Kramers–Kronig coherent receiver

TLDR
This work proposes a direct-detection coherent receiver that combines the advantages of coherent transmission and the cost-effectiveness of direct detection, and is more efficient in terms of spectral occupancy and energy consumption.
Abstract
The interest for short-reach links of the kind needed for inter-data-center communications has fueled in recent years the search for transmission schemes that are simultaneously highly performing and cost effective. In this work we propose a direct-detection coherent receiver that combines the advantages of coherent transmission and the cost-effectiveness of direct detection. The working principle of the proposed receiver is based on the famous Kramers–Kronig (KK) relations, and its implementation requires transmitting a continuous-wave signal at one edge of the information-carrying signal spectrum. The KK receiver scheme allows digital postcompensation of linear propagation impairments and, as compared to other existing solutions, is more efficient in terms of spectral occupancy and energy consumption.

On the Theory of Dispersion of X-Rays

TL;DR: In this article, a general formula for the index of refraction in terms of the atomic absorption coefficient α and the critical frequencies is given, from the condition, experimentally verified, that the electrons in the atom for impressed frequencies, large compared to their natural frequencies, shall act like free electrons as far as the index is concerned, a relation is obtained for α.
