摘要:
An optical-wavelength interchanger element includes a branching section for bifurcating a wavelength-multiplexed input light signal having a multiplicity of an even number into first and second light signals. The interchanger element further includes a wavelength converting element for simultaneously converting wavelengths multiplexed in the first light signal so as to output a third light signal. The interchanger element further includes a transmission path for sending the second light signal therethrough without converting wavelengths multiplexed in the second light signal. The interchanger element further includes a joining section for combining the third light signal and the second light signal so as to output a wavelength-multiplexed output light signal. The interchanger elements may be connected in series in plural stages so as to form an optical-wavelength interchanger device.

A wavelength conversion device includes a wavelength conversion element. The wavelength conversion element includes a ridge waveguide layer made of nonlinear optical crystals as being a zinc-blend material. The waveguide layer is provided on a GaAs substrate made of the zinc-blend material. The waveguide layer is made of InGaAsP and interposed between clad layers made of InGaP. With this arrangement, signal light and pumping light are incident upon the wavelength conversion element (DFG or SFG element) while the pumping light is fixed in a TE polarization direction. Alternatively, the signal light may be fixed in the TE polarization direction.

An encoder system for encoding a signal according to any number of FEC and/or channel codes comprises a shift register, an array of MOD/XOR stages, and a generator matrix stage for controlling the connections between the shift register and the MOD/XOR stages and altering these connections according to a coding format selected by an encoder selection stage. There is also disclosed a decoder system for decoding a signal encoded according to a number of FEC and/or channel codes comprising a decoding stage, and a generator matrix stage for configuring the decoding stage to a decoding code format to be applied an incoming encoded signal. A decoder selection stage is coupled to the generator matrix stage and selects the decoding code format to be used in the decoding process. The decoder selection stage instructs the generator matrix stage to configure the decoding stage according to the selected decoding code format. There is also disclosed a method for encoding and decoding.

A method of estimating the reliability of decoded message bits in a digital communications system is proposed. Message and tail bits are coded and transmitted across a communications channel. The coded message and tail bits are then decoded and it is determined that the decoded message bits have no error when the decoded tail bits have at least one error.

A wavelength conversion device employs an axicon lens to form Bessel beams of signal light and pump light, which are directed into an anisotropic nonlinear optical crystal. The signal light and pump light are both polarized parallel to the uniquely determined Z-axis of the anisotropic nonlinear optical crystal, the Z-axis being oriented perpendicular to the beam axis. The axicon lens is configured to refract the signal light and pump light at angles such that a phase matching condition is satisfied in the anisotropic nonlinear optical crystal, and converted light, also polarized parallel to the Z-axis and having a new wavelength, is generated.

A crystal poling apparatus has as ingle-domain ferroelectric substrate (e.g. MgO doped LiNbO3 substrate), a sample holder, a high voltage source, a corona torch, a gas source, a chamber, and at least one vacuum pump. An electrode with a certain structure (e.g. a periodical pattern) is formed on the first surface of the substrate, and the substrate is set with the electrode facing down on top of the sample holder. The electrode is grounded so that high electric field is formed in the area with electrode due to the formation of charges generated by the corona torch on the second surface of the substrate. The charge distribution on the second surface of the substrate is controlled by the high voltage source and the gas source. To achieve the optimized crystal poling, the temperature of the substrate is set by the temperature controller, and the electrode on the first surface of the substrate is isolated by the vacuum pump.

A receiver for a HARQ communication system includes a buffer for storing a signal derived from a message. The signal is transmitted to the receiver at a first coding rate. The receiver also includes a decoder which accepts signals having a second coding rate, and a rate dematcher which converts signals from the first coding rate to the second coding rate. The rate dematcher is arranged to process either a combination of the received signals (in the case that the received signals are noisy versions of identical signals transmitted within the communications network) or simply the set of received signals. In either case, the dematcher forwards the results to the decoder. Provided that the second coding rate is lower than the first coding rate, the amount of memory required by the buffer is reduced by locating the buffer before the rate dematching unit.
摘要:
A communications system employs a HARQ method and, for at least some transmission formats, incremental redundancy (IR) signals. For such formats, the multiple IR signals are derived from a single turbo encoded signal by forming multiple permutations of the encoded signal. The permutations are then converted to the coding rate of the selected transmission format. It is demonstrated by simulation that the present proposal achieves a better performance than the known HARQ techniques, while its implementation is simpler. For certain transmission formats, the transmitted signal in response to a retransmission request is identical to the first transmitted signal.
摘要:
Multipath interference in a received wireless signal is cancelled by generating an estimated duplicate of the interference and subtracting it from the received signal. The interference duplication is performed in a truncated manner, based on a determination of which multipath signals are present, so as to reduce the complexity and processing requirement of the interference duplication. In particular, the present invention proposed that the truncation is based on a determination of which multipath signals are present, and the properties of those signals. In a first case, the truncation is that only interference between selected pairs of paths are cancelled in MPIC. In a second case, for given pairs of paths cancellation is only performed for a subset of the chips in which the corresponding two paths can cause interference.
