A simple and low-power optical limiter for multi-GHz pulse trains.
We study the limiting-amplification capability of a saturated Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) followed by an optical band-pass filter. We experimentally demonstrate that this simple optical circuit can be effectively exploited to realize a low-power optical limiter for amplitude-modulated pulse trains at multi-GHz repetition rate. We report very large amplitude-modulation-reduction factor...
متن کاملA Broadband Low Power CMOS LNA for 3.1–10.6 GHz UWB Receivers
A new approach for designing an ultra wideband (UWB) CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) is presented. The aim of this design is to achieve a low noise figure, reasonable power gain and low power consumption in 3.1-10.6 GHz. Also, the figure of merit (FOM) is significantly improved at 180nm technology compared to the other state-of-the-art designs. Improved π-network and T-network are used to obt...
متن کاملTheoretical spectrum of noisy optical pulse trains.
The intensity of an ideal optical pulse train is often modeled as an exact periodic repetition of a given pulse-shape function with constant amplitude and width. Therefore, the ideal intensity power spectrum is a pure line power spectrum. However, spontaneous-emission noise due to amplification media, electronic noise due to modulators, or even intentional modulations result in period-to-period...
متن کاملNonlinear-optical Christiansen filter as an optical power limiter.
We have constructed an optical power limiter based on nonlinear induced scattering in a cell containing crushed glass and a mixture of acetone and carbon disulfide. For 30-ps-long laser pulses the transmitted energy saturates at a value of 6 microJ. We also present the results of a theoretical modeling study that shows how the operating characteristics of such a device can be optimized.
