Power penalty in multitone radio-over-fibre system employing direct and external modulation with optical amplifiers

This paper presents a multitone RoF system employing a central station and a remote antenna station to transmit modulated microwave or mm-wave signals. Two configurations of the system employing direct and external modulation are presented. First, at the central station, the modulating signal is directly and externally modulated at 1549.5 and 1550.5 nm, respectively, and the combined signal is then transmitted using wireless mode. In the second configuration, the combined signal is transmitted over 20 km to the remote antenna station using optical fibre connectivity. At the remote antenna station, both channel wavelengths are separated and amplified with an EDFA and SOA and are detected. The demonstration results show that there exists a small power penalty between the direct and the external modulation. But a large power penalty is reported depending upon the choice of optical amplifier viz. EDFA or SOA. Better performance is recorded in later case. The results also show that power is being distributed among the operating frequency and sidebands adjacent to it after transmission over a fibre link.

Thermodynamic limitation on the conversion of heat into coherent radiation

From the thermodynamical point of view there is the possibility of supplying a small amount of the energy of coherent radiation from a thermal reservoir. This possibility is attributed to the finite flow of entropy of light which is coherent but shows amplitude and/or phase fluctuations even if the radiation field consists of only a single mode.     

Squeezed states in direct and coherent detection

With reference to squeezed states, we analyse the noise performances of the basic detection schemes in fibre telecommunications and interferometry. We have developed a semiclassical approach that allows us to translate the quantum mechanical formalism into synthetic expressions and rules only involving directly measurable physical quantities. As a result, we find that in the telecommunication field squeezed states do not allow significant improvements in system performances: in practice, the signal-to-noise ratio cannot be increased in standard detection schemes, both direct and coherent, by squeezing either the signal (because of propagation losses) or by the local oscillator. On the contrary, a significant improvement can be obtained in interferometric measurements if squeezed vacuum is coupled into the normally unused beamsplitter port.

The formulation is further extended to the case that the complex degree of coherence of the illumination contains a quadratic phase term.

Second-harmonic conversion of partially coherent radiation of neodymium glass laser

The experimental results on the conversion of multimode radiation of a neodymium glass laser with controlled spatial and temporal coherence to the second optical harmonic in nonlinear KDP crystal during the oee interaction implementation are presented. The dependence of the efficiency of the conversion to the second harmonic on the fundamental radiation power density on the crystal in the range I = 0.2 ? 5 GW/cm² is studied at the number of transverse modes in the cavity N = 1000; the radiation divergence φ = 3.5, 4.7, and 5 mrad; the emission spectral width δλ = 5and 42 Å; and the pulse duration of 2.5 ns. The breakdown power density of the KDP crystal is determined, the interference properties of the converted radiation of the second harmonic are studied.     

Theoretical study of thermoelectronic laser energy conversion

The structure of the distribution of plasma parameters over the interelectrode space of a thermoelectronic converter of laser energy into electrical energy was analyzed. Processes occurring in the near-electrode discharge regions were studied. Equations describing the equilibrium core of a continuous optical discharge were derived, and boundary conditions were imposed on these equations. A method of numerical solution and a software package for simulating the energy converter operation were developed.

Theoretical analysis on two-photon absorption spectroscopy in a confined four-level atomic system

We investigate theoretically two-photon absorption spectroscopy modified by a control field in a confined Y-type four-level system. Dicke-narrowing effect occurs both in two-photon absorption lines and the dips of transparency against two-photon absorption due to enhanced contribution of slow atoms. We also find that the suppression and the enhancement of two-photon absorption can be modified by changing the strength of the control field and the detuning of three laser fields. This control of two-photon absorption may have some applications in information processing and optical devices.     

Theoretical analysis of coherent electron transport in structures containing multiband superconductors with different types of superconducting pairing

Coherent electron transport in structures with multiband superconductors described by models of intraorbital (the s _± model) and interorbital superconducting pairing has been theoretically considered. Conductivities of junctions of a single-band normal metal with superconducting pnictides for these pairing models have been calculated. Temperature and phase dependences of the Josephson current through junctions containing a conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superconductor and a superconducting pnictide have been calculated within the considered pairing models taking into account temperature dependences of superconducting order parameters.     

Real-time one-dimensional coherent imaging through single-mode fibers by space time conversion processors

We introduce and experimentally demonstrate a novel technique for one-dimensional coherent imaging through a single-mode optical fiber by use of a pulse shaper and a pulse imager. In contrast to the wavelength-division-multiplexed encoding technique, our approach preserves both amplitude and phase information of the optical signal transmitted through the fiber, allowing one to encode longitudinal in addition to transverse optical information. The effect of the fiber-material dispersion on our imaging technique is analyzed, and potential solutions are discussed.     

Theoretical analysis on deflagration-to-detonation transition

The study on deflagration-to-detonation transition(DDT) is very important because this mechanism has relevance to safety issues in industries, where combustible premixed gases are in general use. However, the quantitative prediction of DDT is one of the major unsolved problems in combustion and detonation theory to date. In this paper, the DDT process is studied theoretically and the critical condition is given by a concise theoretical expression. The results show that a deflagration wave propagating with about 60% Chapman–Jouguet(CJ) detonation velocity is a critical condition. This velocity is the maximum propagating velocity of a deflagration wave and almost equal to the sound speed of combustion products. When this critical condition is reached, a CJ detonation is triggered immediately. This is the quantitative criteria of the DDT process.     

Performance analysis of coherent optical scatterometry

Scatterometry is a well established technique currently utilized in research, as well as in industrial applications, to retrieve the properties of a given scatterer (the target) by looking at how the light coming from a certain source is diffracted in the far field. Currently the light source is often a discharge lamp that, after wavelength filtering, can be thought as a quasi-monochromatic, but spatially incoherent, source. In the present work, benefits of using a focused spot from a spatially coherent light source, as that emitted by a laser, are investigated on a theoretical viewpoint. The focused spot is scanned over the object of interest and, for each scan position, a far-field diffraction pattern is recorded. Our results show that spatially coherent light can sensibly increase the accuracy of the technique with respect to the target’s geometrical profile.     

Influence of self-phase modulation on coherent effects in five-level system

The possibility of formation of a coherent dark state in the five-level system in the entire volume of the medium in an adiabatic pulse propagation is investigated. It is shown that the dark state formation is independent on the value of the first two-photon detuning from the resonance, which may be changed during the propagation in the medium. In the case of the M-type system with the equal strengths of oscillators at the extreme transitions it is shown that the self-phase modulation does not influence the coherent effects while in the ladder-type system it may lead to the destruction of the dark state. The estimation of the length of the medium in which the propagation effects are negligible is obtained.     

Quantum noise property in coherent atomic system

The coherent superposition of atomic states leads to the characteristic change of interacting lights because of the coupling between the lights and atoms. In this paper, the noise spectrum of the quantified light interacting with the atoms is studied under the condition of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). It is shown that the noise spectrum displays a double M-shape noise profile resulted from the conversion of phase noise of probe beam. A squeezing of 0.3 dB can be observed at the detuning of probe light at the proper parameters of atoms and coupling beam.
