Abstract:

The recent prediction of the edge modification by a magnetic impurity spin to create half-metallicity in a graphene sheet is demonstrated. Ultrafine Mn 3 O 4 sheets of size 10 nm are grown on graphene to observe the remarkable effect of half-metallicity with a 90% change in magnetoresistance at room temperature. The demonstration of a huge negative magnetoresistance using a magnetic impurity spin will make graphene a potential candidate for spintronic devices...

DOI: 10.1109/jlt.2013.2252326

Abstract:

The paper presents a novel inherent polarization sensitivity technique using SOA to perform cross polarization modulation. The wavelength conversion takes place due to nonlinear rotation in state of polarization at the output of the SOA. Nonlinear polarization rotation is enhanced by optimizing the various parameters of SOA. The conversion is achieved with wavelength separation of 1 nm for up and down conversion with non-return to zero input signals at bit rate of 10 Gb/s. It is predicted that conversion efficiency becomes almost same...

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a new optical switch architecture for optical WDM networks. Flexibility and efficiency in terms of controlling and utilizing optical power are key features of the architecture. The architecture uses switching components which have increased flexibility of how optical power received on an input port is managed when switching optical signals. Like the traditional optical switches, optical power can be directed towards one output port only. Further, unlike the traditional switches, on need basis, the power can be...

A tunable optical delayer based on SBS slow light of ring configuration

Published 2012

Dong Yongkang Professor of Harbin Institute of Technology

DOI: 10.1007/s00340-012-5208-1

Abstract:

A hybrid optical fiber delayer based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) slow light is proposed for dual-channel systems. It features two rings as delay lines, where one is an active ring with a Brillouin amplifier and the other is a passive ring. It combines SBS slow light delay with linear transmission delay, which extends the delay range in a great amount. A maximum SBS slow light delay of 468 ns and the capability for tunable delay of over 10 Āµs for pulses of nanoseconds are demonstrated...

Using fusion splicing, the loss in the passive ring is mainly introduced by the switch. Taking an ultra-fast 2 x 2 switch of NS series (Agiltron Company) for example, the typical insertion loss is 0.6 dB for single pass...

Abstract:

A compact two-gas sensor based on quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) was developed for trace methane and ammonia quantification in impure hydrogen. The sensor is equipped with a micro-resonator to confine the sound wave and enhance QEPAS signal. The normalized noise-equivalent absorption coefficients (1 Ļƒ) of 2.45Ɨ 10āˆ’ 8 cmāˆ’ 1 W/Hz and 9.1Ɨ 10āˆ’ 9 cmāˆ’ 1 W/Hz for CH 4 detection at 200 Torr and NH 3 detection at 50 Torr were demonstrated with the QEPAS sensor configuration, respectively. The influence of...

Abstract:

Reconfigurable optical filters are of great importance for applications in optical communication and information processing. Of particular interest are tuning techniques that take advantage of mechanical deformation of the devices, as they offer wider tuning range. Here we demonstrate reconfiguration of coupled photonic crystal nanobeam cavities by using optical gradient force induced mechanical actuation. Propagating waveguide modes that exist over a wide wavelength range are used to actuate the structures and control the...

A virtual-tree OFDMA PON system architecture

Published 2012

DOI: 10.1109/icc.2012.6363944

Abstract:

OFDM PON has been considered to be one of the most prominent next-generation broadband wired access solutions. However, based on the current tree-architecture, existing OFDM PON systems face severe challenges when increasing the scalability and data-rate performance. In this paper, we propose a novel virtual-tree architecture of an OFDMA PON system (VTOPS). Coupled with the use of inexpensive direct modulation, VTOPS simultaneously achieves high reliability, scalability, and spectrum efficiency (ie, high data...
