Paper accepted in IEEE PHOTONICS TECHNOLOGY LETTERS DOI:10.1109/LPT.2024.3504841https://lnkd.in/emep8SRV The UNICO team is happy to announce the publication of the paper “2×53 Gbit/s PAM-4 Transmission Using 1.3 μm DML with High Power Budget Enabled by Quantum-Dot SOA” in IEEE Photonics Technology Letters. The massive growth in the digital economy continues to require the development of new technologies to increase data rates, while reducing the energy consumption of the optical communication systems that form the backbone of the internet. This collaborative work between industry and academic partners in Ireland and Germany demonstrates that by combining a high speed directly modulated laser which has excellent efficiency, with an efficient quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifier, we can develop high capacity and energy efficient data transmission systems. Specifically the use of a directly modulated laser instead of external modulation greatly reduces the system loss, and the ability to amplify a multiwavelength signal with a single SOA minimises energy consumption per bit while ensuring the ability to operate the transmission link over significant distances. #biterrorrate, #BER, #SOA, #fiber, #datatransmission, #PAM4, #NRZ, #Opticalfibers, #Opticalsaturation, #Opticalfibercommunication, #Opticalfiberamplifiers, #Gain, #Opticaltransmitters, #Opticalfibersensors, #Opticaldistortion, #Adaptiveoptics

Microwave Photonics Systems has unveiled a new range of microwave fibre optic transmitters which utilise a ground-breaking electric-to-optical conversion technology. This innovative technology, along with MPS’s specialized RF circuits, significantly reduces system noise while also decreasing the physical size and cost of the converters. The MP-9000-22 model is designed for RF signals up to 22 GHz, and the MP-9000-40 model supports signals up to 40 GHz. These transmitters are particularly suited for high-density applications, including phased arrays, aerospace, and dense wavelength division multiplexing. Have I missed any advantages of using fibre optic transmitters in high-frequency RF applications compared to traditional electronic transmission methods? #RF #Transmitters #FibreOptic #MPS #Semiconductor #Analog #Digital

Radiofrequency (RF) switches are electronic components that control the routing of RF signals between different segments of circuits, for instance turning the signals on and off or redirecting them.

MEMS optical switches in all-optical networks AON, All Optical Network, means that the network transmission and switching processes are all realized through optical fibers, that is, the transmission process of data from the source node to the destination node is all carried out in the optical domain, and electrical/optical and optical/electrical conversion are only performed when entering and exiting the network. . Because there is no need to implement electro-optical and photoelectric conversion, the network speed can be greatly improved. The main technologies of all-optical networks include optical fiber technology, SDH, WDM, optical switching technology, OXC, passive optical network technology, fiber amplifier technology, etc. Among the various equipment and components of all-optical networks, OXC and OADM can be said to be the core device technologies of all-optical networking. Optical switches and optical switch arrays are the core technologies of OXC and OADM. The new optical switch produced using MEMS technology is small in size, light in weight, and low in energy consumption. It is compatible with large-scale integrated circuit manufacturing processes, is easy to mass produce, integrates, and expands, and is conducive to cost reduction. xionghua photoelectric supplies multi-channel matrix optical switches, 4x4, 8x8, 16x16, 24x24, 32x32 and other higher channel optical switches. #xhphotoelectric #MEMS #opticalswitch #optics #photonics #OXC #WDM Read more https://lnkd.in/ggDAmuQT
