Comprehensive statistical investigation of SCM-based transmission over 300 m of FDDI-grade multimode fiber

Rigorous statistical analysis is applied for the first time to identify optimal launch conditions and carrier frequencies for SCM transmission over worst-case MMF. The feasibility of multichannel schemes for 10 Gb/s over 300 m is demonstrated. © 2005 Optical Society of America.

A novel scalable photonic analog switch architecture based on semiconductor optical amplifiers

We propose a novel semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) based switch architecture for analog applications. Proof-of-principle experiments show that the system is very linear with an SFDR of approximately 100dB·Hz 2/3 for a switching time of 50μs. The port number of this switch is scalable and can be expanded to 80 × 80.

Q-switched modelocking using carbon nanotubes in an ultrafast laser inscribed ytterbium doped bismuthate glass waveguide laser

Passive modelocking using carbon nanotubes is achieved in a linear cavity waveguide laser realized by ultrafast laser inscription in ytterbium doped bismuthate glass. The pulses observed under a Q-switched envelope have a repetition rate of 1.5 GHz. © 2012 OSA.

Bismuth-doped fiber integrated ring laser mode-locked with a nanotube-based saturable absorber

We demonstrate passive mode-locking of a bismuth-doped fiber laser using a singlewall nanotube-based saturable absorber. Stable operation in the all-normal dispersion and average soliton regime is obtained, with an all-fiber integrated format. © 2010 Optical Society of America.
