A simulation of 10 Gbps optical fiber transmission system using DCf(dispersion compensating fiber) for the dispersion compensation is performed. In order to analyze the NRZ pulse propagation in nonlinear, dispersive and lossy fiber, the split-step finite element method that is combination of finite element method and finite difference method is used. Also, we obtained the optical eye diagram and BER characteristics at the receiver of the system that is contained the optical amplifier and system noises. As a result of simulation, we obtain that the dispersion penalty is about 0.8dB after 50km transmission and the receiver sensitivities at $10^{-9}$ BER are -27.4dBm with EDFA pre-amplifier of 12dB gain and -15.6dBm without EDFA.

This paper introduces a 2.5-Gb/s optical receiver implemented in a standard 1P4M 0.18um CMOS technology for the applications of active optical HDMI cables. The optical receiver consists of a differential transimpedance amplifier(TIA), a five-stage differential limiting amplifier(LA), and an output buffer. The TIA exploits the inverter input configuration with a resistive feedback for low noise and power consumption. It is cascaded by an additional differential amplifier and a DC-balanced buffer to facilitate the following LA design. The LA consists of five gain cells, an output buffer, and an offset cancellation circuit. The proposed optical receiver demonstrates $91dB{\Omega}$ transimpedance gain, 1.55 GHz bandwidth even with the large photodiode capacitance of 320 fF, 16 pA/sqrt(Hz) average noise current spectral density within the bandwidth (corresponding to the optical sensitivity of -21.6 dBm for $10^{-12}$ BER), and 40 mW power dissipation from a single 1.8-V supply. Test chips occupy the area of $1.35{\times}2.46mm^2$ including pads. The optically measured eye-diagrams confirms wide and clear eye-openings for 2.5-Gb/s operations.

This paper presents a theoretical study of transmission performance for an optical NRZ (nonreturn-to-zero) transmitter employed a Mach-Zehnder modulator. Especially, we have investigated the effects of the ${\alpha}$-parameters that represents the chirps and the driving voltage ratios(=driving voltage/switching voltage) of Mach-Zehnder modulators for transmitting 25Gbps optical NRZ signals at a wavelength of 1550nm without any dispersion compensation methods over single mode fiber. By optimizing the negative values of ${\alpha}$-parameters for the dispersion tolerance with the change of driving voltage ratios, it has been tested whether the transmission performance has improved. We have verified the improvement by the BERs and the optical eye diagrams.

This paper presents a theoretical study of transmission performance for optical duobinary transmitters employed a Mach-Zehnder modulator. Especially, we have investigated the performance of the various transmitters for transmitting 25Gbps optical duobinary signals at a wavelength of 1550nm without any dispersion compensation methods over single mode fiber. Due to the characteristics of generating their duobinary signals, each transmitter has a distinct optical power spectrum and an eye opening shape. By these, there was a difference in the dispersion tolerance. We could find a suitable transmitter for 25Gbps transmission considering the structure complexities and the restricted conditions with the simulation results.

This paper presents the simulation and design of an all-optical subtractor using a quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier Mach-Zehnder interferometer (QD-SOA MZI) structure consisting of two cascaded switches, the first of which produces the differential bit. Then the second switch produces the borrow bit by using the output of the first switch and the subtrahend data stream. Simulation results were obtained by solving the rate equations of the QD-SOA. The effects of QD-SOA length, peak power and current density have been investigated. The designed gate can operate at speeds of over 250 Gb/s. The simulation results demonstrate a high extinction ratio and a clear and wide-opening eye diagram.

The transmission performance of 10Gb/s optical duobinary transmitters implemented by using a Mach-Zehnder(MZ) modulator and an optical delay interferometer is presented. We investigated the theoretical impact of transmission systems by the modulator driving voltage ratio(=driving voltage/switching voltage) and the optical interferometer time delay to improve transmission distance using computer simulation. By reducing the driving voltage ratio and optimizing the partial bit time delay, the transmission performance has been improved greatly.

We need a good image of the retina of the human eye in order to inspect or cure it. In this work, an optical system design for a retinal camera is studied and the finite schematic eye model made by Sang Gee Kim and Sung Chan Park is used. The optical system is composed of four lens groups. The rays of the entire object field are collected on the center by the 1st group and the objective is imaged by all the other groups. The image is detected by the CCD array and displayed by a monitor The 1st lens group is employed singlet and other groups are employed triplets. Ray aberrations, spot diagrams, diffraction line spread functions and MTFs are calculated for optical performance assessment. This design may be very useful for the development of a retinal camera with high performance.

본 논문에서는 장거리 광 전송로에 대한 시뮬레이션을 효과적으로 빨리 할 수 있는 전파 매개변수 매핑 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 많은 광섬유 섹션들과 증폭기들로 구성된 긴 전송로를, 매핑된 전파 매개변수를 갖는 단 하나의 광섬유 섹션의 전송로로 모델링 하는 것이다. 그리고, 본래의 전송로 대신 모델링된 전송로를 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 하고 성능을 분석한다. 그것의 성능을 eye diagram, 정상 시뮬레이션과 제안된 매핑 방법에 의한 eye-opening 들의 차이, 시뮬레이션 시간의 감소 정도를 통해 확인한다. 시뮬레이션 결과에서 이 방법은 정상 시뮬레이션과 비교할 때 3% 이내의 eye-opening 차이를 가질 만큼 광 신호의 전파특성을 정확하게 서술하고 시뮬레이션 시간은 광섬유 섹션의 수가 20일 때 정상 시뮬레이션의 34.72%로 감소시켜 주는 것을 확인하였다.

The Decision-directed (DD) algorithm is known to be not effective to initialize a blind equalizer in the channel conditions when the eye diagram of received signals is completely closed because it can not open the eye diagram enough. In this paper, we propose a new error to replace the error of the conventional DD algorithm. The new DD error is the conventional DD error scaled by the modulus of symbol decision, new DD algorithm using this error is effective to open the closed eye diagram in early stage of equalization unlike the conventional DD. The new DD algorithm appling the new error is showed excellent convergence characteristics as compared to the CMA widely used in blind initialization, particularly, is useful for equalization of signals having multimodulus. The performance of the new DD algorithm is verified through the simulation for the higher-order QAM signals.

An optical system for iris pattern recognition of the human eye is designed. The lens system is triplet type, and characterized to minimize longitudinal chromatic aberration and Petzval sum. The distance from object to image is 200 mm-300 mm and the effective focal length is 50 mm. Performance of the imaging system is assessed by calculating the ray-fan and spot diagram for Fraunhofer C, d and F line for object height 0 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm. Furthermore, MTFs are calculated. All of the spot sizes are less than 0.05 mm in diameter. The MTF values are higher than 0.5 in the spatial frequency range up to 20 lines/mm for all of the object heights. ights.
