In 40-Gb/s optical systems, it is impossible to neglect the electronic dispersion of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD). As the data rate is increased, the maximum useful length of the fiber decreases according to the square of the increase. With the development of VLSI and DSP technologies, the electronic dispersion compensation for optical network has aroused greater world attention. In this paper, the performance of decision feedback equalizer (DFE) in PMD-limited 40-GB/s optical links is analyzed by using Matlab/Simulink. A simple equalizer circuit, in fold-cascade traveling-wave filter topology, is presented and the results based on S-parameter simulations show that a DFE equalizer consisting of a 3-tap feed forward equalizer (FFE) and a 2-tap feed back equalizer (FBE) can mitigate PMD effectively.

Conventional bead-based micro immunoassays do not guarantee high reliability because of the working principle for the trapping methods which cause inconsistency in trapping of cytometric beads. This paper presents a new bead-based micro immunoassay system for multiple or semicontinuous assays with high reliability and accuracy using hole-patterned structures and double-cladding optical fibers. Trapping test showed selective trapping of beads and consistency of the number of the trapped beads over repeated tests. Immunoassay using IL-6 showed that the cytometric beads were trapped in ordered fashion and provided a detection limit on the order of pg/ml.

We numerically investigate a new function modified from Hamming function to apply in weighting the waveguide structure of a mismatched optical coupler with the characteristics of low crosstalk, short length, and broad C+L-band. The full factorial design and beam propagation method are being used to seek the optimal structure parameters of coupling waveguide. This modified Hamming weighting function (M-HWF) is proved to have the superior performances to Hamming weighting function (HWF) in several ways. In theoretical computation, the M-HWF and HWF waveguides have the coupling lengths of 11 mm and 16 mm, respectively at crosstalk of −40 dB and operating wavelength of 1.57 µm. After the numerical design of waveguide structure parameters, the M-HWF also obtain a shorter coupling length of 4.50 mm than coupling length of 5.90 mm of HWF at crosstalk of −40 dB and within the C+L-band (1.53∼1.61 µm). The M-HWF waveguide with the shortest coupling length of 4.5 mm can even reach a broader bandwidth between 1.50 and 1.70 µm.

In this paper, we propose a colored multigraph model for the temporarily available wavelengths. Based on this colored multigraph model, a polynomial time algorithm with complexity O(N2) is also proposed to develop an integrated dynamic routing and wavelength assignment, where N is the number of nodes in a WDM network.

We report a radially polarized coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy to facilitate longitudinally oriented molecules detection. We demonstrate that combining both the radially and linearly polarized excitation schemes, CARS microscopy can be a very powerful tool for identifying the 3-D orientations of molecules with high sensitivity and chemical specificity.

A novel multiple-frequency Brillouin fiber-ring laser is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Based on this laser, the mechanism for the generation of high frequency microwave signal is proposed and partly realized. To confirm the feasibility of this method, a 11GHz microwave signal is obtained through the experiment.

A spectrometer is used to measure numerical aperture (NA) of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs), and the high-precision result is obtained. We get the NA at any wavelength in 500∼900nm range, which is determined by light source and spectrometer. The measured results and theoretical calculation value match very well.
