Microring-based optical pulse-train generator.
This paper presents a new photonic integrated circuit, namely optical pulse-train generator, which is developed based on the transfer matrix analysis of microrings and utilizes a time-interleaved architecture. This circuit can generate multiple optical pulses sequentially from a single trigger pulse, with the timing and amplitude of each pulse determined by circuit design. Hence it can be appli...
متن کاملAll-optical extinction-ratio enhancement of a 160 GHz pulse train by a saturable-absorber vertical microcavity.
A vertical-access passive all-optical gate has been used to improve the extinction ratio of a 160 GHz pico-second pulse train at 1555 nm. An extinction ratio enhancement of 6 dB is observed within an 8 nm bandwidth. Such a device is a promising candidate for low-cost all optical reamplication and reshaping (2R) regeneration at 160 Gbits/s.
متن کاملSelf-stabilizing Byzantine Pulse and Clock Synchronization
This thesis presents a scheme that achieves self-stabilizing Byzantine digital clock synchronization assuming a “synchronous” system. This synchronous system is established by the assumption of a common external “beat” delivered with a regularity in the order of the network message delay, thus enabling the nodes to execute in lock-step. The system can be subjected to severe transient failures w...
متن کاملSOA-Based Optical Packet Switching Architectures
The service evolution and the rapid increase in traffic levels fuel the interest toward switching paradigms enabling the fast allocation of Wavelength Division Multiplexing WDM channels in an on demand fashion with fine granularities (microsecond scales). For this reason, in the last years, different optical switching paradigms have been proposed (Sabella et al., 2000): optical-packet switching...
متن کاملConcentration effect of carbon nanotube based saturable absorber on stabilizing and shortening mode-locked pulse.
We comprehensively investigated the concentration effect of dispersed single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in polymer films for being a saturable absorber (SA) to stabilize the mode locking performance of the erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) pulse through the diagnosis of its nonlinear properties of SA. The measured modulation depth was from 1 to 4.5% as the thickness increased 18 to 265 micr...
