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.     

螺旋波导压缩频率调制脉冲的初步研究

利用螺旋波导对频率调制脉冲进行压缩可大幅度提高脉冲峰值功率。利用所编Matlab程序对螺旋波导的色散特性进行了计算和分析,获得了波纹幅度和纵向周期长度等结构参数对其色散特性的影响规律;给出了脉冲功率压缩比的计算公式,对不同脉宽和频带宽度、不同频率调制形式的微波脉冲通过螺旋波导后的功率压缩比进行了计算和分析。计算表明:脉冲的频率调制形式对功率压缩比影响较大;相同频率调制形式下,脉冲长度越长,工作频带越宽,功率压缩比越高。为了获得尽可能高的功率压缩比,需对脉冲的频率变化方式进行调节,使其与螺旋波导色散特性匹配。同时还需要在高的功率压缩比和高的压缩效率之间做出权衡。计算得到,当注入脉冲的脉宽为40ns、工作频带为8.8~9.5GHz、频率调制形式与螺旋波导色散特性匹配时,功率压缩比达到了15,压缩效率约为40%。     

基于单目图像和方向的测距系统及性能分析

 针对非合作大目标的被动测距问题,介绍了一种基于单目图像序列和成像方向的测距系统,并进行了性能分析.这种测距系统的特点是无需初始距离导引,它对目标距离的估计借助于专门的定位方程,方程由目标特征线度、摄像机的空间坐标、目标在采样时刻对相机的方位角和俯仰角决定.其中,方位角和俯仰角通过光电经纬仪获得,摄像机的空间坐标通过GPS获得,目标特征线度通过相邻帧图像匹配得到.分析表明,该系统的性能主要取决于特征线度的准确度,其他测量误差如目标的方位角、俯仰角和摄像机的空间坐标对其影响较小.目标特征线度选取时,在相邻帧目标图像匹配点中,筛选出三个具有较大极限的尺度不变特征变换关键点,构造三角形及其外接圆,在外接圆上取经过三角形重心且平行或垂直于尺度不变特征变换主方向的弦线作为特征线度,这种特征线度对目标旋转不敏感.实验结果表明这种测距方法能够实现对非合作大目标的被动测距.     

Optical Single-Sideband Modulators and Their Applications

We review our recent work in the implementation of optical single-sideband (OSSB) modulation and in the application of this modulation format to microwave photonics and optical testing systems. We have developed an enhanced OSSB modulator for wide-band operation, the so-called bidirectional OSSB modulator, and a simplification of this scheme for narrow-band applications. These OSSB modulators are based on the use of a standard single-electrode Mach-Zehnder electro-optic modulator (MZ-EOM) and passive fiber-optic components. In both designs, the OSSB operation is shown to be independent of the MZ-EOM bias. Therefore, the optical modulation depth at the output of the device can be enhanced using minimum transmission biasing to provide suppression of the optical carrier. Finally, we demonstrate the application of OSSB modulators to the improvement of microwave/millimeter-wave subcarrier multiplexing fiber-optic links and to narrow-band fiber radio systems. In addition, we analyzed the feasibility and the limitations of an optical vector network analysis technique based on OSSB modulation that can provide sub-picometer wavelength resolution.     

Optical power equalization for upstream traffic with injection-locked Fabry-Perot lasers in TDM-PON

An optical power equalization of upstream traffic in time-division-multiplexed passive optical network (TDM-PON) based on injection-locked Fabry-Perot lasers has been experimentally investigated. The upstream transmitters with stable spectrum are achieved by using an external injection light source in the optical line terminal (OLT). The different upstream powers can be equalized by injection locking a Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD) biased below threshold current in OLT. The dynamic upstream power range from − 8.5 to − 19.5 db m is reduced to a 1.6 dB maximal power variation, when the uplink signal is directly modulated at 1.25 Gb/s.     

Optimization of extinction efficiency of gold‐coated polystyrene bead substrates improves surface‐enhanced Raman scattering effects by post‐growth microwave heating treatment

We report a novel post‐growth microwave treatment approach to selectively modify the surface morphologies of gold (Au) films coated on the polystyrene (PS) bead substrates for effectively improving the surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect on the analytes. The discrete dipole approximation (DDA) model was introduced to evaluate the enhancement effects by calculating the localized electromagnetic field distribution and extinction efficiency based on the sizes of the trenches and voids, and the surface roughness of the modified Au–PS bead substrates. The SERS performance of microwave‐modified Au–PS substrates on rhodamine 6G (Rh 6G) and saliva yields at least 10‐fold improvements in SERS intensities compared to the as‐grown substrates, which is also in agreement with theoretical predictions by DDA modeling. This work demonstrates both experimentally and theoretically the efficacy of the microwave heating treatment on modifying the Au–PS bead substrates for the realization of high SERS performance in biomedical applications.

Rotational spectra, nuclear quadrupole hyperfine tensors, and conformational structures of the mustard gas simulent 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide

Rotational spectra have been recorded for both the ³⁵Cl and ³⁷Cl isotopic forms of two structural conformations of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES). The rotational constants of the ³⁵Cl and ³⁷Cl isotopomers were used to identify the conformational isomers. A total of 236 hyperfine transitions have been assigned for 47 rotational transitions of the ³⁵Cl isotope of a GGT conformer, and 146 hyperfine have been assigned for 37 rotational transitions of the ³⁷Cl isotopomer. For the second conformer, a total of 128 (110) hyperfine and 30 (28) rotational transitions have also been assigned to the ³⁵Cl (³⁷Cl) isotopes of a TGT conformation. The extensive hyperfine splitting data, measured to high resolution with a compact Fourier transform microwave spectrometer, were used to determine both the diagonal and off-diagonal elements of the ³⁵Cl and ³⁷Cl nuclear quadrupole coupling tensors in the inertial tensor principal axis system. The experimental rotational constant data, as well as the ³⁵Cl and ³⁷Cl nuclear quadrupole coupling tensors, were compared to the results from 27 optimized ab initio (HF/6-311++G^∗∗ and MP2/6-311++G^∗∗) model structures.     

Coherent underwater communication using passive time reversal over multipath channels

Passive time reversal exploits underwater acoustic channels’ spatial and temporal diversity. It can refocus multipath propagated signal at the receiver and can be realized simply by the passive phase conjugation (PPC) method. By the temporal focusing, time delay spread caused by multipath propagation is mitigated for spectral efficient coherent communications. However, the PPC method is unable to eliminate multipath and is limited by channel variations. An adaptive equalizer is therefore needed to compensate residual multipath after refocusing and to track channel temporal variations. Spatial diversity is obtained by using a vertical receiving array. In this paper we used 4-hydrophone array and demonstrated that the adaptive decision feedback equalization in conjunction with PPC significantly decreased the bit error rate.
