Engineering Research Equipment: Test and Measurement/ Optical and Electronic Components

斯坦福大学电气工程系将购买光学和电子测试和测量设备，这些设备将专门用于支持工程学研究。该设备将用于几个研究项目，尤其包括相干波分复用(WDM)网络，光互连和局域网。建设四端波分复用网，每站采用3 Gb/S相移键控，总吞吐量为12 Gb/S。该系统将用于研究对WDM互连和局域发展至关重要的关键技术的优势和局限性网络。将从三个方面进行研究：(1)相移键控调制的优点和局限性；(2)各种调制和编码技术对光纤非线性引起的性能退化的影响；(3)保偏光纤在WDM互连中的优势和局限性；以及(4)用于高速互连的网络级协议。

The Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University will purchase optical and electronic test and measurement equipment which will be dedicated to support research in engineering. This equipment will be used for several research projects, including, in particular, coherent wavelength- division multiplexed (WDM) networks, optical interconnects, and local- area networks. A four terminal WDM network utilizing 3Gb/s per station phase-shift-keying for a total throughput of 12 Gb/s will be contracted. The system will be used to investigate the advantages and limitations of key technologies important to the development of WDM interconnects and local area networks. Three areas will be investigated: (1) the advantages and limitations of the phase-shift-keyed modulation; (2) the impact of various modulation and coding techniques of performance degradations due to fiber nonlinearities; (3) the advantages and limitations of polarization maintaining fiber in WDM interconnects; and (4) network level protocols for high speed interconnects.
