AbstractThe emergence of cylindrical vector beam (CVB) multiplexing has opened new avenues for high-capacity optical communication. Although several configurations have been developed to couple/separate CVBs, the CVB multiplexer/demultiplexer remains elusive due to lack of effective off-axis polarization control technologies. Here we report a straightforward approach to realize off-axis polarization control for CVB multiplexing/demultiplexing based on a metal–dielectric–metal metasurface. We show that the left- and right-handed circularly polarized (LHCP/RHCP) components of CVBs are independently modulated via spin-to-orbit interactions by the properly designed metasurface, and then simultaneously multiplexed and demultiplexed due to the reversibility of light path and the conservation of vector mode. We also show that the proposed multiplexers/demultiplexers are broadband (from 1310 to 1625 nm) and compatible with wavelength-division-multiplexing. As a proof of concept, we successfully demonstrate a four-channel CVB multiplexing communication, combining wavelength-division-multiplexing and polarization-division-multiplexing with a transmission rate of 1.56 Tbit/s and a bit-error-rate of 10−6 at the receive power of −21.6 dBm. This study paves the way for CVB multiplexing/demultiplexing and may benefit high-capacity CVB communication.

A photonic crystal waveguide coupled structure can be constructed by putting three photonic crystal waveguides in parallel and adjacent form. Study the coupling of the approximate solution interference acts and the self-image phenomenon of this multi-mode waveguide system based on the guided mode propagation analysis method, a three-channels multimode interference wavelength division multiplexing is designed. The presented device not only has a high transmission rate, but also has the advantages of multiple wavelength selection and may have potential and practical applications in the field of photonic integrated circuits in future.

Abstract Free space optical (FSO) communication systems are gaining high popularity from the last decade due to its various advantages such as no license spectrum, low-cost implementation etc. In this work, 160 Gbps data is transmitted over 8 km FSO link by adopting alternate mark inversion (AMI), wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and polarization division multiplexing (PDM) schemes. The results are reported in terms of Q factor, bit error rate, signal to noise ratio, total received power and eye diagrams.

A system that can be used to generate the new optical communication bandwidths using a Gaussian pulse propagating within a nonlinear microring resonator double add/drop multiplexing system is discussed. By using the wide range of the Gaussian input pulses, for instance, when the input pulses of the common lasers with center wavelength of 1,500 nm are used. Results obtained shows that more available wavelength bands from the optical communication band can be generated, which can be used to form new dense wavelength division multiplexing bands, whereas the use of the very high capacity more than 200 channels for personal wavelength and network applications is plausible.

AbstractOptical wireless communication in space is attracting great consideration due to high speed, high capacity, no EMI, high security, and wide bandwidth. OWC has edge over microwave communication because in laser based communication, relay feature saves the time of the system. In this paper, different interference reduction techniques in wavelength division multiplexing based inter-satellite optical wireless system are presented at different data rates 10, 20, and 40 Gbps. Hybrid multiplexing using wide division multiplexing and time division multiplexing is proposed first and second technique proposed is polarization interleaving in IsOWC systems. Dense channel spacing system with diverse modulations is investigated further such as Chirped, differential phase shift keying, and alternate mark inversion (AMI). Q factor is the performance evaluation parameters for different distances.
