WU3 2:15 PM - 2:30 PM
Nonbinary LDPC-Coded OFDM Over
Four/Eight-Mode Fibers with Mode-
Dependent Loss, C. Lin, I. B. Djordjevic,
D. Zou, M. Arabaci and M. Cvijetic, University of
Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA
We propose a non-binary LDPC coded modemultiplexed
coherent optical OFDM system
suitable for transmission of 1.28 Tb/s 16-QAM
signals over 2000 km of few-mode fiber with
mode dependent loss, in strong coupling regime.
WX3 2:15 PM - 2:30 PM
Metal Quenching of Radiative Emission
in Metal-Clad Nanolasers, D. G. Deppe,
M. Li and X. Yang, University of Central Florida,
Orlando, FL, USA
Metal quenching of the radiative emission is
analyzed for metal-clad nanolasers. Emission
effects due the metal quenching are shown to be
mistaken for laser operation of metal-clad
nanolasers.
WU4 2:30 PM - 2:45 PM
Demonstration of Add/Drop Multiplexer
for 100-Gbit/s RZ-QPSK Channels over
Spatially Multiplexed Orbital Angular
Momentum Modes, N. Ahmed, H. Huang,
Y. Yue, Y. Yan, Y. Ren and A. E. Willner,
University of Southern California, Los Angeles,
CA, USA
We experimentally demonstrate the add/drop
multiplexer for two orbital angular momentum
(OAM) modes carrying 100-Gbit/s RZ-QPSK
channels. An OSNR penalty of < 1.6 dB for
added and dropped channels is observed.
WV3 2:30 PM - 2:45 PM
Gain and Laser Characteristics of InGaN
Quantum Wells on Ternary InGaN
Substrates, J. Zhang and N. Tansu, Lehigh
University, Bethlehem, PA, USA
Optical gain properties of InGaN quantum wells
on ternary substrates are analyzed for visible
lasers. Larger optical gains are obtained by
employing ternary substrates, which indicate its
potential for green-emitting diode lasers.
WW3 2:30 PM - 2:45 PM
Intra-Cavity Frequency Doubling in
Photonic Crystal Nanocavity Quantum
Dot Lasers, Y. Ota, K. Watanabe, S. Iwamoto
and Y. Arakawa, University of Tokyo, Tokyo,
Japan
We report visible light generation via intra-cavity
frequency doubling in photonic crystal
nanocavity quantum dot lasers. A strong field
enhancement in the nanocavity enables the
efficient conversion process, even with only a few
intra-cavity photons.
WX4 2:30 PM - 2:45 PM
Estimation of the Upper Bound of the
Modal Gain Sustainable by MDM
Waveguides, D. Handapangoda, I. Rukhlenko
and M. Premaratne, Monash University -
Clayton, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Knowing the upper limit of gain ensuring
complete loss compensation is vital for engineering
plasmonic waveguides. We analytically
estimate the maximal modal gain of active metaldielectric-metal
waveguides operating below the
plasmon resonance frequency.
WX5 2:45 PM - 3:00 PM
Comparison of Confinement and Loss of
Plasmonic Waveguides, X. Sun, M. Alam,
J. Aitchison and M. Mojahedi, University of
Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada
We have compared a number of well known
plasmonic guides in terms of power confinement,
normalized power density and propagation
loss. We have identified the relative advantages
and limitations of these guides.

Optics in the Signal Processing Chain,
T. K. Woodward, A. Agarwal, T. Banwell and
P. C. Toliver, Applied Communication Sciences,
Red Bank, NJ, USA
Technologies useful in optical communications,
particularly coherent methods and nonlinear
optics, are also applicable to signal processing
in other domains. Inter-relationships between the
two fields in these areas will be reviewed,

de València, Valencia, Valencia, Spain

of the performance of a short-cavity
mode-locked fiber laser with fine repetition
