Two-photon absorption and color centers: Effects on all-optical switching.DeLong, Kenneth Wayne. January 1990 (has links)
This dissertation explores the effects of two-photon absorption and color center induced absorption on all-optical switching devices. The amount of allowable two-photon absorption was quantified by the parameter T = 2βλ/n₂, where λ is the operating wavelength, β is the two-photon absorption coefficient, and n₂ is the nonlinear refractive index coefficient, the latter two being measured at λ. If the value of T exceeds unity, the operation of all-optical switching devices is in general degraded beyond usable regimes. This result was demonstrated by numerical experiments on systems of equations modelling a nonlinear directional coupler, a prototypical all-optical switching device. The value of T was measured in two fibers, one made of lead silicate glass, and one made of TiO₂-doped silica. We find the value of T to be greater than unity at a wavelength of 1.06 μm in both fibers. Significant color center formation was seen in the lead glass fiber. These color centers were created through two-photon absorption and destroyed through one-photon absorption. Color center induced absorption was seen to mimic two-photon absorption in certain regimes. The nonlinear optical response of semiconductor-doped glasses, an example of a one-photon resonant nonlinearity, was studied. A relaxation time which is dependent on the carrier density was found to be important when modelling the response of these glasses.

Optical switch architectures based on conjugate networks. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collectionJanuary 2007 (has links)
Firstly, for a optical switch that suffers from the intrinsic crosstalk problem when two optical signals cross at the same switch element, active connections must be node-disjoint in the switching network to avoid crosstalk. Applying a sequence of decomposition and merge operations, called crosstalk-free conjugate transformation, on each switch element to tackle this problem, the network resulting from this transformation is called crosstalk-free conjugate network. By using the numbering schemes of networks, we prove that if the route assignments in the original network are link-disjoint, their corresponding ones in the conjugate network would be node-disjoint. Thus, traditional nonblocking switching networks can be transformed into crosstalk-free optical switches in a routine manner. / Furthermore, we show that crosstalk-free or wavelength interleaving multicast switches can also be obtained from existing nonblocking multicast switches via the same crosstalk-free or wavelength-interleaving conjugate transformation in a straightforward manner, respectively. / On the other hand, high speed and easy integrated arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) and tunable wavelength converters (TWCs) are promising optical devices to construct wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical switches. In order to practically realize a WDM switch, the core research issue is how to provide wavelength-interleaving connections throughout the entire switch network of these optical devices. In this way, the topological transformation consisting of decomposition and merge operations can convert nonblocking space-division networks into wavelength-interleaving conjugate networks. The principle of this transformation relies on the parallel characters of internal contentions of space switches and wavelength interferences of WDM switches. We show that any nonblocking route assignments in the original space-division network can be mapped into the conjugate network and become wavelength interleaving under this topological transformation. / The emerging all optical network (AON) calls for the realization of high speed (user data rates from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps), high capacity (∼NTbps) transparent optical network. One of the major obstacles of AON is the deployment of high-speed optical switching systems that can switch optical signals at the rate of several terabits per second. In all optical switches constructed by different optical devices, the crosstalk or wavelength interference may happen when any two optical signals cross at a single optical device or when two signals carried by the same wavelength in a single link, respectively. In the past serval decades, the nonblocking electronic switching networks have been widely studied and a mature theory has been erected. In this thesis, we propose an easy-to-implement conjugate transformation applied to the traditional nonblocking switching networks in two opposite manners to tackle these two problems, respectively. / Deng Yun. / "January 2007." / Adviser: Tony Tong Lee. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 68-09, Section: B, page: 6176. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2007. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 101-108). / Electronic reproduction.

Multiple ARX Model Based Identification for Switching/Nonlinear Systems with EM AlgorithmJin, Xing 06 1900 (has links)
Two different types of switching mechanism are considered in this thesis; one is featured with abrupt/sudden switching while the other one shows gradual changing behavior in its dynamics. It is shown that, through the comparison of the identification results from the proposed method and a benchmark method, the proposed robust identification method can achieve better performance when dealing with the data set mixed with outliers.
To model the switched systems exhibiting gradual or smooth transition among different local models, in addition to estimating the local sub-systems parameters, a smooth validity (an exponential function) function is introduced to combine all the local models so that throughout the working range of the gradual switched system, the dynamics of the nonlinear process can be appropriately approximated. Verification results on a simulated numerical example and CSTR process confirm the effectiveness of the proposed Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) identification algorithm. / Process Control
