Analysis of linewidth and extinction ratio in directly modulated lasers for performance optimization in 10 Gbit/s CWDM systems

Direct Modulation Lasers (DMLs) have attracted increased attention during the past few years because of their intrinsic simplicity and cost-effectiveness, especially when applied to WDM metro and access networks. However, the output power waveform from a directly modulated laser is not an exact replica of the modulation current and its instantaneous optical frequency varies with time depending on the changes in optical power and the extinction ratio (ER) (an effect also known as frequency chirp). In this work, using an Optical Communication System Design Software, we have studied a directly modulated WDM 10 Gb/s system which transmission performance depends strongly on DML characteristics; simulation results have provided supplementary details about the effects of DML type (adiabatic or transient chirp dominated) as well as the effects of the optical output power. These details can provide useful design guidelines for constructing a WDM metro network.     

A layered vanadium arsenate network decorated with the directly coordinated organonitrogen ligands: [V4O7(HAsO4)2(o-phen)2] (o-phen=o-phenanthroline)

A novel layered vanadium arsenate [V₄O₇(HAsO₄)₂(o-phen)₂] 1 (o-phen=o-phenanthroline) was synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of V₂O₅, ZnCl₂, Na₂HAsO₄·7H₂O, o-phenanthroline (o-phen) and water. Its structure was determined by elemental analyses, ESR spectrum, XPS spectrum, TG analysis, IR spectrum and the single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group P2/c, a=10.122(2) Å, b=9.867(2) Å, c=15.367(3) Å, β=102.83(3)°, V=1496.4(5) Å³, Z=1, λ(MoKα)=0.71073 Å, (R(F)=0.0397 for 3422 reflections). Data were collected on a Rigaku R-AXIS RAPID IP diffractometer at 293 K in the range of 2.06°<θ<27.48°. The title compound contains an unusual two-dimensional (2D) As-V-O layer with four-, six- and eight-membered rings. The chelating o-phen ligands project perpendicularly above and below the undulating layer. 1 represents the first example of 2D inorganic vanadium arsenate backbone grafted with the directly coordinated organic ligands. Furthermore, the 3D supermolecular architecture is formed by π-π stacking interactions of the o-phen groups between adjacent layers.     

Impact of concatenated AWG filters in metro transparent network with DML

This paper studies the impact of concatenated AWG routers of metro transparent network with directly modulated lasers (DML). The wide bandwidth and central frequency shift of the directly modulated laser entail a large signal penalty, thereby limiting the allowable number of AWG routers in a metro network. The degradation caused by the concatenation of passband-flattened AWG is much lower than that of the conventional round-top AWG of the same number. Therefore the passband-flattened AWG has the largest allowable number in the metro network based on DML.

Directly suspended droplet microextraction combined with single drop back-extraction as a new approach for sample preparation compatible with capillary electrophoresis

A simple and novel method of directly suspended droplet microextraction (DSDME) combined with single drop back-extraction prior to capillary electrophoresis (CE) measurement is developed. In this technique, DSDME was firstly carried out under the maximum stirring rate for a desired time. Then, an aqueous droplet as back-extractive phase suspended at the needle tip was immersed in droplet of organic phase for back-extracted. After extraction, the aqueous droplet was transferred into a suitable vial and injected into CE for analysis. Three alkaloids were selected as model compounds for developing and evaluating the method performance. Under the optimum conditions, the enrichment factors ranged from 231 to 524. The relative standard deviations for five replicates were in the range of 4.8-8.1%. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 20-1000 ng mL⁻¹ yielding correlation coefficients higher than 0.9983. The limit of detections varied from 8.1 to 14.1 ng mL⁻¹. Human urine samples were spiked with three alkaloids standard to assess the matrix effects and satisfactory results were obtained. The advantages of this method are simplicity of operation, rapid detection, low cost, high enrichment factor and little solvent consumption.     

Directly suspended droplet microextraction in combination with microvolume UV-vis spectrophotometry for determination of phosphate

A miniaturized methodology for the determination of phosphate in waters has been developed by combining directly suspended droplet microextraction (DSDME) with microvolume spectrophotometry. The method is based on the extraction of the ion pair formed between 12-molybdophosphate and malachite green onto a microdrop of methyl isobutyl ketone and subsequent spectrophotometric determination with no dilution. An enrichment factor of 325 was obtained after 7.5 min of microextraction. The detection limit was 6.1 nM phosphate and the repeatability, expressed as relative standard deviation, was 2.7% (n = 6). The method was successfully applied to the determination of dissolved reactive phosphorus in different freshwater samples.

Determination of 3-nitroaniline in water samples by directly suspended droplet three-phase liquid-phase microextraction using 18-crown-6 ether and high-performance liquid chromatography

Liquid–liquid–liquid microextraction (LLLME) with directly suspended droplet in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been applied as a new, rapid and easy method for the determination of 3-nitroaniline in environmental water samples. The target compound was extracted from the aqueous sample solution (donor phase, pH 13) into an organic phase and then was back-extracted into a directly suspended droplet of an acidic aqueous solution (acceptor phase, pH 0.3). In this method, without using a microsyringe as supporting device, an aqueous large droplet is freely suspended at the top-center position of an immiscible organic solvent, which is laid over the aqueous sample solution while being agitated. Then, the droplet was withdrawn into the microsyringe and directly was injected into the HPLC system with UV detection at 227 nm. Up to 148-fold enrichment of the analyte could be obtained under the optimal conditions [i.e. donor phase: 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution (4.5 mL); organic phase: o-xylene/1-octanol (90:10, v/v; 250 μL); acceptor phase: 0.5 M hydrochloric acid and 500 mM 18-crown-6 ether (6 μL); extraction time: 60 s; back-extraction time: 6 min and stirring rate: 600 rpm]. The limit of detection was 1 μg/L (n = 7) and the relative standard deviation (RSD, n = 5) was 4.9 at S/N = 3. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 5–1500 μg/L with r = 0.9983. All experiments were carried out at room temperature (22 ± 0.5 °C).
