Influence of the nonlinear propagation effect on the optical signal-to-noise ratio of 400G optical fiber communication systems

The influence of the nonlinear propagation effect on three 400 Gb/s/ch （400G） optical fiber communication systems with typical modulation formats, dual-carrier 16-quadrature amplitude modulation （16QAM）, single-carrier 16QAM （single-16QAM）, and four-carrier quadrature phase-shift keying, are investigated. The received optical signal-to-noise ratio （OSNR）, affected by the nonlinear interference noise together with the amplified spontaneous emission noise, are compared with three 400G systems and a standard 100 Gb/s/ch system by numerical simulations. Both single channel and multichannel cases are considered. Single-16QAM is found to have the best OSNR among those modulation formats.

With the continuous development of automotive intelligent networking and autonomous driving technologies,the number of in-vehicle electronic systems and applications is increasing rapidly.This change increases the amount of data to be transmitted in the vehicle and puts forward further requirements of higher speed and safety for in-vehicle communication.Traditional vehicle bus technologies are no longer sufficient to meet today’s high-speed transmission requirements,in which copper cables are used extensively,resulting in serious electromagnetic interference(EMI).Vehicle optical fiber communication technology,besides greatly improving the data transmission rate,has the advantages of anti-EMI,reducing cable space and vehicle mass.This paper first presents the motivation of applying vehicle optical fiber communication technology and reviews the development history of vehicle optical fiber communication technology.Then,the paper researches the devel-opment trend of automotive electrical and electronic architecture(EEA),from distributed EEA to domain centralized EEA and zone-oriented EEA.Based on the discussion of the development trend of automotive EEA,an EEA based on vehicle optical fiber communication technology is proposed.Finally,the key points and future directions of vehicle optical fiber communication technology research are highlighted,including vehicle multi-mode optical fiber technology,vehicle optical fiber network protocol,and topology.

Efficient stochastic parallel gradient descent training for on-chip optical processor

In recent years,space-division multiplexing(SDM)technology,which involves transmitting data information on multiple parallel channels for efficient capacity scaling,has been widely used in fiber and free-space optical communication sys-tems.To enable flexible data management and cope with the mixing between different channels,the integrated reconfig-urable optical processor is used for optical switching and mitigating the channel crosstalk.However,efficient online train-ing becomes intricate and challenging,particularly when dealing with a significant number of channels.Here we use the stochastic parallel gradient descent(SPGD)algorithm to configure the integrated optical processor,which has less com-putation than the traditional gradient descent(GD)algorithm.We design and fabricate a 6×6 on-chip optical processor on silicon platform to implement optical switching and descrambling assisted by the online training with the SPDG algorithm.Moreover,we apply the on-chip processor configured by the SPGD algorithm to optical communications for optical switching and efficiently mitigating the channel crosstalk in SDM systems.In comparison with the traditional GD al-gorithm,it is found that the SPGD algorithm features better performance especially when the scale of matrix is large,which means it has the potential to optimize large-scale optical matrix computation acceleration chips.

We propose a method of modulation format identification based on compressed sensing using a high-order cyclic cumulant combined with a binary tree classifier.Through computing the fourth-order cyclic cumulant of the pretreated band signal,which is obtained by compressed sensing with the sampling rate much less than the Nyquist sampling value,the feature vector for classification is extracted.Simulations are carried out in the optical coherent fiber communication system with different modulation formats of multiple phase-shift keying and multiple quadrature amplitude modulation.The results indicate that this method can identify these modulation formats correctly and efficiently.Meanwhile,the proposed method is insensitive to laser phase noise and signal noise.

Combined optical fiber interferometric sensors for the detection of acoustic emission

A type of combined optical fiber interferometric acoustic emission sensor is proposed. The sensor can be independent on the laser source and make light interference by matching the lengths of two arms,so it can be used to monitor the health of large structure. Theoretical analyses indicate that the system can be equivalent to the Michelson interferometer with two optical fiber loop reflectors,and its sensitivity has been remarkably increased because of the decrease of the losses of light energy. PZT is powered by DC regulator to control the operating point of the system,so the system can accurately detect feeble vibration which is generated by ultrasonic waves propagating on the surface of solid. The amplitude and the frequency of feeble vibration signal are obtained by detecting the output light intensity of interferometer and using Fourier transform technique. The results indicate that the system can be used to detect the acoustic emission signals by the frequency characteristics.
