HARBOUR ROOM B GRAND BALLROOM B GRAND BALLROOM C GRAND BALLROOM E
WZ3 4:15 PM - 4:30 PM
Silicon Waveguide Wavelength-selective
Switch for On-chip WDM
Communications, K. Miura, Y. Shoji and
T. Mizumoto, Tokyo Institute of Technology,
Meguro-ku, Tokyo, Japan
A wavelength selective switch composed of
microring resonators and MZI-based thermooptic
switches is fabricated in an SOI waveguide.
A wavelength-selective transmittance change of
9.7 dB is demonstrated at a wavelength channel
of 1.548 µm.
WAA3 4:15 PM - 4:30 PM
BER Performance of Non-Line-of-Sight
Ultraviolet Links with Spatial Diversity in
Turbulence Atmosphere, H. Xiao, Y. Zuo,
J. Wu, Y. Li and J. Lin, Beijing University of
Posts & Telecommunications, Beijing, China
The BER performance of NLOS UV links with ML
spatial diversity scheme is investigated for
various fading correlation at different receivers.
We also compare ML diversity detection with OC
scheme with different turbulence intensity.
WBB3 4:15 PM - 4:30 PM
Compensation of Group Delay Ripple in
Chirped Fiber Bragg Gratings and its
Application in Chirped Pulse Laser
Radar, M. U. Piracha, D. Nguyen and
P. J. Delfyett, University of Central Florida,
Orlando, FL, USA
Spectral phase modulation is used to compensate
the group delay ripple (< +/-50ps) of a
chirped fiber Bragg grating (dispersion =
1651ps/nm) to achieve a range resolution of
320µm in a chirped pulse laser radar.
WY3 4:30 PM - 4:45 PM
Practical Supercontinuum Source for Few
Hundred Femtosecond Seed Pulses,
S. Domingue and R. A. Bartels, Colorado State
University, Fort Collins, CO, USA
We present measurements and theoretical work
demonstrating the drastic reduction of polarization
instability driven noise, improving the
stability of polarized supercontinuum generated
in all normal dispersion highly nonlinear fiber.
WZ4 4:30 PM - 4:45 PM
Encapsulation of a Microtoroid Resonator
Side-Coupled to a Fiber Taper into a
Polymer Matrix, F. Monifi, Washington
University in Saint Louis, St. Louis, MO, USA
We have packaged an ultra-high-quality factor
(over 10 million) on-chip micro-toroid inside a
low-refractive index polymer and showed its
roboustness in harsh environment and its ability
for thermal sensing.
WBB4 4:30 PM - 4:45 PM
Optoelectronic 3D Laser Scanning
Technical Vision System based on
Dynamic Triangulation, L. C. Basaca,
O. Sergiyenko, J. C. Rodriguez and M. Rivas,
Universidad Autónoma de Baja California,
Mexicali, Mexico
Using a laser as emitter and a scanning aperture
as sensor we developed a vision system capable
of measuring the 3D coordinates of detected
objects. This system is intended for autonomous
robot navigation.
WZ5 4:45 PM - 5:00 PM
Compact TE/TM-pass Polarizer Based on
Lithium Niobate on Insulator Ridge
Waveguides, E. Saitoh, K. Saitoh and
M. Koshiba, Hokkaido University, Sapporo,
Hokkaido, Japan
We propose TE/TM-pass polarizer based on loss
mechanism in leaky lithium niobate on insulator
ridge waveguides. We show compact polarizers
can be designed for both TE and TM polarizations
by changing the height of waveguide.
WBB5 4:45 PM - 5:00 PM
Holographic Capability for Imaging
Through Scattering Colloidal Flowing
Fluids, M. Paturzo, P. Ferraro, A. Finizio,
P. Memmolo, Istituto Nazionale di Ottica
Applicata, Pozzuoli, Italy, D. Balduzzi, R. Puglisi
and A. Galli, Istituto Sperimentale Italiano
“Lazzaro Spallanzani”, Rivolta d’Adda, Cremona,
Italy
We show that sharp imaging is possible in
microfluidics in flowing turbid media by digital
holography. In flowing liquids with suspended
colloidal particles, a clear vision cannot be
recovered by any other microscopic imaging
technique.
