We have generated a single-wavelength data signal with a data capacity of 5.1 Tbit/s. The enabling techniques to generate the data signal are optical time-division multiplexing up to a symbol rate of 1.28 Tbaud, differential quadrature phase shift keying as data format, and polarisation-multiplexing. For the first time, error-free performance with a bit error rate less than 10(-9) is demonstrat...

In this paper, linearisation of transmitter and receiver nonlinearities of an optical Intensity Modulation/Direct Detection system using digital signal processing is presented and analysed. The system performance is estimated on basis of the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio. Furthermore, the bit error performance of a linearised system is compared to a non-linearised one.

I propose to use as a window the dark core of an optical vortex to examine a weak background signal hidden in the glare of a bright coherent source. Applications such as the detection of an astronomical object, forward-scattered radiation, and incoherent light are described whereby signal enhancements of at least 7 orders of magnitude may be achieved.

We demonstrate efficient generation of collinearly propagating, highly nondegenerate photon pairs in a periodically poled lithium niobate cw parametric downconverter with an inferred pair generation rate of 1.4 3 107 s mW of pump power. Detection of an 800-nm signal photon triggers a thermoelectrically cooled 20%efficient InGaAs avalanche photodiode for the detection of the 1600-nm conjugate id...

background and objective: vep is a powerful method to study visual system via evaluating evoked potentials. technologic and instrumental restrictions may be the reason of having studies on optical modulation and induction such as color, spatial frequency and contrast. developments of computer software and hardware may lead to an increase in the flexibility of pattern designs. material and meth...

Recently, blind multi-user detection has become an important topic in code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) signals are well-known due to their low probability of detection, and secure communication. In this article, the problem of blind multi-user detection is studied in variable processing gain direct-sequence code division multiple access (VPG D...

"Signal-on" optical detection of parts-per-billion (ppb) levels of Fe(II) in CH(2)Cl(2) and H(2)O was demonstrated using a redox-active and optically rich metal complex-based monolayer.

A lateral flow biosensor for detection of single nucleotide polymorphism based on circular strand displacement reaction (CSDPR) has been developed. Taking advantage of high fidelity of T4 DNA ligase, signal amplification by CSDPR, and the optical properties of gold nanoparticles, this assay has reached a detection limit of 0.01 fM.
