The authors describe a new deterministic algorithm for endless reset-free polarization control (PC) based on sequences of tunable phase shifters and directional couplers, which can be implemented in a variety of discrete (e.g., rotating waveplates) and integrated optic material platforms. They provide a novel quantitative formulation of what endless reset-free PC operation means and prove in a rig...Show More
An endless, reset-free polarization controller implemented with planar lightwave circuits using phase shifters for tuning is proposed and demonstrated. By avoiding the need for tunable polarization mode converters, simple fabrication processes and a large range of material systems can be used, since neither the electrooptic effect nor a rotatable birefringence axis are necessary for device operati...Show More
We investigate the potential of optical n-stage FIR filter architectures for PMD compensation (PMDC) based on frequency-dependent optical power monitoring. The measurement information is used to partially estimate the channel's Jones matrix U(/spl omega/), and the filter parameters are adjusted based on solving a nonlinear least-squares problem which mimics the approximate inversion of U(/spl omeg...Show More
Tunable dispersion compensators for 10 and 40 Gb/s signals using planar waveguide ring-resonator allpass filters are reviewed. Recent work using tunable ring-resonators as building blocks for PMD emulation, compensation and monitoring are also discussed.Show More
This paper starts a systematic study of capacity-achieving (c.a.) sequences of low-density parity-check codes for the erasure channel. We introduce a class A of analytic functions and develop a procedure to obtain degree distributions for the codes. We show various properties of this class which help us to construct new distributions from old ones. We then study certain types of capacity-achieving...Show More
This paper starts a systematic study of capacity-achieving sequences of low-density parity-check codes for the erasure channel. We introduce a class A of analytic functions, show various useful properties of it, and develop a procedure to obtain degree distributions for the codes. We then study certain types of capacity-achieving sequences and introduce new measures for their optimality. For insta...Show More
