In the field of optical fiber distributed acoustic sensing, the combination of pulse compression and frequency division multiplexing will occupy a large bandwidth. In this paper, a novel distributed optical fiber acoustic sensor system is proposed, which can reduce the spectrum resources occupied by the combination of the above two technologies. The system continuously injects nonlinear frequency modulation detection pulses of different frequency ranges. The frequency response range of vibration is improved by frequency division multiplexing, and the spatial resolution is enhanced by nonlinear frequency modulation. Nonlinear frequency modulation also improves the sidelobe rejection ratio without loss of signal-to-noise ratio. In the experiment, eight frequencies were multiplexed using a 120MHz bandwidth. We achieved a spatial resolution of about 5m and a frequency response range of 1~20kHz on a 16.3km fiber.
In order to eliminate the noise in the polarization mode dispersion(PMD)measurement system by the fixed analyzer method and improve the measurement accuracy, this paper applies singualr value decomposition(SVD) denoising algorithm to polarization mode dispersion measurement scheme. First, construct Hankel matrix in term of a discrete signal sequence, and it was decomposed into a number of matrixes by singular value. Second, divide singular values into two groups: valid group and noise group and fit the valid signal characteristic curve and the noise characteristic curve. Then, calculate the fitting error, and define the minimal order of fitting error as valid order. Finally, reconstruct the signal. The experiments compare results based on the SVD filtering method, Butterworth filtering method and commercial instruments. The results show that this method is suitable in different types and lengths of fiber. The measurement accuracy was improved obviously.
A comprehensive study of an optical voltage-controlled oscillator (OVCO) is presented. With the help of analyzing the coherent receiving process for the binary phase-shift keying signal in a Costas subcarrier optical phase-locked loops system, the method to evaluate the OVCO performance based on calculating the transfer function of the modulator inside the OVCO is proposed, including the power efficiency and the requirement for received signal bandwidth. In addition, three possible OVCO configurations realized by Mach–Zehnder modulator, IQ modulator, and phase modulator are presented. The means to achieve the optimal performance of the OVCO configurations in practical implementations are theoretically explained, respectively, and their properties and the complexity are summarized. This work provides useful theoretical guides for the OVCO design in a lab experiment or for the production of a commercially integrated OVCO component.
We propose and demonstrate an auto-bias control scheme for the IQ-modulator of a flexible optical PSK or QAM or other modulation formats transmitter in this paper. Due to IQ-modulators usually producing higher-order modulation format, these modulation formats involve phase mostly. It is based on that the bias drift will change the operating point and result in varying the output optical phase. This technology has no restrictions on modulation formats, so it has good flexibility. The experimental result show the three biases can be stabilized when the proposed scheme is implemented.
Optical fiber sensing has many advantages, such as volume small, light quality, low loss, strong in anti-jamming. Since the invention of the optical fiber sensing technology in 1977, optical fiber sensing technology has been applied in the military, national defense, aerospace, industrial, medical and other fields in recent years, and made a great contribution to parameter measurement in the environment under the limited condition .With the rapid development of computer, network system, the intelligent optical fiber sensing technology, the sensor technology, the combination of computer and communication technology , the detection, diagnosis and analysis can be automatically and efficiently completed. In this work, we proposed a noninvasive blood pressure detection and analysis scheme which uses optical fiber sensor. Optical fiber sensing system mainly includes the light source, optical fiber, optical detector, optical modulator, the signal processing module and so on. wavelength optical signals were led into the optical fiber sensor and the signals reflected by the human body surface were detected. By comparing actual testing data with the data got by traditional way to measure the blood pressure we can establish models for predicting the blood pressure and achieve noninvasive blood pressure measurement by using spectrum analysis technology. Blood pressure measurement method based on optical fiber sensing system is faster and more convenient than traditional way, and it can get accurate analysis results in a shorter period of time than before, so it can efficiently reduce the time cost and manpower cost.
As a key component of the subcarrier-based optical phase-locked loop, an optical voltage controlled oscillator (OVCO) suffers a penalty due to various factors, such as the nonoptimal peak drive voltage, the bias voltage deviation, and the inevitable imperfections of the modulator and the driver. We have performed a systematic study to investigate the influence of these factors on the performance of the OVCO. Our theoretical analysis and experimental demonstration show that by setting the peak drive voltage to around 1.172Vπ, employing a proper automatic bias control technology for the Mach–Zehnder modulator, and applying a driver with adequate output saturation voltage, the optimal performance of the OVCO with high power efficiency and stable output can be achieved. Our results may provide useful guides for the design of an OVCO or the production of a commercially integrated OVCO component.
A novel solution of frequency locking based on beat frequency detection in homodyne coherent receiver is presented and experimentally demonstrated. The beat frequency detection, using two beat frequency signals generated by a balance detector module, is easily to eliminate the noise introduced during long distance transmission. Furthermore, FPGA, as the core of the control unit, is adopted to change the resulting frequency of OVCO on the basis of the frequency deviation. The proposed scheme is tested more efficiency and higher stability than the previously single path feedback loop.
We propose a communication system of Circular Polarization Shift Keying (CPolSK) with homodyne coherent detection in free-space optical (FSO) communication with Gamma-Gamma atmospheric turbulence channel. The system need no polarization coordinate alignment, thus the complexity is reduced. Meanwhile, we derived the closed bit error rate (BER) expression of the system compared with the coherent on-off keying (OOK) system. Simulation results show that CPolSK with homodyne system is highly insensitive to the phase noise and BER performance is greatly promoted compared to OOK modulation, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of receiving is reduced about 8dB when the system has the same BER performance under same conditions.
We propose a detection scheme called Stokes vector direct detection (SV-DD) to realize high electrical spectral efficiency and cost-effective optical communication , which is more suitable than coherent detection for short-reach. At reception, the signal is detected in Stokes space.SV-DD is different from conventional DD technique in the parts of not requiring polarization tracking or narrow band optical filtering for carrier extraction. 2nd-order nonlinearity due to photodetection is a fundamental limitation for DD. The conventional SV-DD systems use 2*4 coupler in the receiver, it makes 2nd-order nonlinearity much serious since there are four photodetections or two balance photodetections. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate the SVDD scheme in single-carrier system using a 3*3 coupler with three photodetections in the receiver.
In this paper, we mainly introduce a novel measurement system of the polarization extinction ratio(PBSBC system). Here, because the main optical components of the system is PBS and PBC, so we call this system PBSBC system. First of all, we introduce the principle of method of measuring the polarization extinction ratio by drawing a circle on the Poincare. Secondly, we present the system block diagram of PBSBC system, and design an experimental system to theoretically and experimentally investigate the performance of this system though the multiple groups of experimental data collected under the same condition. Finally, we could show that it is compatible with the analysis in PBSBC system.

grid over 1,000 km field fiber. Our transmission result proves showing the feasibility of 100G overlaying existing 10G/40G
commercial systems despite the presence of strong cross-phase modulation.
Compared to other digital equalizers, MLSE (maximum likelihood sequence estimator) equalizer seem to be the most

analyzed. The effectiveness of this demultiplexing method is experimentally demonstrated.
White light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are becoming widely used in both illumination and communication applications. In
this paper, a visible light communication system is described, which employs blind equalization schemes at the receiver.

Polarization mode dispersion is considered to be one of the main obstacles for high speed long-haul optical fiber
communication systems. It is necessary to realize PMD monitoring. This paper theoretically analyzed the principle of
polarization mode dispersion monitoring with degree of polarization as monitoring signal. Using the degree of
polarization method, the scheme of DSP based high precision real-time inline PMD monitoring is designed and
implemented. An experiment system is set up to monitor polarization mode dispersion of 40Gbit/s DQPSK system. The
experiment results show that the range of input optical power is -20~0dBm, the response time is 1μs and the states of
polarization accuracy degree is 1%. It has high sensitivity and can be used in a variety of modulation formats and it is
independent of optical signal rate.
We propose and demonstrate a 10Gb/s bidirectional reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (R-SOA) based
wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) utilizing a DPSK signal for down-link and an
OOK signal re-modulated for up-link. The eye diagram and the penalty of max eye opening factor (EOP) performance of
our simulation results show that the performance of our scheme is as good as those in case of continuous wave(CW) light
injected R-SOA. So our scheme is a practical solution to meet the data rate and cost-efficient of the optical links
simultaneously in tomorrow's WDM-PON access networks.
