Slow light is generated via the gain mechanisms of nonlinear optical phenomena-- stimulated stimulated Brillouin
scattering in optical fiber. Slow light is characterized in terms of Brillouin threshold, gain spectrum, Brillouin frequency
shift by using optical heterodyne detection. According to the measured Brillouin frequency shift, we set our signal
frequency in the gain region by manual matching method to get the maximum gain, and the gain bandwidth is broadened
to 450MHz using a phrase-modulated pump. A delay of 32ns is achieved for the 500ns input signal when the gain is
15dB.

We propose an all-optical edge detector for the high-speed non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signals by employing a
Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) incorporating semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), where the cross phase
modulation (XPM) in SOA is exploited. The basic working principle of the proposed edge detector is that the CW probes
in the upper and bottom arms always undergo a phase difference of π, except during the leading and tailing transition
edges of the NRZ signals. Therefore, the output after the two probes interfering at the constructive port of the MZI will
be a series of pulses at only the edges of the NRZ signals. The output signals of the edge detectors are numerically
evaluated in terms of the Q factor (>20dB) and extinction ratio (>11dB) at 20 and 40 Gb/s, which indicate the high
quality of output.

We propose a new type of grating-assisted microring (GAMR) structure with Bragg gratings placed on microring's arms.
Two Fabry-Perot resonances interact with microring resonance, resulting in GAMR's unique amplitude and phase spectra.
The structure's characteristics are analytically studied using coupled mode theory and numerically verified by 2D-FDTD.
With proper cavity lengths, GAMR exhibits an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like spectrum. The
ultra-narrow resonance can be used for sensing, modulation, and other applications.

We demonstrated and fabricated a 20μm-long ultra-compact variable optical attenuator based on thermo-optical effect
with slow light photonic crystal waveguide (PCWG). In simulation, we optimize the line-defect width and radius/period
ratio (r/a) of the PCWG for deep photonic band gap and large slope photonic band edge. An r/a=140nm/410nm W1
PCWG is selected for its -60dB depth and 36dB variable attenuation range when the tunable refractive index change is
0.01. We also study different shapes of micro-heaters for low power consumption and high heat transfer efficiency. A
24.6mW and 75.9% heat transfer efficiency are achieved in a 2μm-wide right-angle-shaped micro-heater. In experiment,
A 4.6nm red shift at the cutoff wavelength of the fundamental mode and a 10dB tunable attenuation range are achieved
through tuning the temperature of the W1 PCWG by an 4.7μm-wide aluminum micro-heater with a maximum power
consumption as low as 30.7mW.

We proposed a compact surface wave polarization splitter based on the metallic-dielectric-air (MDA) waveguide with an
slit surrounded by asymmetric corrugations. The incident light coupled to the MDA waveguide through the aperture is
split into TE- and TM-polarized electromagnetic surface modes by the polarization-sensitive corrugations on each side.
Polarization extinction ratios better than 20 dB are achieved for both polarizations. The structure would be interesting for
a variety of optical devices and nanophotonics.

We demonstrated experimentally 40 Gbit/s all-optical format conversions between return-to-zero (RZ) and nonreturn-to-
zero (NRZ) using a fiber delay interferometer (FDI) and a single semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). Firstly, 40 Gbit/s data format conversion from RZ to NRZ is realized using a FDI with temperature control and an optical bandpass filter (BPF). Then, 40 Gbit/s data format conversion from NRZ to RZ is implemented, using four-wave mixing (FWM)
effect of SOA, by injecting synchronously NRZ signal and clock pulses into a single SOA. Presented method has some distinct advantages including multi-channel parallel processing, easy integration, convenient tuning, good stability, and
so on, which has potential to be used in future optical networks that could combine wavelength division multiplexing
(WDM) and optical time domain multiplexing (OTDM) transmission techniques.

A novel scheme of Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) all-optical wavelength conversion is proposed using a semiconductor
optical amplifier based Mach-Zehnder interferometer (SOA-MZI), where the complementary NRZ data is used to
mitigate SOA patterning effect. The performances of the wavelength converters are numerically evaluated in terms of the
waveform, eye-diagram and Q factor of the output signals at 40 Gb/s, using a time-domain SOA model. It is shown that
the new complementary scheme significantly improves the Q factor of the converted signal from 3.8 to 8.1, compared
with the traditional scheme.

Modulation Instability is known as intrinsic property of a nonlinear medium like Kerr medium or photorefractive
medium; through the such media, the system behavior is possible to transit form stationary regime to chaotic regime; this
paper deals with Modulation Instability (MI) in a nonlinear medium and investigates the analogy of MI of optical
nonlinear medium and the consequent chaotic regime based on extracting Lyapunov exponent through the power
spectrum and equivalently intensity-time diagram of MI; the experimental observation truly confirms the results of MI as
the route to the chaotic regime.

A widely tunable distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser with gratings of simpler structure compare to other types of
widely tunable (around 100 nm) lasers is proposed for achieving wide wavelength tuning range (> 100 nm), which
consists a front reflector based on a normal sampled grating (SG) with a small duty ratio (the ratio of the grating pitch
length to the sampling period), and a rear reflector based on a properly designed interleaved sampled grating (ISG). The
interleaved sampled grating (ISG) has an advantage over other complex structures, it is easy for fabrication and
reflection spectrum of the grating is stable while tuning. Simulation results demonstrated that characteristics of the
reflection spectrums of the both reflectors is good for wide wavelength tuning, and the wavelength tuning range of a
DBR laser based on this design can be over 100nm.

In this work we extract a novel formula for optical absorption coefficient of Quantum Dots (QDs) in frame of 8band k.p
modeling. Also this is useful for any other several band k.p frame. Using this formula, we analyze and simulate
absorption spectra for a typical InAs/In0.4Ga0.6As QD, both for TE and TM components of absorption spectra. Size and
alloy fraction of QD is chosen such that the absorption spectra has some components around 1.55μm that will be
applicable for single photon fiber optic communication.

A novel PbS quantum dots (QDs) fiber amplifier based on SiO2 Sol-Gel method was proposed. The QDs doped
SiO2 films was deposited onto a fused tapered fiber coupler based on standard single mode fiber (SMF). With a 980 nm
wavelength laser diode (LD) as the pump, 1550 nm signal and 980 nm pump light waves were injected into the tapered
region simultaneously, through the evanescent wave, we obtained the gain at 1576 nm wavelength as high as 5 dB. The
proposed fiber amplififier can implement the property of a small, integrated, high output, low noise, high gain, low cost,
which meet the need of the future of optical fiber communication system.

Wavelength-scale defected circular microresonators with laterally confined metal layer are designed for directional
emission from high Q confined modes by boundary element method (BEM), which is firstly applied to the multilayer
structures. The influence of metal layer thickness on the mode filed patterns and Q factors are simulated. The results
indicate that the thickness of the metal layer has a great effect on far-field emission patterns and the mode Q factors.

The electronic conductance at zero temperature through a quantum wire with side-attached asymmetric quantum ring (as a scatter system) is theoretically studied using the non-interacting Anderson tunneling Hamiltonian method. We show that the asymmetric configuration of QD-
scatter system strongly impresses the amplitude and spectrum of quantum wire nanostructure transmission characteristics. It is shown that whenever the balanced number of quantum dots in two rings is substituted by unbalanced scheme, the number of forbidden mini-bands in
quantum wire conductance increases and QW-nanostructure electronic conductance contains rich spectral properties due to appearance of the new
anti-resonance and resonance points in spectrum. Considering the suitable gap between nano-rings can strengthen the amplitude of new resonant
peaks in the QW conductance spectrum. The proposed asymmetric quantum ring scatter system idea in this paper opens a new insight on
designing quantum wire nano structure for given electronic conductance.

In this work, a direct DQPSK receiver was fabricated, which comprises a polymer waveguide based delay-line
interferometer (DLI); a polymer based optical hybrid, and two monolithic pairs of > 25 GHz bandwidth photodiodes that
are vertically coupled to the polymer planar lightwave circuit (PLC) via integrated 45° mirrors. The common mode
rejection ratio (CMRR) is used to characterize the performance of coherent receivers, by indicating the electrical power
balance between the balanced detectors. However, the standard CMRR can only be measured when the PDs can be
illuminated separately. Also, the standard CMRR does not take into account the errors in the relative phases of the
receiver outputs. We introduce an adapted CMRR to characterize the direct receiver, which takes into account the
unequal responsivities of the PDs, the uneven split of the input power by the DLI and hybrid, the phase error and the
extinction ratio of the DLI and hybrid.

In this paper, we propose the simplest one-dimensional grating waveguide to obtain the wideband slow light. An ideal band indicating group index of 18.3 and bandwidth of 10.3 nm is obtained by plane wave expansion method, which is also verified in the finite-difference time-domain numerical simulation when a Gaussian pulse with bandwidth of 10.3
nm is input into the grating waveguide. Thus, this simple one-dimensional grating waveguide is believed to be widely
used as wideband and low loss slow light delay for optical buffering and signal processing.

We theoretically investigate the optical transmission through a subwavelength slit covered with a nanostrip and
surrounded by corrugations in a metal film. Simulations results show that with a nanostrip on top of the slit, the optical
transmission efficiency through the slit surrounded by grooves is greatly enhanced for various angles of incidence
compared with the structure without the nanostrip. The nanostrip should be thick enough to result in an air nanocavity
with high Q value and enhanced transmission efficiency.

Gain-assisted surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagation is realized by electrical pumping the InGaAsP quantum
wells (QWs) beneath the metal waveguide with asymmetric configuration. The long-range and short-range mode SPPs
are analyzed theoretically and observed experimentally under different levels of current injection. It is demonstrated that
among the complex SPP-coupled emission mechanisms, the short-range SPP is supported by stimulated amplification
(SA) in electrically-pumped QWs, and increases robustly to as 1.6 times of the long-range mode SPP in output power
over a travelling distance of 80μm. This stimulated SPP emission can be adopted for the minimization of the electrically
controlled optical modulator.

In this work, we demonstrate the bulk self-alignment of gold nanorods (GNRs) dispersed in lyotropic nematic liquid
crystals (LCs) with high optical absorption coefficient at the surface plasmon resonant wavelength. The polymer-coated
GNRs which show spontaneous long-range orientational ordering along the director of LC host exhibit long-term stability
as well as high concentration. External magnetic field and shearing allow for alignment and realignment of the orientation
of gold nanorods by changing the director of the liquid crystal matrix. This results in a switchable polarization-sensitive
surface plasmon resonance exhibiting stark differences from that of the same nanorods in isotropic fluids. The devise-scale
bulk nanoparticle alignment may enable optical metamaterial mass production and control of surface plasmon resonance of
nanoparticles.

A polymer optical waveguide amplifier based on PbS quantum dots (QDs) is demonstrated. It is fabricated by coating
PbS quantum dots film on a SU-8 optical channel waveguide. The PbS QDs are synthesized by a combined colloidal and
sol-gel method. The SU-8 polymer optical channel waveguide is fabricated by using a direct ultraviolet (UV)
photolithography technology. With a Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM), the signal and pump waves can be
combined and injected into the optical channel waveguide which is covered by QDs. The optical wave interacts with the
PbS QDs through evanescent wave and is amplified. By using a 10mm length waveguide, a 3.0dB gain was observed at
1310nm wavelength with 980nm pump.

The ever growing demand for more bandwidth in high-performance computing (HPC) applications leads to a continuous
replacement of traditional copper-based links by optical interconnects at ever shorter transmission distances. However,
this trend results in a more stringent performance requirements for laser light sources utilized in new generations of
optical interconnects in respect to single channel speed, packaging density, power consumption and temperature stability,
to make the technology competitive and commercially viable. Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers operating at
different wavelengths, e. g. 850 or 980 nm, represent one possible solution for the short distance high density
interconnects in HPC applications. Here we present ultra-high speed highly temperature stable 980 nm VCSELs
operating error-free at the record high bit rate of 44 Gbit/s at room temperature and 38 Gbit/s at 85 °C for future interand
intra-chip, and module-to-module optical links. Next we present high speed extremely energy efficient 850 nm
VCSELs with record low energy consumptions of only 83 fJ/bit while operating at 17 Gbit/s and of only 117 fJ/bit at 25
Gbit/s. Our VCSELs enable ecologically sound and economically practical HPC designs.

We report on the development of 25Gb/s 850nm VCSEL and PD components for efficient short-reach optical fiber
communication systems. VCSELs with the aperture size 6-7μm show the highest -3dB bandwidth (~20GHz) and Dfactor
(~8Ghz/mA1/2). K-factor is less than 0.25ns for VCSEL with 6 μm aperture. Eye diagrams are clearly open at 25C
up to 35Gb/s. The dark current of PDs remain below 1nA at T < 50°C and below 10nA when T < 90°C out to -10V. The
extracted PD capacity is linearly proportional to the detector area and less than 200fF even for 45μm PD diameter. Due
to elimination of contribution of diffusion process and quite small capacitance of the depletion region eye diagrams are
opened at 28Gb/s, even for the PDs with the largest active diameters. Using 35μm PD and 6μm VCSEL error-free
25Gb/s optical fiber communication links were tested over lengths of 203m and 103m at 25°C and 85°C, respectively.
Received optical power for the lowest BER is at both temperatures smaller than -4dBm. Obtained results indicate that
from the speed and power dissipation perspective developed high-speed CSELs and PDs are suitable for applications in
the next generation of short-reach multimode optical fiber interconnects.

We experimentally demonstrated four- and five-port non-blocking optical routers for photonic networks-on-chip. The
optical routers are based on cascaded microring resonators. New topology design reduces the number of microring
resonators and crossings, improving the performances in terms of tuning power consumption, optical loss, crosstalk
and channel uniformity of the optical routers. The efficient footprints are 300x340 μm2 and 440x660 μm2 for fourand
five-port optical routers, respectively. Static spectrum tests show that the 3-dB bandwidths are larger than 0.12
nm and 0.31 nm, the extinction ratios are larger than 13 dB and 20 dB for through ports, 30 dB and 16 dB for drop
ports, for four- and five-port optical routers, respectively. Moreover, routing functionality and signal integrity are
verified by 12.5 Gbps high-speed signal transmission experiments using the NRZ 231-1 PRBS pattern.

A novel ultra-short polarization beam splitter (PBS) based on a bent directional coupler is proposed. The bent directional
coupler has two bent optical waveguides with different core widths, which is designed to have phase-matching for TM
polarization while there is a significant phase-mismatch for TE polarization. Therefore, the TM polarized light can be
coupled from the narrow input waveguide to the adjacent wide waveguide while the TE polarization goes through the
coupling region without significant coupling. An ultra-short (<10μm-long) PBS is designed based on silicon-on-insulator
nanowires and the length of the bent coupling region is as small as 4.5μm when choosing the gap width as 200nm (large
enough to simplify the fabrication). The numerical simulations show that the present PBS has a good fabrication
tolerance for the variation of the waveguide width (more than ±60nm) and a very broad band (~200nm) for an extinction
ratio of >10dB.

Grating couplers are widely investigated as a coupling interface between silicon-on-insulator waveguides and optical
fibers. In this work, novel grating couplers based on strip poly-Si are proposed. This structure utilizes the poly-Si gate
layer of the CMOS MOSFETs, and thus enables grating couplers integrated with CMOS circuits without adding any
additional masks and process steps. Simulation results show that a coupling efficiency over 60% can be achieved
between silicon-on-insulator waveguides and fibers.

This research is based on the Fresnel's equations and the ellipsometric technique that investigate the sample of SiO2 thinfilm
on Si substrate. The investigation is made by a probing beam which is in the form of a rotating linearly polarized
light generated by the polarizing Mach-Zehnder interferometer (pMZi). The detection of the changed polarization states
of the incident light due to reflection on the sample surfaces led to a set of unique characteristics describing a thin-film
substrate system in terms of ellipsometric parameters ψ and Δ. SiO2 thin-films were chosen to study because of their
well known characteristics. The accuracy of measurements was confirmed by comparisons to calculated values derived
from Fresnel's equations and a standard instrument. The results clearly reveal a feasibility of using the rotating linearly
polarized light produced by pMZi for a non-destructive characterization of the thin-film system.

We report an 1×3 optical drop splitter (ODS) based on a self-collimation ring resonator (SCRR) in a rod-type silicon
photonic crystal. The proposed 1×3 ODS consists of four beam splitters which are formed by changing the radius of one
row of silicon rods. When the self-collimated light with resonance frequency is launched into the ODS, the light beam
can be split into three parts come out from three drop ports while no light coming out from the through port. The splitting
ratio of the three drop beams can be controlled by tuning the radii of the beam splitters. The FDTD method is employed
to calculate the transmission of the 1×3 ODS. For the drop wavelength of 1550 nm, the free spectral range is 28.7 nm,
which almost covers the whole optical communication C-band window. This 1×3 ODS may have applications in
photonic integrated circuits.

A novel CMOS-compatible thermal compensator which can compensate most of silicon photonic integrated devices with
the positive thermal-optical effect was demonstrated using a modified asymmetric Mach-Zender-Interferometer.
Furthermore, an athermal waveguide was designed using the demonstrated thermal compensator to compensate the
conventional waveguide with the positive thermal-optical effect. Based on simulations, the temperature dependence of
the athermal compensated waveguide is stable within the temperature range of 25-52 °C and the temperature range can
be largely extended through optimizing the structure of the thermal compensator. In addition, the different length of
conventional waveguide can be compensated by adjusting some parameters.

In this paper we describe two silicon based optical modulators that have been
fabricated as part of two projects in which the Surrey group is involved, the "UK
Silicon Photonics project" funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences
Research Council (EPSRC), and the European "HELIOS" project funded by the
European Union. The modulators exploit the carrier depletion effect in MZI structures,
but have different advantages and disadvantages. One has a performance that is
close to polarisation independence, whilst the other demonstrates a very high
extinction ratio for a 40Gb/s silicon modulator. Both are shown to operate at 40Gb/s.

As a result of the low modulation efficiency of carrier-depletion Mach-Zehnder silicon optical modulator, it always
needs a high voltage around 6 V, which is very difficult to supply in an integrated high-speed CMOS chip. We
demonstrate a carrier-depletion Mach-Zehnder silicon optical modulator which works at a low voltage. Its coplanar
waveguide electrode is carefully designed to make sure the electrical wave loss along the device is low. The device
operates well at a data rate of 12.5 Gb/s, whose phase-shifter length is 2 mm. Voltages with the swinging amplitudes
being 1 V and 2 V are applied to the device with the reverse bias voltages of 0.5 V and 0.8 V. The extinction ratios are
7.67 and 12.79 dB respectively.

Broad gain lasers attract much interest due to the practical gas sensing applications. A step well structure with
double optical transitions is implemented in the active region of injectorless quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs) to
achieve extended gain bandwidth. The step well is constructed by a "short period superlattice" which provides
an equivalent GaInAlAs alloy quantum step well in each active module. The fabricated devices show an
ultrabroadband gain spectrum of 480 cm-1 (4 μm) at room temperature in pulsed mode. The laser threshold
current density is as low as 1.1 kA/cm2 which is the lowest among the broad gain QCLs emitting at similar
wavelengths and the slope efficiency is 1.6 W/A at room temperature.

For stimulates great developments in high-speed and high-capacity Cloud Computing Technologies (CCT) systems in the
future. The all-optical logic gate based on planar photonic crystal (PPC) waveguide is a promising technology. We design
an all-optical AND gate in PPC, as an ultracompact component for planar lightwave circuit integration with suitable
choice of parameters, perform this task. The PPC waveguides are composed of circular dielectric rods set in
two-dimensional triangular lattice. To realize the AND logic function, as predicted using 2D finite-difference
time-domain simulations. The combination of the ring and line defect coupler waveguides forms the device. On the basis
of our simulations, we found that the optimized scheme maximizes the power transmission above 80% at a wavelength

We proposed a three-wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer based on the characteristics of resonant coupling between
photonic crystal ring resonator (PCRR) and cavity. The structure composed of one PCRR and three cavities. The
numerical results obtained by the finite-different time-domain (FTDT) method show that it can realize the
demultiplexing of three wavelengths, i.e. 1430nm, 1490nm and 1550nm only by modulating the radius of the cavities.
The designed device not only has a compact size with 12μm×11μm but also a high efficiency, may have potential

We design a highly efficient channel drop filter (CDF) with only one channel drop micro-cavity based on photonic
crystal (PC) one-way waveguide. By means of the new nature of waveguide-cavity interaction, over 95% channel drop
efficiency can be realized in the structure. Some multichannel drop filters with high drop efficiencies are also engineered
based on such the structure. These numerical results are all calculated by using the finite element method (FEM), which

A ring-cavity synchronously-pumped optical parametric oscillator was investigated, which was pumped by a
self-mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. A periodically poled KTiOPO4 crystal was used in the oscillator, and the parametric
operation was obtained. The wavelength of the signal wave covered from 1000 nm to 1500 nm. The signal wave was
successfully frequency doubled by inserting a nonlinear BBO crystal in the cavity. The wavelength of second harmonic
could be tuned from 550 nm to 650 nm freely by cavity-length tuning. The loss of the cavity and the threshold of the
pump power, a thin glass substrate is inserted into the cavity to couple output the light, then the output power is
measured for varying pump power, based on the measurement the loss in the cavity was discussed. Furthermore, the
characteristic of output pulses is also measured.

A dual-depletion-region lumped electroabsorption modulator (DDR-LEAM) based on InP at 1550nm is designed and
fabricated. The measurement results reveal that the dual depletion region structure can reduce the device capacitance
significantly without any degradation of extinction ratio. The simulation results show that the highly doped charge layer
can concentrate almost all of the external applied voltage in MQW region and thus contribute to the identical extinction
ratio curves. The expected 3-dB bandwidth of the DDR-LEAMs using an equivalent circuit model is more than twice
lager than that of the conventional LEAM.

Scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM) and scanning spreading resistance microscopy (SSRM) both are capable of
mapping the 2-demensional carrier distribution in semiconductor device structures, which is essential in determining their electrical and optoelectronic performances. In this work, cross-sectional SCM1,2 is used to study the InGaAs/InP P-i-N junctions prepared by area-selective p-type diffusion. The diffusion lengths in the depth as well as the lateral
directions are obtained for junctions under different window sizes in mask, which imply that narrow windows may result in shallow p-n junctions. The analysis is beneficial to design and fabricate focal plane array of near infrared photodetectors with high duty-cycle and quantum efficiency. On the other hand, SSRM provides unparalleled spatial resolution (<10 nm) in electrical characterization3 that is demanded for studying low-dimensional structures. However, to derive the carrier density from the measured local conductance in individual quantum structures, reliable model for SSRM is necessary but still not well established. Based on the carrier concentration related transport mechanisms, i.e.
thermionic emission and thermionic field emission4,5, we developed a numerical model for the tip-sample Schottky
contact4. The calculation is confronted with SSRM study on the dose-calibrated quantum wells (QWs).

We propose an ultrahigh-speed all-optical wavelength conversion for polarization-shift-keying (PolSK) signal, based on
parallel dual-pump four-wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). A comprehensive broad-band
dynamic model of this kind of all-optical wavelength converter is developed. By numerical simulation, using the
broad-band dynamic model, the effects of input waves powers and wavelengths on the output performance of
wavelength conversion for PolSK signal are theoretically investigated in detail. This scheme is suitable for wide
wavelength range of input PolSK signal. It is simple, compact, and feasible for ultrahigh-speed operation.

The paper considers results of designing and modeling analogue-digital converters (ADC) based on current mirrors for
the optical systems and neural networks with parallel inputs-outputs. Such ADC, named us multichannel analog-todigital
converters based on current mirrors (M ADC CM). Compared with usual converters, for example, reading, a bitby-
bit equilibration, and so forth, have a number of advantages: high speed and reliability, simplicity, small power
consumption, the big degree of integration in linear and matrix structures. The considered aspects of designing of
M_ADC CM in binary codes. Base digit cells (ABC) of such M_ADC CM, series-pipelined are connected in structures,
consist from 20-30 CMOS the transistors, one photodiode, have low (1,5-3,5) supply voltage, work in current modes
with the maximum values of currents (10-40)μA. Therefore such new principles of realization high-speed low-discharge
M_ADC CM have allowed, as have shown modeling experiments, to reach time of transformation less than 20-30 nS at
5-6 bits of a binary code and the general power 1-5 mW. The quantity easily cascadable ABC depends on wordlength
ADC, and makes n, and provides quantity of levels of quantization equal N=2n. Such simple enough on structure M
ADC CM, having low power consumption ≤ 3 ÷ 5mW, supply voltage (3-7)V, is provided at the same time with good
dynamic characteristics (frequency of digitization even for 1,5μm

A novel scheme to realize all-optical logic gates is proposed bases on nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) in high
nonlinear fiber (HNLF). Two optical signals A and B with return-to-zero data format are injected into the HNLF together
with a continuous wave C. Thanks to the optical power variation in HNLF, nonlinear birefringence will be induced
between the two polarization axes. Thus it results in the nonlinear polarization rotation of the lightwave in the HNLF.
Both the optical signal and continuous wave are filtered out at the output of HNLF using optical band-pass filter. By
adjusting the optical power and polarization of the optical signal as well as the polarization of the polarizer with respect
to the polarization of optical signal/continuous wave, multiple all-optical logic gates can be realized. Theoretical analysis
of the simultaneously realization of the multiple optical logic gates based on NPR in HNLF is provided. And we
demonstrated the feasibility of the scheme by realizing all optical
"and", "not", "nxor", "A•B", "A•B ", half-adder and
half-subtracter at 10Gb/s operation.

A high frequency optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) using only low frequency optical and microwave devices is attractive
as it provides a low cost and high quality solution at the same time. In this paper, a novel OEO scheme is reported. The
proposed optoelectronic oscillator includes a 5GHz directly modulated DFB laser, an optical circulator, a 10GHz
photodetector, a 10GHz RF amplifier, and a bandpass RF filter with a central frequency at 5GHz. The OEO oscillates at
the 5GHz and with a continuous wave injected into the directly modulated DFB laser, higher harmonics will be
generated. The harmonic order can be controlled by the frequency difference between the free running DFB laser and
injection lightwave. An optical domain combined dual-loop configuration with polarization-beam splitter and a
polarization-beam combiner is employed to suppress the sidemodes in each single loop. Experiment results are proposed
to verify the scheme, in which 40GHz microwave is obtained.

We have fabricated strain-reduced InAs quantum dots (QDs) by boron incorporation grown on GaAs(100) substrate. The
size of uncapped InAs QDs was increased with boron incorporation. The effect of boron on the PL spectra of InAs QDs
capped by an InGaAs strain-reducing layer wasn't obvious. However, when boron atoms were incorporated in InAs QDs
capped by a GaAs overgrown layer, the PL intensity was strongly enhanced, and the PL peak shifted towards a longer
wavelength. It was found that the incorporation of boron atoms within the InAs QDs could drastically reduce the In/Ga
intermixing effects during capping coverage.
