Signal bandwidth of general N x N multimode interference couplers

Analytical expression of signal bandwidth of general straight and tapered N x N multimode interference (MMI) couplers is presented. The signal bandwidth is characterized as a function of mode relative energy, mode propagation delay time, and mode pulse broadening in the multimode section of MMI coupler. The model is used to evaluate the signal bandwidth of specific couplers. Results indicate that the signal bandwidth decreases seriously with the increase of channel number and channel guide space. Compared with the straight MMI coupler, the tapered MMI coupler has an improved signal bandwidth.

Wavelet denoising and feature extraction of seismic signal for footstep detection

Seismic sensors are widely used to detect moving target in ground sensor networks. Footstep detection is very important for security surveillance and other applications. Because of non-stationary characteristic of seismic signal and complex environment conditions, footstep detection is a very challenging problem. A novel wavelet denoising method based on singular value decomposition is used to solve these problems. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of raw footstep signal is greatly improved using this strategy. The feature extraction method is also discussed after denosing procedure. Comparing, with kurtosis statistic feature, the wavelet energy feature is more promising for seismic footstep detection, especially in a long distance surveillance.

Subtraction of S-parameters for adiabatic small-signal modulation characteristics of laser diode - art. no. 60201V

An extended subtraction method of scattering parameters for characterizing laser diode is introduced in this paper. The intrinsic small-signal response can be directly extracted from the measured transmission coefficients of laser diode by the method. However the chip temperature may change with the injection bias current due to thermal effects, which causes inaccurate intrinsic response by our method. Therefore, how to determine the chip temperature and keep the laser chip adiabatic is very critical when extracting the intrinsic response. To tackle these problems, the dependence of the lasing wavelength of the laser diode on the chip temperature is investigated, and an applicable measurement setup which keeps the chip temperature stable is presented. The scattering parameters of laser diode are measured on diabatic and adiabatic conditions, and the extracted intrinsic responses for both conditions are compared. It is found that the adiabatic intrinsic responses are evidently superior to those without thermal consideration. The analysis indicates that inclusion of thermal effects is necessary to acquire accurate intrinsic response.

Initial study on removing the effects of test fixture on large-signal performances of optoelectronic devices at high data rate is also given.

measuring acoustic wave transit time in furnace based on active acoustic source signal

Accurate measurement of transit time for acoustic wave between two sensors installed on two sides of a furnace is a key to implementing the temperature field measurement technique based on acoustical method. A new method for measuring transit time of acoustic wave based on active acoustic source signal is proposed in this paper, which includes the followings: the time when the acoustic source signal arrives at the two sensors is measured first; then, the difference of two arriving time arguments is computed, thereby we get the transit time of the acoustic wave between two sensors installed on the two sides of the furnace. Avoiding the restriction on acoustic source signal and background noise, the new method can get the transit time of acoustic wave with higher precision and stronger ability of resisting noise interference.

Optimization of Global Signal Networks for Island-Style FPGAs

We present a staggered buffer connection method that provides flexibility for buffer insertion while designing global signal networks using the tile-based FPGA design methodology. An exhaustive algorithm is used to analyze the trade-off between area and speed of the global signal networks for this staggered buffer insertion scheme, and the criterion for determining the design parameters is presented. The comparative analytic result shows that the methods in this paper are proven to be more efficient for FPGAs with a large array size.
