A Novel Approach to All-Optical Generation of Ultra-Wideband Signals

Abstract

The generation of ultra-wideband signals in the optical domain is highly desirable for ultra-wideband-over-fiber systems, which has recently become a topic of interest. In this article, a novel and simple approach to achieve all-optical generation of ultra-wideband signals is proposed, which is based on delaying and superimposing optical Gaussian pulses with opposite polarities. The proposed system is capable of generating both ultra-wideband monocycle and doublet pulses, and the polarity of the generated ultra-wideband monocycle pulses can be fast-switched to implement pulse polarity modulation with the required bit pattern. A model to describe the proposed system is developed, and the generation of ultra-wideband signals is demonstrated with simulations and a proof-of-concept experiment.     

Optimal control of infinite-dimensional uncertain systems

In this paper, we consider a minimax problem of optimal control for a class of strongly nonlinear uncertain evolution equations on a Banach space. We prove the existence of optimal controls. A nontrivial example of a class of systems governed by a nonlinear partial differential equation with uncertain spatial parameters is presented for illustration.This work was supported in part by the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada under Grant No. A7109 and The Engineering Faculty Development Fund, University of Ottawa.The authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions.     

An exponent bound on skew Hadamard abelian difference sets

A difference setD in a groupG is called a skew Hadamard difference set (or an antisymmetric difference set) if and only ifG is the disjoint union ofD, D(^–1), and {1}, whereD(^–1)={d^–1|dD}. In this note, we obtain an exponent bound for non-elementary abelian groupG which admits a skew Hadamard difference set. This improves the bound obtained previously by Johnsen, Camion and Mann.     

Convex polynomial and spline approximation in C[−1, 1]

We prove that a convex functionf C[–1, 1] can be approximated by convex polynomialsp _n of degreen at the rate of ₃(f, 1/n). We show this by proving that the error in approximatingf by C² convex cubic splines withn knots is bounded by ₃(f, 1/n) and that such a spline approximant has anL third derivative which is bounded by n³₃(f, 1/n). Also we prove that iff C²[–1, 1], then it is approximable at the rate ofn ^–2 (f, 1/n) and the two estimates yield the desired result.Communicated by Ronald A. DeVore.
