High-speed MDM-Ro-FSO system by incorporating spiral-phased Hermite Gaussian modes

In the wake of growing challenges of dispersing communication services in rural areas, Radio over Free Space (Ro-FSO) is a useful technology that can carry heterogeneous services. This work focuses on transmitting two independent channels, each carrying 2.5 Gbps data and 10 GHz radio signal, by utilizing mode-division multiplexing (MDM) of two spiral-phased Hermite Gaussian modes (HG00 and HG01) free space optical (FSO) link. It also evaluates the performance of the proposed Ro-FSO system under the impact of beam divergence and various atmospheric turbulences such as moderate fog and heavy fog.     

Solid core PCF-based mode selector for MDM-Ro-FSO transmission systems

Radio-over-free-space (Ro-FSO) technology is a combination of free-space optics (FSO) and radio over fiber. It plays a significant role in radio-frequency signal transmission in mobile network communication through high-speed optical carrier without any licensing and costly cables. Photonic crystal fibers also play a significant role to deliver data at faster rate for short haul communication. This paper, for the first time to the author’s best knowledge, utilizes mode division multiplexing in conjunction with solid core PCFs to transmit \(2 \times 2.5\) Gbps–5 GHz data over 2.5 km free-space link. The results are reported in terms of bit error rate, spatial profiles of received modes, mode spectrum of modes and eye diagrams. Furthermore, proposed PCF-MDM-Ro-FSO transmission system is also reported under the impact of atmospheric turbulences.     

Density-matrix-formalism based scheme for polarization mode dispersion monitoring and compensation in optical fiber communication systems

We propose a density-matrix-formalism based scheme to study polarization mode dispersion (PMD) monitoring and compensation in optical fiber communication systems. Compared to traditional monitoring and compensation schemes based on the PMD vector in the Stokes space, the scheme we proposed requires no auxiliary matrices and can be handily extended to any higher-dimensional modal space, which is advantageous in mode-division multiplexing (MDM) systems. A 28 GBaud polarization division multiplexing quadrature phase-shift keying (PDM-QPSK) coherent simulation system is built to demonstrate that our scheme can implement the monitoring and compensation of 170 ps large differential-group-delay (DGD) that far exceeds the typical DGDs in practical optical communication systems. The results verify the effectiveness of the density-matrix-formalism based scheme in PMD monitoring and compensation, thus pave the way for further applications of the scheme in more general MDM optical communication systems.     

MIMO-enabled integrated MGDM–WDM distributed antenna system architecture based on plastic optical fibers for millimeter-wave communication

Design of a low-cost fiber–wireless communication architecture is desirable by network operators. Therefore, we demonstrate the transmission of \(2 \times 2\) MIMO spatial streams, each having 2 Gbps DPSK signal to two different radio access units (RAUs) in a distributed antenna system architecture. The proposed architecture employs mode group division multiplexing in combination with wavelength division multiplexing to transport RF DPSK signals centered at 10 GHz. The RF signals are used to modulate optical carriers that are centered at 1300 nm and transmitted toward the RAUs over perfluorinated graded-index plastic optical fiber. Heterodyne detection is performed at the RAUs to transmit mm-wave signals at 60 GHz to the end users. Furthermore, wireline access is also achieved at each RAU to support simplex services. A cost-efficient multiple wavelength source is generated from a single laser by employing a dual-drive Mach–Zehnder modulator. An increase in multiplexing gain is achieved using the two LP modes, LP01 and LP11, of each generated wavelength. The proposed architecture gives acceptable BER results for practical implementation.

Numerical analysis of intermodal delay in few-mode fibers for mode division multiplexing in optical fiber communication systems

In order to achieve higher spectral efficiency, mode division multiplexing (MDM) in few-mode fibers is a new research area. The idea faces lots of technical issues including intermodal delay and mode coupling which limit the achievable length of the system. This paper is designated to complete the analysis of intermodal delay in step-index few-mode fibers. We analyze numerically all the parameters of fiber, which could impact intermodal delay in few-mode fibers and identify the conditions which can increase the number of multiplex modes without significant increase in maximum intermodal delay.     

Coherence-Multiplexed Optical RF Feeder Networks

An optical RF feeding system for wireless access is proposed, in which the radio access points are distinguished by means of coherence multiplexing (CM). CM is a rather unknown and potentially inexpensive optical code division multiple access technique, which is particularly suitable for relatively short-range applications with moderate transmission bandwidth requirements. Subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) can possibly be used on top of CM, either as single-channel or multichannel SCM. The performances of the resulting distribution networks are analyzed, incorporating the effect of chromatic dispersion, optical beat noise, shot noise, thermal noise, and-in the case of multichannel SCM-intermodulation distortion. The results of the analyses are illustrated by using numerical examples, based on the IEEE 802.11b standard for wireless LAN.

PONIARD: A Programmable Optical Networking Infrastructure for Advanced Research and Development of Future Internet

Motivated by the design goals of Global Environment for Network Innovation (GENI), we consider how to support the slicing of link bandwidth resources as well as the virtualization of optical access networks and optical backbone mesh networks.

Performance analysis of mode division multiplexing based free space optics system incorporating on–off keying and polarization shift keying under dynamic environmental conditions

In this paper, we propose a novel mode division multiplexing (MDM) based FSO transmission system incorporating polarization shift keying (PolSK) to enhance the information carrying capacity of the system. Using numerical simulations, we report the transmission of two independent 40 Gbps information signals using distinct Laguerre Gaussian modes up to an FSO transmission reach of 90 km under the influence of clear environmental conditions using the proposed system. Further, the influence of different environmental conditions such as rain, haze, and fog on the performance of the proposed link using bit error rate as performance metrics has also been investigated in this paper. Also, we report a comparative analysis of PolSK and on–off keying modulation formats in the proposed MDM-FSO link under the same environmental conditions. The simulation results show that under different weather conditions, PolSK based MDM-FSO transmission system demonstrates better performance.
