersion compensation is an attractive technology for upgrading WDM communication systems because of its dispersion characteristics and good compatibility with transmission optical fibers. Dispersion compensation fibers and the modules are promising technologies, so they have been receiving more and more attention in recent years. In this work, high performance dispersion compensation fiber modules (DCFMs) were developed and applied for the 40 Giga bit-rate systems. First, the design optimization of the dispersion optical fibers was carried out. In theory, the better the refractive index profile is, the larger the negative dispersion we could obtain and the higher the figure of merit (FOM) for the dispersion optical fiber is. Then we manufactured the fiber by using the plasma chemical vapor deposition (PCVD) process of independent intellectual property rights, and a high performance dispersion optical fiber was fabricated. Dispersion compensation fiber modules are made with the dispersion compensating fibers (DCFs) and pigtail fibers at both ends of the DCFs to connect with the transmission fibers. The DCFMs present the following superior characteristics: low insertion loss (IL), low polarization mode dispersion, good matched dispersion for transmission fibers, low nonlinearity, and good stability for environmental variation. The DCFMs have the functions of dispersion compensation and slope compensation in the wavelength range of 1525 to 1625 nm. The experiments showed that the dispersion compensation modules (DCMs) met the requirements of the GR-1221-CORE, GR-2854-CORE, and GR-63-CORE standards. The residual dispersions of the G.652 transmission lines compensated for by the DCM in the C-band are less than 3.0 ps/nm, and the dispersion slopes are also compensated for by 100%. With the DCFMs, the 880 km unidirectional transmission experiments in the 48-channel 40 Gbps WDM communication system was successfully made, and the results showed that the channel cost was smaller than 1.20 dB, without any bit error..

Simulation results indicate that error-free operation can be achieved in a 20-km transmission, and the receiver sensitivity of return-to-zero differential phase-shift keying (RZ-DPSK) is higher than nonreturn-to-zero differential phase-shift keying (NRZ-DPSK) in the proposed scheme..

The OC label is generated and recognized by a label generator and recognizer, respectively. The label generator is composed of N encoders in parallel, and it can generate 2N kinds of serial optical code labels (SOCLs) for indicating 2N network routing information. The label recognizer can decode SOCLs by N decoders in parallel and provides label information to the switching control unit so that clock information is not required during the decoding process. In the switch nodes, handling of the high-speed information payload stream and the recognition of the OC label are performed in the optical domain, while processing of the routing information remains in the electrical domain. This approach could be a promising solution for an OPS network with high capacity, good quality of service (QoS), multi-service function and high security. In this experiment, we demonstrate 40 Gbps 256 label optical packet switching that employs clockless SOCL processing..

The simulation model is verified by comparing with the Matlab numeric results using the piecewise-uniform MFBG model. As an example, the polarization-dependent loss (PDL) of an MFBG-based Sagnac interferometer (MSI) is analyzed in detail. Simulation results indicate that the magnetic field sensitivity of the MSI system can be improved by optimizing the coupling coefficient of the coupler, and the maximum of peak PDL is up to three times that of the single MFBG structure. The simulation model proposed in the paper is useful for the design of MFBG-based optical information devices..

The performance of an optical scanner is frequently limited by the presence of mechanical resonances. This paper presents an analog notch filter with adjustable function to reject the mechanical resonances of the optical scanner. First of all, the structure and work principle of the piezoelectric optical scanner are introduced. Furthermore, the frequency sweep method based on virtual instruments is used to gain the natural frequency of the piezoelectric optical scanner. Then, the notch filters in series are used to reduce the oscillation of the scanner at the resonance frequencies. A variety of scanning experiments were carried out. After the introduction of the notch filter, the non-linearity was reduced to ±1.1% from ±2.1%. The linearity performance was greatly improved..

In the semiconductor industry, a technique for measuring small features is required as circuit integration becomes denser and the wafer size becomes larger. An interferometric system known as a three-longitudinal-mode heterodyne interferometer (TLMI) is made of two main parts: optical setup and electronic sections. In the optical part, the base and measurement signals having 500-MHz frequency are produced, resulting from interfering three longitudinal modes. The secondary beat frequency to measure the displacement in the TLMI is about 300 kHz. To extract the secondary beat frequency, wide-band amplifiers, doublebalanced mixers (DBMs), band-pass filters (BPFs), and low-pass filters (LPFs) are used. In this paper, we design the integrated circuit of a super-heterodyne interferometer with total gain of 56.9 dB in size of 1030 μm×1030 μm..

It is important for optical manufacDuring the testing of aspherical mirrors through the null compensation method, structural parameters observe changes which affect the test results of interference pattern. Several errors are induced due to the maladjustment among compensator, interferometer and the mirror under test. It is important for optical manufacturing, testing and the actual alignment process to distinguish between the aberrations arising from both surface errors and maladjustment of the null compensation testing system. The purpose of this paper is to obtain the real aspheric surface errors during the optical polishing process. In this work, we have established an error separation model to the least square method to separate the errors caused by the maladjustment of the testing system from the test results. Finally, the analysis and simulation results show that high precision figure errors can be obtained by separating the maladjustment errors..

ThisThis paper is based on the analysis of white organic electroluminescent device electroluminescent spectrum to explain the regular pattern of carrier radiation distribution. It has proved electron that is injected from cathode is satisfied with the regularity of radiation distribution on the organic emitting layer. This radiation distribution is related to several factors, such as electron injection capabilities, applied electrical field intensity, carrier mobility, etc. The older instruction design is ITO/2- TNATA/NPB/ADN:DCJTB:TBPe/Alq3/cathode. Get to change electron injector capabilities through using different cathode and also find electroluminescent spectrum to produce significant changes. Simultaneously, electron radiation quantity has some limitation, and electroluminescent spectrum reflects that spectral intensity does not change anymore when the ratio of cathode dopant reaches a value, namely, the quantity of electron’s radiation distribution gets to a saturated state on the organic emitting layer. It also shows the same spectrum variational phenomenon while changing the applied electrical field intensity. To put forward of the carrier radiation distribution is good for organic light emitting diode (OLED) luminescence properties analysis and research..

By using approximate expansion of circle diaphragm and generalized Huygens-Fresnel diffraction formula, a universal analytic expression is deduced for the flat-topped multi-Gaussian beams passing through a misaligned optical system with two-lens and two-diaphragm. The study on the propagating property of fundamental-mode Gaussian beams and a flat-topped multi-Gaussian beam is carried out accordingly. The expansion of complex Gauss function of misaligned optical circle diaphragm is given, as well as a group of new parameter values of the expansion of complex Gauss function. By using the new parameter values, the influence of disadjust parameters on output intensity distribution is analyzed numerically. The result shows that the diaphragms’ offset can make the beams offset or covered, and the second diaphragm influences more; the angle deflection of diaphragms can make light beams compressed in the deflection direction, and the first diaphragm influences more; the offset of the first lens can weaken light intensity in the same direction of the lens offset, and the offset of the second lens can weaken light intensity in the opposite direction of the lens offset; the angle deflection of the first lens can make light beams move to the opposite direction, and the angle deflection of the second lens has no influence; when all the diaphragms and the lenses are disadjust, the angle deflection of the first lens has a vital influence to the output intensity distribution..

The aFree space optical (FSO) communication is one of the most recently developed modes of wireless communication. FSO is a technique used to convey data carried by a laser beam through the atmosphere. While FSO offers a broadband service, it requires a line of sight communication between the transmitter and receiver. The atmosphere has effects on the laser beam passing through it. For instance, the quality of data received is affected by the scattering and atmospheric turbulence. The atmospheric turbulence is caused by both temporary and special random fluctuations of the refractive index along the optical propagation path. Clear air turbulence impairs the performance of the FSO due to the fluctuation in the intensity of the laser beam. By referring to the two criteria, namely bit error rate (BER) and signal to noise ratio (SNR), this work includes analysis of the effect of atmospheric turbulence on FSO systems in Yemen by using an appropriate model..
