GRAND BALLROOM F GRAND BALLROOM G HARBOUR ROOM A GRAND BALLROOM A<br />
MU1 1:30 PM - 1:45 PM<br />
CD Equalization with Non-maximally<br />
Decimated DFT Filter Bank, I. Slim,<br />
L. G. Baltar, A. Mezghani, J. A. Nossek, Technical<br />
University of Munich, Munich, Germany and<br />
F. N. Hauske, Huawei Technologies Duesseldorf<br />
GmbH, Germany<br />
We perform CD compensation in the frequency<br />
domain through non-maximally decimated DFT filter<br />
bank with one-tap per sub-channel equalizer. Larger<br />
CD values are tolerated at the cost of slightly increased<br />
complexity compared to overlap-and-discard method.<br />
MV1 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM (Invited)<br />
Optical Interconnects for Computing<br />
Applications, B.-J. Offrein, IBM Research,<br />
Rueschlikon, Switzerland<br />
Optical interconnects are now emerging in<br />
computing applications. A tight integration of<br />
electrical and optical functions and novel<br />
assembly techniques are required to meet anticipated<br />
bandwidth, efficiency and cost<br />
requirements.<br />
MW1 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM (Invited)<br />
Enhancing the Efficiency of Photovoltaic<br />
Solar Cells with Photonic<br />
Nanostructures, G. Veronis, C. Min,<br />
C. H. Granier and J. P. Dowling, Louisiana State<br />
University, Baton Rouge, LA, USA<br />
We demonstrate that periodic metallic gratings<br />
can greatly enhance the optical absorption efficiency<br />
of thin-film solar cells. We also introduce<br />
aperiodic multilayer structures with highly directional<br />
absorptivity for both polarizations for solar<br />
thermophotovoltaic systems.<br />
MX1 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM (Invited)<br />
Light Management for Sunlight and<br />
Thermal Emission, Z. Yu and S. Fan,<br />
Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA<br />
Light management is critically important for solar<br />
conversion devices. Similarly, in the reverse<br />
process when other forms of energy are<br />
converted into thermal radiation, light<br />
management can also be applied to enhance<br />
thermal emission.<br />

Technique for Ultra High Speed Coherent<br />
Optical Communications, M. A. Castrillon,<br />
D. A. Morero and M. R. Hueda, Universidad<br />
Nacional de Cordoba, Córdoba, Argentina<br />
We propose a novel cycle slip mitigation algorithm<br />
suitable for next generation OTNs.<br />
Simulation results of a 100 Gb/s DP-QPSK<br />
optical system show almost no degradation at a<br />
post-FEC BER of 10 -6 .<br />
MU3 2:00 PM - 2:15 PM<br />
Real-time Comparison of Blind Phase<br />
Search with Different Angle Resolutions<br />
for 16-QAM, A. Al-Bermani, University of<br />
Paderborn, Paderborn, Germany<br />
The influence of phase noise related to 16 and<br />
32 test carrier phase angles of BPS carrier<br />
recovery in a 16-QAM transmission system has<br />
been investigated in real-time with a data rate of<br />
2.5 Gb/s.<br />

Hybrid III-V on Silicon Lasers, B. Ben<br />
Bakir, A. Descos, D. Bordel, Ph. Grosse,<br />
N. Olivier, J-M. Fédéli, C. Kopp and<br />
S. Menezo, Commissariat à l’Énergie<br />
Atomique, Grenoble, France<br />
We report on hybrid III–V on Silicon lasers<br />
with adiabatic coupling. Fabry-Pérot laser<br />
with 16mW output power, integrated racetrack<br />
laser and photodetector, as well as<br />
widely tunable laser with 45nm tuning range<br />
are presented.<br />

Inverse Electromagnetic Design for<br />
Subwavelength Light Trapping in Solar<br />
Cells, V. Ganapati, O. Miller and<br />
E. Yablonovitch, University of California -<br />
Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, USA<br />
In the subwavelength regime, the optimal surface<br />
texture for light trapping in solar cells remains to<br />
be found. We use computational inverse electromagnetic<br />
design to find the optimal nanoscale<br />
surface texture.<br />
MX2 2:00 PM - 2:15 PM<br />
Resonant Dielectric-Grating Polarizers<br />
for Normal Incidence Operation, K. J. Lee,<br />
J. Giese, I. L. Ajayi, R. Magnusson, University of<br />
Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX, USA, and<br />
E. Johnson, Clemson University, Clemson, SC,<br />
USA<br />
Design, fabrication, and characterization of<br />
guided-mode resonance polarizers with single<br />
dielectric layer are presented. These Si3N4 and<br />
TiO2 polarizers show high transmittance for TM<br />
and low transmittance for TE polarization at<br />
wavelength 1550 nm.<br />

On the Performance of Timing<br />
Synchronization Techniques for<br />
Optical OFDM IMDD Transmission,<br />

We do a comparative study of different timing<br />
synchronization techniques for optical OFDM<br />
IMDD transmission in single-mode fiber<br />
channel. Some modifications of Park’s method<br />
are proposed in order to obtain a more robust<br />
timing estimator.<br />

University of California - Berkeley, Berkeley, CA,<br />
USA<br />
Reflectivity of high contrast subwavelength<br />
grating (HCG) is experimentally characterized<br />
with the HCG being top reflector in an all-passfilter<br />
cavity. Large fabrication tolerance of HCG is<br />
demonstrated. Good agreement is achieved<br />
between experiment and simulation.<br />

Coherent optical OFDM frame synchronization<br />
over 2,000 km of optical fiber at a sampling rate<br />
of 28 Gs/s is presented. A short training<br />

Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, USA<br />
GaAs VCSELs are transferred onto hybrid<br />
substrates using Van der Waals bonding. Arrays<br />
transferred onto Si show that transfer technique<br />
does not degrade laser characteristics and<br />
transfer onto PET demonstrate flexible VCSEL<br />
arrays.<br />

Low-Contrast Top Gratings in High-<br />
Contrast SOI Waveguides for Integrated<br />
Holographic Filters, M. Verbist, D. J. Van<br />
Thourhout and W. Bogaerts, Ghent University,<br />

We design integrated holographic filters with any<br />
transfer function by weakly modulating the top<br />
cladding of SOI waveguides. Our calculations are<br />
confirmed by full-vectorial simulations. Grating<br />
are fabricated with focused ion beam.<br />
