Re-shaping of an ultrashort Gaussian-like-pulse
into a flat-top pulse is demonstrated using an
integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI).
7.8-ps Gaussian-like-pulses are reshaped into
nearly chirp-free 17.1-ps and 20.0-ps flat-toppulses
based on two different linear filtering
schemes.

A photonics integrated circuit for demultiplexing
and amplification of coherent combs is demonstrated.
The circuit utilises injection locking to
amplifiy and maintain coherence between optical
lines. Coherence between optical lines of the
device is analysed.
ThS3 2:15 PM - 2:30 PM
Optimal Home Circuit Grouping in LOBS-
HC Rings, J. Li, Information Engineering
College, Minzu University of China, Beijing,

Nationalities, Wuhan, China and C. Qiao, State
University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY,
USA
We investigate the open problem of optimal
home circuit (HC) grouping in LOBS-HC rings,
and formulate it using Integer Linear
Programming (ILP). Numerical results show that
our ILP solutions require minimum wavelengths.

Feedback in Fiberized CPA Systems for
Sub-Picosecond, High Contrast Pulses,
D. Nguyen, M. U. Piracha and P. J. Delfyett,
University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA
Sub-picosecond, transform-limited pulses with
parabolic optical intensity profile were generated
for fiber CPA systems. By utilizing spectral
modulation, pulse peak power was increased by
5 times with CFBG stretcher, and 6.2 times with
fiber stretcher.

Dependence and Chirp Compensation,
Y.-J. Chiu and J.-P. Wu, National Sun Yat-Sen
University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan
A low-pattern-dependent-and-chirp-compensated
data transmission is demonstrated from
monolithic integration of EAM and SOA. By
reversed saturation behaviors between EAM and
SOA, clear 10Gbit/s eye diagram with 0.6 GHz
chirp-compensation and enhanced signal-tonoise
ratio is realized.

Accurate PMD Measurement by
Observation of Data-Bearing Signals,
M. Taylor, Tektronix, Inc., Beaverton, OR, USA
and R. M. Sova, Johns Hopkins University,
Laurel, MD, USA
PMD is measured by the exact distortion it
applies to a 10Gbaud DP-QPSK signal recorded
by a coherent digitizer. Accuracies were obtained
of 0.7ps (no noise loading) and 1.0ps (signal
noise-loaded to 10dB Q-factor).

Madison, WI, USA and W. Zhou, University of
Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX, USA
We report a lasing cavity design of transfer
printed Fano resonance photonic crystal
membrane reflector VCSEL on silicon, with III-V
QW active region sandwiched in between two
single-layer Fano resonance Si photonic crystal
nanomembrane reflectors.

Institiute of Optics and Fine Mechanics,
Shanghai, China
The Generation of 8.9fs 0.5mJ carrier-envelope
phase stabilized pulses at 1.8um is reported.
Pulses from an optical parametric amplifier are
injected into a gas filled hollow fiber. Fuse silicon
wedges are used to compensate the dispersion.

Thermoelectrophotonic Light Emitting
Diode Heat Pump, D. G. Deppe, X. Liu,
G. Zhou and Y. Zhang, University of Central
Florida, Orlando, FL, USA

the first monolithic chip integrating a
semiconductor laser with a spontaneous light
emitting diode optical pump that can also serve
as a heat pump.

In-Band Crosstalk Tolerance of Direct
Detection DQPSK Optical Systems,

Telecomunicações, Lisbon, Portugal and
J. J. O. Pires, Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisboa,
Portugal
An analytical formalism for evaluating the impact
of in-band crosstalk in optical DQPSK systems is
developed and its results are confirmed by
simulation. The crosstalk tolerance is reduced by
5dB in comparison to DPSK systems.
