We demonstrate an optical clock recovery circuit that extracts the line rate component on a per packet basis from short data packets at 40Gb/s. The circuit comprises a Fabry-Perot filter followed by a novel power limiting configuration, which in turn consists of a 5m highly nonlinear bismuth oxide fiber in cascade with an optical bandpass filter. Both experimental and simulation-based results a...

This paper presents noncoherent limiter-discriminator detection and differential detection of FQPSK (Feher quadrature phase-shift-keying) with maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) techniques. Noncoherent FQPSK systems are suitable for fast fading and cochannel interference channels and channels with strong phase noise, and they can offer faster synchronization and reduce outage events ...

A lecture on current limiter intended specifically for engineering students pursuing specialization with Electrical and Electronics engineering is proposed in this paper. The important information which doesn’t appear in text books are presented to the students. A general overview of different techniques of limiting fault current in electric power systems with special emphasis on two types of c...

A recent work of Li et al. [Numer. Math. Theor. Meth. Appl., Vol. 1, pp. 92-112(2008)] proposed a finite volume solver to solve 2D steady Euler equations. Although the Venkatakrishnan limiter is used to prevent the non-physical oscillations nearby the shock region, the overshoot or undershoot phenomenon can still be observed. Moreover, the numerical accuracy is degraded by using Venkatakrishnan...

The hierarchical reconstruction [11] is applied to discontinuous Galerkin method on the two-dimensional unstructured grids. We explore a variety of limiter functions used in the construction of piecewise linear polynomials. We show that due to the abrupt shift of stencils, the use of center biased limiter functions is essential in order to recover the desired order of accuracy. Furthermore, we ...

In this paper, we have compared the performance of a Turbo and Trellis coded optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) system. The comparison of the two codes has been accomplished by employing optical orthogonal codes (OOCs). The Bit Error Rate (BER) performances have been compared by varying the code weights of address codes employed by the system. We have considered the effects of optica...

a r t i c l e i n f o This paper presents a shock detection technique based on Moving Least Squares reproducing kernel approximations. The multiresolution properties of these kinds of approximations allow us to define a wavelet function to act as a smoothness indicator. This MLS sensor is used to detect the shock waves. When the MLS sensor is used in a finite volume framework in combination wit...

— In this work, we report scaling rules for the design of an all-fibered soliton-based power limiter for reamplification and reshaping (2R) regeneration process. In particular, we propose general guidelines to fix the optimum fiber length and initial power of the regenerator. We quantitatively point out the optical power limiting effect of the device enabling a significant reduction of the ampl...

The spectral and temporal evolution of distributed sensing based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in optical fibers for severalnanosecond Stokes pulses is demonstrated by using the method of lines (MOL) solution of the transient SBS equations. A superbee flux limiter is utilized to avoid numerical damping and dispersion that would otherwise be brought on by the approximation of spatial ...
