One-way radio frequency dissemination through the atmosphere using two optical carriers.

چکیده
A method of transferring an RF reference frequency through the turbulent atmosphere is presented. Using two optical wavelengths close to each other can compensate for the influence of the atmospheric piston error. The influence of the atmosphere on the phase of the optical signal is calculated together with the remaining error by transferring two carriers. The system was implemented in a laboratory test-bed, and stability measurements are shown.

Enhanced Modulation and Noise Characteristics in 1.55 µm QD Lasers using Additional Optical Pumping
The modulation response, relative intensity noise (RIN) and frequency noise (FN) characteristics of quantum dot (QD) lasers are investigated theoretically in the presence of an external optical beam. Using small signal analysis of the rate equations for carriers and photons, it is demonstrated that by injecting excess carriers into the QDs excited state through optical pumping, the modulation r...

We demonstrate a cascaded optical link for ultrastable frequency dissemination comprised of two compensated links of 150 km and a repeater station. Each link includes 114 km of Internet fiber simultaneously carrying data traffic through a dense wavelength division multiplexing technology, and passes through two routing centers of the telecommunication network. The optical reference signal is in...

We propose and demonstrate a novel architecture for a programmable dispersion matrix (PDM) able to process two simultaneous independent RF beams with a resolution of 3 bits. The processor takes advantage of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) encoding. In our two-channel approach, four adjacent ITU optical WDM channels are used as optical carriers. The odd and even optical carriers are indep...

متن کاملSignal Optimization During Radio Links Between a Transmitter and a Receiver Located in Adjacent Material Media with Differing Optical Densities (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Signal optimization is affected during radio links between a transmitter and a receiver located in adjacent material media with differing optical densities. The optimization is carried out via the automated control theory method. The radio signal obtained after the optimization is coordinated with the two media's electrical characteristics simultaneously; and this enables low power and small an...
