We propose a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) triplet signal source based on the cross-gain modulation (XGM) in semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). In the proposed scheme, only an optical source and two SOAs are needed, so the all-optical structure is compact. A triplet optical pulse with center frequency of 6.25 GHz and fractional bandwidth of 83% is obtained by the scheme. The extinction ratio can be improved by the counter-propagating scheme. The triplet pulse signal with only one wavelength can be easily controlled, and can aviod the dispersion effect. The output triplet pulse signal is insensitive to the light wavelength shifts, its available wavelength range is wide, the dynamic range of the input power is more than 6 dBm, and the bias current of the SOAs is exhibited..

En-ming XU, Fei WANG, and Pei-li LI
A cascaded filter combining active and passive filters is proposed. The active filter acts as a low-coherence infinite- impulse-response (IIR) filter and achieves a sharp frequency response.

A cascaded filter combining active and passive filters is proposed. The active filter acts as a low-coherence infinite- impulse-response (IIR) filter and achieves a sharp frequency response. The low-coherence IIR filter is realized by employing the cross-gain modulation (XGM) of the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) spectrum of the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The passive filter is an n-section unbalance Mach-Zehnder (UMZ) structure, which is used to increase free spectral range (FSR) and Q factor further. The low-coherence IIR filter cascaded with one section of UMZ passive filter is experimentally demonstrated, and a Q factor of 1268 is obtained..

To ameliorate the disadvantages of imaging system coupled with imaging fiber bundle, a method by adding square aperture microlens arrays at both entrance and exit ends of the imaging fiber bundle is proposed to increase the system’s coupling efficiency. The expressions for solving the parameters of both ends’ microlens units are deducted particularly. The microlens arrays used for an infrared imaging fiber bundle with the single fiber diameter of 100 μm and core diameter of 70 μm are designed by this method. The simulation results show that compared with the system without microlens arrays, the fill factor of the imaging fiber bundle coupled microlens arrays system is increased from 44.4% to more than 90%, and the coupling efficiency is doubled too. So the design method is correct, and the introduction of microlens arrays into imaging fiber bundle coupled system is feasible and superior..

A nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) constructed with linear dispersion decreasing fiber (DDF) is used to compress a beat signal. Several factors impacting on quality of output pulse in this compression system, such as dispersion slope of DDF, power-splitting ratio, incident pulse shape and peak power, are analyzed numerically. The new method for selecting device characteristics is adopted to enable both good pedestal suppression and pulse compression. As a result, the output pulse train with tunable and high repetition rate, pedestal energy of 5.09%, compression ratio of 25.6 and energy transmissivity of 50.56% is obtained by using 0.524 km-long DDF with dispersion slope of 26 ps

An all-optical logic AND gate based on two-photon absorption (TPA) in semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is simulated. By solving the rate equations of SOA in the form of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), the performance of AND gate is numerically investigated. The model takes the effects of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and pulse energy on the system’s quality factor (Q-factor) into account. Results show that the all-optical AND gate based on TPA in SOA-MZI based structure is feasible at 250 Gbit/s with a proper Q-factor..

In order to improve the performance of optical wavelength-selective switches based on double micro-ring resonators, an asymmetric intra-step-barrier coupled double strained quantum wells (AICD-SQWs) structure is utilized as the active light guiding medium. The AICD-SQW active layer has advantages, such as large change range in absorption coefficient, high extinction ratio, large Stark shift and very low insertion. For predicting the switching characteristics of double ring resonators structure, the absorption coefficient and real refractive index changes of the AICD-SQW active layer are calculated for different applied electric fields for TE input light polarization. Simulation results show that switching characteristics strongly depend on changes in absorption coefficient and real refractive index of active layer. In addition, isolations of 37.44 dB and 26.84 dB are realized between drop and through ports, when drop and through ports are ON and OFF, respectively, and vice versa..

Diamond films are deposited on porous Ti substrates by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) method. For adjusting the residual stress of substrate and the titanium carbide (TiC) intermediate layer, the substrates are under annealing process firstly, then are put into alkaline solution with electricity oxidation, and finally composite membranes are obtained by HFCVD, which are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), metalloscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results show that the composite membranes deposited on unannealed substrates are cracked obviously in both sides and broken off easily. After annealing process, the membranes are no longer cracked easily, because the tensile stress distributed in substrates is significantly relieved. After passivation process, TiC generated between diamond film and substrate is less than that without passivation process..

The various mode effective indices of the doped photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) are compared, the mode field distributions of the fundamental mode and the second-order mode are analyzed, and the single-mode condition is presented. The mode effective indices of large-core doped PCFs with different core indices and structure parameters are simulated by the finite element method (FEM). The relations of the core index with the fiber structure parameters of pitch, hole-to-pitch ratio and core diameter are obtained for single-mode propagation. In the design and fabrication of the doped PCF, we can adjust the core index and fiber structure parameters to achieve large mode area and single-mode propagation..

In this paper, the multi-channel access technology of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in the wireless ultraviolet (UV) scattering communication is studied. A multi-interface and multi-channel device is deployed in each UV transceiver node. The band-pass filter is configured in the receiving node so as to realize the multi-channel access by use of the UV WDM technology. Both the UV communication node model and the UV channel model are established. Three types of UV no-line-of-sight (NLOS) multi-channel communications are simulated in the mesh topologies with NS2. The results show that the UV multi-channel access technology can increase network throughput effectively with using WDM..

A new grouped precoding technique based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) is presented for peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction of optical intensity modulated/direct detection (IM/DD) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. The computational complexity of the scheme is reduced by at least about 15% compared with that of the ordinary DCT precoding scheme when the number of groups is 2. The PAPR with this method can be reduced by about 0.8 dB. Meantime, compared with original OFDM, the bit error rate (BER) performance of system is improved. So the proposed scheme for reducing PAPR is very effective in optical IM/DD OFDM systems..

The single photonic quantum well (PQW) structures are successfully fabricated on p-type silicon wafer by electrochemical etching process, and are used for DNA detection firstly. The red shift of resonance peak is caused by the changing refractive index of PSi layer, which results from coupling of organic molecules into pores. When the porous silicon (PSi) based single PQW biosensors are immersed in complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with different concentrations ranging from 0.625 μM to 10.000 μM, a good linear relationship is observed between the red shift of resonance peak and the complementary DNA concentration. Experimental results show that the detection sensitivity of PSi-based single PQW biosensors is 3.04 nm/μM with a detection limit of 32 nM for 16-base pair DNA oligonucleotides..

A novel chromatic dispersion (CD) monitoring technique based on asynchronous amplitude histogram (AAH) for higher order modulation formats is proposed in this paper. Without demodulating the signal, in the monitoring scheme, the received signal is sampled asynchronously, and thus clock information and high-speed sampling units are unnecessary, resulting in low cost and high reliability. Simulations of CD monitoring technique for non-return-to-zero/]return- to-zero (NRZ/RZ) 16- and 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) systems with different optical signal-tonoise ratios (OSNRs) and duty cycles are investigated, and the tolerance of the scheme is also discussed. Simulation results show that the presented CD monitoring technique with high sensitivity can be applied to monitor the residual CD of a transmission link in the next-generation optical networks..

The experimental results show that the average deviation of 1.1% is obtained between the experimental results and the theoretical simulation at the buffer length of 30 mm. Experiments show that the minimum background signal occurs when the buffer length is equal to a quarter of the acoustic wavelength (λ/4).

Based on core diameter mismatch, a multimode-single mode-multimode (MSM) structure is presented. It is demonstrated that the three parameters can be measured respectively by the interference of the core mode and cladding modes excited in the single mode fiber (SMF). Then combined with a polarization-maintaining fiber Bragg grating (PMFBG) which has different sensing properties from MSM structure, three parameters are measured simultaneously. The experimental results show that PMFBG is insensitive to the refractive index and the refractive index sensitivity of the MSM structure is 96.04 nm·RIU-1; the temperature sensitivities of the characteristic wavelength for MSM structure and the center wavelengths of fast and slow axes for PMFBG are 0.0911 nm . °C
