Suppercontinuum Generation in InP Nano Inner Cladding Fibers

The InP nano inner cladding fiber is fabricated by the method of modified chemical vapor deposition. The thickness of the InP nano thin film is about 16 nm. A 20 dB supercontinuum over 100nm in the telecommunication band is generated by infecting 1550nm, 120fs, 50MHz repetition rate optical pulse into this kind of fiber. Moreover, the results indicate that the width of the supercontinuum spectra can be influenced by the fiber length and pump power. The longer fiber at higher pump power can produce broader supercontinuum spectrum.     

超高速相干光通信两步步长优化CMA算法

在超高速相干光通信中，对偏振解复用损伤和偏振模色散的补偿一般采用恒模算法(constant modulus algorithm, CMA)。标准的CMA算法具有自适应动态均衡的功能，加权信号根据输入信号进行不断更新，是一种目前流行的盲均衡算法。通常在CMA算法中，步长系数的取值严重影响着算法收敛、误差矢量幅度(error vector magnitude, EVM)和误码率(bit error ratio, BER)性能评价。提出了一种优化的CMA算法，具有两步步长系数，可标记误差矢量函数曲线稳定时的区间。经过计算验证表明，优化的CMA算法具有不同程度的解调性能改善，能够降低X、Y偏振态的EVM，具备较好的应用性。
