Fibre optics and optical communications
Integrated optics

Mode-division multiplexing (MDM) in optical fibers enables multichannel capabilities for various applications, including data transmission, quantum networks, imaging, and sensing. However, high-dimensional optical fiber systems, usually necessity bulk-optics approaches for launching different orthogonal fiber modes into the optical fiber, and multiple-input multiple-output digital electronic signal processing at the receiver to undo the arbitrary mode scrambling introduced by coupling and transmission in a multi-mode fiber. Here we show that a high-dimensional optical fiber communication system can be implemented by a reconfigurable integrated photonic processor, featuring kernels of multichannel mode multiplexing transmitter and all-optical descrambling receiver. Effective mode management can be achieved through the configuration of the integrated optical mesh. Inter-chip MDM optical communications involving six spatial- and polarization modes was realized, despite the presence of unknown mode mixing and polarization rotation in the circular-core optical fiber. The proposed photonic integration approach holds promising prospects for future space-division multiplexing applications.

Arbitrarily routed mode-division multiplexed photonic circuits for dense integration

On-chip silicon photonic controllable 2 × 2 four-mode waveguide switch

Introduction.

The spatial dimension of optical fibers remains an untapped resource for enhancing their information-transmission capacity 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . Space-division multiplexing (SDM), whereby multiple data signals are multiplexed into different spatial channels, has attracted much research interest, including the use of multiple single-mode cores sharing a common cladding or multiple orthogonal modes in a multi-mode optical fiber. SDM fiber can thus be classified into multi-core fiber (MCF), few-mode fiber (FMF), and multi-mode fiber (MMF) 1 , 5 , 6 . However, leveraging the spatial dimension of optical fibers can be very challenging, particularly when higher-order modes are involved in an FMF or MMF for mode-division multiplexing (MDM) systems. Two major challenges are associated with MDM optical fiber systems, including the lack of low-cost and scalable mode (de)multiplexers that can generate or decouple multiple orthogonal fiber modes and the substantial energy consumption and large time latency needed to descramble mixed optical signals through electronic digital signal processing (DSP) 7 .

Previous approaches for implementing mode (de)multiplexers include the use of optical phase plates 8 , 9 , spatial light modulators (SLMs) 10 , or multi-plane light conversion (MPLC) 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 . Although substantial advancements have been achieved in fiber-based photonic lanterns or laser-inscribed waveguides 5 , 6 , 15 , a compact and low-cost approach is desired, especially for short-reach optical communications within data centers where cost and footprint are crucial factors. Moreover, even in the absence of any disturbances, when light travels through a circular-core MMF, various speckle patterns can be formed due to differing dephasing conditions between the fiber eigenmodes 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 . Consequently, the one-by-one mapping of fiber modes between the transmitter side and the receiver side becomes challenging. Complex speckle patterns at the fiber end can cause significant and unknown scrambling of the information encoded on different orthogonal fiber modes. Rectangular-core FMFs have thus been proposed to break rotational symmetry and prevent spatial degeneracy 18 , 19 . However, inter-mode coupling can also occur due to factors such as fiber non-uniformity, sharp bending, mechanical misalignment of fiber splices, or imperfect mode (de)multiplexers. Essentially, the information is not lost, but separating the arbitrarily mixed signals in a high-dimensional fiber system presents a significant challenge. Previous studies have demonstrated that this issue can be effectively addressed through coherent communications and digital electronic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processing 8 , 20 . However, this method, originally designed for wireless communications, requires extremely high-speed digital circuits for optical fiber communications. The resulting high power consumption and large time latency at high data rates become concerns. Moreover, increasing the number of spatial channels would also rapidly increase the dimensionality of the MIMO equalizer, thereby further increasing DSP complexity and impeding its potential utilization 21 .

By transforming the 2D field profile of the optical fiber into the planar waveguide modes on the integrated photonic chip, such as through grating couplers 17 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , photonic processors present a promising alternative technology for managing the high-dimensional optical fiber system, especially on the silicon photonics platform, which offers low-cost, high-volume manufacturing with CMOS compatibility 27 , 28 , 29 . The high refractive index contrast of the silicon photonics platform enables ultra-compact confinement of optical field for high-density and multichannel optical input/output (I/O) 17 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 . Meanwhile, integrated coherent optical mesh has been demonstrated for implementing arbitrary matrix transformations in optical neural networks 30 , 31 , 32 , reconfigurable signal processors 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , free-space and on-chip beam separation 37 , 38 , 39 , and quantum networks 40 , 41 . By integrating multimode optical I/O and optical matrix processing on the same chip, photonic processors have the potential to offer an enabling technology for MDM optical fiber systems.

In this work, we developed a reconfigurable integrated photonic processor capable of selectively launching and separating orthogonal optical fiber modes. High-dimensional chip-to-chip optical fiber communications can be directly achieved with a two-mode FMF involving the full set of six LP modes, including LP 01-x , LP 01-y , LP 11a-x , LP 11a-y , LP 11b-x , and LP 11b-y . Selective mode excitation in the optical fiber is performed at the transmitter side using an efficient and multimode optical I/O. To address the unknown mode scrambling and polarization rotation after fiber transmission at the receiver end, a reconfigurable Mach Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based optical mesh is employed to apply inverse matrix transformations of the optical fiber and function as an all-optical MIMO descrambler. A high-dimensional optical fiber communication system managed by the integrated silicon photonic processor is experimentally demonstrated.

Integrated photonic processor design

Figure 1a illustrates the high-dimensional optical fiber communication system enabled by the silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The optical modes in a circular-core FMF can be described by eigenmodes with a rigorous vectorial treatment of the wave equation in cylindrical coordinates. LP mode, shown in Fig. 1b , is a description often used for the linearly polarized superposition of fiber eigenmodes. At the transmitter side, the chip-to-fiber coupling is realized by an efficient and multimode 2D grating coupler, as depicted by Fig. 1c . By controlling the relative phase delay between the two counter-propagating quasi-transverse-electric (TE) modes on chip, all the six spatial and polarization channels in a two-mode FMF can be selectively launched, including LP 01-x , LP 01-y , LP 11a-x , LP 11a-y , LP 11b-x , and LP 11b-y . The design of the multimode grating coupler and the selective mode launching are explained in Supplementary Note 1 . It is worth noting that although selective decoupling is desired at the receiver side, this can only happen when the fiber LP modes are of high modal purity and polarizations are accurately aligned. In reality, LP mode deformation and polarization rotation are inevitable in a circular-core FMF, which results in an unpredictable field pattern arriving at the coupling end between the fiber and the photonic chip 16 , 17 , 18 . For example, upon launching the LP 11a mode into the FMF from the transmitter side, the resulting speckle pattern typically manifests as a linear combination of all LP 11 spatial and polarization modes, which undergo continuous mixing along propagation in the optical fiber, as illustrated in Fig. 1a . This is due to the fact that LP modes are essentially formed by linear combinations of the fiber eigenmodes with varying interference conditions. Nevertheless, the proposed 2D multimode grating coupler can support all the six eigenmodes in a two-mode FMF, which allows non-selective decoupling of the multimode optical signals into the eight single-mode channels on chip. The transmission matrix of the multimode grating coupler at the receiver side can thus be denoted by an 8 by 6 matrix A 8×6 . Efficient chip-to-fiber and fiber-to-chip coupling can be obtained with a small mode-dependent loss, as shown by the simulation results in Figure S2. In order to mitigate the unknown inter-modal signal mixing, a reconfigurable optical mesh with a dimensionality of eight can be programmed to apply the inverse transformation of the fiber transmission matrix, thereby recovering the six orthogonal channels permitted in the two-mode FMF. The transformation matrix M from the transmitter to the receiver can be formulated as follows:

where U(8) and U(6) denote the transformation matrix of the unitary optical mesh and the two-mode FMF, respectively. The transformation matrix of the multimode grating coupler at the transmitter side can be expressed as the pseudo-inverse of the receiver side, denoted as pinv (A) 6×8 . A comprehensive explanation of the matrix operations of the photonic processor is included in Supplementary Note 2 . In this demonstration, a unitary optical mesh U(8) is utilized, taking advantage of the low channel-dependent loss of the multimode grating coupler. More complex optical meshes would be necessary to improve the system performance with severe loss difference or differential mode group delay 42 , 43 , 44 .

Figure 2a shows the scanning electron microscope image of the 2D grating coupler with 70-nm shallowly etched circular holes. The experimental coupling loss spectra of LP 01 , LP 11a , and LP 11b in the two orthogonal polarizations for a two-mode FMF are measured and presented in Fig. 2b . The x-polarized LP 01 , LP 11a , and LP 11b exhibit a peak experimental efficiency of −3.5 dB, −6.1 dB, and −4.3 dB at 1532 nm, 1517 nm, and 1515 nm respectively. As the 2D grating utilizes a symmetric structure, similar coupling efficiencies for the y-polarized modes can be obtained, measuring −3.9 dB at 1527 nm for LP 01y , −3.9 dB at 1517 nm for LP 11a-y , and −6.1 dB at 1525 nm for LP 11b-y , respectively. To validate the selective launching of the six LP modes through the multimode grating coupler, the diffracted optical field of the grating is captured using a 10× microscope objective and an infrared camera, as depicted in Fig. 2c . Table S1 summarizes a comparison of the reported multimode optical I/O for two-mode circular-core FMFs. The diagram of the photonic processor at the receiver side is shown in Fig. 2d . It includes a multimode grating coupler, tapered asymmetric directional couplers (ADCs), MZI-based linear unitary matrix, and eight output single-mode grating couplers. The 8 × 8 triangular optical mesh is formed by 28 tunable MZIs, as depicted in Fig. 2e . Figure 2f shows the microscopic image of the wire-bonded photonic processor at the receiver end. The total footprint of the photonic integrated circuits is 8.5 mm × 1.8 mm.

Mode descrambling experiment

With various fiber modes selectively launched, the FMF is directly bridged with the photonic chip at the receiver side. Figure 3a shows the experimental setup for mode descrambling with a 5-meter FMF using the integrated photonic processor. Because of the mode deformation and polarization rotation, the received speckle pattern at the fiber-to-chip end is uncertain, which results in a random and unknown received optical power distribution entering the optical mesh. A fiber array unit (FAU) and multichannel power meter are used to monitor the optical power from the eight output ports of the optical mesh. The photograph of the photonic chip mounted on a printed circuit board at the received side under test is presented in Fig. 3b . A thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is used for thermal stabilization of the integrated photonic processor. The detailed optical loss breakdown of the optical system is summarized in Supplementary Note 3 . In the experiment, we have employed multichannel source measurement units (SMUs) and the particle-swarm optimization 45 algorithm to optimize the drive voltage of phase shifters within the optical mesh U(8) . The figure-of-merits has been defined as the minimum crosstalk suppression between the target output port and the other output ports. Once an acceptable solution is identified or the maximum number of iterations is reached, the optimization algorithm terminates and locks the unscrambling status by fine-tuning the driving voltage of each phase shifter inside the optical mesh.

Figure 3c presents the evolution of normalized optical power from eight output ports during configuration. It is evident that after around 120 iterations, selective decoupling can be configured with a maximum crosstalk level suppression of ≥21.3 dB. Through the same experimental setup, six channels, including the two orthogonal polarizations of the LP 01 , LP 11a , and LP 11b modes are selectively launched and decoupled with transmission matrices bar chart summarized in Fig. 3d . The initial power randomization for all fiber modes can be configured to different output ports, with experimental power isolation ratios all above 15.2 dB. Different routing schemes of fiber modes are also implemented to validate the configurability of our photonic processor, showing a similar performance as depicted by Fig. 3e . Temperature sensitivity of the integrated photonic processor is also evaluated. When the temperature variation is kept below 2.5 °C, the increase in inter-modal crosstalk can be limited to 3 dB. The optical mesh can be reconfigured to avoid crosstalk degradation, highlighting the need for real-time configuration in the future.

MDM optical fiber communications

To evaluate the high-speed communication performance of the reconfigurable photonic processor, 32 Gbps non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signals are generated at the transmitter side by a bit pattern generator (BPG) and an external LiNO 3 Mach-Zehnder modulator. The pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) has a period length of 2 15 –1. Because the single-mode grating coupler array in this work is also centered at 1535 nm with a coupling loss of about –4.5 dB. The communication system is operated at 1530 nm to reduce the transmission loss and mode-dependent loss while within the working wavelength range of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier. The experimental setup using the integrated photonic processor to selectively launch and decouple various LP mode carrying optical signals is shown in Figure S4a . After configuring an integrated photonic processor, various orthogonal fiber modes can be launched and routed to any desired output port to undo the signal-mixing process. Figure S5 presents clear and open-eye diagrams for each of the fiber LP modes, which primarily benefited from the low-loss multichannel optical I/O. The experimental results reveal that a high-dimensional optical fiber communication system can be realized by the reconfigurable integrated photonic processor.

Additional concurrent data channels are also launched from the transmitter side to further assess the performance of all-optical descrambling. Because our input grating couplers at the transmitter side are not aligned with the pitch size of the FAU (as depicted in Fig. S4b ), we use a three-port mode-selective fiber photonic lantern 46 to launch various LP modes simultaneously. Figure S4c depicts the experimental setup with two concurrent data channels injected using two orthogonal fiber modes, including the combination of LP 01 with LP 11a , LP 01 with LP 11b , and LP 11a with LP 11b . The optical mesh at the receiver side is first configured for mode decoupling until the minimum of crosstalk between the two channels can be reached. The two-by-two bar charts of the normalized received optical power for each combination are illustrated in Fig. 4 a– c . The optimal inter-modal crosstalk obtained ranges between –24 dB to –29 dB. Figure 4d presents the retrieved eye diagram of a single channel as a reference. When two concurrent modes are launched without configuring the optical mesh, the eye diagram becomes completely closed, as shown in Fig. 4e . This is attributed to the coherent interference between the spectrally overlapped channels. By applying the corresponding configuration of the optical mesh shown in Fig. 4a , LP 01 and LP 11a can be separated, with the resulting eye diagrams and bit error rates (BERs) shown in Fig. 4f . A small BER penalty is observed compared to a reference signal with no concurrent channels injected, with the penalty being proportional to the inter-modal crosstalk level. The corresponding eye diagrams and BERs for simultaneous launching of LP 01 with LP 11b and LP 11a with LP 11b are shown in Figs. 4 g and 4h , respectively.

As the number of concurrent channels increases, the accumulated inter-modal crosstalk would further degrade the BER performance. This can be validated by injecting three concurrent channels utilizing the experimental setup shown in Figure S5d . To obtain three spatially decoupled LP 01 , LP 11a , and LP 11b modes, 2-km and 5-km SMFs are used before launching the optical signals into the fiber photonic lantern. An optimal crosstalk suppression level >21 dB can be obtained. Figure 5a presents the closed eye diagram resulting from mode scrambling, along with the retrieved eye diagrams when only a single channel, two channels, or three channels are launched from the transmitter side. BER measurements are also performed with power penalty illustrated in Fig. 5b .

We demonstrated a high-dimensional optical fiber communication system enabled by a reconfigurable silicon photonic processor. This system incorporates selective mode excitation and all-optical mode descrambling, achieved physically through the use of multimode optical I/O and optical mesh based on silicon MZIs. Without prior knowledge of the random mode mixing and polarization rotation during the circular-core FMF transmission, we effectively reconstruct six spatial and polarization channels, including the full set of orthogonal channels in a two-mode FMF for chip-to-chip optical fiber communications. As the mode launching and unmixing are all conducted in the optical domain, our approach is expected to be generally capable of managing communication systems utilizing various modulation formats. In real MDM optical fiber system, mapping individual modes presents a challenge due to the unknown mode mixing resulting from factors such as mode deformation, bending, or even structural imperfections in the optical fiber. However, programmable photonic processors hold the potential to effectively manage all the spatial channels prior to photodetection, thereby opening the door to numerous high-dimensional optical fiber applications, including communications, quantum networks, imaging, and sensing.

Complete singular value decomposition (SVD) would be needed in the future to reduce the crosstalk level and support more concurrent orthogonal data channels with a small BER penalty. Although it would require a more complex optical mesh to execute non-unitary linear matrix transformations, unraveling optical modes affected by significant mode-dependent loss and differential mode group delay will be possible for multimode optical fiber systems 42 , 43 , 44 .

Increasing the number of optical channels can be achieved by harnessing the available optical bandwidth of the integrated photonic processor. Each optical fiber mode can then be utilized in conjunction with wavelength-division multiplexing to enhance the overall data throughput. Apart from that, the number of involved spatial channels can also be increased by optimizing the multimode optical I/O and the optical mesh. For instance, LP 21 mode can also be launched by feeding two counterpropagating TE 1 modes with a relative phase shift of π, using the same multimode grating coupler at the transmitter side in this work 26 . To undo the signal mixing, however, a non-unitary optical mesh would be required as not all of the degenerate modes in the LP 21 group can be efficiently coupled back to the photonic chip. This may also require increasing the dimension size of the integrated optical mesh or positioning it at the transmitter side 43 , 47 .

Real-time configuration of the integrated photonic processor is crucial for high-dimensional fiber systems, as the transmission matrix of the multimode optical fiber can also vary over time due to factors such as fiber bending, fiber stress, or even temperature variations. Although the optical mesh configuration in this study was not performed in real-time due to speed limitations in the multichannel source measurement unit, progressive self-configuration with feedback has been previously demonstrated as a simple and rapid method to control the integrated optical mesh 37 , 38 , which may be used to handle the arbitrary mode evolution and polarization rotation during optical fiber transmission. It is worth noting that the configuration speed of the photonic processor can be of the order of 10 µs when using thermal-optical phase shifters 48 , 49 , and can be less than nanosecond when using electro-optical phase shifters 50 . This could potentially allow real-time management of the high-dimensional optical fiber systems using integrated photonic processors.

Multimode optical I/O design

The multimode grating coupler is designed for operation around 1550 nm wavelength range with a perfect vertical coupling configuration. 70-nm shallow etched holes are utilized as the low-index region for diffraction with a symmetrical pattern for the orthogonal polarizations. To reduce the coupling loss, chirped grating periods and hole diameter are optimized by genetic algorithm with effective medium theory and 2D FDTD simulations. 3D FDTD simulations are performed to validate the coupling performances of all the high-order fiber modes. Four ADCs are used to (de)multiplex the TE 0 and TE 1 modes on chip. The relative phase shift is adjusted by a heater-based waveguide phase shifter with titanium-tungsten alloy (TiW) on the top. The two-mode FMF used in our experiment is fabricated by OFS .

Photonic chip fabrication

The photonic chip is fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer with a 220 nm thick top silicon layer. The buried-oxide layer is 2 µm thick. Electro-beam lithography is used to define the device patterns, followed by dry reactive-ion etching process with a etch depth of 70 nm and a full etch. To protect the photonic circuits, a top cladding of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) with a thickness of 1.2 µm is used. Metallization is done using high-resistance titanium-tungsten alloy (TiW) for local heat generation and aluminum for electrical signal routing. A 300-nm thick SiO 2 passivation layer is used and selectively etched later over the aluminum pads for probing.

MDM chip-to-chip data transmission

For high-speed inter-chip optical communications, the tunable laser (Santec TSL-570) is set at 1530 nm with an output power of 13 dBm injected into a LiNbO3 Mach-Zehnder modulator (AFR AM40). The optical modulator is driven by a BPG (Keysight 8045 A) with an RF amplifier (SHF S807C). The modulator optical signals are spatially decoupled by SMFs with a transmission distance of 2 km and 5 km and sent to the mode-selective fiber photonic lantern with a two-mode FMF. The integrated photonic processor is controlled by a multichannel source measurement unit (Nicslab XDAC-120U-R4G8) and personal computer for the optical mesh configuration. An 8-channel optical power meter (Santec MPM-210H and MPM-215) is employed to read the optical powers from the fiber array. For eye diagram characterization at the receiver side, the optical signal is boosted by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA, Amonics AEDFA-PA-35-B-FA) and sent to a 50-GHz PIN photodiode (Coherent XPDV2320R). The eye-diagram and bit error rate are obtained from a sampling oscilloscope (Keysight N1000A) and BERT (Keysight 8040A).

Chapter One:Introduction to Fiber Optics Communication System prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

What is Fiber Optic? • Fiber optics – • A means to carry information from one point to another or serves as transmission medium (optical fiber). • A technology that uses thin strand of glass (or plastic) threads (fibers) to transmit data. • A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves. prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

Introduction • An optical fiber is essentially a waveguide for light • It consists of a core and cladding that surrounds the core • The index of refraction of the cladding is less than that of the core, causing rays of light leaving the core to be refracted back into the core • A light-emitting diode (LED) or laser diode (LD) can be used for the source prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

Optical Fiber prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

Optical Fiber • Optical fiber is made from thin strands of either glass or plastic • It has little mechanical strength, so it must be enclosed in a protective jacket • Often, two or more fibers are enclosed in the same cable for increased bandwidth and redundancy in case one of the fibers breaks • It is also easier to build a full-duplex system using two fibers, one for transmission in each direction prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

History prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

Advantages • The advantages of fiber-optic systems warrant considerable attention. • This new technology has clearly affected the telecommunications industry and will continue to thrive due to the numerous advantages it has over its copper counterpart. • The major advantages include. • Wide Bandwidth • Low Loss Electromagnetic Immunity • Light Weight • Small Size • Noise Immunity and Safety Security • Economic • Reliability

Wide Bandwidth • Fiber optic communications can run at10 Ghzand have the potential to go as high as 1 Thz(100,000 GHz). • A 10 Ghz capacity can transmit (per second): • 1000 books • 130,000 voice channels • 16 HTDV channels or 100 compressed HDTV channels. • Separate Voice, data and video channels are transmitted on a single cable.

Electromagnetic Immunity • Copper cables can act as an antennae picking up EMI from power lines, computers, machinery and other sources. • Fiber is not susceptible to Electro-Magnetic Interference and thus no interference allowing error-free transmissions.

Light Weight and Volume • Comparison: • Fiber – 4kg or 9lb per 1000 ft. (due mainly to packaging). • Coax – 36kg or 80lb per 1000 ft. • Fiber optic cables are substantially lighter in weight and occupy much less volume than copper cables with the same information capacity. • Fiber optic cables are being used to relieve congested underground ducts in metropolitan and suburban areas. • For example, a 3-in. diameter telephone cable consisting of 900 twisted-pair wires can be replaced with a single fiber strand 0.005 inch. • In diameter (approximately the diameter of a hair strand) and retain the same information carrying capacity.

Small Size • Use where space is at a premium: • Aircraft, submarines • Underground conduit • High density cable areas – Computer centers.

Noise Immunity and Safety • No electricity thus no spark hazards so can be used through hazardous areas. • Because fiber is constructed of dielectric materials, it is immune to inductive coupling or crosstalk from adjacent copper or fiber channels. • In other words, it is not affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI) or electrostatic interference.

Security • Since fiber does not carry electricity, it emits no EMI which could be used for eavesdropping. • Difficult to 'tap' – cable must be cut and spiced. • Because light does not radiate from a fiber optic cable, it is nearly impossible to secretly tap into it without detection. • For this reason, several applications requiring communications security employ fiber-optic systems. • Military information, for example, can be transmitted over fiber to prevent eavesdropping. • In addition, metal detectors cannot detect fiber-optic cables unless they are manufactured with steel reinforcement for strength.

Economics • Presently, since the cost of fiber is comparable to copper it is expected to drop as it becomes more widely used. • Because transmission losses are considerably less than for coaxial cable, expensive repeaters can be spaced farther apart. • Fewer repeaters mean a reduction in overall system costs and enhanced reliability.

Reliability • Once installed, a longer life span is expected with fiber over its metallic counterparts, because it is more resistant to corrosion caused by environmental extremes such as temperatures, corrosive gases, and liquids.

Disadvantages of Fiber-Optic System • In spite of the numerous advantages that fiber-optic systems have over conventional methods of transmission, there are some disadvantages, particularly because of its newness. • Many of these disadvantages are being overcome with new and competitive technology. The disadvantages include: • Interfacing Costs • Strength • Remote powering of devices • Inability to interconnected

Interfacing Costs • Electronic facilities must be converted in order to interface to the fiber. • Often these costs are initially overlooked. • Fiber-optic transmitters, receivers, couplers, and connectors, for example, must be employed as part of the communication system. • Test and repair equipment is costly. • If the fiber-optic cable breaks, splicing can be costly and tedious task. • Manufacturers in this related field however are continuously introducing new and improved field repair kits.

Strength • Optical fiber , by itself has a significant lower tensile strength than coaxial cable. • Surrounding the fiber with stranded Kevlar (A nonmetallic, difficult to-stretch, strengthening material) and a protective PVC jacket can help to increase the pulling strength. • Installations requiring greater tensile strengths can be achieved with steel reinforcement.

Remote Powering Of Devices • Occasionally, it is necessary to provide electrical power to a remote device. • Because this cannot be achieved through the fiber, metallic conductors are often included in the cable assembly. • Several manufacturers now offer a complete line of cable types, including cables manufactured with both copper wire and fiber.

Inability to interconnect • Inability to interconnect easily requires that current communication hardware systems be somewhat retrofitted to the fiber-optic networks. • Much of the speed that is gained through optical fiber transmission can be inhibited at the conversion points of a fiber-optic chain. • When a portion of the chain experiences heavy use, information becomes jammed in a bottleneck at the points where conversion to, or from, electronic signals is taking place. • Bottlenecks like this should become less frequent as microprocessors become more efficient and fiber-optics reach closer to a direct electronic hardware interface.

Disadvantage

Fiber Optic Block Diagram • Fiber optics is a medium for carrying information from one point to another in the form of light. • Unlike the copper form of transmission, fiber optics is not electrical in nature. • A basic fiber optic system consists of: i) transmitting device that converts an electrical signal into a light signal, ii) optical fiber cable that carries the light, iii) receiver that accepts the light signal and converts it back into an electrical signal. prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

Block Diagram prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

Transmitter • Its main function is to transmit the information signals like voice, video or computer in the form of light signals. • As shown above, the information at input is converted into digital signals by coder or converter circuit. • This circuit is actually ADC (analog to digital converter). • Thus, it converts analog signals into proportional digital signals. • If the input signals are computer signals, they are directly connected to light source transmitter circuit prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

Con’t • The light source block is a powerful light source. • It is generally a FOCUS type LED or low intensity laser beam source or in some cases infrared beam of light is also used. • The rate, at which light source turns ON/OFF, depends on frequency of digital pulses. • Thus, its flashing is proportional to digital input. • In this way, digital signals are converted into equivalent light pulses and focused at one end of fiber-optic cable. • They are then received at its other end. prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

Fiber Optic Cable • When light pulses are fed to one end of fiber-optic cable, they are passed on to other end. • The cable has VERY LESS attenuation (loss due to absorption of light waves) over a long distance. • Its bandwidth is large; hence, its information carrying capacity is high. prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

Receiver • At receiving end, a light detector or photocell is used to detect light pulses. • It is a transducer, which converts light signals into proportional electrical signals. • These signals are amplified and reshaped into original digital pulses, (while reshaping, distortion & noise are filtered out) with the help of shaper circuit. • Then the signals are connected to decoder. It is actually ADC circuit (Analog to Digital Converter), which converts digital signals into proportional analog signals like voice, video or computer data. • Digital signals for computer can be directly taken from output of shaper circuit prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

Con’t • Thus, this total unit is used fiber optic communication system. • However if the distance between transmitter and receiver is very large, then REPEATER UNITS are used. • Due to repeaters signals attenuation is compensated. • For this, light signals at far end are converted into electrical signals, amplified and retransmitted. • Such repeater unit is also called RELAY STATION prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

Application • Analog system • Digital system • Undersea cable • High Definition Television (HDTV) • Triple Play Technology ( voice, video , data ) prepared by : Maizatul Zalela bt Mohamed Sail

Optical Communication Systems Seminar Topics for Engineering Stundents

Optical communication is one type of communication where optical fiber is mainly used for carrying the light signal to the remote end in place of electrical current. The basic building blocks of this system mainly include a modulator or demodulator, a transmitter or a receiver, a light signal & a transparent channel. Optical communication system transmits data optically using optical fibers. So this process can be done by simply changing the electronic signals to light pulses using laser or LED light sources. As compared to electrical transmission, optical fibers have mostly replaced copper wire communications within core networks due to many benefits like high bandwidth, transmission range is huge, very low loss & no electromagnetic interference. This article lists optical communication systems seminar topics for engineering students.

Optical Communication Systems Seminar Topics

The list of optical communication system seminar topics for engineering students is discussed below.

Optical Coherence Tomography

Optical coherence tomography is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light signals to capture side-view pictures of your retina. By using this OCT, an ophthalmologist can notice distinctive layers of the retina so that he can map & measure their width for diagnosis. Retinal diseases mainly include age-related macular degeneration & diabetic eye disease. OCT is frequently used to estimate optic nerve disorders.

Optical coherence tomography mainly depends on light waves and it cannot be utilized through conditions that interfere with light passing throughout the eye. The OCT is very helpful in diagnosing different eye conditions like a macular hole, macular edema, macular pucker, glaucoma, vitreous traction, diabetic retinopathy, central serous retinopathy, etc.

Optical Burst Switching

Optical Burst Switching or OBS is an optical network technology used to enhance the utilization of optical network resources as compared to OCS or optical circuit switching. This kind of switching is implemented through WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) and a data transmission technology where it transmits data through an optical fiber by establishing numerous channels where every channel corresponds to a particular light wavelength. OBS is applicable within core networks. This switching technique mainly combines the advantages of optical circuit switching & optical packet switching while avoiding their particular faults.

Visible Light Communication

Visible Light Communication (VLC) is a communication technique wherever visible light with a particular range of frequency is utilized as the communication medium. So, the frequency range of visible light ranges from 400 – 800 THz. This communication works under the theory of transmission of data by means of light rays to transmit & receive messages within a specified distance. The characteristics of visible light communication mainly include signal confinement, Non-line of sight, and security in dangerous situations.

Free-Space Optical Communication

Free-space optical communication is an optical communication technology that utilizes light propagating in free space to transmit data wirelessly for computer networking or telecommunications. This communication technology is very helpful wherever physical connections are not practical because of high costs. Free space optical communication uses invisible light beams to provide high-speed wireless connections that can transmit & receive video, voice, etc.

FSO technology uses light similar to optical transmissions with the fiber-optic cable but the main difference is the medium. Here, light travels faster throughout the air as compared to through glass, thus it is fair to categorize FSO technology like optical communications at light speed.

3D Optical Network-on-Chip

Optical network on chip provides high bandwidth & low latency with lower power dissipation significantly. A 3D optical network on the chip is mainly developed with optical router architecture like the basic unit. This router completely uses the dimension order routing properties within 3D mesh networks & decrease the number of microresonators necessary for optical network on chips.

We evaluated the router’s loss property with four other schemes. So, the results will show that the router gets the low loss for the highest path within the network with a similar size. The 3D optical network on the chip is compared to its 2D counterpart in three aspects like latency, energy & throughput. The comparison of power utilization through electronic & 2D counterparts proves that 3D ONoC can save about 79.9% energy as compared to electronic one and 24.3% energy as compared to the 2D ONoC which all includes 512 IP cores. The 3D mesh ONoC network performance simulation can be carried out through OPNET in different configurations. So the results will show the improved performance above the 2D ONoC.

Microstructured Optical Fibers

Microstructure Optical Fibers are new types of optical fibers which have internal structure as well as light-guiding properties that are different significantly as compared to conventional optical fibers. Microstructured optical fibers are normally silica optical fibers where air holes are set up within the cladding area & expand in the axial path of the fiber. These fibers are available in different sizes, shapes & air-holes distributions. Recent interest in these fibers has been generated through potential applications within optical communications; optical fiber-based sensing, frequency metrology & optical coherence tomography.

Underwater Wireless Optical Communication

Underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) is the transmission of data with wireless channels using optical waves as a transmission medium underwater. This optical communication has higher communication frequency & much higher data rates at less latency levels as compared to RF as well as acoustic counterparts. Because of this data transfer with high-speed benefit, this type of communication has been extremely attractive. In UWOC systems, various applications have been proposed to guard the environment, emergency alerts, military operations, underwater exploration, etc. But, underwater channels also experience severe absorption & dispersion.

Optical CDMA

Optical code-division multiple access combines the large bandwidth of the fiber medium through the flexibility of the CDMA method to attain high-speed connectivity. OCDMA is a wireless multi-user network that includes a transmitter and receiver. In this network, an OOC or optical orthogonal code is allocated to every transmitter & receiver for connecting to its equivalent OOC user & after synchronization between two equivalent OOC users, they can transmit or receive the data from each other. The main advantage of OCDMA is, it handles a finite bandwidth between a large number of users. It operates asynchronously without collisions of packets.

EDFA System with WDM

Wavelength-division multiplexing is a technology through which various optical channels can be simultaneously transmitted at different wavelengths over a particular optical fiber. Optical network with WDM is extensively used in current telecommunication infrastructures. So it plays a significant role in future-generation networks. Wavelength division multiplexing techniques merged with EDFA enhance the light wave transmission capacity which provides high capacity & enhances optical network technology flexibility. So in an optical communication system, EDFA plays a significant role.

Spatial Division Multiplexing Systems

Spatial division multiplexing/space-division multiplexing is abbreviated as SDM or SM or SMX. This is a multiplexing system in different communication technologies like fiber-optic communication, and MIMO wireless communication which is used for transmitting independent channels divided within space.

Spatial Division Multiplexing for optical fiber communication is very useful to overcome the capacity limit of WDM. This multiplexing technique increases the spectral efficiency for each fiber by multiplexing the signals in orthogonal LP modes within FMG (few-mode fibers & multi-core fibers. In this multiplexing system, the mode MUX (multiplexer)/DEMUX (demultiplexer) is a primary component as it simply equalizes the mode-dependent loss, compensates for differential mode delays & is used to build transceivers.

SONET stands for Synchronous Optical Network is a communication protocol, developed by Bellcore. SONET is mainly used for transmitting a huge amount of data above relatively large distances through an optical fiber. By using SONET, various digital data streams are transmitted over the optical fiber simultaneously. SONET mainly comprises four functional layers; path layer, line, section, and photonic layer.

The path layer is mainly responsible for the movement of the signal from its optical source to its destination. The line layer is responsible for the signal movement across a physical line. The section layer is responsible for the signal movement across a physical section and the Photonic layer communicates with the physical layer in the OSI model. The advantages of SONET are; data rates are high, bandwidth is large, low electromagnetic interference, and large distance data transmission.

Photonics Technology

The branch of optics is known as photonics which involves the application of guiding, generating, amplifying detecting & manipulating light in photon form through transmission, emission, signal processing, modulation, switching, sensing & amplification. A few examples of photonics are optical fibers, lasers, phone cameras & screens, computer screens, optical tweezers, lighting within cars, TVs, etc.

Photonics plays a significant role in different fields from lighting & displays to the manufacturing sector, optical data communications to imaging, health care, life sciences, security, etc. Photonics provides new & unique solutions wherever conventional technologies at present are approaching their limits in terms of accuracy, speed & capacity.

Wavelength Routing Network

The wavelength-routing network is a scalable optical network that allows the reprocessing of wavelengths in various elements of transparent optical networks to conquer some of the confines of a limited number of existing wavelengths. The wavelength routing network can be constructed by using various WDM links by connecting them at a node through a switching subsystem. Using such nodes interconnected through fibers, different networks with large & complex topologies can be developed. These networks provide large capacities through transparent optical lanes that do not experience optical to electronic-conversion.

Adaptive Eye Gaze Tracking System

The device that is used to track gaze by analyzing the movements of the eye is known as a gaze tracker. Eye gaze tracking system is used to estimate as well as track the person’s 3D line of sight and also where a person is looking. This system works simply by transmitting near IR light and light is reflected within your eyes. So these reflections are received by the cameras of the eye tracker so that the eye tracker system will know where you are looking. This system is very helpful in observing & also measuring movements of the eye, point of gaze, pupil dilation & eye blinking to observe.

Intensity Modulation in Optical Communication

The intensity modulation in optical communication is a type of modulation where the optical power o/p of a source is changed in accordance with some modulating signal characteristics like the information-bearing signal or the baseband signal. In this type of modulation, there is no lower & discrete upper sidebands. But, an optical source output has a spectral width. The modulated optical signal’s envelope is an analog of the modulating signal in that the instant envelope power is an analog of the characteristic of interest within the modulating signal.

Optical Wireless Communication

Optical wireless communication is a type of optical communication where infrared, unguided visible, or ultraviolet light is utilized for carrying a signal. Generally, it is utilized in short-range communication. When an optical wireless communication system operates in the 390 to 750 nm visible band range, it is known as visible light communication. These systems are used in a wide range of applications like WLANS, WPANs & vehicular networks. Alternatively, terrestrial point-to-point OWC systems called free-space optical systems which operate at near-infrared frequencies like 750 to 1600 nm.

Visual MIMO

Optical communication system like Visual MIMO is derived from MIMO, wherever the multiple transmitter multiple receiver model has been adopted for the light within the visible & non-visible spectrum. So in Visual MIMO, an electronic visual display or LED serves as the transmitter whereas a camera serves as the receiver.

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing

An optical fiber multiplexing technology like Dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) is used to enhance the fiber network’s bandwidth. It merges data signals from various sources above a single pair of optical fiber cables while maintaining total separation of data streams. DWDM handles higher speed protocols equal to 100 Gbps for each channel. Every channel is simply 0.8nm apart. This multiplexing simply works the same as CWDM but in addition to the channel capacity improvement, it can also be amplified to very long distances.

Optical Packet Switching

Optical packet switching simply allows the transfer of packet signals within the optical domain based on packet-by-packet. All input optical packets within normal electronic routers are changed into electrical signals stored subsequently within a memory. This type of switching offers data transparency & large capacity. But, after so much research, this kind of technology has not yet been used in actual products due to a lack of fast, deep optical memories & the poor integration level.

Open Access is an initiative that aims to make scientific research freely available to all. To date our community has made over 100 million downloads. It’s based on principles of collaboration, unobstructed discovery, and, most importantly, scientific progression. As PhD students, we found it difficult to access the research we needed, so we decided to create a new Open Access publisher that levels the playing field for scientists across the world. How? By making research easy to access, and puts the academic needs of the researchers before the business interests of publishers.

We are a community of more than 103,000 authors and editors from 3,291 institutions spanning 160 countries, including Nobel Prize winners and some of the world’s most-cited researchers. Publishing on IntechOpen allows authors to earn citations and find new collaborators, meaning more people see your work not only from your own field of study, but from other related fields too.

Brief introduction to this section that descibes Open Access especially from an IntechOpen perspective
