In OWC, a high number of optical access points (APs) is usually deployed on the ceiling of an indoor environment to serve multiple users with different demands. Despite the high data rates of OWC networks, due to the use of the optical band for data transmission, they cannot replace current radio frequency (RF) wireless networks where OWC has several issues including the small converge area of an optical AP, the lack of uplink transmission and high blockage probabilities. However, OWC has the potential to support the requirements in the next generation (6G) of wireless communications. In this context, heterogeneous optical/RF networks can be considered to overcome the limitations of OWC and RF systems, while providing a high quality of service in terms of achievable data rates and coverage. In this work, infrared lasers, vertical-cavity surface-emitting(VCSEL) lasers, are used as the key elements of optical APs for serving multiple users. Then, transmission schemes such as zero forcing (ZF) and blind interference alignment (BIA) are introduced to manage multi-user interference and maximize the sum rate of users. Moreover, a WiFi system is considered to provide uplink transmission and serve users that experience a low signal to noise ratio (SNR) from the optical system. To use the resources of the heterogeneous optical/RF network efficiently, we derive a utility-based objective function that aims to maximize the overall sum rate of the network. This complex problem can be solved using distributed algorithms to provide sub-optimal solutions with low complexity. The results show that the sum rate of the proposed hybrid network is higher than the standalone optical network, using different transmission schemes.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122655556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Full device simulation that accounts for the thermal tuning effect and the photonic characteristics of the whole integrated device is conducted to verify the characteristics of the tunable ODLs. With the simple racetrack resonator, the group delay can simply be tuned by changing the coupling coefficient of the resonator while the wavelength is stabilized by tuning the racetrack loop.

Due to low weight, low power consumption, and high resolution, the SPIDER telescope could replace the large space telescopes that exist today. Unlike traditional optical interferometry the SPIDER accurately retrieves both phase and amplitude information, making the measurement process analogous to a radio interferometer. State of the art sparse radio interferometric image reconstruction techniques have been gaining traction in radio astronomy and reconstruct accurate images of the radio sky. In this work we describe algorithms from radio interferometric imaging and sparse image reconstruction and demonstrate their application to the SPIDER concept telescope through simulated observation and reconstruction of the optical sky. Such algorithms are important for providing high fidelity images from SPIDER observations, helping to power the SPIDER concept for scientific and astronomical analysis.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114922810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus a rigorous derivation from Maxwell’s equations, and without any prior knowledge of the resonator type is needed. In this paper we derive temporal CMT of optical cavities coupled to waveguides. Starting from Maxwell’s equations and considering a proper expansion of the modes of the waveguide and resonator, and using mode orthogonality, the temporal CMT for this structure is obtained. We show that this formulation is general and can be applied to both traveling wave and standing wave type resonators.

In our approach, we consider the in-plane bend loss as the reference and approximate the loss curve as an exponential function decaying with bend diameter. For in-plane bends, we compute loss over the bend diameter range of 9.5−19.5 mm at 1550 nm wavelength. For helical bends, we perform experiments for the same range of bend diameters and pitch values of 2,4,5,7 and 10 mm. We extend the exponential function approximation to the experimental measurements of helically wound fibers and obtain an empirical formula to estimate the helical bend loss. We find that for a given bend diameter, the bend loss increases initially with the pitch, attains a maximum value and then decreases below the corresponding in-plane bend loss. We extend the empirical formula developed for a single fiber with a specific refractive index to evaluate the helical bend loss in another fiber. We conduct the in-plane bend loss experiments for the new fiber and repeat the exponential fit and obtain fit coefficients. We calculate the fit coefficients for different pitch values using empirical formula and predict the helical bend loss. We compare the predicted loss with corresponding experimental measurements, which are in good agreement.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123186853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
