We report charge-compensated modified uni-traveling-carrier photodiodes (MUTC-PDs) with high photocurrent and fast response, grown using liquid group-V precursor, in an AIXTRON MOCVD system. The liquid group-V precursors involve less toxicity with better decomposition characteristics. Device fabrication is completed with standard processing techniques with BCB passivation. DC and RF measurements are carried out using a single mode fiber at 1.55 μm. For a 24-μm-diameter device (with diode ideality factor of 1.34), the dark current is 32.5 nA and the 3-dB bandwidth is ≫20 GHz at a reverse bias of 5 V, which are comparable to the theoretical values. High photocurrent of over 150.0 mA from larger diameter (>60 μm) devices is obtained. The maximum DC responsivity at 1.55 μm wavelength is 0.51 A/W, without antireflection coating. These photodiodes play a key role in the progress of the future THz communication systems.

AbstractHigh-speed single-mode fiber-optic communication systems have been presented based on various hybrid multiplexing schemes. Refractive index step and silica-doped germanium percentage parameters are also preserved during their technological boundaries of attention. It is noticed that the connect design parameters suffer more nonlinearity with the number of connects. Two different propagation techniques have been used to investigate the transmitted data rates as a criterion to enhance system performance. The first technique is soliton propagation, where the control parameters lead to equilibrium between the pulse spreading due to dispersion and the pulse shrinking because of nonlinearity. The second technique is the MTDM technique where the parameters are adjusted to lead to minimum dispersion. Two cases are investigated: no dispersion cancellation and dispersion cancellation. The investigations are conducted over an enormous range of the set of control parameters. Thermal effects are considered through three basic quantities, namely the transmission data rates, the dispersion characteristics, and the spectral losses.

In this paper, the general theory and polarization property of RB in single mode fiber is discussed. According to the theoretical analysis results, the bidirectional carrying system with a polarization rotating device for analog radio frequency (RF) signal is set up. The relationship of the system CRN and the different polarization state by the polarization rotating device is studied. The results show that the RB light polarization state of backward fiber end can keep to perpendicular to that of forward light when backward lights polarization is orthogonal forward lights polarization. So utilizing orthogonal polarization method for decreasing CRN can be carried on. The system performance is analyzed by simulation. The simulation results show that CRN of the bidirectional communication system on a single mode fiber can be inhibited by using the method and RB light can decrease by an order of magnitude.

This paper presents a review of the development of optical fibers made of multiple materials, particularly including silica glass, soft glass, polymers, hydrogels, biomaterials, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and Polyperfluoro-Butenylvinyleth (CYTOP). The properties of the materials are discussed according to their various applications. Typical fabrication techniques for specialty optical fibers based on these materials are introduced, which are mainly focused on extrusion, drilling, and stacking methods depending on the materials’ thermal properties. Microstructures render multiple functions of optical fibers and bring more flexibility in fiber design and device fabrication. In particular, micro-structured optical fibers made from different types of materials are reviewed. The sensing capability of optical fibers enables smart monitoring. Widely used techniques to develop fiber sensors, i.e., fiber Bragg grating and interferometry, are discussed in terms of sensing principles and fabrication methods. Lastly, sensing applications in oil/gas, optofluidics, and particularly healthcare monitoring using specialty optical fibers are demonstrated. In comparison with conventional silica-glass single-mode fiber, state-of-the-art specialty optical fibers provide promising prospects in sensing applications due to flexible choices in materials and microstructures.

This article describes how few mode fiber (FMF) has found its applications in optical communication systems. We report a novel concept of sensing physiological parameters using FMF, which utilizes Space Division Multiplexing technology (SDM) where SDM supports multiple modes/ paths of fixed bandwidth channels which increases the data carrying capacity in an optical fiber. Here we have considered two linearly polarized (LP) modes namely LP01 and LP11. A segment of FMF is used as sensing element, where it is spliced between two segments of single mode fiber (SMF). The intermodal interference between LP01 mode and LP11 mode of FMF provides an interference spectrum which is sensitive to change in physiological parameters applied on FMF. Hence any change in physiological parameter results to shift in wavelength in interference spectrum which makes FMF as a sensor
