In this paper, we propose a comprehensive electro-optical co-design framework for power-efficient high-speed VCSEL transmitter targeting at 50 Gbaud. The framework integrates a rate-equation based VCSEL chip model and driver circuit models. Subject to the transmitter specifications defined by IEEE 4...

Dispersion engineering of microresonators is very important for applications, such as optical comb generation which desires wideband flat and small dispersion. In this paper, dispersion investigation has been carried out for whispering gallery mode (WGM) microresonators fabricated by laser micromach...

We demonstrate an ultrahigh-resolution optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) system by using a mode-locked laser as the pulse source and a linear optical sampling technique to detect the reflected signals. Taking advantage of the ultrashort input pulse, the large detection-bandwidth, as well as t...

In underwater visible light communication (UVLC) systems, it is important to support mobility of transceivers and enhance both the dynamic range of communication distance and the field of view (FOV) because the received optical power experiences significant variations when the transmission distance...

In this paper, we present an application-oriented investigation of parasitic limitation on the large signal performance of VCSELs when multilevel modulation is applied. VCSELs with different damping are taken into consideration. The parasitic parameters are extracted by fitting the measured <inli...

As for vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL)-based optical pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) interconnection system, apart from the universal signal distortions like Gaussian noise and fiber dispersion, direct modulation of VCSEL specially induces level nonlinearity and level-dependent nois...

A single-shot distributed dynamic strain sensor is proposed with high spatial resolution and broad detection bandwidth. Linear frequency modulated pulse is employed as the probe pulse, which not only solves the trade-off between spatial resolution and sensing distance, but also avoids the time-consu...

We studied the characteristics of coupled-core four-core fibers (CC-4CFs) with different core pitches both theoretically and experimentally. The spatial mode dispersions of different fibers were analyzed, and the result agrees well with theoretical ones. In the experiment, we achieved a spatial mode...
