SEMINAR TODAY: FREE PIZZA / CREOL 102 / 12:00-1:00 / “Coherent Detection of Polarization Multiplexed Amplitude and Phase Modulated Optical Signals”

“Coherent Detection of Polarization Multiplexed Amplitude and Phase Modulated Optical Signals”

LOCATION: UCF CREOL Building Room 102

DATE: April 7, 2010

TIME: 12:00 PM to 1:00pm

FREE PIZZA & SODA!

Why this presentation is important:

This presentation will explore topics of polarization multiplexing.

Polarization multiplexing allows you to increase the spectral efficiency by a factor of two with minimal effort on the transmitter side. It is widely discussed especially for the realization of 100G transmission links. Coherent detection opens a path to demultiplex the signals on the receiver side just using digital signal processing.

In this presentation we will discuss:

Complex Modulation

Polarization Division Multiplexing

Signal Propagation & Jones Calculus

Coherent vs Direct Detection

Instrument Components

Channel Matrix Estimation

Measurement Examples

Presented by:

Mark Brayer

Senior System Engineer for

Photonics, HS Digital and Wireless Applications

Who should view this presentation:

R&D engineers and researchers and studentswho are new to polarization multiplexing of advanced optical modulation.
