- The coating of thin films is applied in numerous fields and many methods are employed for the deposition of these films. Some coating techniques may deposit films at high speed; for example, ordinary printing paper is coated with micrometre-thick layers of clay at a speed of tens of meters per second. However, to coat nanometre thin films at high speed, vacuum techniques are typically required, which increases the complexity of the process. Here, we report a simple wet chemical method for the high-speed coating of films with thicknesses at the nanometre level. This soap-film coating technique is based on forcing a substrate through a soap film that contains nanomaterials. Molecules and nanomaterials can be deposited at a thickness ranging from less than a monolayer to several layers at speeds up to meters per second. We believe that the soap-film coating method is potentially important for industrial-scale nanotechnology.

- The channel capacity of a nonlinear, dispersive fiber-optic link is revisited. To this end, the popular Gaussian noise (GN) model is extended with a parameter to account for the finite memory of realistic fiber channels. This finite-memory model is harder to analyze mathematically but, in contrast to previous models, it is valid also for nonstationary or heavy-tailed input signals. For uncoded transmission and standard modulation formats, the new model gives the same results as the regular GN model when the memory of the channel is about ten symbols or more. These results confirm previous results that the GN model is accurate for uncoded transmission. However, when coding is considered, the results obtained using the finite-memory model are very different from those obtained by previous models, even when the channel memory is large. In particular, the peaky behavior of the channel capacity, which has been reported for numerous nonlinear channel models, appears to be an artifact of applying models derived for independent input in a coded (i.e., dependent) scenario. © 1983-2012 IEEE.

- An exact expression is derived for the symbol error probability when the vertices of the four-dimensional 24-cell are used for digital transmission in Gaussian noise. Corresponding expressions for other regular convex polytopes are summarized. Numerically stable versions of these error probabilities are also obtained. © 2011 IEEE.

- In this paper, signal statistics and their utilization for detection in narrowly filtered equalized high-speed fiber-optic communications are investigated experimentally. Tradeoffs between log-likelihood metric applications and oversampling are covered in detail. It is, for the first time, demonstrated that performance loss in bandwidth-limited systems can be nearly fully recovered (to within 0.5 dB) by taking advantage of band-width-limitation-induced noise correlations and oversampling.

A Discrete-Time Model for Uncompensated Single-Channel Fiber-Optical Links
- 2012

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An analytical discrete-time model is introduced for single-wavelength polarization multiplexed nonlinear fiber-optical channels based on the symmetrized split-step Fourier method (SSFM). According to this model, for high enough symbol rates, a fiber-optic link can be described as a linear dispersive channel with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and a complex scaling. The variance of this AWGN noise and the attenuation are computed analytically as a function of input power and channel parameters. The results illustrate a cubic growth of the noise variance with input power. Moreover, the cross effect between the two polarizations and the interaction of amplifier noise and the transmitted signal due to the nonlinear Kerr effect are described. In particular, it is found that the channel noise variance in one polarization is affected twice as much by the transmitted power in that polarization than by the transmitted power in the orthogonal polarization.The effect of pulse shaping is also investigated through numerical simulations. Finally, it is shown that the analytical performance results based on the new model are in close agreement with numerical results obtained using the SSFM for a symbol rate of 28 Gbaud and above.

A novel multilevel coded modulation scheme for fiber optical channel with nonlinear phase noise

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A multilevel coded modulation (MLCM) system in the presence of nonlinear phase noise for fiber optical communication is introduced. The proposed scheme exploits a 16-point ring constellation with nonlinear post compensation of the self phase modulation produced via the Kerr effect. A new set partitioning based on the Ungerboeck approach is introduced to maintain unequal error protection in amplitude and phase direction. The rate allocation for the MLCM component codes for different fiber lengths and transmit powers are done numerically. Simulation results show that the proposed MLCM system provides up to 2 dB gain over a forward error correcting scheme for a block error rates around 10-9, with the same overhead (7%) and complexity. ©2010 IEEE.

- We present a new rate allocation scheme for multilevelcoded modulation based on the minimization of the totalblock error rate (BLER). The proposed method uses affine codecomponents and hard decision multistage decoding. Exhaustivesearch for the rate allocation which minimizes the total BLERjustifies the near-optimum performance of the introduced methodin moderate to high SNRs. Compared to previous approaches thisnew rate allocation scheme can improve the performance of thesystem by 1 dB at BLER = 10−6 for 16-QAM with Ungerboeck setpartitioning. Interestingly, our results indicate that the optimumrate allocation is a function of the SNR. Finally, the performanceof some specific codes are evaluated by simulation and unionbounds to verify the theoretical results.
