This article investigates the mechanism of electronic signal phase noise degradation induced by laser phase noise in optical links comprising optical resonators. Through theoretical derivation, we find that the phase noise of the output electronic signal has the same spectral shape of optical intensity noise as the output of the optical resonator. We propose that the optical resonator transfers laser phase noise to light intensity fluctuation and then the intensity fluctuation is converted to electric phase noise through AM-PM conversion mechanism in the photodiode. An optical link comprising a Fabry-Perot resonator was constructed to verify the proposed mechanism. The experimental results agree with our theoretical prediction verifying that the supposition is correct.

We discuss two possible optical noise sources in an electro-optic camera loaded on a low earth orbit satellite. The first noise source was a reflection at the window for signal rays incident upon the window which is placed before the FPA plane. The second noise source came from a reflection at the surface of the FPA cell when the signal flux is not entirely absorbed. We investigate the noise generation processes for two optical noise sources, and a parametric solution is used to estimate the optical noise effects.

There is a growing need for optical communication systems that convert large volumes of data to optical signals and that accommodate and transmit the signals across long distances. Digital optical communication consists of a master unit (MU) and a slave unit (SU). The MU transmits data to SU using digital optical signals. However, digital optical units that are commercially available or are under development transmit data using two's complement representation. At low input levels, a large number of SSOs (simultaneous switching outputs) are required because of the high rate of bit switching in two's complement, which thereby increases the power noise. This problem reduces the overall system capability because a DSP (digital signal processor) chip (FPGA, CPLD, etc.) cannot be used efficiently and power noise increases. This paper proposes a change from two's complement to a more efficient method that produces less SSO noise and can be applied to existing digital optical units.

We propose a method to eliminate the noise of a disordered medium optical transmission matrix. Gaussian noise exists whenever light passes through the medium, during the measurement of the transmission matrix and thus cannot be ignored. Experiments and comparison of noise eliminating before and after are performed to illustrate the effectiveness and advance presented by our method. After noise elimination, the results of focusing and imaging are better than the effect before noise elimination, and the measurement of the transmission matrix is more consistent with the theoretical analysis as well.

본 논문에서는 광섬유 커플러를 이용하여 차동 검출기를 구성하고 무선광시스템에서 잡음광 소거에 활용하였다. $1\times2$광섬유 커플러를 이용하여 수신광을 2개로 분리해서 수신하면 동일한 지점의 잡음광을 2개의 포토다이오드에서 동시에 검출하는 효과가 발생한다. 따라서 잡음광의 공간분포의 변화가 심하게 발생하는 환경에서도 2개의 포토다이오드의 위치 차이로 인한 출력 전압의 변동이 나타나지 않아 잡음 소거 효과가 높아진다. 광필터를 사용한 단일의 광검출기에 비하여 광섬유 커플러를 사용한 차동검출기에서 신호대 잡음비를 약 8 dB 개선하였다.

Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) is a recently proposed computational imaging method that achieves both high resolution (HR) and wide field of view. In the FPM framework, a series of low-resolution (LR) images at different illumination angles is used for high-resolution image reconstruction. On the basis of previous research, image noise can significantly degrade the FPM reconstruction result. Since the captured LR images contain a lot of dark-field images with low signal-to-noise ratio, it is very important to apply a noise-reduction process to the FPM raw dataset. However, the thresholding method commonly used for the FPM data preprocessing cannot separate signals from background noise effectively. In this work, we propose an improved thresholding method that provides a reliable background-noise threshold for noise reduction. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more efficient and robust than the conventional thresholding method.

In this paper, theoretical analysis for metropolitan optical networks is performed. First, analytical optical SNR is derived assuming each node consists of an EDFA, an optical filter, an optical switch, and a VOA, and then the relationship between OSNR and BER is studied. In a metropolitan optical network, an optical signal can be dropped to deliver data, and we also studied the effect of drop loss on system performance. When the drop loss is relatively small, the receiver structure of the node can be treated as a preamplifier receiver which is widely used in long-haul systems. In that case, ASE noise from EDFAs is the dominant noise source in the receiver. However, system performance is relatively insensitive to OSNR when the drop loss is significant because of the noise sources in the receiver (thermal and shot noise).

We propose a blind feedforward phase noise mitigation method in the time-domain for a coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems. By exploiting the redundancy of the cyclic prefix (CP), the proposed scheme acquires the overall phase noise difference information during an OFDM block and attempts to mitigate the phase noise in the time domain using a linear approximation. The proposed algorithm mitigates common phase error (CPE) and inter-carrier-interference (ICI) due to phase noise simultaneously, improving the system performance, especially when decision-directed equalizers are used. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed feedforward phase noise mitigation approach in time domain.

본 논문에서는 무선광 연결에서 신호광과 잡음광에 대한 플라스틱 광섬유의 손실차를 이용하여 잡음광의 영향을 감소하였다. 플라스틱 광섬유에서 신호광과 잡음광에 대한 손실계수가 달라서 차동검출기를 구성하는 2개의 포토다이오드로 연결되는 광섬유의 길이를 다르게 하면 신호광과 잡음광에 대한 감소 비율이 달라져 변별소자의 역할을 한다. 따라서 별도의 광필터를 설치하지 않아도 잡음광의 간섭을 소거하고 신호성분을 검출할 수 있다. 광섬유를 사용하지 않는 단일의 포토다이오드를 사용할 때에 비하여 광섬유를 사용할 때 약 9.7 dB신호대 잡음비를 개선하였다.

This paper presents performance improvement in optical CDMA system under the presence of beat noise using a cancellation technique. Optical fibers and atmospheric optical communications have been proposed the connection between base stations and central station. The optical signal beat noise is due to interference between lightwave, many optical waves are simultaneously incident on each receiver photodiode. Since the photodiode acts as a square-law detector, beat noise can occur in the receiver. While A two-stage cancellation technique is analyzed and verified via simulation employed here because of its system simplicity. By using the random ingredients of all user signals are estimated, the beat noise is rebuilt and removed from the intended signal. In addition to cancellation technique cancel the inherent multiuser interference (MUI) in CDMA system and nonlinear distortion (NLD) in optical system. It is performed at the receiver of the central station where the random ingredients of all user signals are estimated and the MUI and the NLD are rebuilt and removed from the received signal. The validity of the cancellation technique is theoretically analyzed and shown by numerical results. The increasing of capacity in two stage cancellation are obtained.
