The analytical expressions for a partially coherent flat-topped vortex hollow beam propagating in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis are derived, and the intensity and coherent vortex properties of partially coherent flat-topped vortex hollow beam propagation in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis are analyzed by numerical examples. The influence of beam order parameter N, topological charge M, the coherence length and the ratio of refractive indices $n_e/n_o$ of uniaxial crystals on the normalized intensity distribution and coherent vortex of a partially coherent flat-topped vortex hollow beam propagating in uniaxial crystals are discussed in detail.

Heterodyne efficiency is an indicator to evaluate the performance of space coherent laser communication systems. It is affected by signal light and local oscillator (LO) light amplitude, phase and polarization state. In this paper, based on the common heterodyne efficiency, a heterodyne efficiency model that can reflect polarization aberration of optical system is proposed. The heterodyne efficiency is analyzed when the signal light and the LO light are linearly polarized or circularly polarized. For a coherent communication optical system, when the incident signal light is right-circularly polarized light and the incident LO light is 45° linear polarized light. Based on the three-dimensional ray tracing theory and the heterodyne efficiency proposed in this paper, the change of polarization states and the distribution of heterodyne efficiency of the signal light and LO light influenced by the optical system's polarization aberration are analyzed. Analysis shows that the heterodyne efficiency model proposed in this paper can be used to evaluate coherent communication systems and reflect the influence of optical system polarization aberration.

We propose a new coherent optical receiver (COR) to detect optical receiver mode (ORM) subchannels selectively in coherent optical (CO) ORM division multiplexing (ORMDM) systems. In the CO-ORMDM systems, each optical channel is a linear sum of ORM subchannels, to obtain high spectral efficiencies (SEs). The COR uses an ORM subcarrier as its local oscillator (LO) and reads the transmitted data at the origin times of ORM signals. For example, if the m^th ORM subcarrier is used as the LO, then the COR reads the data of the m^th ORM subchannel. The proposed COR is fast and can make CO-ORMDM systems useful for real-time optical communication with high SE.

After the invention of the femtosecond pulse lasers, generating and detecting the coherent optical phonons in various materials became possible. In bulk GaAs, which is a polar material, the coherent LO phonons are known to be generated by the ultrafast screening of the surface space-charge fields. However, little is known about the generation mechanisms of coherent phonons in GaAs quantum structures. (omitted)

Plasmonic high-order harmonic generation (HHG) is used in nanoscale optical applications because it can help in realizing a compact coherent ultrashort pulse generator on the nanoscale, using plasmonic field enhancement. The plasmonic amplification of nanostructures induces nonlinear optical phenomena such as second-order harmonic generation, third-order harmonic generation, frequency mixing, and HHG. This amplification also causes damage to the structure itself. In this study, the plasmonic amplification according to the design of a metal-coated sapphire conical structure is theoretically calculated, and we analyze the effects of this optical amplification on HHG and damage to the sample.

In a free-space coherent optical communication system, wavefront distortion is frequently beyond the correction range of the adaptive-optics system after the laser has propagated through the atmospheric turbulence. A method of residual wavefront correction is proposed, to improve the quality of coherent optical communication in free space. The relationship between the wavefront phase expanded by Zernike polynomials and the mixing efficiency is derived analytically. The influence of Zernike-polynomial distortion on the bit-error rate (BER) of a phase-modulation system is analyzed. From the theoretical analysis, the BER of the system changes periodically, due to the periodic extension of wavefront distortion. Experimental results show that the BER after correction is reduced from 10^-1 to 10^-4; however, when the closed-loop control algorithm with residual correction is used, the experimental results show that the BER is reduced from 10^-1 to 10^-7.

It is shown that polarization singularities of a new type, namely U and P singularities, arise at the transverse cross section of a partially coherent beam, instead of the common singularities such as C points and L lines in a completely coherent vector field. A relationship between the two kind of singularities with respect to intensity is proposed. We also present a setup that can generate the new singularities, and any desired distribution of degree of polarization, using intensity control.

An optical coherent system is considered for the next-generation optical access networks in enhancing the data rate and transmission distance. In this system, however, I/Q amplitude imbalance may occur at several parts of the system, leading to serious performance degradation. Asymmetric structure of a coherent receiver at the location of subscriber is one of the sources of I/Q imbalance. Therefore, this imbalance parameters must be removed or compensated to secure the transmission performance. In this paper, the source of I/Q amplitude imbalance is analyzed, and then the way to compensate for the imbalance at the receiver side is suggested. Performance after the compensation is estimated using simulation.
