The requirement of the modern application is to transmit wide bandwidth of signal with the low latency. The optical fibers provide wide transmission bandwidth along with very little delay as well as choice on choosing transmission medium for high data rate. However, Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) is a nonlinear optical effect that restricts power level into a fiber to few milliwatts. It degrades the Q-factor and consequently the bit error rate of an optical fiber link. For suppression of SBS, various approaches have been used previously such as PSK, ASK, FSK, CSRZ-DQPSK etc. Among all the previous techniques, CSRZ-DQPSK transmitter is considered as the most efficient one for suppression of SBS. However, it consists of some drawbacks such as low spectrum efficiency, susceptibility to phase variation and short communication range, due to which requirement arises of upgrading the previous work. Therefore, in the proposed work (i.e. CSRZ-DP-QPSK), DP-QPSK scheme is used which makes the system more efficient as it has high spectrum efficiency and improved sensitivity. Also, the communication range is elongated in present work. The performance evaluation of CSRZ-DP-QPSK approach has been performed in terms of Q-Factor, BER, and threshold. Also, the comparative analysis of the proposed approach with conventional approaches has been performed and from the obtained results it has been demonstrated that proposed work is more efficient than conventional one as it has better SBS tolerance and improved BER.

AbstractIn this work, an experimental analysis of the performance of different types of quasi-randomly distributed reflectors inscribed into a single-mode fiber as a sensing mirror is presented. These artificially-controlled backscattering fiber reflectors are used in short linear cavity fiber lasers. In particular, laser emission and sensor application features are analyzed when employing optical tapered fibers, micro-drilled optical fibers and 50 μm-waist or 100 μm-waist micro-drilled tapered fibers (MDTF). Single-wavelength laser with an output power level of about 8.2 dBm and an optical signal-to-noise ratio of 45 dB were measured when employing a 50 μm-waist micro-drilled tapered optical fiber. The achieved temperature sensitivities were similar to those of FBGs; however, the strain sensitivity improved more than one order of magnitude in comparison with FBG sensors, attaining slope sensitivities as good as 18.1 pm/με when using a 50 μm-waist MDTF as distributed reflector.

Machine learning (ML) methodologies have been looked upon recently as a potential candidate for mitigating nonlinearity issues in optical communications. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a 40-Gb/s 256-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signal-based Radio over Fiber (RoF) system for 50 km of standard single mode fiber length which utilizes support vector machine (SVM) decision method to indicate an effective nonlinearity mitigation. The influence of different impairments in the system is evaluated that includes the influences of Mach-Zehnder Modulator nonlinearities, in-phase and quadrature phase skew of the modulator. By utilizing SVM, the results demonstrated in terms of bit error rate and eye linearity suggest that impairments are significantly reduced and licit input signal power span of 5dBs is enlarged to 15 dBs.

Zinc is one of the important material in human blood because of its effect in defensive system work for properly and it plays an important role in growth, wound healing Medically zinc concentration effect directly in skin health so it's important to make a sensor for discover zinc and its concentration change in human blood for each of male and female. Optical fibers are used as a sensor for detecting zinc and its concentration by transmitted laser signal through the optical fiber by using different types (single mode fiber SMF, photonic crystal fiber PCF) by studying the results of output laser the detection can be seen for zinc concentration change, the design of small PCF which the same LMA_10 but smaller in its radius of core and cladding even the distance between cores. The smallest PCF size has the best detection for all zinc concentration change in blood all that was done by comsol Multiphysics 5.4 simulation program

Nonlinearity is one major problem broadband communication faced on utilizing the high capacity of optical fibers. That is due to scattering  phenomenon, which results in the deviations of wavelengths and energies. The dithering method is applied in the attempt to reduce those scatterings. In this paper, we propose the performance of a dithering technique based new system OFDM-RoF using two modulator scheme and coherent detection to alleviate the characteristics nonlinearity applied on the system. The dithering technique inputs signal externally to the signal processing systems to eliminate the effects of nonlinearity. Here, we report the performance of a dithering technique based on the OFDM-RoF, the results our experiment showed that the applied dithering with 16 QAM modulation can make the system more reliable and increases  the power level 1.55% with 193.1 THz, 2% with  100 THz and 1.99% ~ 200 THz, the best condition are with f<sub>d</sub> &lt; f<sub>c</sub>.

The integration of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into optical fibers allows the application of their unique properties in robust and versatile devices. Here, we present a laser-induced technique to obtain the deposition of CNTs onto the fiber optics tips of multimode interference (MMI) devices. An MMI device is constructed by splicing a section of no-core fiber (NCF) to a single-mode fiber (SMF). The tip of the MMI device is immersed into a liquid solution of CNTs and laser light is launched into the MMI device. CNTs solutions using water and methanol as solvents were tested. In addition, the use of a polymer dispersant polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in the CNTs solutions was also studied. We found that the laser-induced deposition of CNTs performed in water-based solutions generates non-uniform deposits. On the other hand, the laser-induced deposition performed with methanol solutions generates uniform deposits over the fiber tip when no PVP is used and deposition at the center of the fiber when PVP is present in the CNTs solution. The results show the crucial role of the solvent on the spatial features of the laser-induced deposition process. Finally, we register and study the reflection spectra of the as-fabricated CNTs deposited MMI devices.
