Orthogonal multipulse modulation for 64 Gigabit Fibre Channel

Real-time orthogonal multipulse modulation is demonstrated at 56 Gb/s with transmission over 500 m of single-mode fiber. Up to 2 dBo power budget advantage is predicted relative to alternatives such as PAM4. © 2013 OSA.

Transmission of simultaneous 10Gb/s Ethernet and radio-over-fibre transmission using in-band coding

A technique using spectrum-shaping codes to create nulls in the baseband spectrum of an Ethernet signal, so that several RF signals can be inserted in-band, is demonstrated by simultaneous transmission of 10GbE and WCDMA signals. © 2013 OSA.

100 Gigabit Ethernet transmission enabled by carrierless amplitude and phase modulation using QAM receivers

Simulations have investigated single laser 100G Ethernet links enabled by CAP-16 using QAM receivers that not only lower significantly system timing jitter sensitivity but also outperform PAM and standard CAP in terms of power margin. © 2013 OSA.

Transient crosstalk in LCOS based WSS and a method to suppress the crosstalk levels

The origin of the transient crosstalk (TC) in a phase-only LCOS based WSS using a Fourier transform setup was investigated and identified. Two methods were proposed to reduce the TC by at least 5dB without the need to modify the optics or electronics in use. © 2013 OSA.

Aberration correction in spatial light modulator based mode multiplexers

The Spatial Light Modulator in a mode demultiplexer is used to measure the aberrations of the system in which it is installed before applying aberration correction to improve the insertion loss and modal extinction ratios. © 2013 OSA.

On chip plasmonic enhanced silicon Schottky detector for telecom wavelengths

We demonstrate an integrated on-chip plasmonic enhanced Schottky detector for telecom wavelengths based on the internal photoemission process. This CMOS compatible device may serve as a promising alternative to the Si-Ge detectors. © 2012 OSA.

Plasmonic nanotips for on-chip nanoscale confinement of light

We demonstrate the on-chip nanoscale focusing of surface plasmons in metallic nanotip coupled to the silicon waveguide. Strong field enhancement is observed at the apex of the tip. Enhancing light matter interactions is discussed. © 2012 OSA.
