Effect of gain compression on the FM nonlinear distortion in semiconductor lasers

Authors
Salgado, HM; Castro, JCS; O'Reilly, JJ;

Publication
IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics

Abstract
The FM intermodulation characteristics of directly modulated semiconductor lasers of relevance to the design of subcarrier multiplexed applications are investigated. "Adiabatic" chirp which has previously not been considered is shown to have a large impact on the reduction of the distortion levels at frequencies below half the resonance frequency of the laser. Results are presented showing that, in contrast to previous suggestions, FM modulation may be advantageous, imposing less requirements on laser linearity than IM modulation.

Accurate performance modeling of subcarrier multiplexed fiber/radio systems: Implications of laser nonlinear distortion and wide dynamic range

Authors
Salgado, HM; OReilly, JJ;

Publication
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS

Abstract
In this paper, we present an analytical approach to accurately assessing the performance of subcarrier multiplexed optical systems for the delivery of future mobile radio broadband services, The existence of a wide dynamic range of power levels in the return link, together with laser nonlinear distortion, represents a major problem and makes performance evaluation difficult. By modeling laser nonlinear distortion using Volterra series analysis, we show that the performance assessment of these systems becomes not only tractable, but also that they can be can be optimized based on the worst case condition, This analysis is performed here for the case of continuous phase frequency shift keying (CPFSK) modulation, for which we calculate the power spectral density (PSD) of the intermodulation products, The overall system performance is then investigated, and its dependence on laser bias and RIN is examined, As an illustrative example we consider a specific 50 channel CPFSK system occupying the bandwidth of 2 to 2.1 GHz.

Experimental validation of Volterra series nonlinear modelling for microwave subcarrier optical systems

Authors
Salgado, HM; O'Reilly, JJ;

Publication
IEE Proceedings: Optoelectronics

Abstract
A detailed comparative experimental and theoretical study of nonlinear distortion in laser diodes is undertaken to provide practical proving of the effectiveness and utility of the Volterra series method. The observed harmonic and intermodulation distortion levels are compared with the results given by the Volterra series nonlinear laser model using intrinsic parameters extracted from reflection and small-signal frequency response measurements. Second-harmonic, two-tone and three-tone intermodulation distortion data are all found to be in good agreement with the theoretical results, providing endorsement of the Volterra series approach for the study of distortion in microwave subcarrier optical systems. © IEE, 1996.

Dynamic bandwidth allocation for an MPEG-2 multiencoder video system

Authors
Teixeira Luis, M; Andrade Maria, T;

Publication
Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering

Abstract
An efficient algorithm for dynamically multiplexing MPEG2 encoded video sources is presented. Sources are grouped into classes regarding different combined levels of spatial detail and amount of movement. Simulations were performed using different associations of sources belonging to distinct classes, different bit rates and GOP structures. The implications associated to a real implementation are analyzed and a modular architecture is proposed. Simulation results are presented and discussed, showing that sequences with higher spatial detail and motion are those which exhibit the higher quality improvements. These results are almost not affected by the non alignment, at GOP level, between video sequences.

Convolutional effects in transform coding with TDAC: An optimal window

Authors
Ferreira, AJS;

Publication
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SPEECH AND AUDIO PROCESSING

Abstract
Perceptual coders have proven to be highly efficient in the context of audio or video applications involving bit rate reduction. However, this efficiency is strongly limited in very low bit rate coding conditions. This paper studies the multiplicative effects of quantization in the frequency domain, when an overlapped filter bank (TDAC) is used to shape the quantization noise in a perceptually optimal way. The associated circular convolution operation generates aliased components in the time domain that are examined and subjected to minimization. A closed form expression is suggested to approximate an optimal transform window offering a desired tradeoff between the reduction of the time artifacts produced by a coarse quantization and the reduction of the stop-band leakage, relative to other transform windows commonly used.
