Polarization Independent Reflective Modulator

Abstract: An apparatus comprising an optical input configured to receive an optical carrier, an polarization beam splitter configured to forward a first polarized component of the optical carrier along a first light path, and forward a second polarized component of the optical carrier along a second light path, wherein the first polarized component comprises a first polarization that is perpendicular to a second polarization of the second polarized component upon exiting the optical splitter, and an optical modulator coupled to the first light path and the second light path, the modulator configured to modulate the first polarized component of the optical carrier and the second polarized component of the optical carrier.

Passive optical star bus with collision detection for CSMA/CD-based local-area networks

Abstract: A prototype 16-terminal passive star bus suitable for carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD)-based fiber-optic local-area network is described. Operation is at 16 Mbit/s over optical path lengths of 600 m. The optical wavelength is 830 nm. A novel and simple collision detection method based on listening onto the bus is incorporated within the system. In addition, data is scrambled instead of Manchester encoded. The effect that scrambling has on the collision detection method, as well as on the detection of both the bus idle state and the beginning and end of data packets is examined in detail. The network efficiency is calculated taking into account the operation of the scrambler as well as the collision detection method.

Investigation of 340-Gbps terrestrial FSO link incorporating spectral-efficient DP-QPSK-PolSK hybrid modulation scheme

Abstract: A high-capacity spectral-efficient dual-polarization quadrature phase-shift keying (DP-QPSK)-polarization shift-keying (PolSK) hybrid modulation scheme for terrestrial free-space optics (FSO) transmission link is proposed and investigated. A DP-QPSK signal modulated at 300 Gbps and a PolSK signal modulated at 40 Gbps are simultaneously transmitted using a single optical carrier over the FSO link. The proposed link performance is investigated under different weather conditions, where the bit error rate metric is used to evaluate the performance of the PolSK modulated signal and the error vector magnitude parameter is used for the DP-QPSK signal. The FSO link range and the required received power are carefully explored. The conducted numerical simulations of the proposed system showed reliable 340-Gbps data transmission over link ranges varying from 1.6125 to 50 km depending on the weather conditions. The impact of the channel scintillation due to atmospheric turbulence is also investigated. The proposed high-speed FSO transmission system offers a promising solution for high-bandwidth hungry systems used for the internet of things, 5G, and smart cities. It can also be used in developing fronthaul/backhaul links for future wireless networks and optical access networks. The performance of the proposed transmission system is compared with recently published work in the literature.

100BASE-T2: 100 Mbit/s Ethernet over two pairs of category-3 cabling

Abstract: 100BASE-T2 is a new physical layer specification for IEEE 802.3 LANs operating at 100 Mbit/s ("fast Ethernet"). It enables users of the 10BASE-T Ethernet LAN technology to upgrade their networks from 10 Mbit/s to 100 Mbit/s performance while retaining an existing voice-grade cabling infrastructure. 100BASE-T2 transceivers will operate over two pairs in unshielded twisted-pair cables corresponding to EIA/TIA category 3 (UTP-3), which is the minimum requirement for 10BASE-T. In a four-pair UTP-3 cable, simultaneous operation of two 100BASE-T2 links, or one 100BASE-T2 and one 10BASE-T link, is permitted. Since voice-grade cables exhibit more signal attenuation and significantly higher crosstalk coupling between adjacent pairs than data-grade cables, sophisticated digital signal processing techniques are needed to achieve reliable 100 Mbit/s transmission. The 100BASE-T2 standard defines dual-duplex baseband transmission at a modulation rate of 25 MBaud. During each modulation interval, a four-bit data nibble or Ethernet specific control information is encoded into a pair of quinary signals. These signals are transmitted simultaneously on the two wire pairs in both signalling directions. In the receivers, adaptive digital filters are required for echo and NEXT cancellation, equalization, and interference suppression.
