Synchronization and Communication in Nonlinear Optical Systems

这是与格鲁吉亚理工学院的Raj Roy和康奈尔大学的Steven Strogatz通过分包合同共同努力的结果 研究人员将研究混沌激光器的同步，目的是将混沌用作新通信模式的载体，包括使用混沌载波的多路复用信息承载信号和私人通信，以及使用光纤非线性特性的光信道均衡方法。该计划将包括对Nd：YAG和掺铒激光器的实验，同步方法和创新通信技术的分析，以及几个混沌振荡器的同步和应用于光通信的组件的数学分析。 每半年举行一次“小组会议”研讨会，每年我们将邀请光学、光学工程和光通信方面的专家提供额外的研究专业知识，以拓宽参与本项目的学生、博士后研究员和教师的视野

The is a joint effort through subcontracts, with Raj Roy, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Steven Strogatz, Cornell University The researchers will investigate synchronization of chaotic lasers for purposes of using chaos as a carrier for new modes of communication including multiplexing information bearing signals and private communications using chaotic carriers as well as methods for optical channel equalization using nonlinear properties of the fiber. The program will include experiments on Nd:YAG and Erbium Doped lasers, analysis of synchronization methods and innovative communications techniques, and mathematical analysis of synchronization of a few and assemblies of chaotic oscillators with application to optical communications. A "group meeting" workshop will be held semi-annually and each year we will invite experts in optics, optical engineering, and optical communications to provide additional research expertise to broaden the horizons of the students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty involved in this project
