非简并光学参量放大器线宽对纠缠增强的影响

非简并光学参量放大器可以有效地增强其注入纠缠态光场的纠缠度。但是由于光学参量放大器具有一定的线宽,所以不可能实现整个频率范围内的纠缠增强。为此,在本文中我们分析了光学参量放大器线宽对纠缠增强效率的影响,为今后开展宽频纠缠增强提供参考。     

Half baudrate electrical clock based demultiplexing scheme for OTDM-DQPSK signal using SOA and optical filter

A demultiplexing scheme based on semiconductor optical amplifier(SOA)and optical filter for optical time division multiplexing differential quadrature phase shift keying(OTDM-DQPSK)system is proposed and investigated experimentally.With only a common half baudrate electrical clock modulated 33%duty cycle return-to-zero(RZ-33)optical clock signal as pump,this scheme is cost-effective,energy-efficient,and integration-potential.A proof-of-concept experiment is carried out for the demultiplexing of a 2×40-GBd OTDM-DQPSK signal.Error-free performance is demonstrated,and the average power penalty for both channels is about 3 dB.     

Low-loss amorphous Si waveguides with gradient refractive index cladding structure

Amorphous Si waveguides with gradient refractive index cladding structure are proposed and fabricated using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method.Compared with 6 dB/cm for ridge waveguide without gradient cladding,the propagation loss of the gradient cladding waveguides is less than 1 dB/cm with both TE and TM polarizations.     

High power dual-wavelength tunable fiber laser in linear and ring cavity configurations

We describe and compare the performances of two crucial configurations for a tunable dual-wavelength fiber laser, namely, the linear and ring configurations. The performances of these two cavities and the tunability in the dual-wavelength output varied from 0.8 to 11.9 nm are characterized. The ring cavity provides a better performance, achieving an average output power of 0.5 dBm, with a power fluctuation of only 1.1 dB and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 66 dB. Moreover, the ring cavity has minimal or no background amplified spontaneous emission (ASE).     

Measurements of cirrus clouds with a three-wavelength lidar

A three-wavelength lidar system is set up. The backscatter signals of 355, 532, and 1 064 nm are mea- sured simultaneously to derive the optical depth, lidar ratio, and backscatter color ratio of cirrus clouds, respectively. The lidar configuration and the data processing are described. The case study shows that the optical depths of cirrus clouds are not dependent on wavelength while the backscatter color ratios are.     

Highly linear transmission and EVM improvement of vector modulation signals for radio-over-fiber applications

The principle of error vector magnitude (EVM) against modulator nonlinearity for vector modulation signal (VMS) transmission in radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems is theoretically and experimentally investigated. A highly linear modulation scheme is proposed and demonstrated using a single-drive dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). This method improves EVM performance and enlarges the linear input dynamic range of the VMS transmission. An index of maximum allowable input power difference (MAIPD) that reflects the difference of upper input power limits between these two schemes is measured. An EVM limitation of 5% MAIPD has 5 dB. Both 16and 64-QAM results indicate that the proposed scheme supports VMS transmission better than the MZM one.     

Experimental demonstration of RSOA-based WDM PON with PPM-encoded downstream signals

Pulse position modulation(PPM) is introduced downstream of the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA)-based single-fiber full-duplex bidirectional wavelength division multiplex passive optical network(WDM PON) to suppress the interference brought by the remodulation effect in the RSOA, Rayleigh backscattering,and reflection of the connection devices.In addition,because of the powerefficient characteristic of the PPM-encoded signals,the power budget shows clear improvement.As the experimental tests indicate,with～6 dB extinction ratio(ER) in the downstream signal,the receiving sensitivity of the PPM-encoded channel is～2.6 and～3 dB higher than that of the NRZ(Non-return to zero)-encoded channel in the downlink and uplink,respectively.
