Study of Optical Carrier and Subcarrier Noise Properties forFiber-Optic Links - (Research Equipment Grant)

加州大学圣地亚哥分校电气与计算机工程系将从惠普公司购买一台光谱分析仪和一台射频相位噪声测试仪。它将致力于支持电气和通信系统工程的研究。该设备将用于加州大学圣地亚哥分校涉及光子元件和系统研究的许多跨学科研究项目，特别是(a)高速，大带宽，大动态范围波导器件，(b)平面，高性能光子器件的单片和阵列集成，(c)宽带行波波导光电探测器，(d)高中心频率的混合光发射机，(e)多量子阱的介电特性。这些项目基于光电材料、器件和系统之间的协同作用，将导致更高性能的光纤通信系统。所要求的设备将由美国国家科学基金会和加州大学圣地亚哥分校共同资助，并由国防部和工业界赞助的研究项目提供额外的维护资金。

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California, San Diego, will purchase an optical spectrum analyzer, together with an RF phase noise test-set from Hewlett Packard, which will be dedicated to support research in Electrical and Communications Systems Engineering. The equipment will be used for many interdisciplinary research projects at UCSD involving photonics components and system research, including in particular (a) high speed, large bandwidth, large dynamic range waveguide devices, (b) planar, monolithic and array integration of high performance photonic devices, (c) a wideband traveling-wave waveguide photodetector, (d) hybrid optical transmitter at high center frequency, (e) dielectric properties of multiple quantum wells. These projects, based on a synergy between optoelectric material, devices, and system, will lead to higher performance fiber optic communication systems. The equipment requested will be jointly funded by NSF and UCSD with additional maintenance funds from research programs sponsored by the Defense Department and industry.
