TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the measured group-velocity dispersion characteristics of several air-silica photonic crystal fibers with anomalous group velocity dispersion at visible and near-infrared wavelengths.
Abstract: We describe the measured group-velocity dispersion characteristics of several air-silica photonic crystal fibers with anomalous group-velocity dispersion at visible and near-infrared wavelengths. The values measured over a broad spectral range are compared to those predicted for an isolated strand of silica surrounded by air. We demonstrate a strictly single-mode fiber which has zero dispersion at a wavelength of 700 mm. These fibers are significant for the generation of solitons and supercontinua using ultrashort pulse sources.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a visible light communication (VLC) system based on a single 50-μm gallium nitride light emitting diode (LED) with a 3-dB modulation bandwidth of at least 60 MHz.
Abstract: This letter presents a visible light communication (VLC) system based on a single 50- μm gallium nitride light emitting diode (LED). A device of this size exhibits a 3-dB modulation bandwidth of at least 60 MHz - significantly higher than commercially available white lighting LEDs. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is employed as a modulation scheme. This enables the limited modulation bandwidth of the device to be fully used. Pre- and postequalization techniques, as well as adaptive data loading, are successfully applied to achieve a demonstration of wireless communication at speeds exceeding 3 Gb/s. To date, this is the fastest wireless VLC system using a single LED.

TL;DR: In this paper, a compact optical channel dropping filter incorporating side-coupled ring resonators as small as 3 /spl mu/m in radius is realized in silicon technology.
Abstract: Compact optical channel dropping filters incorporating side-coupled ring resonators as small as 3 /spl mu/m in radius are realized in silicon technology. Quality factors up to 250, and a free-spectral range (FSR) as large as 24 nm are measured. Such structures can be used as fundamental building blocks in more sophisticated optical signal processing devices.

TL;DR: In this article, an optical nonlinear element asymmetrically placed in a short fiber loop is used for demultiplexing Tb/s pulse trains that requires less than 1 pJ of switching energy and can be integrated on a chip.
Abstract: A device capable of demultiplexing Tb/s pulse trains that requires less than 1 pJ of switching energy and can be integrated on a chip is presented. The device consists of an optical nonlinear element asymmetrically placed in a short fiber loop. Its switching time is determined by the off-center position of the nonlinear element within the loop, and therefore it can use the strong, slow optical nonlinearities found in semiconductors, which all other fast demultiplexers seek to avoid. The switch's operation at 50 Gb/s is demonstrated, using 600-fJ control pulses. >

TL;DR: In this paper, the coupling of optical waveguides to ring resonators holds the promise of a new generation of switches (modulators) which employ orders of magnitude smaller switching (modulation) voltages (or control intensities).
Abstract: The coupling of optical waveguides to ring resonators holds the promise of a new generation of switches (modulators) which employ orders of magnitude smaller switching (modulation) voltages (or control intensities). This requires a means for voltage (or intensity) control of the coupling between the waveguide and the resonator. Schemes for achieving such control are discussed.
