TL;DR: In this article, an ultrafast time-domain optical multi/demultiplexer utilizing the optical Kerr effect in two birefringent fibres concatenated with each fast axis crossed is proposed.
Abstract: An ultrafast time-domain optical multi/demultiplexer utilising the optical Kerr effect in two birefringent fibres concatenated with each fast axis crossed is proposed. Stable demultiplexing of an ultrashort 30 ps optical pulse train at 1.97 GHz from a gain-switched DFB LD has been successfully demonstrated using CW mode-locked Nd:YAG laser control pulses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) with the spin-flip model (SFM), including noise, to model a vertical-cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) subject to polarized optical injection.
Abstract: We report novel theoretical results obtained from combining the method of largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) with the spin-flip model (SFM), including noise, to model a vertical-cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) subject to polarized optical injection. The LLE is applied to the numerical solutions in order to automatically calculate stability maps that characterize the dynamics. The SFM has been extended and generalized to allow for optical injection of arbitrary polarization. Measurements on a 1550-nm VCSEL have been used to estimate the values of key parameters for use in the model and with these we demonstrate excellent agreement between theory and experiment.

22 Mar 2009TL;DR: In this article, a new polarization constellation diagram leads to polarization QAM modulation formats, such as POL-QAM 6-4 with six QPSK modulated states ofpolarization.
Abstract: A new polarization constellation diagram leads to polarization QAM modulation formats. At 28Gbaud (112Gb/s) POL-QAM 6-4 with six QPSK modulated states-of-polarization enables 1.7-dB higher sensitivity than PDM-QPSK by applying coded-modulation with an inner RS(511,455) FEC.
