Mechanism study on the effects of power modulation on energy coupling efficiency in infrared laser welding of highly-reflective materials
摘要： High-reflectivity of materials, such as magnesium, copper and aluminum, results in low thermal efficiency of their infrared laser welding processes. AZ31 magnesium alloy was selected to study the effects of power modulation on energy coupling efficiency in laser welding of highly-reflective materials. A model for the relationship between energy coupling efficiency and modulation parameters was obtained. The energy coupling efficiency in optimized modulated-power laser welding was about 1.58 times that in constant-power welding. The mechanism was explored by analyzing keyhole evolution and the resulted pressure distribution along keyhole wall during welding. The keyhole evolutions in laser continuous welding of common material (Q345 steel, reflectivity of 65%) and highly-reflective material (AZ31, reflectivity of 85%) were observed through high-speed imaging by utilizing a half sandwich method. The results indicated that the secret of improving energy coupling efficiency of laser welding process of highly-reflective materials through power modulation was the formation of a deep keyhole and its long life. When instantaneous power decreased from the peak, there was still enough recoil pressure at the bottom of keyhole to resist surface tension and hydrostatic pressure of liquid metal, which was the fundamental reason for the long time existence of keyhole with a large depth.

Large-Dynamic Frequency Response Measurement for Broadband Electro-Optic Phase Modulators
摘要： A novel method for characterizing the frequency responses of broadband electro-optic phase modulators (PMs) by employing stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. In the proposed method, the SBS amplifies the +1st-order sideband and attenuates the -1st-order sideband of the phase-modulated signal from a PM under test. Thereby, the phase-modulated signal is converted into an optical single-sideband (OSSB) modulation signal. After square-law photodetection, the overall frequency responses are obtained. Removing the frequency responses of the SBS gain and the photodetector (PD) from the overall responses, the responses of the PM are thus achieved. Benefitting from the amplification of the SBS, the proposed method possesses a large dynamic range. Sub-Hz resolution and broadband measurement range are also achievable. A commercial broadband PM is experimentally characterized from 10 MHz to 50 GHz with a resolution of 5 MHz. According to the amplification of the SBS, the dynamic range is enhanced by 17.74 dB. The measurement result is verified by the conventional method utilizing optical spectrum analysis.

Measuring effective electro-optic coefficient at 1040?nm by spectral intensity modulation with THz time-domain spectroscopy
摘要： We report a single method for measuring the e?ective electro-optics (EO) coe?cient only by spectral intensity modulation with a terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) device. Compared with conventional methods, the measuring device based on THz-TDS by probing the spectral intensity modulation is simple, rapid, and highly sensitive. It does not require special preparation process, electrode contact or applying high voltage on the sensor samples. The EO coe?cients of four kinds of materials, namely, ZnTe and GaP crystals, DAST wafer and GaSe ?lm, are measured at 1040 nm. The results showed good agreement with literature data by the conventional methods.

Enhanced optical Kerr nonlinearity of graphene/Si hybrid waveguide
摘要： In this work, we experimentally study the optical Kerr nonlinearities of graphene/Si hybrid waveguides with enhanced self-phase modulation. In the case of CMOS compatible materials for nonlinear optical signal processing, Si and silicon nitride waveguides have been extensively investigated over the past decade. However, Si waveguides exhibit strong two-photon absorption (TPA) at telecommunication wavelengths, which leads to a signi?cant reduction of the nonlinear ?gure-of-merit (FOM). In contrast, a silicon nitride based material system usually suppresses the TPA but simultaneously leads to the reduction of Kerr nonlinearity by one order of magnitude. Here, we introduce a graphene/Si hybrid waveguide, which maintains the optical properties and CMOS compatibility of Si waveguides, while enhancing the Kerr nonlinearity, by transferring over to the top of the waveguides. The graphene/Si waveguides are measured to have an enhanced nonlinear parameter of 510 W(cid:2)1 m(cid:2)1, compared with that of the Si waveguide of 150 W(cid:2)1 m(cid:2)1. An enhanced nonlinear FOM of 2.48 6 0.25 has been achieved, which is four times larger than that of the Si waveguide of 0.6 6 0.1. This work reveals the potential application of graphene/Si hybrid waveguides with high Kerr nonlinearity and FOM for nonlinear all-optical signal processing.

Ultrathin wide-angle large-area digital 3D holographic display using a non-periodic photon sieve
摘要： Holographic displays can provide a 3D visual experience to multiple users without requiring special glasses. By precisely tailoring light fields, holographic displays could resemble realistic 3D scenes with full motion parallax and continuous depth cues. However, available holographic displays are unable to generate such scenes given practical limitations in wavefront modulation. In fact, the limited diffraction angle and small number of pixels of current wavefront modulators derive into a 3D scene with small size and narrow viewing angle. We propose a flat-panel wavefront modulator capable of displaying large dynamic holographic images with wide viewing angle. Specifically, an ultrahigh-capacity non-periodic photon sieve, which diffracts light at wide angles, is combined with an off-the-shelf liquid crystal display panel to generate holographic images. Besides wide viewing angle and large screen size, the wavefront modulator provides multi-colour projection and a small form factor, which suggests the possible implementation of holographic displays on thin devices.

A MEMS BPSK to ASK converter
摘要： Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of using micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) to convert a binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signal to a simpler amplitude shift keying (ASK) scheme. Design/methodology/approach – The prototype is designed within the SOIMUMPs? fabrication process constraints. The fabrication constraints imposed geometric limitations on what could be tested. These constraints were used to build a mathematical model, which in turn was used to optimize the response using MATLAB?. The optimized design was tested using ?nite element analysis with CoventorWare?, and ?nally lab tests on the fabricated device were performed to con?rm theoretical predictions. Findings – Theoretical predictions compared well with lab measurements on a prototype device measuring 2.9 mm2. The prototype was tested with a carrier frequency of 174 kHz at a BPSK data rate of 3 kHz and carrier amplitude of 6 V. With these parameters, ASK modulation indices of 0.96 and 0.94 were measured at the two output sensors. Originality/value – This study provides a MEMS solution for BPSK to ASK conversion. The study also identi?es what limits betterment of the modulation index and data rate. Such a device has potential application in wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes that have energy harvesters and sensors that are also built in MEMS. Being a MEMS device, it can facilitate integration in such WSN nodes and, hence, potentially reduce size and costs.

Widely tunable single bandpass microwave photonic filter based on dual-fiber stimulated Brillouin scattering
摘要： A new technique to achieve a single bandpass microwave photonic filter (MPF) with wide tunability based on stimulated Brillouin scattering is proposed. The MPF cascades the Brillouin frequency shifter and amplification based on a dual-fiber structure. The experimental results present a single bandpass MPF located at 21.4 GHz with a 3-dB bandwidth of 38 MHz and an out-of-band rejection ratio over 30 dB. The proposed single bandpass MPF also successfully demonstrates a wide-band tuning over 40 GHz, which is achieved by employing a frequency shifter based on carrier suppressed single-sideband modulation scheme in the structure.

Approaching Terabits per Carrier Metro-Regional Transmission Using Beyond-100GBd Coherent Optics with Propabilistically Shaped DP-64QAM Modulation
摘要： This research work proposed and experimentally demonstrated beyond-100GBd probabilistically-shaped coherent optics that support transmission of ~1.2 Tbps coded line rate and ~0.9 Tbps net bit rate per optical carrier over metro-regional distances. Pursuing next-generation transmission systems having both high capacity approaching Terabits per wavelength and high spectral efficiency requires engineering efforts from different aspects, which may includes the enhancement of analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog (AD/DA) interfaces, the improvement of channel characteristics, and also the realization of better receiver sensitivities, preferably through DSP techniques such as probabilistic shaping (PS). By doing so, this work achieved single-channel and 112.5GHz-WDM transmission of 900G wavelengths over 800 km and 400 km, respectively, which employed PS DP-64QAM modulation format at 105 GBd, yielding a net spectral efficiency of 8.05 bits/s/Hz. Such a high symbol rate was demonstrated using a commercially available DAC unit without band-interleaving. The enhanced optical channel consists of ITU-T G.654 compliant Terawave SLA+ fiber spans with backward-pumped Raman amplifiers. In addition, with the same PS DP-64QAM modulation format and the same enhanced channel, this research work also demonstrated that 400G wavelengths can be delivered over 2,800 km supporting long-haul applications.

Subcarrier-Index Modulated Multicarrier Space-Time Shift Keying: Achievable Rate, Performance and Design Guidelines
摘要： Multicarrier (MC) space-time shift keying (STSK) relying on the concept of subcarrier-index modulated orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SIM-OFDM) is proposed. In conventional MC-STSK system, the performance erosion of STSK in dispersive channels is mitigated by employing OFDM. The SIM-OFDM aided MC-STSK activates a specified limited number of subcarriers for transmitting the STSK codewords. The indices of the activated subcarriers provide additional multiplexing gain. A new receiver architecture, which uses the single-stream maximum-likelihood (ML) detector of STSK and the subcarrier activation principle of SIM-OFDM, is designed. A soft decision logarithmic likelihood ratio (LLR) based detector is also conceived. Helpful design guidelines are provided for the system. The achievable rate, complexity and performance of the system are analytically quantified and verified with the aid of numerical simulations. The system is capable of overcoming the impairments imposed by wideband channels, is benefited from index modulation as well as from STSK. The scheme exhibits an improved error performance compared to the classic OFDM-based STSK as a result of the more reliable detection of the subcarrier index bits.

[Communications in Computer and Information Science] Futuristic Trends in Network and Communication Technologies Volume 958 (First International Conference, FTNCT 2018, Solan, India, February 9–10, 2018, Revised Selected Papers) || Future Perspectives in Elastic Optical Networks
摘要： The new generation Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) can accommodate exponentially increasing heterogeneous data traffic efficiently and economically. In EONs, the optimum channel spacing between various subcarriers is very crucial for its efficient performance. The use of Sub-Carrier Multiplexing (SCM) in EONs is visualized as an evolving field. This paper present the evaluation of SCM based EONs for both mathematical and simulative model. The designed SCM-EON network is analytically evaluated for its performance with different modulation techniques (Direct Modulation and External Modulation). The performance of system is also evaluated for amplification using Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) and Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA). Simulative results show that Optical Phase Modulation (OPM) along with EDFA offers enhanced performance for the proposed model. It has also been observed that OPM is a better technique for SCM and hence it can be deduced that the combination will boost EONs efficiency in handling network resources.
