Design of an ultrafast all-optical NOR logic gate based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer using quantum-dot SOA

This paper proposes a design for all-optical NOR logic gate, based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) using quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-SOA). In this regard, a theoretical model for an ultrafast all-optical signal processor is developed using QD-SOA to achieve high bit rate operation. We have demonstrated the NOR gate operation in two cases of with and without an optical control pulse. Simulations have been carried out at data bit rates 160 Gb/s, 200 Gb/s, and 250 Gb/s for the case that control pulse is not applied, and also at data bit rates 1 Tb/s and 2 Tb/s in presence of control pulse which leads to improvement of gain recovery time and ultrafast NOR logic operation. In addition, quality factors of the output signals in presence and without the control pulse at different bit rates with different bias currents have been investigated for pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) of word length 2⁸–1.     

Performance enhanced down-stream signalling for next generation long-reach 10 Gbit/s passive optical networks

In this paper, we have analyzed the signal processing methods both in digital and optical domain to enhance the transmission performance of downstream signalling in long reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs). The impact of non-linear (NL) equalization through signal processing, i.e. Volterra Equalization (VE), Digital Backpropagation (BP) and Optical Phase Conjugation with Non-linearity Module (OPC-NM) is investigated, in 10 Gbit/s (XG) DP-QPSK long-reach wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) PONs without midspan repeaters over 120 km standard single mode fibre (SMF) link for down-stream signals. Due to the compensation of optical Kerr effects, the sensitivity penalty is reduced to 2 dB by BP algorithm, 1.5 dB by VE algorithm and 2.69 dB by OPC-NM. Moreover, with the implementation of NL equalization technique we are able to get the transmission distance of 126.6 km SMF for the 1:1024 split-ratio at 5 GHz channel spacing in the non-linear region. Furthermore, the concept of super passive optical network (S-PON) is also evaluated, which involves a repeater stage consisting of optical amplifiers, to study the feasibility for receiver side signal processing and simplification.

太赫兹波段折叠波导行波管的线性分析和计算

给出了太赫兹波段折叠波导行波管中考虑管壁欧姆损耗的带电子束扰动的色散方程。求解该方程可以得到器件中小信号增益的值。通过编制Matlab程序,分析计算了不同工作点、不同折叠波导结构参数和不同工作频段时小信号增益的变化特性。计算结果表明:适当选取工作点和结构参数,可以获得最佳增益值;考虑损耗后,除了前向增长的辐射场外,还会出现反向传输的静态波;随着工作频段向高频方向延伸,前向波的增益显著降低,而反向波强度则增大。因此,工作频率提高时,为了达到一定大小的增益,需要的折叠波导的周期数也相应增加。     

Linear and nonlinear intersubband optical absorption and refractive index changes of asymmetric double semi-parabolic quantum wells

The optical properties of the asymmetric double semi-parabolic quantum wells (DSPQWs) are investigated numerically for typical GaAs/Al_xGa_1−xAs. Optical properties are obtained using the compact density matrix approach. In this work, effects of the structure parameters such as the barrier width and the well widths on the optical properties of the asymmetric DSPQWs are investigated. The results show that the linear and nonlinear optical properties of asymmetric DSPQW are non-monotonic functions of these structure parameters. The behavior of the refractive index changes of asymmetric DSPQW with the variation of the barrier width is different substantially with that of symmetric DSPQW. Results reveal that the resonant peak values of the total absorption coefficient of asymmetric DSPQW is usually greater than that of symmetric DSPQW. Our calculations also show that the total absorption coefficient of asymmetric DSPQW is larger than that of asymmetric double square quantum well.

Novel red perovskite phosphor Ca2AlNbO6:Eu for white light-emitting diode application

Eu³⁺-doped perovskite phosphors of Ca₂AlNbO₆ were synthesized from a solid state reaction. A small amount of the Li₂CO₃ flux was found to greatly shorten calcination time and reduce reaction temperature. The structural and optical properties of the samples were systematically investigated. The excitation spectra of Ca₂AlNbO₆:Eu³⁺ reveal two excitation bands at 398 (⁷F₀→⁵L₆) and 466 nm (⁷F₀→⁵D₂), which match well with the two popular emissions from near-UV and blue LED chips. Under blue light excitation, the red emission of Ca₂AlNbO₆:0.05Eu³⁺ is twice more intense than that of (Y_0.95Eu_0.05)₂O₃. The chromaticity coordinates of (Ca_0.95Eu_0.05)₂AlNbO₆ (x=0.654, y=0.346) are close to the standard values (x=0.670, y=0.330) of National Television Standard Committee (NTSC). The optical properties suggest that Ca₂AlNbO₆:Eu³⁺ is an efficient red-emitting phosphor for light-emitting diode applications.
