A 330-W single-frequency retrievable multi-tone monolithic fiber amplifier

A single-frequency retrievable phase modulated multi-tone fiber amplifier is presented in theory and demonstrated in experiment. A multi-tone seed laser generated by a sine wave phase modulated single-frequency laser is employed for stimulated Brillouin scattering suppression in an all-fiber amplifier. A demodulation signal which is π phase shifted with respect to the modulation signal is used to retrieve the single-frequency laser from the multi-tone laser. In experiment, we first optimize the all-fiber master-oscillator power-amplifier. With this amplifier, we demonstrate a single-frequency retrievable multi-tone laser with 330-W output when driven by the multi-tone seed, while the ultimate output power is only 130 W when driven by the single-frequency laser. Then, we carry out an experiment for retrieving the single-frequency laser from the amplified multi-tone laser. Results indicate that the single-frequency laser can be retrieved with a sideband suppression of more than 20 dB. Retrieving an even higher power single-frequency laser is possible if a high power demodulator is available.

Design of inductive coupling channel analysis system based on LabVIEW

Inductive coupling transmission system is an important measurement device for acquiring and transmitting marine environmental information.However,low transmission rate cannot meet the current demand for large data transmission in marine environment detection at home.In order to improve the transmission performance of the system in practical communication system,optimizing the design by directly changing the circuit parameters is time-consuming and expensive.Therefore,a set of inductive coupling transmission channel analysis system is designed based on virtual instrument to improve the transmission rate and reliability of inductive coupling transmission system.The bit error rate of channel system at different frequency and noise levels are tested by using three kinds of digital modulation mode including amplitude shift keying(ASK),frequency shift keying(FSK)and differential phase shift keying(DPSK),taking square wave and sine wave as a carrier.Finally,the sine wave is selected to be carrier signal and DPSK is chosen to be modulation mode.The reliable transmission of signal with the error rate less than0.005and the transmission rate of9600bps,at the noise level of-10dB,is realized and verified by the debugging circuit experiments with multi-nodes in the laboratory.The study provides an important experimental evidence for improving signal transmission reliability of inductive coupling transmission system.

High efficiency spreading spectrum modulation using double orthogonal complex sequences

This paper presents a novel scheme of high efficiency spreading spectrum modulation using double orthogonal complex sequences （DoCS）. In this scheme, input data bit-stream is split into many groups with length M. Each group is then mapped into a word of width M and then utihzed to select one sequence from 2u-2 DoCS sequences each with length L. After that, the selected sequence is modulated on carrier in quadrature phase shift keying （QPSK） mode. In addition, a new method named forward phase correction （FPC） is put forward for carrier recovery. Theoretical analysis and bit-error-ratio（BER） experiment results indicate that the proposed scheme has better performance than the conventional direct sequence spread spectrum（DSSS） scheme both in bandwidth efficiency and processing gain of the receiver.

Symbol detection based on Voronoi surfaces with emphasis on superposition modulation

A challenging task when applying high-order digital modulation schemes is the complexity of the detector. Particularly, the complexity of the optimal a posteriori probability （APP） detector increases exponentially with respect to the number of bits per data symbol. This statement is also true for the Max-Log-APP detector, which is a common simplification of the APP detector. Thus it is important to design new detection algorithms which combine a sufficient performance with low complexity. In this contribution, a detection algorithm for two- dimensional digital modulation schemes which cannot be split-up into real and imaginary parts （like phase shift keying and phase-shifted snperposition modulation （PSM）） is proposed with emphasis on PSM with equal power allocation. This algorithm exploits the relationship between Max-Log-APP detection and a Voronoi diagram to determine planar surfaces of the soft outputs over the entire range of detector input values. As opposed to state-of-the-art detectors based on Voronoi surfaces, a priori information is taken into account, enabling iterative processing. Since the algorithm achieves Max-Log-APP performance, even in the presence of a priori information, this implies a great potential for complexity reduction compared to the classical APP detection.

Micro EEG/ECG signal's chopper-stabilization amplifying chip for novel drycontact electrode

Facing the body＇s EEG（electroencephalograph, 0.5–100 Hz, 5–100 μV） and ECG＇s（electrocardiogram,〈 100 Hz, 0.01–5 mV） micro signal detection requirement, this paper develops a pervasive application micro signal detection ASIC chip with the chopping modulation/demodulation method. The chopper-stabilization circuit with the RRL（ripple reduction loop） circuit is to suppress the ripple voltage, which locates at the single-stage amplifier＇s outputting terminal. The single-stage chopping core＇s noise has been suppressed too, and it is beneficial for suppressing noises of post-circuit. The chopping core circuit uses the PFB（positive feedback loop） to increase the inputting resistance, and the NFB（negative feedback loop） to stabilize the 40 dB intermediate frequency gain. The cascaded switch-capacitor sample/hold circuit has been used for deleting spike noises caused by non-ideal MOS switches, and the VGA/BPF（voltage gain amplifier/band pass filter） circuit is used to tune the chopper system＇s gain/bandwidth digitally. Assisted with the designed novel dry-electrode, the real test result of the chopping amplifying circuit gives some critical parameters： 8.1 μW/channel, 0.8 μVrms（@band-widthD100 Hz）, 4216–11220 times digitally tuning gain range, etc. The data capture system uses the NI CO＇s data capturing DAQmx interface,and the captured micro EEG/ECG＇s waves are real-time displayed with the PC-Labview. The proposed chopper system is a unified EEG/ECG signal＇s detection instrument and has a critical real application value.

PDM-DPSK-MPPM hybrid modulation for multi-hop free-space optical communication

A hybrid polarization division multiplexed-differential phase shift keying-multipulse pulse position modulation(PDM-DPSK-MPPM) scheme for multi-hop free-space optical(FSO) communication is investigated. The analytical bit error rate(BER) of the proposed system in Gamma-Gamma turbulence channels is derived and verified using computer simulation. The results show that both multi-hop and hybrid modulation schemes are efficient techniques to improve the performance of FSO links. Compared with the traditional binary phase shift keying(BPSK) and MPPM, the hybrid scheme can improve the bandwidth-utilization efficiency and reliability of the system. Compared with the coherent demodulation of PDM-QPSK-MPPM, the system complexity is reduced at the cost of the degradation of BER performance, which can improve the practicality of hybrid modulation technology in FSO system.
