Spectrally modulated Airy-based pulses peak amplitude modulation (PAM) in linear dispersive media is investigated, designed, and numerically simulated. As it is shown here, it is possible to design the spectral modulation of the initial Airy-based pulses to obtain a pre-defined PAM profile as the pulse propagates. Although optical pulses self-amplitude modulation is a well-known effect under no...

A combined modulation scheme for optical label switching using DPSK/In-bandSCM has been studied. We present simulations results for the performance of a system with payload data in DPSK modulation at 10 Gb/s and the label modulated on a subcarrier frequency SCM at bitrate of 155 Mb/s. Higher bit rates for the label signal have also been considered and its impact on the payload signal detection ...

Experiments for space and ground-based gravitational wave detectors often require a large dynamic range interferometric position readout of test masses with 1 pm/√Hz precision over long time scales. Heterodyne interferometer schemes that achieve such precisions are available, but they require complex optical set-ups, limiting their scalability for multiple channels. This article presents the fi...
