The electroabsorption modulator still shows large transient chirp and thus is hard to operate at higher bit rate without a high insertion loss. To overcome this obstacle, it is imperative to fully understand the chirp characteristics caused by Stark effect in the multiple quantum-well (MQW) structures. This work presents a simple experimental method of measuring MQW electro-absorption and the chirp parameter.

We report on the first fine x-z mapping experiment of magnetic near-field distribution over fine circuit patterns. Required three-dimensional (3D) spatial resolution was brought about by utilizing the fiber-edged magneto-optic (FEMO) probe structure. The 3D mapping technique of electromagnetic fields provides more information about finer variations in the vertical (z) direction in cases of finer circuits. The electro-optic/magneto-optic (EO/MO) probing techniques are promising toward this purpose since one can take its attractive natures such as wide-bandwidth, high-sensitivity, low invasiveness, and relatively high-spatial-resolution.

We report residual phase-noise measurements of both actively mode-locked fiber and semiconductor lasers using sinusoidal mode-locking frequencies between 500 MHz and 5 GHz. The fiber laser is a polarization maintaining erbium-doped fiber ring laser that is harmonically mode-locked using a sinusoidal drive signal. The mode-locked semiconductor laser uses an external cavity configuration.

Our previous study on double heterojunction InGaAs/InGaAlAs/InAlAs metamorphic photodiodes has shown photodiodes with dark currents as low as 500 pA, responsivity of 0.6 A/W, and bandwidths up to 38 GHz. In this paper, we report our results on the high power handling capability of metamorphic photodiodes under high power optical illumination up to 10 dBm. In ultra-high speed optical fiber communication systems operating at 40 Gbit/s or beyond, the photodiodes that can handle high optical input power are needed because an EDFA (erbium doped fiber amplifier) is often placed in front of the photoreceiver. It is imperative to study the frequency response of the metamorphic photodiodes under high power optical illumination to prove that these photodiodes based on metamorphic technology can be a strong candidate for high speed optical fiber communications.

We apply quantum well intermixing (QWI) to the sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector (SGDBR) laser to demonstrate tuning by current injection in the QWI material and to improve device design. Specifically, by utilizing a centered quantum well active region the mode overlap with the quantum wells is increased by a factor of 1.5 over the offset quantum well case, where the quantum wells are positioned above the waveguide. In this way the modal gain is increased, improving the characteristics of the laser. In order to create a non-absorbing waveguide, QWI has been applied to the back and front mirror to blue shift the quantum well band edge.

In this paper we present a novel wavelength-interleaving scheme to increase the optical spectral efficiency in mm-wave WDM fiber-radio systems and demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme via experiment and simulation. The technique employs wavelength interleaving in conjunction with OSSB+C modulation. A wavelength-interleaved optical add-drop multiplexer using fiber gratings and an optical circulator was realized to implement the technique, the feasibility of which was demonstrated via three interleaved WDM channels each transporting a 155 Mb/s BPSK signal at 36 GHz over a 20 km fiber link. Capacity analysis shows that the wavelength-interleaving technique increases the maximum number of channels by almost 75% after taking into account overall system performance and device limitation.

We have demonstrated a miniature microwave chirp generator using a three-section dual-wavelength DFB laser. Because the saturable absorption section, which performs high-speed photo detection, is made on the same chip, no external optical coupling is necessary. The entire structure is integrated and self-consistent, it will find applications in future wireless and space-borne communications.

Simulation experiments are used to assess the feasibility of optical SSB systems using self-homodyne detection. The experiments revealed that the electrical waveforms of the drive signals, required by the transmitter modulators, play a critical role on the system performance. Particularly important is the modulation depth. The present study recommends a modulation depth of 0.2 in order to obtain the best performance. The tap delay used in the discrete approximation of the Hilbert filter was also optimized, resulting in a value of 37.5 ps.
