A unidirectional scheme for high-fidelity optical-carrier dissemination using phase-modulation, homodyne coherent-detection, and frequency entrainment

We report for the first time an ultra-stable optical-carrier dissemination technique for transmission over a 20km unidirectional fibre link. The optical-linewidth of the recovered carrier matches closely that of the original carrier. © 2014 OSA.

112Gbit/s RF assisted dual-carrier DP-16-QAM in installed and new build WDM applications

The performance of a 112Gbit/s dual-carrier DP-16-QAM channel in various WDM configurations is characterized. Variations of the dispersion map, ROADM count and system length are experimentally evaluated and compared with numerical simulation. © 2012 OSA.

Solving Travelling Salesman Problem in a Simulation of Genetic Algorithms with DNA

In this paper it is explained how to solve a fully connected N-City travelling salesman problem (TSP) using a genetic algorithm. A crossover operator to use in the simulation of a genetic algorithm (GA) with DNA is presented. The aim of the paper is to follow the path of creating a new computational model based on DNA molecules and genetic operations. This paper solves the problem of exponentially size algorithms in DNA computing by using biological methods and techniques. After individual encoding and fitness evaluation, a protocol of the next step in a GA, crossover, is needed. This paper also shows how to make the GA faster via different populations of possible solutions.
