Photo-bleaching induced electro-optic polymer modulators with dual driving electrodes operating at 1.55 /spl mu/m wavelength

Electro-optic (EO) polymeric Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulators with photo-bleaching (PB) induced waveguides and dual driving electrodes operating at 1.55 /spl mu/m wavelength have been demonstrated. The half-wave voltage of the integrated polymeric modulator was 4.5 V in a push-pull configuration with a 1.5 cm interaction length. The extinction ratio was greater than 20 dB, and the fibre-to-fibre insertion loss was 8 dB for the TM polarisation. The achieved fibre-to-fibre insertion loss and driving voltage are the best, to the authors knowledge, in the reported PB induced MZ EO polymeric modulators.

Packet acquisition in upstream transmission of the DOCSIS standard

In upstream transmission of the DOCSIS (data over cable service interface specification) 1.0/1.1 and the TDMA mode of DOCSIS 2.0 standard, a packet begins with a preamble, the length and value of which are programmable by the headend. The acquisition process includes packet detection, symbol timing estimation, carrier frequency offset estimation and carrier phase estimation by means of the preamble so that the following information packet can be correctly demodulated. Methods to solve these tasks are not subject to standardization and are left to the system designer. However, they have a great impact on the system performance and thus are key elements for implementation. We present dedicated algorithms. A specific preamble is created and the corresponding scheme for packet acquisition is described in some detail. The packet detecting algorithm is independent of the carrier and symbol timing. The symbol timing estimate is obtained by using the minimum mean square algorithm regardless of the carrier frequency deviation and carrier phase. Algorithms for estimating the carrier frequency offset and carrier phase are proposed. Computer simulation results are given for all algorithms presented.     

Breakdown probabilities for thin heterostructure avalanche photodiodes

The recurrence theory for the breakdown probability in avalanche photodiodes (APDs) is generalized to heterostructure APDs that may have multiple multiplication layers. The generalization addresses layer-boundary effects such as the initial energy of injected carriers as well as the layer-dependent profile of the dead space in the multiplication region. Reducing the width of the multiplication layer serves to both downshift and sharpen the breakdown probability curve as a function of the applied reverse-bias voltage. In structures where the injected carriers have an initial energy that is comparable to the ionization threshold energy, the transition from linear mode to Geiger-mode is more abrupt than in structures in which such initial energy is negligible. The theory is applied to two recently fabricated Al/sub 0.6/Ga/sub 0.4/As-GaAs heterostructure APDs and to other homostructure thin GaAs APDs and the predictions of the breakdown-voltage thresholds are verified.     

An extended cyclic MUSIC algorithm

Many modulated communication signals exhibit a cyclostationarity (or periodic correlation) property, corresponding to the underlying periodicity arising from carrier frequencies or baud rates. In this paper, we propose a new MUSIC-like direction-finding algorithm that exploits cyclostationarity in order to improve the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. Both cyclic and conjugate cyclic correlation matrices are used in the proposed method so that it can be considered as an extension of the cyclic MUSIC algorithm . The proposed cyclic method allows an increase in resolution power and noise robustness. Depending on the modulation type of incoming signals, the proposed method is also able to handle more sources than the number of sensors.     

Minimization of switching activities of partial products for designing low-power multipliers

This work presents low-power 2's complement multipliers by minimizing the switching activities of partial products using the radix-4 Booth algorithm. Before computation for two input data, the one with a smaller effective dynamic range is processed to generate Booth codes, thereby increasing the probability that the partial products become zero. By employing the dynamic-range determination unit to control input data paths, the multiplier with a column-based adder tree of compressors or counters is designed. To further reduce power consumption, the two multipliers based on row-based and hybrid-based adder trees are realized with operations on effective dynamic ranges of input data. Functional blocks of these two multipliers can preserve their previous input states for noneffective dynamic data ranges and thus, reduce the number of their switching operations. To illustrate the proposed multipliers exhibiting low-power dissipation, the theoretical analyzes of switching activities of partial products are derived. The proposed 16 /spl times/ 16-bit multiplier with the column-based adder tree conserves more than 31.2%, 19.1%, and 33.0% of power consumed by the conventional multiplier, in applications of the ADPCM audio, G.723.1 speech, and wavelet-based image coders, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed multipliers with row-based, hybrid-based adder trees reduce power consumption by over 35.3%, 25.3% and 39.6%, and 33.4%, 24.9% and 36.9%, respectively. When considering product factors of hardware areas, critical delays and power consumption, the proposed multipliers can outperform the conventional multipliers. Consequently, the multipliers proposed herein can be broadly used in various media processing to yield low-power consumption at limited hardware cost or little slowing of speed.
