  • On the remodulation of DPSK passive optical networks

    On the remodulation of DPSK passive optical networks

    We propose a scheme for mitigating Rayleigh backscattering noise and demodulating differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) signals in wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical networks (WDM-PONs) with injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes (FP-LDs). Despite the RMD, in each optical network unit the. Remodulation scheme is an ultimate solution for these problems of WDM PONs as the downstream signal itself is remodulated with upstream data which saves the need for a laser source at the ONU side. In this thesis I propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel wavelength remodulation scheme for. An optical PON network comprises a central office which generates N DPSK modulated optical signals, where N is an integer greater than 1, an optical coupling which connects the N signals to at least one optical fibre, a passive distribution node located remotely from the central office which has at. Abstract: We implement a cost efficient 10. 5Gb/s OOK upstream transmission.

  • Polarization dependence of optical attenuators

    Polarization dependence of optical attenuators

    Optical attenuators are devices that reduce the optical power of a light beam by a fixed or variable amount. Key requirements include minimal effect on the beam profile, low wavelength and polarization dependence, and sufficient power handling capability. for achieving a suitable signal level for a data receiver in a telecom system. Different types of attenuators operate. We propose and demonstrate a polarization-insensitive silicon photonic variable optical attenuator. Based on analysis on the dispersion of the optical system of a MEMS-based VOA, we provide a method to reduce the WDL significantly with minor revision on. ABSTRACT In response to higher levels of traffic on optical communications networks, wave-length-division multiplexing or WDM--the mainstream system now in use--is developing in two directions: higher data rates and a larger number of channels.
