EOA PSC Seminar Held in Stanford on Analog Photonic Circuit
------ On Saturday of Feb 14, in Stanford University CIS conference room, Professor Aijun Wen from Xidian University in China, presented a seminar on "Microwave signal generation and transmission over analog photonic link (APL) and its optimization". His group modulated a microwave signal onto an optical carrier by using a MZM modulator, and transmitted the signal over a long distance through optical fiber with little attenuation or distortion, and then restored the original microwave signal using a photo diode. They could optimize the linearity of the APL by setting the MZM to work at a special bias point. Also, they could generate microwave oscillating signals with different multiplication factor by setting the MZM to work at different bias points. The phase noise of the restored microwave oscillating signal was found affected by the RIN other than the line width of the Laser source.

JDSU will soon become a glory history? For those who surfed on the technology boom near the end of last millennium would agree to this statement. Many would feel disappointed when see the event happen, because they had spent extremely active days and nights and made the JDSU name shine. It was the number one brand in the fiber optics industry in that era. As reported by Tiernan Ray on Reb 26, JDSU is breaking into two publicly traded companies this year. The company's test and measurement business, which contains products for enabling security, as well, and which has been referred to until now as "NewCo," will be christened Viavi Solutions. That unit is to be run by JDS CEO Tom Waechter. The other unit, containing the traditional fiber optics component business, which has been called "SpinCo." up until now, becomes Lumentum. It is being run by JDS's current head of optical parts, Alan Lowe. detail
