We report on a tunable all-fiber dissipative-soliton laser with a multimode interference filter that consists of a multimode fiber spliced between two single-mode fibers. By carefully selecting the fiber parameters, a filter with a central wavelength at 1032 nm and a bandwidth of 7.6 nm is constructed and used for spectral filtering in an all-normal-dispersion mode-locked ytterbium-doped fiber ...

A multimode uncertainty relation (generalizing the Robertson-Schrödinger relation) is derived as a necessary constraint on the second moments of n pairs of canonical operators. In turn, necessary conditions for the separability of multimode continuous variable states under (m+n)-mode bipartitions are derived from the uncertainty relation. These conditions are proven to be necessary and sufficie...

A novel mode analysis method and differential mode delay (DMD) measurement technique for a multimode optical fiber based on optical frequency domain reflectometry has been proposed for the first time. We have used a conventional OFDR with a tunable external cavity laser and a Michelson interferometer. A few-mode optical multimode fiber was prepared to test our proposed measurement technique. We...

We propose composite solitons carrying topological charge: multicomponent two dimensional [ (2+1)D] vector (Manakov-like) solitons for which at least one component carries topological charge. These multimode solitons can have a single hump or exhibit a multihump structure. The "spin" carried by these multimode composite solitons suggests 3D soliton interactions in which the particlelike behavio...

We show that inducing sidebands in the emission of a single emitter into a one-dimensional waveguide, together with a dissipative repumping process, a photon field is cooled down to a multimode squeezed vacuum. Our method does not require being in the strong coupling regime, works with a continuum of propagating field modes, and leads to sources of tunable multimode squeezed light in circuit-QE...

Large cross section multimode waveguides have been realized in SU-8 using selective polymerization. SU-8 is a negative photoresist, which has shown good optical properties and it is mechanically and chemically stable. The fabricated waveguides have very smooth sidewalls and exhibit low optical losses. The fabrication method is simple and potentially very cost effective. N x N and 1 x N multimod...

An optimal design for an extra-low loss buried waveguide Y-branch splitter is presented over a broadband wavelength range from 1500~1600 nm. A tapered multimode waveguide section, earlier used to reduce the excess loss, is optimized when the light distribution at the end of the multimode waveguide section is matched to the profile of the symmetric supermode for the structure of the two branchin...

This article presents analysis of the design and simulation of a new class of environmentally aware clustering algorithms for wireless ad hoc networks. The clustering algorithm establishes an adap-tive self-organizing arrangement that enables multimode routing strategies. Multimode operation is needed to enhance scalability and robustness. In the present case, clustering is based on a criterion...

We investigate joint source-channel coding for transmission of video over time-varying channels. We assume that the channel state is known at the receiver, but only statistical description of the time varying nature of the channel is available at the transmitter. A multimode coder is proposed to e ciently quantize the input video, and generate a quasi xed-length bit stream of unequal importance...

This paper derives some optimum transmit and receive antenna coefficients in wireless multipath channels based on the spherical vector wave multimode expansion of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel matrix. The derived antenna coefficients satisfy the following specific optimization criteria: (i) maximum MIMO mean effective link gain (link MEG) based on the multimode channel reali...
