Spatial Multiplexing for Long Haul<br />
Transmission, S. Randel, R. Ryf, and<br />
P. J. Winzer, Alcatel-Lucent, Holmdel, NJ, USA<br />
Spatial multiplexing has the potential to overcome<br />
the capacity-bottleneck of single-fiber<br />
long-haul links. We review recent experimental<br />
progress and discuss relevant performance vs.<br />
complexity trade-offs from a systems perspective.<br />
WV1 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM (Invited)<br />
Bismide Alloys for Photonic Devices:<br />
Potential and Progress, S. J. Sweeney,<br />
University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, UK<br />
This paper discusses how the addition of<br />
Bismuth to III-V alloys gives rise to improved<br />
band structure potentially offering reduced nonradiative<br />
losses and improved temperature<br />
stability for de devices in the near- and midinfrared.<br />
WW1 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM (Invited)<br />
Efficient Generation and Wavelength<br />
Conversion of Single Photons from<br />
Quantum Nanophotonic Devices,<br />
K. Srinivasan, S. Ates, I. Agha, M. Davanço,<br />
M. T. Rakher, National Institute of Standards and<br />
Technology, Gaithersburg, MD, USA and A.<br />
Badolato, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY,<br />
USA<br />
Single photon sources based on a self-assembled<br />
quantum dot in nanophotonic waveguides,<br />
gratings, and cavities are interfaced with<br />
nonlinear media and electro-optic modulators to<br />
demonstrate quantum frequency conversion and<br />
amplitude modulation of single photon states.<br />
\<br />
WX1 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM (Invited)<br />
Laser Science in a Nanoscopic Gap,<br />
R. F. Oulton, Imperial College London, London,<br />
UK<br />
We review recent progress on plasmonic lasers<br />
that exhibit confinement to 1/20th of the wavelength.<br />
Our new experiments now exploit this<br />
confinement to strongly enhance light-matter<br />
interactions suggesting possible applications for<br />
plasmonic lasers.<br />
WU2 2:00 PM - 2:15 PM<br />
Effect of Bend Radius on Equalizer<br />
Complexity for Multimode Coherent<br />
MIMO Transmission, H. H. Al-Hashimi,<br />
University Erlangen-Nuernberg, Erlangen,<br />
Germany, H. Buelow, Alcatel-Lucent, Erlangen,<br />
Germany and B. Schmauss, University of<br />
Erlangen-Nuremberg, Erlangen, Germany<br />
The required equalizer complexity for GI-MMF<br />
(graded index multi-mode fiber) transmitting 15<br />
spatial modes is numerically calculated with<br />
different bend radius in 112 Gb/s DP-QPSK<br />
transmission<br />
WV2 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM (Invited)<br />
III-Nitride Lasers Based on Bulk<br />
Nonpolar/Semipolar GaN, J. W. Raring,<br />
Soraa, Fremont, CA, USA<br />
GaN laser diodes will fuel a market explosion for<br />
emerging display and specialty lighting applications.<br />
Here we report performance advances in<br />
nonpolar/semipolar orientated blue and green<br />
laser diodes with high efficiency and high output<br />
power.<br />
WW2 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM (Invited)<br />
Low Photon Number Nonlinear a Single<br />
Quantum Dot Coupled to a Photonic<br />
Crystal Cavity, E. Waks, D. Sridharan, R. Bose,<br />
H. Kim, University of Maryland, College Park,<br />
MD, USA and G. S. Solomon, National Institute<br />
of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD,<br />
USA<br />
We describe our work on engineering nonlinear<br />
optical devices using quantum dots coupled to<br />
optical resonators. These systems enable large<br />
optical Stark shifts and all optical switching with<br />
low photon numbers.<br />
WX2 2:00 PM - 2:15 PM<br />
Spontaneous Emission Rate<br />
Enhancement using Gold Nanorods,<br />
N. Kumar, K. Messer and M. Eggleston,<br />
University of California - Berkeley, Berkeley, CA,<br />
USA<br />
We present a 7nm bare InGaAsP quantum well<br />
coupled to a gold nanorod. Photoluminescence<br />
measurements show an increased spontaneous<br />
emission rate of at least 4.5x without sacrificing<br />
efficiency.<br />
