Sub-Poissonian light by spatial soliton filtering
Antonio Mecozzi,Prem Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that spatial filtering of Kerr spatial solitons produces sub-Poissonian (amplitude-squeezed) light, which can be performed in either the near field or the far field of the spatial soliton at the output of the Kerr medium.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The Enhanced Kramers Kronig Receiver
TL;DR: A new receiver scheme is presented that recovers complex-valued QAM modulated data while using two separate branches of direct detection, and its power efficiency is far better than in other receiver schemes of comparable characteristics.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Limits on the spectral efficiency of intensity modulated direct detection systems with optical amplifiers
M. Shtalf,Antonio Mecozzi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the information capacity and the spectral efficiency of communication systems with optical amplifiers, in the direct detection intensity modulation case, were studied and it was shown that with typical values of OSNR of the order of 20 dB, multilevel signaling can increase spectral efficiency by no more than a factor of 3.5 relative to binary modulated systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noise in wavelength conversion using four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers
Faustino Martelli,Antonio Mecozzi,A. D'Ottavi,S. Scotti,Paolo Spano,R. Dall'Ara,J. Eckner,G. Guekos +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the pump power dependence of efficiency and signal-to-background ratio in wavelength conversion using four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers, for different lengths of the device.
Journal ArticleDOI
Information Capacity of Direct Detection Optical Transmission Systems
Antonio Mecozzi,Mark Shtaif +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the spectral efficiency of a direct detection transmission system is at most 1 b/s/Hz less than that of a system employing coherent detection with the same modulation format.
