Patent number: 11652556Abstract: A method for all-optical reduction of inter-channel crosstalk for spectrally overlapped optical signals for maximizing utilization of an available spectrum includes receiving a plurality of spectrally overlapped optical signals modulated with data. The method further includes generating conjugate copies of each of the plurality of optical signals using non-linear optics. The method further includes selecting the conjugate copies and adjusting an amplitude, a phase, and a delay of the conjugate copies. The method further includes performing inter-channel interference (ICI) compensation on the spectrally overlapped optical signals in an optical domain by adding the adjusted conjugate copies to the spectrally overlapped optical signals.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2019Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAInventors: Fatemeh Alishahi, Yinwen Cao, Ahmad Fallahpour, Amirhossein Mohajerin-Ariaei, Alan E.

Patent number: 10411811Abstract: A system includes a transmitter with multiple transmit devices each having an OAM multiplexer that converts multiple input signals into an OAM beam. Each transmit device outputs a coaxial group of orthogonal OAM beams. The system also includes a receiver that has multiple receive devices each having an OAM demultiplexer that receives the group of OAM beams from a corresponding transmit device. The OAM demultiplexer also converts the coaxial group of mutually orthogonal OAM beams into a plurality of received signals corresponding to input signals represented by the OAM beams. The receiver also includes a MIMO processor that has an equalizer that determines a transfer function corresponding to crosstalk of each of the plurality of received signals. The MIMO processor also reduces the crosstalk of each of the plurality of received signals based on the transfer function and updates the transfer function.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2016Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAInventors: Alan E.

Patent number: 10277326Abstract: A method for transmitting an optical signal through a first channel and a second channel includes coupling the optical signal with a first pair of comb lines separated by a spacing frequency to create an optical signal copy that is spaced from the optical signal by the spacing frequency. The method also includes filtering a first slice of the optical signal and a second slice of the optical signal copy. The method also includes transmitting the first slice of the optical signal and the second slice of the optical signal through the first channel and the second channel, respectively. The method also includes stitching the first slice of the optical signal with the second slice of the optical signal copy to generate a stitched version of the original optical signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAInventors: Yinwen Cao, Alan Willner

Patent number: 10270536Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for phase-sensitive regeneration of a signal without a phase-locked loop and using Brillouin amplification. The system for phase-sensitive regeneration includes a data channel, one or more pumps and a mixing stage. The one or more pumps are coupled with the data channel. The mixing stage is coupled with the data channel and is for processing a data signal that is combined with an output of the one or more pumps and idler or higher harmonic. The mixing stage is configured to amplify the idler or higher harmonic using Brillouin amplification in a Brillouin gain medium to keep the one or more pumps and the data channel phase-locked.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAInventors: Ahmed Almaiman, Alan E.
