Abstract:
Systems and methods for predicting performance of a modulation system are provided. A neural network model is trained using performance information of a source system. The neural network model is modified with transferable knowledge about a target system to be evaluated. The neural network model is tuned using specific characteristics of the target system to create a source-based target model. The target system performance is evaluated using the source-based target model to predict system performance of the target system.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for distributed acoustic sensing in a multicore optical fiber. The system includes a transmitter for simultaneously propagating a sequence of M light pulses through the multicore optical fiber using a spatial mode selected from a set of N spatial modes provided by a spatial mode selector for the transmitter that is coupled to an input to the multicore optical fiber, with M and N being respective integers greater than one. The system further includes a receiver for receiving the sequence of M light pulses at an output of the multicore optical fiber and detecting an environmental perturbation in the multicore optical fiber based on an evaluation of a propagation of the sequence of M light pulses through the multicore optical fiber.

Systems and methods for optical communication are disclosed that include communicating data using one or more transceiver pairs coupled to a spatial-multiplexer (S-MUX); performing bi-directional transmissions over an elliptical core optical fiber to a spatial-demultiplexer (S-DEMUX) using spatial modes to communicate data in either direction between two transceiver pairs with low crosstalk and without optical circulators or wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM); and communicating data from the S-DEMUX with g one or more transceiver pairs.
Abstract:
A system for centralized automatic bias control for a plurality of modulators, including a coupler for coupling output of each of the plurality of modulators to generate a combined modulator output. A pilot insertion device inserts a pilot tone into each of the plurality of modulators such that a different pilot tone frequency is inserted for each of the plurality of modulators. A monitoring device iteratively monitoring power (Pt) of each inserted pilot tone over time to determine whether a current modulator bias is optimal for each of the plurality of modulators, and an adjuster device iteratively adjusts the modulator bias for each of the plurality of modulators for which the current modulator bias is determined to be sub-optimal until a threshold condition has been met.
Abstract:
A method of wavelength conversion without polarization tracking is provided. A system is also provided that converts an input signal into an output signal of a different wavelength that contains all of the amplitude, phase, and polarization information of the original signal. The method includes separating, using a polarization-diversity optical mixer, an input optical signal of a first wavelength into a plurality of electrical signals containing amplitudes and phases while maintaining the polarization information of the input signal, converting each of the amplitudes and phases into individual photo-currents using a photo-diode, converting each of the output photo-currents into voltages using an amplifier, modulating the multitude of voltages to a second wavelength using a modulator, where the separated electrical signals are up-converted to generate an output optical signal that maintains the same amplitude, phase, and polarization information as was contained in the input signal.

The present invention is directed to a controller for generating ultra-wide band electrical signals for high data-rate single optical carrier transmission. The controller includes generating a digitally jointed baseband signal with radio frequency RF up-conversion to create optical dual side bands.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure directed to frequency drift compensation for coded-DAS systems that use chirped pulses as a probe signal. Our inventive approach estimates timing jitter by correlating the amplitude of the estimated Rayleigh impulse response of every frame with a reference frame, and then re-aligns each frame by the estimated timing jitter. As the amount of timing jitter varies within a frame, every frame is divided into blocks where all samples have similar timing jitter, and perform timing jitter estimation and compensation on a block-by-block, frame-by-frame basis using an overlap-and-save method. Tracking of a slowly changing channel is enabled by allowing the reference frame to be periodically updated.
