Improving the intensity and efficiency of compressed echo in rare-earth-ion-doped crystal

We investigate the intensity and efficiency of a compressed echo, which is important in arbitrary waveform generation(AWG). A new model of compressed echo is proposed based on the optical Bloch equations, which exposes much more detailed parameters than the conventional model, such as the time delay of the chirp lasers, the nature of the rare-earth-iondoped crystal, etc. According to the novel model of compressed echo, we find that reducing the time delay of the chirp lasers and scanning the lasers around the center frequency of the inhomogeneously broadened spectrum, while utilizing a crystal with larger coherence time and excitation lifetime can improve the compressed echo's intensity and efficiency. The theoretical analysis is validated by numerical simulations.     

基于分布式压缩感知的改进SOMP信道估计算法

针对多径信道联合稀疏模型,基于分布式压缩感知理论提出了一种适用于正交频分复用（Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM）通信系统的改进同时正交匹配追踪（Simultaneous Orthogonal Matching Pursuit,SOMP）信道估计算法。该算法首先联合多个符号利用比较残差和的方式,在每次迭代中估计各符号信道响应公共支撑集与相应元素直到公共支撑集估计结束,然后对各符号信道响应非公共支撑集单独进行估计,最终得到多个符号的信道响应估计值。仿真结果表明,改进的SOMP算法在JSM-2模型下性能与传统的SOMP算法相近,在JSM-1模型下性能优于传统的SOMP算法与OMP算法。     

Analytic solutions of Bloch equations with phase term for two-pulse photon echo by the phase modulation pulses

In this paper, a method is proposed to obtain the analytical solutions of Bloch equations with phase term by using the elementary matrix transform. The effect of the initial phase on the components of Bloch vector is discussed. The result shows that by considering the initial phase of the input pulse, the amplitudes of the in-phase component and the in-quadrature component can be dynamically controlled, meanwhile the population inversion is almost immune to the initial phase. Additionally, the signal electric field expressions of the phase effect of two-pulse photon echo(2 PE) is derived, which is also modulated by the initial phase.     

Joint estimation and compensation of transceiver IQ imbalance for PDM CO-OFDM system

In this paper, a frequency-domain mathematical model is deduced for polarization-division multiplexing(PDM) coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(CO-OFDM) system with transceiver in-phase and quadrature(IQ) imbalances. A novel training symbol structure is designed in which the mirror-subcarriers of pilot subcarriers were modulated with zero signal so that the channel distortion with transceiver IQ imbalances can be estimated. It proves that the channel distortion and transmitter IQ imbalances cannot be separated using the training symbols;therefore, the channel equalization method was used to recover the signals. Simulation results show that at 2 dB transmitter amplitude imbalances, 15° transmitter phase imbalances, 100 Gbit/s transmission rate, 1 040 km standard signal-mode fiber link, and 1×10^-3 bit error rate, 23.5 dB optical signal-to-noise ratio(OSNR) is necessary for the proposed method. However, the compared schemes cannot achieve effective transmission.
