The potential applications of optical resonant filters for optical communication systems can be significant. Three approaches to achieve a close-to-rectangle filtering profile for optical resonant filter were investigated and proven experimentally. The combination of the filtering sharpness, which comes from the resonance nature, and a flattened filtering window realized the close-to-rectangle ...

Atmospheric turbulence can cause a significant performance degradation in free space optical communication systems. An efficient solution could be to exploit the temporal diversity to improve the performance of the transmission link. Depending on the tolerable delay latency, we can benefit from some degree of time diversity that we can exploit by employing channel coding and interleaving. In th...

− We demonstrate an ultra-stable visible laser source that can be generated from injection locked infrared DFB based on optical comb. The optical comb was used as injection source and locked to an acetylene stabilization laser as a reference source of optical communication region. The DFB laser was selectively injection locked from only one among the comb mode with 25 GHz spacing. The ultra-sta...

The interplay between the stochastic intensity fluctuation of Raman pump laser and cross-phase modulation (XPM) effect in transmission optical fiber leads to additional phase noise, namely, relative phase noise (RPN) of signal in multi-level modulated coherent optical communication system. Both theoretical analysis and quantitative simulation have been performed to investigate the characteristi...

We introduce low complexity machine learning method method (based on lasso regression, which promotes sparsity, to identify the interaction between symbols in different time slots and to select the minimum number relevant perturbation terms that are employed) for nonlinearity mitigation. The immense intricacy of the problem calls for the development of "smart" methodology, simplifying the analy...

Since optical communication is preferable for establishing connections exceeding a certain critical length, for large system sizes the beneficial use of normally conducting wires for the shortest connections becomes an edge effect and can be ignored. This suggests that the performance and cost of an all optical computer might not be much inferior to an optimal hybrid alternative. We argue that ...
