We propose a rectangular liquid-infiltrated dual-core polymer optical fiber (POF) for short-range communication systems by the beam propagation method (BPM). The POF multi/demultiplexer (MUX/DEMUX) at the wavelengths of 0.52/0.65-μm, 0.57/0.65-μm, and 0.52/0.57-μm are devised. The simulation results demonstrate that the ultrashort length of three ultrashort POF couplers are 183.6 μm, 288 μm, and 799.5 μm. Compared with the conventional optical fiber couplers, these results could have significant applications in the miniaturization of optical devices for visible light communication.

This research introduces a numerical design of an air-core vortex polymer optical fiber in cyclic transparent optical polymer (CYTOP) that propagates 32 orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes, i.e., it may support up to 64 stable OAM-states considering left- and right-handed circular polarizations. This fiber seeks to be an alternative to increase the capacity of short-range optical communication systems multiplexed by modes, in agreement with the high demand of low-cost, insensitive-to-bending and easy-to-handle fibers similar to others optical fibers fabricated in polymers. This novel fiber possesses unique characteristics: a diameter of 50 µm that would allow a high mechanical compatibility with commercially available polymer optical fibers, a difference of effective index between neighbor OAM modes of around 10−4 over a bandwidth from 1 to 1.6 µm, propagation losses of approximately 15 × 10−3 dB/m for all OAM modes, and a very low dispersion for OAM higher order modes (±l = 16) of up to +2.5 ps/km-nm compared with OAM lower order modes at a telecom wavelength of 1.3 µm, in which the CYTOP exhibits a minimal attenuation. The spectra of mutual coupling coefficients between modes are computed considering small bends of up to 3 cm of radius and slight ellipticity in the ring of up to 5%. Results show lower-charge weights for higher order OAM modes.

This paper presents a numerical simulation investigation on the bit error rate in a chaotic-secured fiber channel and a conventional fiber channel when propagating independently. The investigated communication system uses the pulse-amplitude modulation scheme (4-PAM) at the bit rate of 10 Gbps, the fiber length of 100 km, and the operation wavelength of 1550 nm. Our simulation results demonstrate both chaotic and non-chaotic transmission channels can well operate with the bit rate up to 20 Gbps with the BER smaller than 10-5 if dispersion and fiber loss issues are appropriately compensated without needing forwarderror-correction, showing high potential in physically secured optical fiber communication systems.

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a new adaptive layered asymmetrically-clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ALACO-OFDM) technique as a method to improve the spectral efficiency of optical system, especially visible light communication (VLC). Particle swarm optimisation (PSO)-based LACO-OFDM method is used for this purpose and the channel capacities are studied. Simulations using variable layers are carried out to validate the theoretical steps. The simulation results indicate that the ALACO-OFDM technique has significantly improve the spectral efficiency compared to previous techniques such as ACO-OFDM. Moreover, it is shown that channel capacities of different layers are significantly improved when electrical power is increased.
