OECC 2002 Best Paper Award
Yoshiyasu Ueno and his coworkers (NEC
Laboratories, Tsukuba, Japan) have received the OECC 2002 Best Paper Award in
the ‘Optical Active Devices & Modules’ category of the Opto-Electronics and Communications
Conference (OECC 2002), July 8-12, Yokohama. In the contributed paper, they
have proposed a practical control scheme for the SMZ-type interferometric
optical gate which has been proved to work at over 100 GHz. They have also
shown their first successful results of the control scheme, with 168-Gb/s
pseudorandom all-optical demultiplexing. The authors
have suggested that this scheme would be useful more generally for many other
types of interferometric all-optical gates, for
realizing ultrafast optical signal processings in the near future.
Title:
Control scheme for the optimization of the phase bias in the Symmetric-Mach-Zehnder all-optical switches
