Space-Division Multiplexing for Microwave Photonics

Despite Space division multiplexing fibers were initially envisioned as pure transmission media, they exhibit as well great potential for signal processing. We review here different solutions we developed for microwave signal processing devices and links.Comment: 2019 24th OptoElectronics and Communications Conference (OECC) and 2019 International Conference on Photonics in Switching and Computing (PSC

Development of a dc-ac power conditioner for wind generator by using neural network

This project present of development single phase DC-AC converter for wind generator application. The mathematical model of the wind generator and Artificial Neural Network control for DC-AC converter is derived. The controller is designed to stabilize the output voltage of DC-AC converter. To verify the effectiveness of the proposal controller, both simulation and experimental are developed. The simulation and experimental result show that the amplitude of output voltage of the DC-AC converter can be controlled

Space-division multiplexing for fiber-wireless communications

We envision the application of optical Space-division Multiplexing (SDM) to the next generation fiber-wireless communications as a firm candidate to increase the end user capacity and provide adaptive radiofrequency-photonic interfaces. This approach relies on the concept of fiber-distributed signal processing, where the SDM fiber provides not only radio access distribution but also broadband microwave photonics signal processing. In particular, we present two different SDM fiber technologies: dispersion-engineered heterogeneous multicore fiber links and multicavity devices built upon the selective inscription of gratings in homogeneous multicore fibers.Comment: 4 pages, 20th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON), Girona (Spain), 2017. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1810.1213

Fiber-distributed Signal Processing: Where the Space Dimension Comes into Play

[EN] We implement "fiber-distributed signal processing" in the context of fiber-wireless communications by using different multicore fibers, providing both radio access distribution and microwave photonics signal processing in the same fiber medium.This research was supported by the ERC Consolidator Grant 724663, the Spanish Projects TEC2014-60378-C2-1-R, TEC2015-62520-ERC and TEC2016-80150-R, the Spanish scholarships MECD FPU13/04675 for J.
