Fully Distributed Fiber-Optic Sensing Enabled by Kalman Filtering
Juan M. Marin, Roman Ermakov, Florian Azendorf +4
Signal fading creates points along the fiber where phase cannot be extracted, so they are conventionally discarded. Instead, we propose a Kalman-based solution for ϕ-OTDR full-fibe…
Beyond white- and black-box modeling tools in optical communications and optical computing: physics-informed data-driven modeling
Isidora Teofilovic, Sergio Hernandez Fernandez, Metodi P. Yankov +3
Efficient optimization and control of photonic computing and communication systems increasingly rely on accurate surrogate models/digital twins. While data-driven models may achiev…
Fundamentals of Optical Fiber Sensing Schemes Based on Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometry: Signal Under Dynamic Temperature Conditions
Roman Ermakov, Huwei Wang, Florian Azendorf +4
We present a theoretical, algorithmic, and experimental study of temperature sensing using -OTDR with coherent detection. A physics-based model is developed to relate the measu…
Experimental Analysis of a Self-Coherent M-QAM Receiver by Means of Recurrent Optical Spectrum Slicing and Direct Detection
Kostas Sozos, Francesco Da Ros, Senior Member Optica +6
High order modulation formats constitute the most prominent way for increasing spectral efficiency in transmission systems. Coherent transceivers that support such higher order for…
Experimental End-to-End Optimization of Directly Modulated Laser-based IM/DD Transmission
Sergio Hernandez, Christophe Peucheret, Francesco Da Ros +1
Directly modulated lasers (DMLs) are an attractive technology for short-reach intensity modulation and direct detection communication systems. However, their complex nonlinear dyna…
Subspace tracking: a novel measurement method to test the standard phase noise model of optical frequency combs
Darko Zibar, Holger Heebøll, Jasper Riebesehl +3
The introduction of digital signal processing (DSP) assisted coherent detection has been a cornerstone of modern fiber-optic communication systems. The ability to digitally, i.e. a…
