This thesis investigates terrestrial atmospheric FSO communication systems operating under the influence of turbulence-induced scintillation, beam spreading, optical interchannel crosstalk, amplified spontaneous emission noise and pointing errors. On-off keying-non–return-to-zero (OOK-NRZ) and digital pulse position (DPPM) are the modulation schemes used for the calculations. The possibility of using sophisticated performance evaluation techniques such as moment generating function (MGF)-based Chernoff bound (CB), modified Chernoff bound (MCB) and saddlepoint approximation (SPA) for terrestrial DPPM and OOK-NRZ–based FSO communication systems employing optical amplification are investigated and compared with the conventional Gaussian approximation (GA) method. Relative to the other techniques, the MCB can be considered a safe estimation method for practical systems since it provides an upper bound upon the BER. The turbulent optically preamplified DPPM FSO receiver employing integration over a time slot and comparing the results to choose the largest slot, is seen to give better advantage (about 7 - 9 dB) compared to an equivalent employing OOK-NRZ signalling. The atmospheric turbulence-induced spreading of the beam, ASE noise, and pointing error are seen to combine in a problematic way resulting in high BERs, depending on the size of the receiver and the beam’s jitter standard deviation. Using FSO communication for the distribution links of a passive optical network-like wavelength division multiplexing access network is investigated in the presence of atmospheric turbulence, ASE noise and interchannel crosstalk. The results show that, for clear atmosphere, FSO distribution link length up to 2000 m can be reliably used (depending on turbulence strength) to achieve human eye safety and high capacity access networks. Also, error floors occur due to turbulence accentuated crosstalk effect for the cases of (i) signal turbulent, but crosstalk not and (ii) crosstalk turbulent, but signal not.

The ever-increasing demand for broadband services by end-user devices utilising 3G/4G/LTE and the projected 5G in the last mile will require sustaining broadband supply from fibre-linked terminals. The eventual outcome of the high demand for broadband is strained optical and electronic devices. The backbone optical fibre transport systems and techniques such as dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), higher modulation formats, coherent detection and signal amplification have increased both fibre capacity and spectrum efficiency. A major challenge to fibre capacity and spectrum efficiency is fibre-faults and optical impairments, network management, routing and wavelength assignment (RWA). In this study, DWDM and flexible spectrum techniques such as wavelength assignment and adjustment, wavelength conversion and switching, optical add and drop multiplexing (OADM) and bitrate variable transmission have been experimentally optimized in a laboratory testbed for short- and long-haul optical fibre networks. This work starts by experimentally optimising different transmitters, fibre-types and receivers suitable for implementing cost effective and energy efficient flexible spectrum networks. Vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and distributed feedback (DFB) lasers have been studied to provide up to 10 Gb/s per channel in 1310 nm and 1550 nm transmission windows. VCSELs provide wavelength assignment and adjustment. This work utilises the non-return-to-zero (NRZ) on-off keying (OOK) modulation technique and direct detection due to their cost and simplicity. By using positive intrinsic negative (PIN) photo-receivers with error-free BER sensitivity of -18±1 dBm at the acceptable 10-9-bit error rate (BER) threshold level, unamplified transmission distances between 6 km and 76 km have been demonstrated using G.652 and G.655 single mode fibres (SMFs). For the first time, an all optical VCSEL to VCSEL wavelength conversion, switching, transmission at the 1550 nm window and BER evaluation of a NRZ data signal is experimentally demonstrated. With VCSEL wavelength conversion and switching, wavelength adjustments to a spectrum width of 4.8 nm (600 GHz) can be achieved to provide alternative routes to signals when fibre-cuts and wavelength collision occurs therefore enhancing signal continuity. This work also demonstrates a technique of removing and adding a wavelength in a bundle of DWDM and flexible channels using an OADM. This has been implemented using a VCSEL and a fibre Bragg grating (FBG) providing a wavelength isolation ratio of 31.4 dB and ~0.3 𝑑𝐵 add/drop penalty of 8.5 Gb/s signal. As a result, an OADM improves spectrum efficiency by offering wavelength re-use. Optical impairments such as crosstalk, chromatic dispersion (CD) and effects of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) have been experimentally investigated and mitigated. This work showed that crosstalk penalty increased with fibre-length, bitrate, interfering signal power and reduced channel spacing and as a result, a crosstalk-penalty trade-off is required. Effects of CD on a transmitted 10 Gb/s signal were also investigated and its mitigation techniques used to increase the fibre-reach. This work uses the negative dispersion fibres to mitigate the accumulated dispersion over the distance of transmission. A 5 dB sensitivity improvement is reported for an unamplified 76 km using DFB transmitters and combination of NZDSF true-wave reduced slope (TW-RS) and submarine reduced slope (TW-SRS) with + and – dispersion coefficients respectively. We have also demonstrated up to 52 km 10 Gb/s per channel VCSEL-based transmission and reduced net dispersion. Experimental demonstration of forward Raman amplification has achieved a 4.7 dB on-off gain distributed over a 4.8 nm spectral width and a 1.7 dB improvement of receiver sensitivity in Raman-aided 10 Gb/s per wavelength VCSEL transmission. Finally, 4.25-10 Gb/s PON-based point to point (P2P) and point to multipoint (P2MP) broadcast transmission have been experimentally demonstrated. A 10 Gb/s with a 1:8 passive splitter incurred a 3.7 dB penalty for a 24.7 km fibre-link. In summary, this work has demonstrated cost effective and energy efficient potential flexible spectrum techniques for high speed signal transmission. With the optimized network parameters, flexible spectrum is therefore relevant in short-reach, metro-access and long-haul applications for national broadband networks and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) fibre-based signal and data transmission.

In recent years, Optical Wireless (OW) communication techniques have attracted substantial attention as a benefit of their abundant spectral resources in the optical domain, which is a potential solution for satisfying the ever-increasing demand for increased wireless capacity in the conventional Radio Frequency (RF) band. Motivated by the emerging techniques and applications of OW communication, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) had released the IEEE standard 802.15.7 for short-range optical wireless communications, which categorised the Physical layer (PHY) of the OW communication into three candidate-solutions according to their advantages in different applications and environments: 1) Physical-layer I (PHY I): Free Space Optical (FSO)communication employs high-intensity Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or Laser Diodes (LDs) as its transmitter. 2) Physical-layer II (PHY II) uses cost-effective, low-power directional white LEDs for the dual function of illumination and communication. 3) Physical III (PHY-III) relies on the so-called Colour-Shift Keying (CSK) modulation scheme for supporting high-rate communication. Our investigations can be classified into three major categories, namely Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques for FSO communications in the context of PHY I, video streaming in PHY-II and the analysis and design of CSK for PHY-III. To be more explicit, in Chapter 2 we first construct a novel ACO-OFDM based MIMO system and investigate its performance under various FSO turbulence channel conditions. However, MIMO systems require multiple optical chains, hence their power consumption and hardware costs become substantial. Hence, we introduced the concept of Aperture Selection (ApS) to mitigate these problems with the aid of a simple yet efficient ApS algorithm for assisting our ACO-OFDM based MIMO system. Since the channel conditions of indoor Visible Light Communication (VLC) environments are more benign than the FSO-channels of Chapter 2, directional white LEDs are used to create an “attocell” in Chapter 3. More specifically, we investigate video streaming in a multi-Mobile Terminals (MTs) indoor VLC system relying on Unity Frequency Reuse (UFR) as well as on Higher Frequency Reuse Factor based Transmission (HFRFT) and on Vectored Transmission (VT) schemes. We minimise the distortion of video streaming, while satisfying the rate constraints as well as optical constraints of all the MTs. In Chapter 4 we analyse the performance of CSK relying both on joint Maximum Likelihood (ML) Hard-Detection (HD), as well as on the the Maximum A posteriori (MAP) criterion-based Soft-Detection (SD) of CSK. Finally, we conceive both two- stage and three-stage concatenated iterative receivers capable of achieving a substantial iteration gain, leading to a vanishingly low BER.

This thesis provides an in-depth investigation and evaluation of infrared optical wireless MIMO communication systems to be applied in both indoor and outdoor environment. The principle objective of the research is to demonstrate both the advantages and disadvantages of the optical wireless MIMO systems using different modulation types. The first part provided analyses of important OW configurations using APD receivers using WMC model and SISO, MISO, SIMO and MIMO configuration. Thus, an analytical expression for 2-1 MISO, 1-2 SIMO and MIMO was successfully developed. This part also illustrates the coding gains possible using diversity schemes for APD OW systems. In the presence of strong fading, the SISO approach is rendered virtually useless, whereas diversity offers acceptable BER values. The results underpin the approach of this thesis, where indoor PIN diode based experimental measurements confirm the gains offered by diversity. In the second part of the work, several optical wireless MIMO systems applicable for the indoor environment are developed for three different modulation types, OOK modulation, PPM modulation and SIR-RZI modulation. These modulations are used in optical MIMO systems are studied for which, mathematical models that evaluate the BER performance of the MIMO system for different axis displacement and for different distances between transmitters and receivers. Based on the results, the PPM system has been shown to present the best BER performance, including high interference-resistance capability. A group of new mathematical models have been evaluated, which demonstrates a high level of correlation with the results derived from empirical models at 93%. Thus, the mathematical models developed and used for the specified evaluation appear to correspond reasonably well, and can be applied in future research on these aspects.

Doutoramento em Engenharia FísicaO processamento ótico de sinal é uma alternativa possível para melhorar o desempenho e eficiência de sistemas de comunicações óticas, mas o seu estágio atual de desenvolvimento é ainda insuficiente para aplicações em sistemas reais. De forma a inverter esta situação, novas estratégias e pos-sibilidades para processamento ótico de sinal são aqui investigadas, com ênfase em conversão de comprimento de onda, regeneração de fase e amplificação sensível à fase em dispositivos de niobato de lítio com inversão periódica dos domínios ferroelétricos e fibras fortemente não-lineares. Um novo método para o desenho do perfil de inversão dos domínios fer¬roelétricos nos dispositivos de niobato de lítio de acordo com um espetro de conversão alvo é investigado nesta tese. O método proposto é validado numericamente e através da produção de um dispositivo real com largura de banda de conversão de 400 GHz. O dispositivo produzido é utilizado para conversão de onda multicanal de oito sinais modulados em fase, com a possibilidade adicional de sintonizar o comprimento de onda dos sinais con¬vertidos. Observa-se a existência de um compromisso entre elevada largura de banda de conversão e eficiência do dispositivo. São também investigadas nesta tese conversão e permuta de comprimento de onda tolerantes ao ruído de fase adicionado por fontes de bombeamento. Demonstra-se neste trabalho que a utilização de fontes de bombeamento coerentes permite evitar a adição de ruído de fase aos sinais convertidos. Nesta tese é também analisada analítica e numericamente amplificação sensível a fase baseada em dispositivos de niobato de lítio com inversão periódica dos domínios ferroelétricos para configurações de amplificadores de um, dois ou quatro modos. É ainda avaliada a possibilidade de ge¬rar ondas correlacionadas e de realizar amplificação sensível a fase num único dispositivo com propagação bidirecional. Com base neste esquema, demonstra-se regeneração de fase de sinais modulados em fase, porém com ganho limitado devido à baixa eficiência de conversão dos dispositivos e com desempenho afetado por instabilidades térmicas e foto refrativas. Mo¬tivado por estas limitações, demonstra-se amplificação de elevado ganho num amplificador sensível à fase de quatro modos, construído com uma fibra fortemente não-linear em vez de um dispositivo de niobato de lítio. Por fim, é efetuada uma análise numérica do impacto de utilizar amplifica¬dores sensíveis à fase em vez de amplificadores de fibra dopada com érbio no alcance em transmissão ponto a ponto de sinais e na amplificação e regeneração em redes óticas. Demonstra-se que amplificadores sensíveis à fase são mais vantajosos para formatos de modulação avançados e siste¬mas compostos por ligações óticas longas. As simulações assumem mode¬los simplificados para o ganho e ruído dos amplificadores, bem como uma versão modificada do modelo de ruído Gaussiano para estimar a potência das distorções não-lineares em sistemas com compensação total da dispersão cromática no final de cada segmento de fibra entre amplificadores.
All-optical signal processing techniques are a possible way to improve the performance and efficiency of optical communication systems, but the cur¬rent stage of development of such techniques is still unsatisfactory for real- world implementation. In order to invert this situation, new strategies and possibilities for all-optical signal processing are investigated here, with a particular focus on wavelength conversion, phase regeneration and phase- sensitive amplification in periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides and highly nonlinear fibers. A new and flexible method to design the poling pattern of periodically poled lithium niobate devices according to a target conversion spectrum is inves¬tigated in this work. The proposed method is validated through numerical simulations and by producing a real device with broad conversion bandwidth of 400 GHz. The device is then used for multichannel wavelength conversion of eight phase-modulated signals, with the additional possibility to tune the wavelength of the converted signals. A trade-off between high conversion bandwidth and conversion efficiency is observed. Advanced wavelength conversion and wavelength exchange tolerant to the phase noise added by the pump lasers are also investigated. It is shown that the additional phase noise transferred to the converted signals is eliminated by using coherent pumps, generated from the same light source. Phase-sensitive amplification based on periodically poled lithium niobate devices is also investigated in this thesis by numerically comparing the gain properties for one-, two- and four-mode configurations. The possibility to si¬multaneously generate correlated waves and observe phase-sensitive amplifi¬cation in a single device with bidirectional propagation is also demonstrated. Using such scheme,"black-box" phase regeneration of phase-encoded sig¬nals is experimentally demonstrated, albeit with limited net gain due to the low conversion efficiency of the device, and the limited reliability due to thermal and photorefractive instabilities. Motivated by such limitations, high-gain amplification in a four-mode phase-sensitive amplifier built with a highly nonlinear fiber instead of a periodically poled lithium niobate is demonstrated. Finally, the impact of using phase-sensitive amplifiers instead of common erbium-doped fiber amplifiers on the reach in point-to-point transmission and on the amplification and regeneration requirements in optical transport networks is numerically investigated. The calculations show that phase- sensitive amplifiers are particularly advantageous when considering high- order modulation formats and for transport networks comprised by long links. The numerical simulations are performed using simplified models for the gain and noise properties of the amplifiers, and a modified enhanced Gaussian noise model to estimate the power of the nonlinear distortions in systems with full dispersion compensation at the end of each span of fiber.

A fundamental understanding of the information carrying capacity of optical channels requires the signal and physical channel to be modeled quantum mechanically. This thesis considers the problems of distributing multi-party quantum entanglement to distant users in a quantum communication system and determining the ability of quantum optical channels to reliably transmit information. A recent proposal for a quantum communication architecture that realizes long-distance, high-fidelity qubit teleportation is reviewed. Previous work on this communication architecture is extended in two primary ways. First, models are developed for assessing the effects of amplitude, phase, and frequency errors in the entanglement source of polarization-entangled photons, as well as fiber loss and imperfect polarization restoration, on the throughput and fidelity of the system. Second, an error model is derived for an extension of this communication architecture that allows for the production and storage of three-party entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. A performance analysis of the quantum communication architecture in qubit teleportation and quantum secret sharing communication protocols is presented. Recent work on determining the channel capacity of optical channels is extended in several ways. Classical capacity is derived for a class of Gaussian Bosonic channels representing the quantum version of classical colored Gaussian-noise channels. The proof is strongly motivated by the standard technique of whitening Gaussian noise used in classical information theory. Minimum output entropy problems related to these channel capacity derivations are also studied.
(cont.) These single-user Bosonic capacity results are extended to a multi-user scenario by deriving capacity regions for single-mode and wideband coherent-state multiple access channels. An even larger capacity region is obtained when the transmitters use non- classical Gaussian states, and an outer bound on the ultimate capacity region is presented as well.

The telecom industry is today categorized by being able to wirelessly transmit large amounts of data between systems in a short time. A precondition for this is that the PCBs (printed circuit board) being developed and manufactured can handle and distribute large amounts of data internally. Often presented as multiple high-speed links up to 10-28 Gbit/s. The PCBs of today contains electric conductors, which all lead from one point to another, with no possibility of branching or flexibility without being rebuilt. A significant problem with all these electric conductors in the PCBs and all the PCBs close contact with each other is the interference building up between them. EMI is a general explanation for this, Electro Magnetic Interference. To avoid this problem and instead meet the constraints of EMC, Electro Magnetic Compatibility, these electric conductors can be replaced with optical conductors. This new concept with optical conductors is not initially going to replace all electric conductors but replace most of the existing high speed links and the traditional point to point communication with optical high speed multidrop. Not just fulfilling the need of EMC, these conductors are also able send one single signal to several different receivers. The optical conduction is happening inside a plate of PC-plastic, allowing the signal to travel throughout the whole PCB if needed. While this is happening, all receivers in need of data can pick up the sent-out signal.Telekombranschen karaktäriseras av att stora mängder data för över trådlöst mellan system på kort tid. En förutsättning för detta är också att de kretskort som utvecklas och tillverkas måste kunna hantera och distribuera stora mängder data internt på kortet. Detta sker ofta i multipla höghastighetslänkar på upp till 10–28 Gbit/s. Dagens kretskort bygger på elektriska ledare, som har en början och ett slut. Det vill säga ingen möjlighet till förgrening eller förändring utan ombyggnad. Ett problem med alla dessa ledare i kretskorten och kretskortens nära kontakt med varandra är att interferens sker mellan dem. EMI är en känd beteckning för detta, Elektromagnetisk interferens. För att undgå detta problem och istället uppfylla EMC, Elektromagnetisk kompatibilitet, kan dessa elektriska ledare ersättas med optiska. Detta nya koncept med optiska ledare ska till en början inte ersätta alla elektriska ledare utan målet är att ersätta merparten av de på korten befintliga höghastighetslänkar och att ersätta de traditionella höghastighetslänkarnas point to point med en optisk multidroplösning. Utöver att dessa ledare uppfyller EMC så bidrar de även till att en signal kan skickas från samma sändare till flera olika mottagare. Då den optiska ledningen sker genom en skiva i PC-plast har signalen inget förbestämt mål, utan alla mottagare i behov kan plocka upp signalen.

All-optical signal processing techniques for phase-shift keyed (PSK) systems were developed theoretically and demonstrated experimentally. Nonlinear optical effects in fibers, in particular four-wave mixing (FWM) that occurs via the ultra-fast Kerr nonlinearity, offer a flexible framework within which numerous signal processing functions can be accomplished. This research has focused on the regenerative capabilities of various FWM configurations in the context of processing PSK signals. Phase-preserving amplitude regeneration, phase regeneration, and phase-regenerative wavelength conversion are analyzed and demonstrated experimentally. The single-pump phase-conjugation process was used to regenerate RZ-DPSK pulse amplitudes with different input noise distributions, and the impact on output phase characteristics was studied. Experiments revealed a limited range over which amplitude noise could effectively be suppressed without introduction of phase noise, particularly for signals with intensity pattern effects. Phase regeneration requires use of phase-sensitive amplification (PSA), which occurs in nonlinear interferometers when the pump and signal frequencies are degenerate (NI-PSA), or in fiber directly through single-stage (degenerate) or cascaded (non-degenerate) FWM processes. A PSA based on a Sagnac interferometer provided the first experimental demonstration of DPSK phase and amplitude regeneration. The phase-regenerative capabilities of the NI-PSA are limited in practice by intrinsic noise conversion (amplitude to phase noise) and to a lesser extent by the requirement to modulate the pump wave to suppress stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). These limitations are relaxed in novel materials with higher SBS thresholds and nonlinearities. Degenerate FWM provides PSA in a traveling-wave configuration that intrinsically suppresses the noise conversion affecting the NI-PSA, while providing stronger phase-matched gain. Experiments confirmed superior phase-regenerative behavior to the NI-PSA with simultaneous reduction of amplitude noise for NRZ-DPSK signals. Phase-regenerative wavelength conversion (PR-WC) provides the regenerative properties of PSA at a new wavelength, and was proposed and demonstrated for the first time in this research. The parallel implementation of two FWM processes, phase-conjugation and frequency conversion, provides two idlers which exhibit interesting and useful regenerative properties. These were investigated theoretically and experimentally. Ideal phase-regenerative behavior is predicted when the contributing FWM processes are equally phase-matched, which can be maintained over any interaction length or wavelength shift provided the pump powers are properly adjusted. Depleted-pump regime PR-WC provides simultaneous phase and amplitude regeneration. Experiments confirmed regenerative behavior for wavelength shifts of the idlers up to 5 nm. Two techniques for phase regeneration of 4-level PSK signals were developed and evaluated. The first is based on parallel operation of PSAs suitable for processing 2-level PSK signals, where phase projection and regeneration are combined to recover the input data. Analysis of this scheme outlined the conditions required for effective phase regeneration and for practical implementation using known PSAs. A novel process based on FWM (parallel phase-conjugation followed by PSA) was developed and analyzed, and demonstrated using numerical simulations. These studies provide a basis for further work in this area.Ph.D.

Eelume AS is a norwegian company that develops autonomous underwater vehicles. Their flagship model is an underwater snake robot that performs inspection, maintenance and repair operations. For the time being, Eelume has been using acoustic communications between their AUV's and the docking station, but it has a big drawback: bandwidth. Eelume is interested in streaming live high-quality video from their AUV's to the docking station, which requires several megabits per second. As underwater radio frequency communications are not possible, wireless optical communications seem to be the best available alternative. The focus of this Thesis is to design an underwater wireless optical communications system that could be implemented on the Eelume AUV, although it is designed as a standalone embedded system that could be integrated into any other platform. Two prototypes were designed and tested through-air: a low-cost system featuring a PIN photodiode that can stream a 1.5 Mbps video signal over 0.5 meters and a high-sensitivity system featuring an avalanche photodiode that can stream a 2.5 Mbps video signal over 10.5 meters. Even if further underwater testing is needed and some inherent limitations in the design like the precise calibration or the ambient light noise effects could be mitigated. The results achieved by this high-sensitivity system demonstrates that a high-bandwidth mid-range underwater wireless optical communication system featuring a blue/green LED array as the light source and an avalanche photodiode as the photodetector is a viable solution for streaming live high-quality video over several meters even in very turbid seawaters.

Presented in this thesis is a study of the Temporal Talbot effect within the context of return-to-zero data communication systems. First, we examine its features and limitations subject to realistic input conditions. We consider three independent impairments in the incident pulse train: excessively broad pulse width, amplitude noise, and timing jitter. In addition to determining and quantifying the effects of all these impairments, we demonstrate a beneficial, mitigating effect of the Talbot self-imaging process on the two last ones. We then demonstrate a novel, tunable pulse repetition multiplier using cascaded fiber Bragg gratings, with an output repetition rate exceeding 100 GHz. We finalize our study on the system level by exploring and characterizing the Talbot effect for all-optical clock recovery. Two distinct implementations are considered, one with fiber Bragg gratings and the second with single-mode fiber. The latter also allows us to perform a proof-of-principle demonstration of simultaneous clock recovery at two wavelengths.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIORA difusão seletiva e os recentes avanços na tecnologia de transmissão óptica, mais especificamente na multiplexação por comprimento de onda (Wavelength Division Multiplexing- WDM), aliados à consolidação do IP como protocolo dominante das redes convergentes, vêm oferecendo novas perspectivas para as futuras gerações de inter-redes. Este trabalho faz uso da evolução dessas tecnologias para propor um conjunto de adaptações à difusão seletiva, em especial ao IP Multicast, denominado MIRROR (Multicast IP para Redes baseadas em Rajadas Ópticas Rotuladas). A proposta MIRROR sugere modificações e adequações para tornar o IP Multicast menos complexo, mais escalável em relação ao número de grupos ativos simultaneamente e mais adequado às redes baseadas em comutação óptica. Basicamente, MIRROR revê a necessidade de todos os roteadores ao longo da árvore de distribuição multiponto manterem informações de estado relacionadas a esta, bem como sugere adequações na forma como os caminhos multiponto são estabelecidos quando se emprega comutação baseada em rótulos na difusão seletiva. Para avaliar a proposta MIRROR, investiu-se em duas frentes distintas, uma baseada na análise comparativa entre a MIRROR e algumas alternativas ao IP Multicast apresentadas na literatura, e outra baseada no desenvolvimento de um protótipo da proposta no simulador NS (Network Simulator), com o intuito de referendar os resultados da análise comparativa. Na análise comparativa, confronta-se parâmetros como: requisitos de informações de estado, custo com informações de controle, custo de encaminhamento dos pacotes e custo da árvore de multiponto. O desenvolvimento do protótipo envolveu a criação de uma nova estrutura de nó e a alteração de módulos já existentes no NS, para tornar possível a simulação de redes comutadas por rajadas ópticas rotuladas no contexto da difusão seletiva.
Multicast communication and recent advances in optical technology, most specifically in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), allied with the consolidation of IP as the dominant protocol of convergent networks, offer new perspectives for the next generation Internet. This thesis utilises these technologies to propose a set of adaptations, called MIRROR, to multicast communication, specifically IP Multicast, in labelled burst-switched optical networks. MIRROR proposes modifications to traditional IP Multicast in order to improve its scalability as a function of the number of simultaneously active groups, as well as making it more appropriate for use in optically switched networks. Basically, MIRROR includes new proposals for handling state information about the multicast distribution tree, as well as for the establishment of label-based multicast paths. In order to evaluate this proposal, two approaches are followed, one based on a comparative analysis between MIRROR and a number of other alternatives to IP Multicast proposed in the literature, and the other based on the implementation of a prototype in the simulation environment provided by NS (Network Simulator). The comparative analysis evaluates such parameters as: state requirement information, control overhead, packet processing efficiency and tree cost. The prototype implementation implements a new node structure and alters existing NS modules (OBS e MPLS), to make possible the simulation of labelled burst-switched optical networks in the multicast context.

La demande toujours croissante pour la capacité du réseau conduit au développement de systèmes de communication optique pour couvrir les normes Terabit Ethernet récemment proposées. Les applications de courte distance nécessitent une solution peu coûteuse et peu complexe avec détection directe. Cependant, le coût de la détection cohérente diminue chaque jour et en fait un bon candidat pour les applications à courte distance futures afin d'accroître l'efficacité spectrale et d'utiliser des formats de modulation avancés. Dans cette thèse, nous étudions des solutions pour les applications court-courrier actuelles et futures. Dans la première partie, nous nous concentrons sur des solutions pour les applications de courte distance. Le premier chapitre est la première démonstration de la transmission multi-tonalité discrète (DMT) à plus de 100 Gb/s en utilisant une photonique au silicium en bande O (SiP). Nous comparons expérimentalement le DMT avec la modulation d'amplitude d'impulsion (PAM) sur la bande O. Notre expérience montre qu'en augmentant la longueur des fibres de plus de 10 km, la PAM surpasse le DMT. Pour la bande C, nous utilisons un multi-ton discret à bande latérale unique (SSB-DMT) pour éviter l'effet d'évanouissement de la puissance induit par la dispersion chromatique. Nous étudions l'effet du bruit de phase, de la dispersion chromatique et de la sensibilité du récepteur pour optimiser le signal du DMT et extraire des équations théoriques pour calculer le taux d'erreur binaire (BER) du SSB-DMT. Ensuite, nous comparons la PAM sur bande O avec le SSB-DMT sur bande C et quantifions l'impact des limitations imposées par le matériel sur les deux formats de modulation. Notre étude fournit un outil analytique pour les applications de courte distance afin de sélectionner le format et le matériel de modulation appropriés en fonction de la portée requise, du débit binaire, etc. Dans la deuxième partie, le ciblage des futurs systèmes de détection cohérents justifié l'utilisation d'un format de modulation complexe avec détection cohérente. Nous utilisons un format de modulation avancé dans lequel nous avons combiné la propagation de transformée de Fourier discrète avec le DMT pour augmenter l'efficacité spectrale. Le format de modulation hybride a un rapport de puissance crête à moyenne inférieur (vis-à-vis du DMT) et une efficacité spectrale plus élevée (vis-à-vis de la QAM _a porteuse unique). Dans la première étape, nous comparons expérimentalement les performances des modulations hybrides, DMT standard et monoporteuse en utilisant un modulateur SiP IQ. Ensuite, nous développons une stratégie de contrôle pour le format de modulation hybride en échangeant la non-linéarité de la fonction de transfert du modulateur et le rapport signal / bruit optique. Le format de modulation hybride est ensuite optimisé pour avoir un débit maximum. En utilisant une simulation de Monte Carlo, nous comparons le format de modulation hybride optimisé avec le DMT standard pour différents débits binaires. Enfin, nous avons une comparaison de complexité entre hybride et DMT pour différentes longueurs de fibre.Ever increasing demand for network capacity is driving the development of optical communication systems to cover recently proposed Terabit Ethernet standards. Short haul applications need low cost and low complexity solutions with direct detection, as the cost of coherent detection comes down, it will become a good candidate for future short-haul applications to increase spectral efficiency and exploit advanced modulation formats. In this thesis, we investigate solutions for both current and future short-haul systems. In the first part, we focus on solutions for short haul applications. The first chapter is the first time demonstration of more than 100 Gb/s discrete multi-tone (DMT) transmission using an O-band silicon photonics (SiP). We experimentally compare DMT with pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) on O-band. Our experiment shows that by increasing fiber length more than 10 km, PAM outperforms DMT. For C-band, we use single sideband discrete multi-tone (SSB-DMT) to avoid chromatic dispersion-induced power fading e_ect. We study the effect of phase noise, chromatic dispersion, and receiver sensitivity to optimize DMT signal and extract theoretical equations to calculate bit error rate (BER) of SSB-DMT. Next, we analytically compare PAM on O-band with SSB-DMT on C-band and quantify the impact of hardware-imposed limitations on both modulation formats. Our study provides an analytical tool for short haul applications to select appropriate modulation format and hardware based on required reach, bit rate, etc. In the second part we examine complex modulation formats that will be enabled in the future by low cost, integrated components for coherent detection.. We use an advanced modulation format in which we combined discrete Fourier transform spread with DMT to increase spectral efficiency. Hybrid modulation format has a lower peak to average power ratio (vis-a-vis DMT) and higher spectral efficiency (vis-a-vis single carrier QAM). In the first step, we experimentally compare the performance of the hybrid, standard DMT, and single carrier modulations using a SiP IQ modulator. Next, we develop a driving strategy for hybrid modulation format by trading off the modulator transfer function non-linearity and optical signal to noise ratio. Then hybrid modulation format is optimized to have maximum throughput. Using Monte Carlo simulation we compare optimized hybrid modulation format with standard DMT for different bit rates. Finally, we have a complexity comparison between hybrid and DMT for different fiber lengths to motivate same investigation for long-haul applications where, we should consider fiber non-linearity, attenuation, a polarization multiplexing.

This thesis presents experimental and theoretical work on the use of dark optical solitons as data carriers in communications systems. The background chapters provide an introduction to nonlinear optics, and to dark solitons, described as intensity dips in a bright background, with an asymmetrical phase profile. The motivation for the work is explained, considering both the superior stability of dark solitons and the need for a soliton solution suitable for the normal, rather than the anomalous (bright soliton) dispersion regime. The first chapters present two generation techniques, producing packets of dark solitons via bright pulse interaction, and generating continuous trains of dark pulses using a fibre laser. The latter were not dark solitons, but were suitable for imposition of the required phase shift by virtue of their extreme stability. The later chapters focus on the propagation and control of dark solitons. Their response to periodic loss and gain is shown to result in the exponential growth of spectral sidebands. This may be suppressed by reducing the periodicity of the loss/gain cycle or using periodic filtering. A general study of the response of dark solitons to spectral filtering is undertaken, showing dramatic differences in the behaviour of black and 99.9% grey solitons. The importance of this result is highlighted by simulations of propagation in noisy systems, where the timing jitter resulting from random noise is actually enhanced by filtering. The results of using sinusoidal phase modulation to control pulse position are presented, showing that the control is at the expense of serious modulation of the bright background. It is concluded that in almost every case, dark and bright solitons have very different properties, and to continue to make comparisons would not be so productive as to develop a deeper understanding of the interactions between the dark soliton and its bright background.

This dissertation studies, analyzes, and experimentally demonstrates the innovative use of interference phenomenon in the field of opto-electronic information processing and optical communications. A number of optical systems using interferometric techniques both in the optical and the electronic domains has been demonstrated in the filed of signal transmission and processing, optical metrology, defense, and physical sensors. Specifically it has been shown that the interference of waves in the form of holography can be exploited to realize a novel optical scanner called Code Multiplexed Optical Scanner (C-MOS). The C-MOS features large aperture, wide scan angles, 3-D beam control, no moving parts, and high beam scanning resolution. A C-MOS based free space optical transceiver for bi-directional communication has also been experimentally demonstrated. For high speed, large bandwidth, and high frequency operation, an optically implemented reconfigurable RF transversal filter design is presented that implements wide range of filtering algorithms. A number of techniques using heterodyne interferometry via acousto-optic device for optical path length measurements have been described. Finally, a whole new class of interferometric sensors for optical metrology and sensing applications is presented. A non-traditional interferometric output signal processing scheme has been developed. Applications include, for example, temperature sensors for harsh environments for a wide temperature range from room temperature to 1000 degree C.Ph.D.

This thesis reports original work on suppression of transient gain excursions in an erbium-doped fibre amplifier (EDFA). The work presented in this thesis is a detailed investigation of four closed-loop systems that control the EDFA gain dynamically. The performance of the four closed-loop systems is evaluated by analytical work, supplemented by computer simulations and insystem measurements performed on a hardware EDFA. In addition, a stability analysis of the four closed-loop systems is presented. In the stability analysis presented in this thesis, nonlinear nature of the four closed-loop systems is taken into consideration. In the stability analysis, in addition to proving that the four closed-loop systems considered are stable, it is proven that for any practical values of the EDFA gain at the initial time of observation, the EDFA gain is restored to the desired value in steady state. These outcomes of the stability analysis are supported by simulation results and experimental results. Errors in system modelling, change in the operating point of the nonlinear closed-loop system, and measurement noise are important aspects of practical implementations of systems that control the EDFA gain dynamically. A detailed analysis of the effects these practical aspects have on the performance of the four closed-loop systems considered is presented. The analysis is validated using computer simulations and experimental measurements. In most of the work reported in the literature on controlling the EDFA gain, controllers that include feedforward and/or feedback components are employed. In the traditional approaches to combining the feedforward and the feedback components, large transient excursions of the EDFA gain can still occur due to errors in the control provided by the feedforward component. In this thesis, a novel approach to combining the feedforward and the feedback components of the controller is presented. Based on the analytical work, the computer simulations and the experimental work presented in this thesis, the novel approach provides a significant reduction in the excursions of the EDFA gain in the transient period.

The global communications network has become a pervasive and critical item of everyday life, spawning and enabling countless worldwide services that went from nonexistent to must-have in less than a decade. Its implementation makes considerable use of optical transmission systems, which are the physical medium of choice for most non-wireless links, being capable of high data rates over long distances. However, the potential of optics is still underexploited, and can help a smarter network meet the simultaneous challenges of ever-higher data rates, network switching, and the "last-mile" access network. Very high data rates were achieved in optical transmissions in the late 1990s especially through wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) over the C and later the L spectral bands. For some time, the way to increase data rates was forecast to be higher symbol rates per wavelength, for which optical-to-electronic (O-E) conversions are a speed bottleneck. This required all-optical functionalities, especially to process optical time-domain multiplexed signals. In that line, I contributed to ultrafast clock recovery using opto-electronic phase-locked loops.
However, the recent comeback of coherent optical communications points to easier ways to increase the data rate by pushing towards higher spectral efficiencies, closer to the optical channel's Shannon capacity in the presence of certain physical impairments. Notably, some of my recent results suggest that polarization-dependent loss can be handled close to the limit thanks to a combination of space-time codes and more conventional error-correcting codes.
Switching is another bottleneck: the Internet's great versatility results in part from its packet-switching paradigm, but current optical networks are essentially circuit-switched using wavelength granularity. Packet-switching functionality is implemented purely in electronics, incurring numerous energy-inefficient O-E conversions and ballooning energy costs.
My work on all-optical functionalities included an all-optical label-processing scheme for switching nodes, though this approach would be subject to scaling problems in practice. More recently, my concern has shifted to hybrid switching nodes using electronic buffers to supplement an optical switching matrix. My current studies show great improvements of their sustainable load compared to all-optical switches at a given packet-loss probability.
Access network is the last stronghold where optical transmissions are not quite dominant yet. The focus there is on cost effectiveness and resource sharing, especially in passive optical networks (PONs). In order to bring WDM to PONs, I contributed to a pulsed continuum optical source that could have provided optical channels to multiple users simultaneously. More recently, I also oversaw work on reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers designed for colorless optical network units.
Finally, the challenge goes on for a better match between network functionalities and the untapped potential of optics. My focus is currently shifting towards cross-layer optical networking, requiring novel network architectures to break free from the electronic-centric layered-network model, and finally meeting the energy consumption problem square-on.

The ever-increasing data traffic demand drives the evolution of telecommunication networks, including the last-mile access networks as well as the long-haul backbone networks. This Ph.D. dissertation focuses on system design and signal processing techniques for next-generation converged optical-wireless access systems and the high-speed long-haul coherent optical communication systems. The convergence of high-speed millimeter-wave wireless communications and high-capacity fiber-optic backhaul networks provides tremendous potential to meet the capacity requirements of future access networks. In this work, a cloud-radio-over-fiber access architecture is proposed. The proposed architecture enables a large-scale small-cell system to be deployed in a cost-effective, power-efficient, and flexible way. Based on the proposed architecture, a multi-service reconfigurable small-cell backhaul network is developed and demonstrated experimentally. Additionally, the combination of high-speed millimeter-wave radio and fiber-optic backhaul is investigated. Several novel methods that enable high-spectral-efficient vector signal transmission in millimeter-wave radio-over-fiber systems are proposed and demonstrated through both theoretical analysis and experimental verification. For long-haul core networks, ultra-high-speed optical communication systems which can support 1Terabit/s per channel transmission will soon be required to meet the increasing capacity demand in the core networks. Grouping a number of tightly spaced optical subcarriers to form a terabit superchannel has been considered as a promising solution to increases channel capacity while minimizing the need for high-level modulation formats and high baud rate. Conventionally, precise spectral control at transmitter side is required to avoid strong inter-channel interference (ICI) at tight channel spacing. In this work, a novel receiver-side approach based on “super receiver” architecture is proposed and demonstrated. By jointly detecting and demodulating multiple channels simultaneously, the penalties associated with the limitations of generating ideal spectra can be mitigated. Several joint DSP algorithms are developed for linear ICI cancellation and joint carrier-phase recovery. Performance analysis under different system configurations is conducted to demonstrate the feasibility and robustness of the proposed joint DSP algorithms, and improved system performance is observed with both experimental and simulation data.

Underwater wireless communication refers to transmitting data in unguided water environment through the use of wireless carriers, i.e., radio-frequency wave, acoustic wave, and optical wave. We focus, in this thesis, on the underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) that employs optical wave as the transmission carriers. In comparison to RF and acoustic counterparts, UWOC has a much higher transmission bandwidth, thus providing much higher data rate. Due to this high-speed transmission advantage, UWOC has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Many potential applications of UWOC systems have been proposed for environmental monitoring, offshore exploration, disaster precaution, and military operations. However, UWOC systems also suffer from severe absorption and scattering introduced by underwater channel. In order to overcome these technical challenges, several new system design approaches, which are different from the conventional terrestrial free-space optical communication, have been explored in recent years. In this thesis, we provide a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art of UWOC research in three aspects: channel characterization, channel modulation and coding techniques, and practical implementations of UWOC. Based on the comprehensive understanding of UWOC, we also investigate the outage performance for vertical buoy-based UWOC with pointing errors. Closed-form outage probability with zero boresight pointing errors and outage probability bounds with nonzero boresight pointing errors have been derived.Applied Science, Faculty of

Optical switches are used for signal switching in optical communication networks. Silicon photonics is a low-cost and mature technology to develop high-performance optical switches. This thesis is a theoretical and experimental study on silicon photonic switches, featuring broadband, low-power, high-speed, and low-crosstalk performance.
Broadband 3-dB couplers are fundamental building blocks for broadband switches based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) structures. A broadband 3-dB coupler, which has a 100 nm operation bandwidth with coupling imbalance being much less than its competitors, i.e., adiabatic couplers and multimode interference couplers, has been theoretically designed and experimentally demonstrated.
Switches using thermo-optic phase tuning typically have high power consumption. In this thesis, two methods to improve the tuning efficiency of thermo-optic phase shifters have been investigated and employed: 1) using thermal isolation structures and 2) using folded waveguides structures. Accordingly, thermo-optic switches with state-of-the-art, ultra-low power consumption of down to 50μW/π have been demonstrated.
MZI switches using carrier injection phase tuning have high-speed performance but with a large switching crosstalk, due to the imbalanced tuning loss in the MZI structure. A novel carrier injection switch based on a balanced nested Mach-Zehnder interferometer (BNMZI) structure has been theoretically proposed. The BNMZI switch has balanced tuning schemes and therefore can be both high-speed and crosstalk-free. Besides, the switch has three switching states: cross, bar, and blocking.
Polarization control is necessary for single-mode switches. A high-performance polarization beamsplitter (PBS), which has a 120 nm operation bandwidth with modal isolations of more than 20 dB, has been designed and demonstrated, and it can be used for polarization control for single-mode switches.
Characterizing fabrication variability and performing yield prediction for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are both challenging for photonics designers. We have developed an accurate and cost-efficient characterization method for fabrication variations, which extracts waveguide dimension variations from the spectral response of a single racetrack resonator. In addition, we have proposed a novel yield prediction method for PICs, which, for the first time in silicon photonics, is able to model the impacts of layout-dependent correlated manufacturing variations and take them into account in circuit simulations.Applied Science, Faculty of

Small satellite technical capabilities continue to grow and launch opportunities are rapidly expanding. Several commercial constellations of small satellites for Earth observation and communications are making their way onto orbit, increasing the need for high bandwidth data downlink. Laser communications (lasercom) has the potential to achieve high data rates with a reduction in power and size compared to radio frequency (RF) communications, while simultaneously avoiding the significant regulatory burden of RF spectrum allocation. Lasercom benefits from high carrier frequencies and narrow beamwidths, but the resulting challenge is to precisely point these beams between transmit and receive terminals. Arcsecond to sub-arcsecond pointing is required from both the space terminal and the ground station. While existing lasercom ground stations have primarily utilized professional telescopes at observatory-class facilities, making optical ground stations more affordable and transportable is a key enabler for expanding lasercom to small satellites and new applications, as well as establishing networks to mitigate the effects of weather. We describe the development of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Portable Telescope for Lasercom (MIT-PorTeL) utilizing an amateur telescope augmented with an externally mounted receiver assembly. The ground station has a 28 cm aperture and utilizes a star tracker for automated calibration. The ground station reduces mass by at least 10x and cost by at least 100 x over existing optical ground stations. We present a ground station architecture that enables deployment in less than one hour and that is capable of tracking satellites in low-Earth orbit. We describe the receiver assembly and fine pointing system that enables arcseconds-level pointing accuracy. Finally, we present results from testing the ground station on the roof of an MIT building tracking a star and tracking the International Space Station.

Though acoustic modems have long been the default wireless communication method for underwater applications due to their long range, the need for high speed communication has prompted the exploration of non-acoustic methods that have previously been overlooked due to their distance limitations. One scenario that drives this need is the monitoring of deep sea oil wells by AUVs that could be stationed at the well and communicate surveillance data wirelessly to a base station. In this thesis, optical communication using LEDs is presented as an improvement over acoustic modems for scenarios where high speed, but only moderate distances, is required and lower power, less complex communication systems are desired. A super bright blue LED based transmitter system and a blue enhanced photodiode based receiver system were developed and tested with the goal of transmitting data at rates of 1 Mbps over distances of at least 10 meters. Test results in a fresh water tow tank showed the successful transmission of large data files over a distance of 13 meters and at transmission rates of at least 3 Mbps. With an improved test environment, even better performance may be possible.

Mestrado em Engenharia Electrónica e TelecomunicaçõesOs sistemas de comunicação por luz visível surgem como uma alternativa aos tradicionais sistemas de comunicação ópticos por raios infravermelhos. Esta alternativa tem por base a rápida evolução dos dispositivos de iluminação de estado sólido. Até há bem pouco tempo, as tradicionais lâmpadas incandescentes ou fluorescentes dominavam a tecnologia de iluminação. Recentemente, os dispositivos de estado sólido, como por exemplo, os LEDs (Light Emiting Diodes) de alta intensidade, tem evidenciado as suas vantagens neste domínio: maior eficiência, durabilidade e preço de fabrico. Adicionalmente estes dispositivos possibilitam outros domínios de aplicação, que não sejam exclusivamente a iluminação. A possibilidade de comutação rápida destes dispositivos torna-os adequados ao emprego em sistemas de comunicação tendo por base a luz visível. No âmbito deste trabalho pretendeu-se desenvolver um sistema de comunicação por luz visível capaz de servir o propósito de validação de conceito. Para tal, consideraram-se duas tarefas distintas: a concepção dos sistemas electrónicos de emissão-recepção de sinais ópticos, e o sistema de processamento de dados. O sistema de processamento de dados foi em particular o que definiu o tema desta dissertação. De forma a tornar o processo de geração e descodificação simples e eficiente, optou-se por recorrer ao protocolo USB. Desta forma tentou-se implementar uma solução que do ponto de vista do utilizador fosse tão simples como a utilização de um qualquer periférico plug-play num PC. Esta dissertação discute a implementação deste sistema de processamento de dados, tendo como recursos disponíveis uma placa de aquisição de dados em formato USB, e acessórios de electrónica digital reconfigurável. ABSTRACT: Visible light communication systems appear as a suitable alternative to the more traditional Infra-Red optical communication systems. This possibility is motivated by the fast evolution of solid-state lighting devices. Traditional incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs have been the unique solutions for the illumination purpose for years. Solid-state lighting devices, as for instance high brightness LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), have become available. These devices present several advantages over the traditional light bulbs: they are more power efficient, they have lower production costs, and increased durability. Additionally, solid-state lighting devices present the useful property of fast switching, which makes them suitable for communication purposes, employing visible light. The main objective of this project was to develop a visible light communication system able to provide a practical demonstration test-bed for this new technology. In order to fulfill this objective, two separate tasks have been foreseen: The optical receiver-transmitter able to cope with the visible light requirements; and the data processing system. This dissertation was focused on the data processing system. USB protocol was chosen in order to simplify the processes of data generation and recovery. This would make the final systems as simple to use as any other USB plug-and-play device. This dissertation discusses the implementation of the data processing system, using one standard USB acquisition board plus digital reconfigurable electronic devices.

The presence of low frequency cutoffs in the forward path of the information signal
leads to inter-symbol interference (ISI) and degradation of the signal to noise ratio
at the sampling instant in digital on-off keying (OOK) systems. The low frequency
cutoffs occur as a result of the presence of power separation filters in a line wire
system and gain instability of APDâ s to D.C. in fiber optic systems. Also, it is easier
to design amplifiers that do not extend to D.C. The ISI which manifests itself in the
form of baseline wander can cause appreciable degradation in the signal to noise
ratio. This thesis investigates two ways of combating the baseline wander problem.
They are quantized feedback and line coding schemes. A detailed performance evaluation
of quantized feedback scheme is performed. An overview of line coding
schemes is given and some specific codes are evaluated in terms of S/N degradation
at the receiver.

Although mathematical cryptography has been widely used, its security has only been proven under certain assumptions such as the computational power of opponents. As an alternative, quantum communication, in particular quantum key distribution (QKD) can get around unproven assumptions and achieve unconditional security. However, the key generation rate of practical QKD systems is limited by device imperfections, excess noise from the quantum channel, limited rate of true random-number generation, quantum entanglement preparation, and/or post-processing efficiency. This dissertation contributes to improving the performance of quantum communication systems. First, it proposes a new continuous-variable QKD (CVQKD) protocol that loosens the efficiency requirement on post-processing, a bottleneck for long-distance CVQKD systems. It also demonstrates an experimental implementation of the proposed protocol. To achieve high rates, the CVQKD experiment uses a continuous-wave local oscillator (CWLO). The excess noise caused by guided acoustic-wave Brillioun scattering (GAWBS) is avoided by a frequency-shift scheme, resulting in a 32 dB noise reduction. The statistical distribution of the GAWBS noise is characterized by quantum tomography. Measurements show Gaussian statistics upto 55 dB of dynamical range, which validates the security calculations in the proposed CVQKD protocol. True random numbers are required in quantum and classical cryptography. A second contribution of this thesis is that it experimentally demonstrates an ultrafast quantum random-number generator (QRNG) based on amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). Random numbers are produced by a multi-mode photon counting measurement on ASE light. The performance of the QRNG is analyzed with quantum information theory and verified with NIST standard random-number test. The QRNG experiment demonstrates a random-number generation rate at 20 Gbits/s. Theoretical studies show fundamental limits for such QRNGs. Quantum entanglement produced in nonlinear optical processes can help to increase quantum communication distance. A third contribution is the research on nonlinear optics of graphene, a novel 2D material with unconventional physical properties. Based on a quantum-dynamical model, optical responses of graphene are derived, showing for the first time a link between the complex linear optical conductivity and the quantum decoherence. Nonlinear optical responses, in particular four-wave mixing, is studied for the first time. The theory predicts saturation effects in graphene and relates the saturation threshold to the ultrafast quantum decoherence and carrier relaxation in graphene. For the experimental part, four-wave mixing in graphene is demonstrated. Twin-photon production in graphene is under investigation.
