  • Adaptive thresholding scheme in photonic Analog-To-Digital Conversion.
    Optics letters, 2009
    Co-Authors: Yue Peng, Hongming Zhang, Minyu Yao
    Abstract:

    An adaptive thresholding scheme in photonic Analog-To-Digital Conversion is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Instead of a single-ended electronic comparator, differential detection technology is used to reduce the quantization noise induced by thresholding error. The main advantages of this scheme are the elimination of the dynamic setting of thresholding level and better tolerance to common-mode noise.

  • 40GS/s Optical Analog-To-Digital Conversion system and its improvement.
    Optics express, 2009
    Co-Authors: Hongming Zhang, Yue Peng, Minyu Yao
    Abstract:

    An optical Analog-To-Digital Conversion system is proposed and demonstrated. Using time- and wavelength- interleaved optical sampling pulse train; sampling rate of 40GS/s is realized. 2.5GHz sinusoidal electrical analog signal is sampled and quantized using this system, achieving an effective number of bits of 3.45 bits. A novel technology that can dramatically improve the bandwidth of this system will also be presented in this paper, which manifests that our system can realized high bandwidth of more than 50GHz using commercially available LiNbO3 phase modulator.

  • Phase-shifted photonic Analog-To-Digital Conversion system with 40GS/s sampling rate
    2009 IEEE LEOS Annual Meeting Conference Proceedings, 2009
    Co-Authors: Yue Peng, Hongming Zhang, Minyu Yao
    Abstract:

    A phase-shifted photonic Analog-To-Digital Conversion system is experimentally demonstrated with 40GS/S sampling rate. A 2.5GHz sinusoid signal is quantized and the effective number of bits of 3.41 is obtained.

  • A new proposal of photonic Analog-To-Digital Conversion based on polarization modulator and polarizer
    2009 15th Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications, 2009
    Co-Authors: Hongming Zhang, Minyu Yao
    Abstract:

    In this paper, a novel photonic Analog-To-Digital Conversion method is proposed, theoretically analyzed and numerically simulated. This method features simple configuration, because only one polarization modulator, several polarization controllers and several polarizers are required. Furthermore, this method mitigated the problem of bias-drift, which is common in some previous intensity modulating schemes.

  • Photonic Analog-To-Digital Conversion using LiNbO3 Asymmetric Mach-Zehnder Interferometer
    Optical Transmission Switching and Subsystems VI, 2008
    Co-Authors: Hongming Zhang, Minyu Yao
    Abstract:

    Asymmetric lithium niobate Mach-Zehnder interferometer and its applications in photonic Analog-To-Digital Conversion will be discussed. Two schemes based on the asymmetric interferometer will be proposed and analyzed. The first scheme is the phase shift photonic Analog-To-Digital Conversion using asymmetric interferometer and synchronized multiwavelength optical sampling pulses. Because of the dispersion effect of the lithium niobate crystal, when multiwavelength optical pulses enter into the interferometer, at the output port, different wavelengths will have different phase differences between two arms. As a result, after interference, the transmission characteristics of different wavelengths will have a phase shift between each other, and this is just the key issue of phase shift photonic Analog-To-Digital Conversion. The other scheme we will propose in this paper is a spectral encoded photonic Analog-To-Digital Conversion. The spectral transmission characteristic of the asymmetric interferometer will shift with the voltage change of the analog signal, and this shift has an ideal linear relation with the analog voltage change. The peak wavelength of the transmission spectrum can be detected to realize quantization of the applied analog signal. Using both schemes presented in this paper, high sampling rate and high resolution optical Analog-To-Digital Conversion can be realized.
