A water droplet weight sensor based on Maher-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) cascaded Bowknot Type Taper (BTT) was proposed. MZI consists of two BTTs, and the interval between two BTTs is 2 cm. In this paper, we record the time when the fluid pumped with a peristaltic pump flows through two BTTS, and then drops a droplet into the liquid tube with a needle tubing meanwhile recording the time of the fluid flowing through the two BTTS. All the time can be obtained from the optical spectrum analyzer. Therefore, the volume of the droplet is equal to the velocity of the peristaltic pump multiplied by the cross section area of the liquid tube and the time difference between the two experiments. The weight of the droplet can be easily obtained, as long as we know its density. By measuring the time change of droplet with different weight, this method can be used to determine the droplet weight in the range of 0 ~ 200mg.

Waveguides made of hyperbolic metamaterials have unique properties such as extremely high field enhancement. Here we show that hyperbolic slot waveguides, i.e., nanoscale plasmonic slot waveguides cladded by hyperbolic metamaterials can have greatly enhanced Kerr nonlinear effects at even shorter device lengths and lower pump power compared with the conventional metallic slot waveguides. This result points to novel nanoscale waveguide designs for achieving low-driving-power and compact nonlinear nanophotonic devices that are used in diverse applications at both classical and quantum levels.

We propose a hybrid probabilistic-geometric-shaped (HPGS) 8-PAM signaling scheme, as a candidate suitable for data centers’ communications. The properly chosen HPGS 8-PAM parameters for different SNR-regions allows us to closely approach the Shannon limit. We demonstrate that LPDC-coded HPGS 8-PAM outperforms both probabilistic-shaped and uniform LDPC-coded 8-PAM schemes.

we have designed a reflector based on the hexagonal lattice of circular two-dimensional subwavelength gratings (2D SWG), which characterize high-reflectivity, polarization-independence and the ability of focusing. The focusing reflector has designed on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer to apply in mushroom-mesa photodetector to increase bandwidth as well as efficiency simultaneously. The focusing reflector with a diameter of 16um and a focal length of 6μm has been designed, which achieves normal incident light focusing at wavelength 1550nm.

A simple and efficient method based on discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to generate Nyquist signal is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in a bandwidth-limited VLC-SCFDE system. Compared to the conventional Nyquist signal shaping, the proposed method can obtain a low computation complexity as well as a significant BER performance improvement in the bandwidth-limited VLC-SCFDE system.

In this paper, we experimentally compared the performance of bit-loading discrete multi-tone (DMT) signal and discrete-Fourier-transform spread (DFT-Spread) DMT signal with pre-equalization in Intensity Modulation with Direct Detection (IM-DD) system. We first experimentally demonstrated that the bit error ratio (BER) of DFT-Spread DMT signal with optimized Quadric Curve (QC) fitting-based pre-equalization outperforms Zero-Forcing based pre-equalization in O-band over 20-km transmission utilizing directly modulated laser (DML). We also experimentally demonstrated that DFT-Spread DMT signal with optimized QC fitting pre-equalization shows better BER performance than bit-loading DMT signal in 95Gbit/s signal transmission with 19GHz bandwidth. The BER of bit-loading DMT signal and DFT-Spread DMT signal with optimized QC fitting pre-equalization after 20-km SSMF transmission at -1 dBm received optical power (ROP) are 5.8×10-3 and 1.8×10-3, respectively.
本文通过实验比较了位加载离散多音(DMT)信号和预均衡离散-傅立叶变换扩频(dft -扩频)DMT信号在直接检测强度调制(IM-DD)系统中的性能。我们首先通过实验证明,在直接调制激光(DML)的20公里传输中,基于优化的二次曲线(QC)拟合预均衡的DFT-Spread DMT信号的误码率(BER)优于基于零强迫的0波段预均衡。实验结果表明,在19GHz带宽下,采用优化QC拟合预均衡的DFT-Spread DMT信号在95Gbit/s的传输中,其误码率优于单位DMT信号。以-1 dBm接收光功率(ROP)传输20 km SSMF后,位加载DMT信号和优化QC拟合预均衡DMT信号的误码率分别为5.8×10-3和1.8×10-3。
