We have evaluated the performances of bidirectional optical amplifiers which were suited for the cost-effective implementation of amplified bidirectional passive optical networks (PONs). First, we measured the maximum gains of two simple bidirectional optical amplifiers implemented without using any optical components for the suppression of reflected signals. From the results, the maximum gains of two simple bidirectional amplifiers with a broadband light source (BLS) seeded optical source were limited to be 27 dB due to the reflection-induced in-band crosstalk, when the reflectance coefficients were measured to be -33 dB in both directions. Then, we have also implemented a bidirectional optical amplifier with two band splitters for the amplified bidirectional PON where the two different wavelength bands were allocated to the downstream and upstream signals transmission. In our measurement, we confirmed that the maximum gain of bidirectional optical amplifier with two band splitters could be increased to more than 30 dB owing to the efficient suppression of in-band crosstalk.

This paper deals with methods for partial response maximum-likelihood (PRML) detection and crosstalk cancellation. In accrodance with the demand for increased recording density, 20 gigabyte (Gbyte) digital versatile disk (DVD) ROM channel is considered. Channel is modelled to be close to real optical channel using DIFFRACT$\^$TM/. After comparing the spectral characteristics of various PR polynomials, P(D)=1＋D＋D$^2$＋D$^3$is proposed as a target PR. The performance of the system is illustrated under the condition that the readout signal is degraded by crosstalk, radial tilt and nonlinear distortions in optics. The experimental results show that crosstalk and nonlinear distortions degrade performance by about 2dB, respectively. We also show that when radial tilt is added to the crosstalk, the performance degradation assumes quite significant proprotions.

Recently, a new kind of optical multiplexing called optical-receiver-mode (ORM)-division multiplexing (ORMDM) has been proposed, in which an optical channel is a linear sum of ORM subchannels modulated independently. Using coherent-optical (CO) techniques, it has been reported that COORMDM communication systems can have very high spectral efficiencies (SEs). To estimate the SEs of CO-ORMDM communication systems, we introduce a new method of crosstalk analysis. Using this method, we can allocate quadrature-amplitude-modulation (QAM) codes and QAM step sizes unevenly over ORM subchannels to obtain higher SEs. With 50 Gaussian ORMs, we obtain a SE of up to 15.29 bit s^-1 Hz^-1.

Variable optical attenuators (VOA) made of low-loss fluorinated polymers are demonstrated which shows a low operating power less than 30 mW due to the superior thermo-optic effect of polymer material and a low insertion loss less than 1.0 dB by incorporating highly fluorinated polymers to reduce the absorption loss at 1550 nm. An attenuator-integrated low-crosstalk polymeric digital optical switch (DOS) is also demonstrated. The switch and attenuator shares a single connected electrode which is controlled by a single current source. Due to the simple structure of the integrated attenuator, the device length is reduced to 1 cm so as to provide low insertion loss of 0.8 and 1.1 dB for 1300 and 1550 nm, respectively. The attenuator radiates remained optical signal on the switch-off branch in order to decrease the switching crosstalk to be less than -70 dB with an applied electrical power of 200 mW.

A large incoherent crosstalk (IC) caused by amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise power from Tx-disabled optical network units and a differential path loss has been shown to degrade upstream transmission performance in time-division multiplexing passive optical networks. This paper considers the IC-induced power penalty of an upstream signal both in an XG-PON and in a TWDM-PON. We investigate the degradation of the extinction ratio and relative intensity noise through a simulation and experiments. For the XG-PON case, we observe a 9.6 dB difference in the level of ASE noise power from Tx-disabled ONUs (hereafter known simply as ASE noise) between our result and the ITU-T XG-PON PMD recommendation. We propose an optical filtering method to mitigate an IC-induced power penalty. In the TWDM-PON case, the IC-induced power penalty is naturally negligible because the ASE noise is filtered by a wavelength multiplexer at the optical line terminal. The results provide design guidelines for the level of ASE noise in both XG-PONs and TWDM-PONs.

본 논문에서는 실내 무선광연결에서 2개의 채널을 구성한 경우에 빔의 중첩으로 인하여 발생하는 흔신의 영향을 줄이기 위하여 차동증폭기를 사용하였다. 또한 동일한 원리를 이용하면 주변광집음이 있는 경우에 잡음을 억제할 수 있음을 실험적으로 확인하였다. 이러한 방법은 별도의 광학적 필터나 전기적 필터를 사용하지 않고 간단히 차동증폭기로 구현되므로 근거리 광연결을 구성하는 경우에 매우 유용하게 사용할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 무선광연결에서 편광판을 이용하여 잡음광을 소거하는 방법에 대하여 소개한다. 잡음광을 소거하기 위한 차동검출기에 편광판을 사용하면 잡음소거능력이 향상된다. 또한 유사한 파장을 가진 두 개의 광신호가 공간에 첩되어 혼싱이 발생하는 경우에는 각각의 수신부에 편광판을 서로 수직으로 부착하면 각각의 광신호를 쉽게 분리 검출할 수 있다. 이 방법은 매우 간단하여 사용하기가 쉽다.하기가 쉽다.

We propose a triangular-multicore hollow optical fiber (TMC-HOF) design for uncoupled mode-division and space-division multiplexing. The TMC-HOF has three triangular cores, and each core has three modes: $LP_{01}$ and two split $LP_{11}$ modes. The asymmetric structure of the triangular core can split the $LP_{11}$ modes. Using the proposed structures, nine independent modes can propagate in a fiber. We use a fully vectorial finite-element method to estimate effective index, chromatic dispersion, differential group delay (DGD), and confinement loss by controlling the parameters of the TMC-HOF structure. We confirm that the proposed TMC-HOF shows flattened chromatic dispersion, low DGD, low confinement loss, low core-to-core crosstalk, and low crosstalk between adjacent modes. The proposed TMC-HOF can provide a common platform for MDM and SDM applications.

In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a novel channel-selectable multichannel optical add/drop multiplexer consisting of a sampled fiber grating and tunable fiber Bra99 gratings. The device adds and drops not only single channel, but also any predetermined multiple channels simultaneously with low interchannel crosstalk by wavelength tuning as small as 0.5 nm or less. The interchannel crosstalk better than 27㏈ has been shown experimentally.
