A spectrally efficient transmission scheme for signals with large bandwidth
In this paper we consider single-carrier with
frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE) schemes where the
transmission bandwidth is above the symbol rate. To allow high
spectral efficiencies, several channels share the same bandwidth.
Since the co-channel interference (CCI) levels can be very high,
we propose iterative FDE receivers where we jointly detect all
users sharing the same channel. Our performance results show
that we can have excellent performances, even with several
users sharing the same channel. In fact, we can have the
maximum theoretical spectral efficiency even with signals that
have bandwidth substantially above the symbol rate
Enhanced nonlinear imaging through scattering media using transmission matrix based wavefront shaping
Despite the tremendous progresses in wavefront control through or inside
complex scattering media, several limitations prevent reaching practical
feasibility for nonlinear imaging in biological tissues. While the optimization
of nonlinear signals might suffer from low signal to noise conditions and from
possible artifacts at large penetration depths, it has nevertheless been
largely used in the multiple scattering regime since it provides a guide star
mechanism as well as an intrinsic compensation for spatiotemporal distortions.
Here, we demonstrate the benefit of Transmission Matrix (TM) based approaches
under broadband illumination conditions, to perform nonlinear imaging. Using
ultrashort pulse illumination with spectral bandwidth comparable but still
lower than the spectral width of the scattering medium, we show strong
nonlinear enhancements of several orders of magnitude, through thicknesses of a
few transport mean free paths, which corresponds to millimeters in biological
tissues. Linear TM refocusing is moreover compatible with fast scanning
nonlinear imaging and potentially with acoustic based methods, which paves the
way for nonlinear microscopy deep inside scattering media
A survey on OFDM-based elastic core optical networking
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a modulation technology that has been widely adopted in many new and emerging broadband wireless and wireline communication systems. Due to its capability to transmit a high-speed data stream using multiple spectral-overlapped lower-speed subcarriers, OFDM technology offers superior advantages of high spectrum efficiency, robustness against inter-carrier and inter-symbol interference, adaptability to server channel conditions, etc. In recent years, there have been intensive studies on optical OFDM (O-OFDM) transmission technologies, and it is considered a promising technology for future ultra-high-speed optical transmission. Based on O-OFDM technology, a novel elastic optical network architecture with immense flexibility and scalability in spectrum allocation and data rate accommodation could be built to support diverse services and the rapid growth of Internet traffic in the future. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on OFDM-based elastic optical network technologies, including basic principles of OFDM, O-OFDM technologies, the architectures of OFDM-based elastic core optical networks, and related key enabling technologies. The main advantages and issues of OFDM-based elastic core optical networks that are under research are also discussed
Design and simulation of 1.28 Tbps dense wavelength division multiplex system suitable for long haul backbone
Wavelength division multiplex (WDM) system with on / off keying (OOK)
modulation and direct detection (DD) is generally simple to implement, less
expensive and energy efficient. The determination of the possible design
capacity limit, in terms of the bit rate-distance product in WDM-OOK-DD systems
is therefore crucial, considering transmitter / receiver simplicity, as well as
energy and cost efficiency. A 32-channel wavelength division multiplex system
is designed and simulated over 1000 km fiber length using Optsim commercial
simulation software. The standard channel spacing of 0.4 nm was used in the
C-band range from 1.5436-1.556 nm. Each channel used the simple non return to
zero - on / off keying (NRZ-OOK) modulation format to modulate a continuous
wave (CW) laser source at 40 Gbps using an external modulator, while the
receiver uses a DD scheme. It is proposed that the design will be suitable for
long haul mobile backbone in a national network, since up to 1.28 Tbps data
rates can be transmitted over 1000 km. A bit rate-length product of 1.28
Pbps.km was obtained as the optimum capacity limit in 32 channel dispersion
managed WDM-OOK-DD system.Comment: Accepted for publication in Journal of Optical Communications - De

Experimental Demonstration of Staggered CAP Modulation for Low Bandwidth Red-Emitting Polymer-LED based Visible Light Communications
In this paper we experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, staggered
carrier-less amplitude and phase (sCAP) modulation for visible light
communication systems based on polymer light-emitting diodes emitting at ~639
nm. The key advantage offered by sCAP in comparison to conventional multiband
CAP is its full use of the available spectrum. In this work, we compare sCAP,
which utilises four orthogonal filters to generate the signal, with a
conventional 4-band multi-CAP system and on-off keying (OOK). We transmit each
modulation format with equal energy and present a record un-coded transmission
speed of ~6 Mb/s. This represents gains of 25% and 65% over the achievable rate
using 4-CAP and OOK, respectively.Comment: 6 pages, 9 figures, IEEE ICC 2019 conferenc
