▼ With the exponential data traffic growth associated with unprecedented emerging bandwidth-hungry network applications and services, the fifth generation (5G) of mobile networks is currently being adopted worldwide, which is targeted to provide significant increased signal transmission capacities, massive machine-type communications (MTC), and ultra-reliable low-latency (URLL) real-time services. The 5G network architecture that aims to support these targets adopts the cloud radio access network (C-RAN) where mobile fronthaul connects remote units (RUs) and virtual baseband units (vBBUs), whilst mobile backhaul connects a pool of vBBUs and data centre. To further increase the signal transmission bandwidth of mobile fronthaul/backhaul links in a cost-effective manner, passive optical networks (PONs) are considered as one of the most important candidates. Moreover, intensity-modulation and direct-detection (IMDD) is preferred in these networks to improve its cost-effectiveness and lower the transceiver architecture complexity. From the signal transmission technique point-of-view, the initial stage of 5G should have sufficient transparency to 4G. Since orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is widely used in 4G, thus OFDM is still a promising signal modulation technique for 5G. As such, this dissertation research aims to explore the feasibility of utilising digital signal processing (DSP)-enabled multiple information-carrying dimensions to improve the performance of optical OFDM (OOFDM) IMDD PON systems in terms of signal transmission capacity, system power budget, transceiver design flexibility and system performance adaptability. A subcarrier index-power (SIP) information-bearing dimension is introduced into conventional OOFDM by setting the subcarrier power level at either low or high according to an incoming data sequence in order to convey an extra information bit per subcarrier. As a result, a novel signal transmission technique termed subcarrier index-power modulated optical OFDM (SIPM-OOFDM) is proposed for the first time. Compared with conventional OOFDM adopting similar signal modulation formats, this technique offers an increase of 17% in signal bit rate without compromising the minimum required optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) for achieving a specific bit error rate (BER). Moreover, such improvement does not degrade the performance tolerance to both chromatic dispersion and fiber nonlinearity. As the usage efficiency of high power level subcarriers is not fully maximised in SIPM-OOFDM, a technique termed SIPM-OOFDM with superposition multiplexing (SIPM-OOFDM-SPM) is proposed by applying the superposition multiplexing (SPM) operation for high power subcarriers. SPM passively adds different signal modulation format-encoded complex numbers and assigns the sum to a high power subcarrier. As a direct result, compared to SIPM-OOFDM, SIPM-OOFDM-SPM increases the signal bit rate by 28.6% without increasing the signal modulation formats. To further enhance the power usage efficiency of both high and low…

▼ The recent trend in optical fiber communication is moving toward developing the multi-core fiber (MCF) with each fiber core supporting either a
single mode or multi modes. It will effectively increase the bandwidth of the communications system.
However, for the
single-
mode MCF as we reduce the cladding spacing between each core the coupling among each core increases. This will result in undesirable signal crosstalk coming from adjacent fiber cores. It is interesting to note that present theoretical prediction of the coupling strength of a
single-
mode MCF is a few orders of magnitude larger than experimentally measured values. We can only speculate that the coupling strength is reduced partly due to random fluctuation of relative phases among neighboring cores and partly due to polarization variation among fiber bores.
Since the cross sectional area of a MCF is of several hundred/thousand wavelength square, it is impossible to conduct
mode field analysis of these MCFs using commercial software using traditional
mode-solving techniques such as the finite-element method or beam propagation method. In this paper, considering the small index contrast in the MCF we propose to develop a rigorous scalar coupled-
mode theory (CMT) to analyze
mode fields of a given
single-
mode MCF. The global MCF
mode fields are then represented by some linear combination of linear polarized fiber
mode field attributed to each
single individual fiber core. In the end we have implemented Matlab codes for the MCF under CMT formulation. This program not only computes every eigen-
mode of the global MCF waveguide structure it also allows us to study the
mode field evolution of the
single-
mode MCF. As we initially turn on one of the fiber core we are able to observe that the energy gradually spread across all fiber cores according to the governing equation.
When combined with new broadband MCF optical amplifiers we may see another ten-fold increase in the capacity of the optical fiber communication system with a minimum increase in cost.

▼ This research provides the first known procedure for cleanly and consistently reducing the diameter of
single-crystal sapphire optical fiber (SCSF) below the limits of standard production methods, including the first production of subwavelength-diameter optical fiber (SDF) composed of
single-crystal sapphire. The first known demonstration of an air-clad
single crystal sapphire optical fiber demonstrating
single-
mode behavior is also presented, and the
single-
mode cutoff wavelength and diameter are determined.
Theoretical models describing and predicting the optical behavior of low modal volume sapphire optical fibers are also presented. These models are built upon standard weakly-guiding optical fiber theory, which is found to be accurate once experimentally-determined properties of the SCSF are substituted for theoretical values.
Reduced modal dispersion is also observed in the form of decreased laser pulse broadening in reduced-diameter SCSF. The improvements in spatial resolution for distributed sensing systems such as Raman distributed temperature sensing are also predicted based on the measured decrease in pulse duration.
This research also provides an enhanced understanding of the etching behavior of sulfuric and phosphoric acids on sapphire surfaces, including the first reporting of etching rates and activation energies for a-plane sapphire surfaces. Morphological changes of sulfuric and phosphoric acids at and beyond the temperature ranges used in etching were also tested and discussed in detail, especially regarding their practical impact on observed etching behavior.
The demonstration of LMV
single-crystal sapphire optical fibers enables the adaptation of numerous sensing schemes requiring low modal volume or
single-
mode behavior to be utilized in extreme environments.

(more)
▼ The dependence of thickness and concentration product (TCP) of
single-wall carbon nanotubes saturable absorber (SWCNTs SA) on stabilizing and shortening pulse width in passively
mode-locked erbium-doped fiber ring laser (MLEDFL) was investigated and measured. The TCP represented the amounts of SWCNTs, which the optical beam encountered when passing through the SWCNTs SA. If the TCP was smaller than 8.25 (μm x wt%), the spectral bandwidth was below 2 nm. The pulse shaping was dominated by its own self amplitude modulation (SAM) of SWCNTs SA. With further increasing TCP, the soliton-like ML operation was achieved and the spectral bandwidth was expanded to 6 nm. For soliton-like
mode locking (ML) operation, the area theorem dominated the pulse shaping.
Through area theorem analysis, the estimation of SPM increased as the TCP increased. The adequate enhanced SPM for balancing the slight negative GVD was provided to generate soliton-like ML pulses shorten the pulse width. However, as the TCP increased, the soliton pulse energy decreased. The decreasing soliton pulse energy restricted the further pulse shortening. The results showed that the dependence of the pulse energy and nonlinear self phase modulation (SPM) on TCP enabled to determine the shortest pulse width in MLEDFL based on the area theorem. At optimized TCP of 70.93 (μm x wt%), it was found that the shortest pulse width of 418 fs.
In addition, based on the estimated SPM from area theorem, the nonlinear refractive index n2 was calculated at the level of 0.4 - 1 x 10
-15 m
2/W that was close to the literature values of 10
-15 - 10
-16 m2/W. It provides another way to estimate the nonlinear refractive index except for the Z-scan measurement. We could also estimate the SPM if an active Z-scan measurement was taken to obtain the nonlinear refractive index of the sample. We realized the trend of pulse energy through few samples in MLEDFL, the behavior of pulse width could be theoretically simulated based on area theorem. Hence, with the area theorem analysis, the optimized TCP of SWCNTs SA could be simulated and estimated to generate the shortest pulse width from the trends of pulse energy and estimated SPM. The significant effect of TCP on pulse energy, SPM, pulse width, and spectral bandwidth of MLFLs suggests that the TCP represents the total amount of SWCNTs in SA, which can be used as one of key parameters for characterizing the passive MLFL pulse width. Through the study of the dependence of TCP on ML pulses in MLEDFL, it may provide a guideline to fabricate an effective SWCNTs SA to generate the shortest pulse width of the MLEDFL.

▼ In the literatures of investigating the coupling mechanism between laser diodes and fibers, Gaussian beam profile was used to describe the propagation of laser beams. But the real laser diode beams exist astigmatism. In order to understand the distributions of real laser diode beams, we used
single-
mode fiber interferometer to measure the near-field intensity and phase distributions of laser diodes. The nanometer aperture of taper fiber was used to scan through the horizontal and vertical directions across the maximal intensity point of the planes which were perpendicular to propagation axis to measure the intensity and phase distributions of laser diodes. In the measurement of phase distributions, these two
single-
mode fibers produced interference fringes through accepting laser beams. When the taper fiber scanned the optical field and the reference fiber kept a fixed distance from a laser diode for a stationary phase, the interference fringes shifted because of the phase difference of laser diodes change. In the measurement, in order to improve the stability of interference fringes and consider the aperture of taper fiber, we altered some experiment frameworks. There were four types of experimental framework.
According to the experiment results of the near-field measurements, the measured beam widths along the horizontal and vertical directions at the laser diode facet were 4.11 μm and 1.57 μm respectively. The measured wavefront radius curvature were 6.59 μm and 2.96 μm in horizontal axis and vertical axis respectively. After Gaussian beam fitting, the beam widths along the horizontal and vertical directions at the laser diode facet were 4.04 μm and 0.83 μm respectively. The difference in beam widths between measured values and Gaussian fitting were 0.07 μm and 0.74 μm. The measured beam widths and the Gaussian beam curve fitting had similar results. We could see that the beam spread tendency in the z-axis for the laser beam which propagated in the z direction. In the phase distribution measurement, the measured wavefront radius curvatures and the theoretically calculated Gaussian beam values had a slight difference. The calculated wavefront radius curvatures at the laser diode facet were 11921.51 μm and 3.48 μm in horizontal axis and vertical axis respectively. They were 1809 times and 1.2 times of the measured values. The aperture of taper fiber was expanded because of the energy of laser beams, which also caused the spatial resolution degeneration. Moreover, the wavefront radius curvature in horizontal direction was biggish so the measurement framework also limited the ability of the phase distribution measurement. The above points were the reasons to cause the error of the phase distribution measurement. Furthermore, the measurement of the laser diode facet is under investigation.

▼ We propose a double-MZI fiber sensor made by offset fusing and overlap fusing. They can be used for environment sensing, including temperature, refractive index, and strain. The fabrication method is very simple, containing only cutting and fusing. By introducing a taper in the middle of a MZI, we can increase the extinction ratio and free spectrum range of the interference spectrum. The largest extinction ratio is 20dB, which can improve the sensitivity of normal fiber MZI sensors.
By changing the parameters of environment, we can observe the variation of the spectrum of a double-MZI fiber sensor. Experiment results show that the sensitivities of temperature, refractive index, and strain of the double-MZI fiber sensor with offset fusing are 75.8pm/°C, -26.4nm/RIU, and 0.002dB/με, respectively. And the sensitivities of temperature, refractive index, and strain of the double-MZI fiber sensor with overlap fusing are 80pm/°C, -110nm/RIU, and -0.09dB/με, respectively. According to the experiment results, we can obtain a better sensing response for the double-MZI fiber sensor with overlap fusing. The proposed double-MZI fiber sensors have higher sensitivities when measuring temperature, refractive index, and strain than a
single-MZI fiber sensor. In addition, the double-MZI fiber sensors can also improve the sensing accuracy and measurement range.

▼ The localization of optical fields is a
powerful method to reduce spectroscopic background signals and
enable studies of
single fluorescent molecules. Zero-
mode
waveguides (ZMWs) strongly confine optical fields to zeptoliter
volumes and are coupled with fluorescence microscopy to study the
dynamics of
single enzyme molecules, due to their excellent optical
confinement, precise positioning, and massive parallelism. The work
presented exploits arrays of Au-based nanopores derivatized with
single copies of the redox enzyme, monomeric sarcosine oxidase
(MSOX). MSOX contains a covalently bound flavin adenine
dinucleotide (FAD) cofactor which is highly fluorescent in the
oxidized state and dark in the reduced state, thus producing a
characteristic on-off fluorescence signal synchronous with
transitions between oxidation states. Although Al is the common
choice for metallic overlayer in ZMW construction, Au is used here
to access its unique surface-binding chemistry. In particular, the
signal-to-noise ratio is improved for Au-based ZMWs by selective Au
passivation. For MSOX reactions involving both the nominal
substrate (sarcosine) and an analogous substrate (proline),
statistical analyses of
single-molecule temporal trajectories
reveal the static heterogeneity of
single enzyme reaction rates. In
addition, the
single molecule data confirm the independence of
reductive and oxidative reactions. These structures open the way
for systematic studies of the effect of molecular crowding on
enzyme dynamics. The features of ZMWs are
extended to
single molecule electrocatalysis. In contrast to its
behavior in flavoenzymes, where the transitions are coupled to
chemical redox events, the research presented here studies
single
FAD molecules that are chemically immobilized to the Au region of a
ZMW array through a pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) linker. In this
structure, the Au functions both to confine the optical field in
the ZMW and as the working electrode in a potentiostatically
controlled 3-elecrode system, thus allowing potential-dependent
blinking to be studied in
single FAD molecules. The subset of ZMW
nanopores housing a
single molecule are identified statistically,
and these are subjected to detailed study. Using equilibrium
potential, Eeq, values determined from macroscopic planar Au
electrodes,
single molecule blinking behavior is characterized at
potentials E < Eeq, E ~ Eeq, and E > Eeq. The
probability of observing a reduced (oxidized) state is observed to
increase (decrease) as the potential is scanned cathodic of Eeq.
This is understood to reflect the potential-dependent probability
of electron transfer for
single FAD molecules. Furthermore, the
observed transition rate reaches a maximum near Eeq and decreases
to either anodic or cathodic values, as expected, since the rate is
dependent on having significant probabilities for both redox
states, a condition that obtains only near
Eeq.

▼ Since their invention in 1979, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have been the focus of many research efforts due to the wide applicability of so many of their features. Those that operate in the
single-
mode regime with sufficiently high power are of particular interest because of the need for an energy-efficient solution to the shrinking bit size in hard disk drives.
This work addresses this problem by a careful study of the state-of-the-art approaches to high-power
single-
mode lasing and by integrating the fundamental operating principles into new, novel approaches. The design rules, optimization parameters, fabrication, and characterization of three different structures are presented with an in-depth analysis of performance and future improvement. The devices presented include the metallic spatial filter, the extended pillar design with experimental verification of optimized higher order
mode loss, and the surface relief design with an experimentally verified model.
The metallic spatial filter is found to show peak output power near 12 mW with a transverse
mode spacing of only a few angstroms. The extended pillar design is presented as an improvement over the metallic spatial filter, along with a systematic approach to suppressing the lasing behavior of higher order modes within the cavity. By removing the high reflectivity around the perimeter of the cavity, over 40 mW of
single-peak power and 3 mW of
single-
mode power are attained. An experimental optimization of the oxidation aperture with regard to the size of the external pillar is also presented. Finally, the surface relief structure is presented with full two-dimensional design simulations.
Single-
mode power near 3 mW with a very low threshold of below 5 mA is shown along with experimental verification of modeling results. In addition, the metallic surface relief design is proposed as a future improvement, along with some preliminary modeling results.

▼ Design principles of impurity-induced disordered (IID) vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are presented, including the influence of IID on electrical, optical, and
mode-control properties. A transfer matrix method (TMM) is developed to account for the diffusion of Group III atoms of the distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR) that comprise the VCSEL. In addition, a simple fiber model is used to design the transverse profile of the IID regions to maximize
single-
mode output power.
IID VCSELs are fabricated with special attention given to the experimental parameters that affect both the lateral zinc diffusion profile and the level of intermixing caused by impurity diffusion. The resulting devices are compared to standard oxide-confined VCSELs and show lower operating voltage due to reduced contact and series resistance, higher operation ranges due to reduced thermal effects, and improved
single-
mode output due to the IID filter.
Additionally, the optimal design for maximum
single-
mode output is experimentally determined by varying the dimensions of the IID aperture for a fixed oxide confinement size. Devices with an IID:Oxide ratio of 1.3:3 perform the best, yielding 1.6 mW of
single-
mode power and maintaining
single-
mode output for most of their operating range. Because of the discrepancy between the simple model’s prediction and the experimental results, a more complex
mode-matching model is developed to capture the physics of the tapered IID aperture. Experimental control of the modeled optimal IID aperture is then investigated by sweeping the stress of the IID mask films.
Finally, a
single-interface
mode-matching model is used to explore the viability of a metallic surface-relief VCSEL. This new
mode-filtering mechanism would allow vertical integrability of multiple filtering mechanisms as well as alleviate current crowding issues often caused by surface etching and cavity damage.

▼ The Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability (RMI) (Commun. Pure Appl. Math 23, 297-319, 1960; Izv. Akad. Nauk. SSSR Maekh. Zhidk. Gaza. 4, 151-157, 1969) occurs due to an impulsive acceleration acting on a perturbed interface between two fluids of different densities. In the experiments presented in this thesis,
single mode 3D RMI experiments are performed. An oscillating speaker generates a
single mode sinusoidal initial perturbation at an interface of two gases, air and SF6. A Mach 1.19 shock wave accelerates the interface and generates the Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability. Both gases are seeded with propylene glycol particles which are illuminated by an Nd: YLF pulsed laser. Three high-speed video cameras record image sequences of the experiment. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is applied to measure the velocity field. Measurements of the amplitude for both spike and bubble are obtained, from which the growth rate is measured. For both spike and bubble experiments, amplitude and growth rate match the linear stability theory at early time, but fall into a non-linear region with amplitude measurements lying between the modified 3D Sadot et al. model (Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 1654-1657, 1998) and the Zhang & Sohn model (Phys. Fluids 9. 1106-1124, 1997; Z. Angew. Math Phys 50. 1-46, 1990) at late time. Amplitude and growth rate curves are found to lie above the modified 3D Sadot et al. model and below Zhang & Sohn model for the spike experiments. Conversely, for the bubble experiments, both amplitude and growth rate curves lie above the Zhang & Sohn model, and below the modified 3D Sadot et al. model. Circulation is also calculated using the vorticity and velocity fields from the PIV measurements. The calculated circulation are approximately equal and found to grow with time, a result that differs from the modified Jacobs and Sheeley's circulation model (Phys. Fluids 8, 405-415, 1996).

▼ High-power,
single-frequency, narrow-linewidth lasers emitting at tailored wavelength are desired for many applications, especially for precision spectroscopy. By way of a free-space resonator, optically pumped semiconductor lasers (OPSLs), a.k.a. vertical external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs), can provide near diffraction-limited, high-quality Gaussian beams and are scalable in output power. Free space resonators also allow the insertion of the birefringent filter and the etalon to enforce
single-frequency operation. In addition, the emission wavelengths of OPSLs are tailorable through bandgap engineering. These advantages above make OPSL a strong candidate of laser sources for spectroscopic applications including atomic spectroscopy as well as optical lattice clocks. In this research, a
single-frequency laser source with high power is demonstrated by applying the injection-locking technique on OPSLs for the first time. The behaviors of the injection-locked OPSL are studied by varying parameters such as output coupling, injection wavelengths and injection power. It was found that the best injection wavelength is by approximately 2 nm shorter than the free-running slave laser at any given pump power. Below the lasing threshold for free-running operation, the laser starts the stimulated emission process as soon as it is pumped, working as a resonant amplifier. With proper parameters, the output power of the injection-locked laser exceeds the output power of its free-running condition. Over 9 W of
single-frequency output power at 1015 nm is achieved. The output beam is near-diffraction-limited with Mₓ² = 1.04 and My² = 1.02. By analyzing the surface photoluminescence (PL) and the output performance of the laser, the saturation intensity of OPSLs is estimated to be 100 kW/cm² when the passive loss of 1.4% is assumed. The injection-locked system adds fairly low phase noise to that of the master laser. By measuring the beat note between the master laser and the injection-locked laser, the RMS values of the phase noise are 0.112 rad and 0.081 rad when using the T = 3% and T = 4% output couplers respectively.

Single longitudinal mode (SLM) lasers are significant for applications in spectroscopy, precision measurements, and high-resolution interferometry. The techniques for achieving SLM in inversion lasers are well-developed, as are also frequency extension by frequency conversion using harmonic crystals and optical parametric oscillators. In contrast, Raman lasers, which are well-known for having advantages for diversifying wavelength range and producing high-quality output beams, are much more immature in terms of SLM operation.
This thesis presents an experimental approach to demonstrate SLM operation in a standing wave crystalline Raman laser. Theoretical concepts are developed to elucidate the gain saturation mechanisms and mode competition in Raman lasers. It is shown that gain saturation is homogeneous for narrow linewidth pumping and that the absence of spatial hole burning in a Raman gain medium leads to the possibility of intrinsically stable SLM operation.This concept is implemented in narrow-line width pumped external cavity Raman lasers in the continuous wave regime. Two Raman crystals –diamond and potassium yttrium tungstate (KYW) are investigated to understand the effects of material properties on longitudinal mode structure.
In the case of KYW, it is seen that the laser output spectrum and efficiency were greatly influenced by a lesser-known low-frequency phonon mode (87 cm–1), which is shown to havehigh gain coefficient higher than the mode currently accepted as the primary mode. Owing to the complexity of the laser output spectrum due to the participation of this low-frequency mode in the Raman frequency conversion process, investigation of the mode spectrum was challenging. However, the low-frequency mode at 87 cm–1 is advantageous for applications requiring multi-wavelength laser sources. As the quantum defect is much lower than for the conventional phonon modes in Raman crystals, it could be used for beam enhancement and/or beam combination.
Diamond is seen as a much better option for investigating SLM as it has a "pure" single phonon mode, in addition to its high Raman gain and superior thermal conductivity. Despite having 35 longitudinal modes in the diamond gain bandwidth (45 GHz), SLM operation is demonstrated at 1240 nm up to 4 W of Stokes output power for the free-running diamond Raman laser. Moreover, this SLM demonstration is significant as the gain medium wa spositioned at the midpoint of the standing-wave cavity, which would normally be unsuited to SLM operation in the case of an inversion laser. The pumping level and output power of this SLM operation are higher than the reported SLM inversion lasers. The coupling between the intracavity Stokes…

▼ The biological membrane is a fundamental cellular structure which forms the natural selective barrier separating cells from their environment. Model membranes have long been employed to study these complicated structures in controlled environments. Within this dissertation we report the use of a defocused
single molecule fluorescence imaging approach for examining the molecular level structure of model membranes which incorporate biological lipid components. Through these
single molecule studies, an optimal
single molecule probe of membrane structure was determined. Using this probe the influence of a minor biological membrane component, ganglioside GM1 (GM1), on membrane structure was examined. In addition to structural studies, we also report the use of model membranes as coatings for whispering gallery
mode (WGM) label-free biosensors. Using Langmuir-Blodgett/Langmuir-Schaffer deposited bilayers we were able to demonstrate the specific detection of cholera toxin with a membrane containing the glycosphingolipid, GM1. Further studies of lipid coated WGM sensor showed polyethylene glycol (PEG) functionalized lipid bilayers are capable of reducing nonspecific adsorption on sensor surfaces while maintaining functional sites for specific analyte detection. Finally, preliminary studies for expanding the
single molecule orientation approach to investigate antibody orientation on sensor surfaces are also reported. Through these studies the utility of both the defocused
single molecule imaging technique and model membranes as a tool for biological and sensor applications is demonstrated.

▼ The development and application of artificial intelligence and augmented reality as well as billions of new devices connected to the network have resulted in unprecedented demands on high computing power and high speed communications. The focus has shifted from Moore’s law on the transistor density of semiconductor chips to post-Moore’s-law on the interconnect density of packages to continue improving the computing power and data rates. As the demand for data rates increases, electronic interconnects are limited to short-distance chip-to-chip communications by signal integrity issues at high frequency, which sheds a light on bringing optical interconnects onto the package for on-package long-distance communications. To address these challenges, this thesis focuses on integrating high-density electronic interconnects and low loss optical interconnects as well as fiber integration on glass interposers for high speed communications.

▼ In this study, we have successfully fabricated the few-
mode and the
single-
mode Cr4+:YAG crystal fibers with high-index cladding. The
single crystal with diameter of 34μm and 25μm grown by laser-heated pedestal growth method (LHPG) are inserted into the capillary of N-SF57 high-index glass with the inner and outer diameters of 40/320 μm and 70/260 μm fabricated by fiber drawing tower. A LHPG method by CO2 laser heating was focused and shone around the capillary in order to heat it up to collapse the tightly-fitted glass capillary. In the far-field pattern measurement, the fibers with the diameter of 34μm (FMCDCCFs) are guided in few-
mode, namely LP01 and LP11, and the fibers with the diameter of 25μm (SMCDCCFs) are guided in
single mode, namely LP01 or HE11
mode in fiber at wavelength of 1.4μm. In the gain measurement, the Yb-doped fiber laser at wavelength of 1064nm was employed as the pump beam and a tunable laser 1400nm was the signal beam. The FMCDCCF exhibited a gross gain of 4.1 dB at the pump power about 400 mW by double pumping. The SMCDCCF exhibited a gross gain of 2.7 dB and the net gain of 0.7 dB at the pump power about 320 mW by
single pumping. Further studies on higher gain, not only to reduce the transmission loss, but also to improve the device efficiency, are essential to develop the broadband fiber amplifiers.

▼ An integrated methodology combining redundant clock
tree synthesis and pulse clocked latches mitigates both single
event upsets (SEU) and single event transients (SET) with reduced
power consumption. This methodology helps to change the hardness of
the design on the fly. This approach, with minimal additional
overhead circuitry, has the ability to work in three different
modes of operation depending on the speed, hardness and power
consumption required by design. This was designed on 90nm
low-standby power (LSP) process and utilized commercial CAD tools
for testing. Spatial separation of critical nodes in the physical
design of this approach mitigates multi-node charge collection
(MNCC) upsets. An advanced encryption system implemented with the
proposed design, compared to a previous design with non-redundant
clock trees and local delay generation. The proposed approach
reduces energy per operation up to 18% over an improved version of
the prior approach, with negligible area impact. It can save up to
2/3rd of the power consumption and reach maximum possible
frequency, when used in non-redundant mode of
operation.

▼ In this thesis, a polymer lamination method is presented that enables efficient light coupling into air-suspended polymer waveguides by grating couplers which can then be exploited for research towards a large range of applications in the field of microfluidics, optics and optofluidics. This approach is especially useful for highly sensitive integrated optofluidic sensors as has been demonstrated in this work. Due to the low refractive index contrast available between various polymer materials, the efficiency of miniaturized polymer photonic and optofluidic devices is often limited. In this work, a new lamination technique is presented that allows the bonding of unstructured and structured layers of SU-8 photoresist down to sub-micron thicknesses onto microchannels fabricated in KMPR photoresist using a flexible PDMS carrier stamp. This approach enables the creation of air-suspended SU-8 structures with the highest possible refractive index contrast. Such layers can be bonded down to a thickness of 0.5 µm which in principal allows guidance of light of infrared wavelengths within the single-mode regime. In order to exploit this approach for highly sensitive optofluidic sensing applications, light needs to be coupled into such layers. In this work light coupling is achieved using air-suspended SU-8 rib waveguides and butt coupling, as well as using air-suspended SU-8 surface grating couplers. Particularly, air-suspended SU-8 grating couplers are very interesting. After numerical simulations, air-suspended SU-8 grating couplers have been fabricated based on the developed lamination method. Transmission measurements have shown that a single grating coupler exhibits approximately 8 dB coupling loss at a centre wavelength of 1557 nm indicating a coupling efficiency of about 16%. In addition, the thermal sensitivity of the air-suspended SU-8 grating couplers has been studied by numerical simulations followed by experimental evaluation. Even though the achieved coupling efficiencies are lower than for SOI couplers, mainly due to current fabrication limits of the master structures, the fabrication method employing widely used polymer materials has the advantage that multiple air-suspended structures can directly be created in only one simple lamination process without the need of additional etching steps. Finally, different optofluidic sensor concepts are proposed based on the demonstrated SU-8 bonding method and the air-suspended SU-8 waveguide grating couplers. Experimental transmission measurements have shown that a first sensor concept exhibits a refractive index sensitivity of approximately 400 nm RIU-1 according to the wavelength shift and 17 dB RIU-1 due to the intensity loss which is similar to the results of the numerical simulations. In comparison to previously shown sensing applications using grating coupler structures, the analytes can directly be probed in-line due to the combination of a microfluidic channel and air-suspended grating couplers making the proposed sensor concept highly applicable…

▼ A novel approach is presented for producing hyperboloid microlens structure directly on an optical
single-
mode fiber for enhancing the coupling efficiency between high-power laser diodes and
single-
mode fiber. The hyperboloid lens structure was directly produced with a flat-end
single-
mode fiber with the core diameter of 6.6 μm. The production has three-step process, including a precision mechanical grinding, a spin-on-glass coating and an electrostatic pulling process. After a
single-
mode fiber was grinded into hyperboloid shape, trace amount of spin-on-glass is attached to the grinded fiber tip and then an electrostatic pulling is used to adjust the radius of curvature of around 4-5 μm for the
single-
mode fiber endface. The hyperboloid microlens structure is manufactured for matching with the rectangular outlet of the semiconductor laser diode. A high average coupling efficiency around 81% is obtained, and highest reaches 86.42% for 20 produced lensed fibers. While using the produced hyperboloid fibers, which is doubled efficiency compared to the flat end fiber. The approach was saving time with a simple way of making a microlens structure, so that we testing the micorlenses stability to confirm the feasibility. The coupling stability in five minutes for 5 individual hyperboloid fibers not more than 0.17%, express the good stability for the produced hyperboloid microlensed fibers. Unlike previous with melting or other processes to forming a microlens structure, this method does not damage the fiber endface and can be re-produced. So that, the developed method provides a solution for producing hyperboloid microlensed fibers for high performance coupling between the
single mode fiber and the semiconductor diode laser.

▼ In the 3GPP-LTE communication standard, it defines many kinds of Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) sizes. So, we design a high performance FFT architecture which makes good use of modular design construction and reconfigurable design to achieve easily connection between every 2 stages. This design can be suitable for any requirement.
In the 4-stage module, it can support 48 modes which perform 2-2187 FFT points. It also supports 32 modes defined in 3GPP-LTE communication standard. Each module contains two parts. (1) Reconfigurable Computing Kernel(RC-CK)ï¼We employ radix-32 and radix-23 bases and suitably utilize the hardware reuse property. Without extra of hardware resource (exï¼multipliers or adders), it can execute six types of different radix of FFT kernel operations. (2) Reconfigurable First-in First-Out(RC-FIFO)ï¼We develop a high efficient design method for supporting many FFT points. The FIFO plan is easily managed and suitably located to maximize the hardware storage usage. In addition, we propose Section-based Twiddle Factor Generator(STFG) to support multi-FFT points. It can reduce the area cost and satisfy any communication systems effectively.
In the chip implementation, the core area is only 0.318 mm2 by using TSMC 40-nm CMOS technology. The maximal operating frequency is 350 MHz and power dissipation in average is 44.2 mW. As compared with other state-of-the-arts, our proposed work has the best performance and support many FFT points. Most important of all, the proposed hardware architecture has the better scalability. In the future, we can support the undefined specifications of the 5th generation wireless system only by increasing/decreasing the module.

▼ Optical Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) fiber sensors have several advantages, such as small size, high sensitivity, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Several kinds of MZI-based fiber sensors formed by the collapse splicing have been proposed in recent year due to their simple fabrication process and strong structures. We can get a
single-MZI-based fiber sensor by collapse splicing a section of HCF between two SMFs. The double-MZI-based fiber sensor we propose is fabricated by collapsed the middle region of the
single-MZI-based fiber sensor by a suitable fusion parameter. Compared to the interference spectrum of
single-MZI-based fiber sensors, double MZI-based fiber sensors have larger FSR and deeper extinction ratio.
The double-MZI-based fiber sensors we proposed have been applied to environment sensing. The experiment results show the sensitivities of refractive index, temperature, strain, and pushing distance of the double-MZI-based fiber sensor are 218.84 nm/RIU, 14.32 pm/â, 5.143Ã10-4 dB/με, and -0.214 dB/mm, respectively. According to the experiment results, the double-MZI-based fiber sensor which fabricated by collapsed the middle region of the
single-MZI-based fiber sensor has higher sensitivity in RI and temperature sensing. Otherwise, the double-MZI-based fiber sensor can also improve the measurement range and accuracy.

▼ Single-molecule studies
with optical techniques have become instrumental in shedding light
upon the heterogeneities in molecular property distributions, which
are averaged out in ensemble measurements. Gaining insights into
the nature and magnitude of such heterogeneities in molecular
systems, particularly when they are
subject to anisotropic
chemical, optical, electrical, or other perturbations, has
important implications in the design of targeted detection schemes.
Strategies that enable detection and manipulation of subpopulations
of molecules have the potential to contribute in transformational
ways to lab-on-a-chip (LOC) analytical systems and point-of-care
(POC) diagnostic devices. The work in this
dissertation aims to provide a novel approach for the
electrochemical manipulation of redox-active fluorophores coupled
with spectroscopic measurements. The design, construction, and
utilization of a fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS)
optical system for the measurement of freely diffusing
single-molecules form the basis for more advanced studies.
Piezoelectric stages for nanometer spatial resolution and advanced
acquisition hardware for sub-nanosecond temporal resolution are
implemented. The fabrication of Au-clad zero-
mode waveguide (ZMW)
arrays by focused ion beam (FIB) milling is described. Simulations
of the decay of the optical field within ZMWs support the basis for
single-molecule
experiments. Spectroelectrochemical measurements
of the redox-active fluorophore, flavin mononucleotide (FMN), were
performed at
single-molecule concentrations in a bulk solution
above an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode and in the approximately
200 zL observation volumes of individual electrochemical ZMWs
(E-ZMWs). Fluorescence analogs of standard electrochemical
experiments were implemented. These are fluorescence emission under
static control and chronofluorometry as analogs to amperometry, and
cyclic potential sweep fluorometry as an analog to cyclic
voltammetry. A long-lived semiquinone state of FMN was stabilized
and observed in a ZMW. The work in this dissertation
represents the first
single-molecule spectroelectrochemistry
investigations in an E-ZMW nanophotonic structure. Means of
improving the performance of the FCS optical system and expanding
its capabilities are explored. Experimental modifications, device
design variations, and other possible redox-active chemical systems
are discussed.

▼ In this thesis, quantum inspired symmetries including Parity-Time (PT) symmetry and Supersymmetry (SUSY) have been studied in the context of non-Hermitian engineered laser systems. This thesis starts with a short review of semiconductor lasers theory in second chapter, followed by an introduction to quantum inspired symmetries: PT symmetry and SUSY in optics and photonics in chapter three.
In chapter four, we have studied the robustness and
mode selectivity in PT symmetric lasers. We investigate two important aspects of PT symmetric photonic molecule lasers, namely the robustness of their
single longitudinal
mode operation against instabilities triggered by spectral hole burning effects, and the possibility of more versatile
mode selectivity. Our results, supported by numerically integrating the nonlinear rate equations and performing linear stability analysis, reveals the following: (1) In principle a second threshold exists after which
single mode operation becomes unstable, signaling multimode oscillatory dynamics, (2) For a wide range of design parameters,
single mode operation of PT lasers having relatively large free spectral range (FSR) can be robust even at higher gain values, (3) PT symmetric photonic molecule lasers are more robust than their counterpart structures made of
single microresonators; and (4) Extending the concept of
single longitudinal
mode operation based on PT symmetry in millimeter long edge emitting lasers having smaller FSR can be challenging due to instabilities induced by nonlinear modal interactions. Finally, we also present a possible strategy based on loss engineering to achieve more control over the
mode selectivity by suppressing the
mode that has the highest gain (i.e. lies under the peak of the gain spectrum curve) and switch the lasing action to another
mode.
In chapter five a new scheme for building two dimensional laser arrays that operate in the
single supermode regime is proposed. This is done by introducing an optical coupling between the laser array and a lossy pseudo-isospectral chain of photonic resonators. The spectrum of this discrete reservoir is tailored to suppress all the supermodes of the main array except the fundamental one. This spectral engineering is facilitated by employing the Householder transformation in conjunction with discrete supersymmetry. The proposed scheme is general and can in principle be used in different platforms such as VCSEL arrays and photonic crystal laser arrays.
Finally, in chapter six we have investigated the laser self-termination (LST) in trimer photonic molecules. It is shown that under the appropriate conditions, LST can exist in complex discrete structures made of three-cavity photonic molecule lasers. We have shown that the phenomenon of LST is a purely linear effect associated with avoided level crossings. Furthermore, our simulations show that the predicted behavior is persistent when gain saturation nonlinearity is taken into account.
Conclusion remarks and future works are discussed in the last…

▼ In this dissertation, an all-fiber-based
single frequency nanosecond pulsed laser system at ~ 1918.4 nm in master-oscillator-power-amplifier (MOPA) configuration is present. The nanosecond pulse seed is achieved by directly modulating a continuous wave (CW)
single frequency fiber laser using a fast electro-optical modulator (EOM) driven by an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). One piece of
single mode, large core, polarization-maintaining (PM) highly thulium-doped (Tm-doped) germanate glass fiber (LC-TGF) is used to boost the pulse power and pulse energy of these modulated pulses in the final power amplifier. This laser system can work in both high power and high energy regime: in high power regime, to the best of our knowledge, the highest average power 16 W and peak power 78.1 kW are achieved for
single frequency transform-limited ~2.0 ns pulses at 500 kHz and 100 kHz repetition rate, respectively: In high energy regime, nearly 1 mJ and half mJ pulse energy is obtained for ~15 ns pulses at 1 kHz repetition rate and 5 kHz repetition rate, respectively. Theoretical modeling of the large-core highly Tm-doped germanate glass double-cladding fiber amplifier (LC-TG-DC-FA) is also present for 2&mum nanosecond pulse amplification. A good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results is achieved. The model can simulate the evolution of pump power, signal energy, pulse shape and the amplified stimulated emission (ASE) in the amplifier. It can also be utilized to investigate the dependence of the stored energy in the LC-TGF on the pump power, seed energy and repetition rate, which can be used to design and optimize the LC-TG-DC-FA to achieve higher pulse energy and average power. Two channel of high energy nanosecond pulses (at 1918.4 nm and 1938 nm) are utilized to generate THz wave in a quasi-phase-matched (QPM) gallium arsenide (GaAs) based on difference frequency generation. THz wave with ~ 5.4μW average power and ~18 mW peak power has been achieved. Besides, one model is built to simulate a singly resonated THz parametric oscillator. The threshold, the dependence of output THz energy on pump energy has been investigated through this model. One pump enhanced THz parametric oscillator has been proposed. The enhancement factor of the nanosecond pulses in a bow-tie ring cavity has been calculated for different pulse duration, cavity length and the transmission of the coupler. And the laser resonances in the ring cavity have been observed by using a piezo to periodically adjust the cavity length. We also build an all-fiber thulium-doped wavelength tunable
mode-locked laser operating near 2&mum. Reliable self-starting
mode locking over a large tuning range (>50 nm) using fiber taper based carbon nanotube (FTCNT) saturable absorber (SA) is observed. Spectral tuning is achieved by stretching another fiber taper. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of an all-fiber wavelength tunable
mode-locked laser near 2&mum.

▼ The aim of this dissertation is to conduct performance
analysis for the modeling and control practices of photovoltaic
(PV) systems. Different modeling techniques of PV systems are
considered. The current existing modeling techniques are examined
with further study, and the desired operating characteristics are
achieved through the proposal of a simplified and accurate modeling
process that estimates the PV model parameters for a PV module.
This is done by taking a new approach that replaces the typical
modeling practice in the literature. The main objective of this new
approach is to avoid the need for complex calculation and tedious
combination of equations to extract the PV system model parameters.
The PV system behavior is studied under different environmental
conditions. In addition, most PV system models in the literature
have internal parameters that are not provided by the
manufacturers. These parameters are not given in the PV module data
sheet and require numerical methods for their determination due to
the nonlinear nature of the PV system’s output characteristics.
This research presents an improved and comprehensive PV system
characterization method that relies only on the values provided by
the manufacturer. New improvements and modifications to some of the
existing PV models are also presented. A control design strategy
for control of the power generated by PV systems is suggested to
provide effective energy extraction. The controller design ensures
tracking of the maximum power point (MPP) for the PV system using a
sliding
mode control method of self-optimization. It offers fast
and accurate convergence to the MPP in steady state and during
varying weather conditions. Published research results and
discussion are provided. The simulation in this research proposal
is carried out using a Matlab/Simulink environment. Experimental
verification of the simulated results are included to demonstrate
the validity of the proposed controller design.

▼ This study is a collective case study grounded in the literature regarding leadership styles and leadership theories. It includes among others, an analysis of data from interviews of college Principals and middle Managers to identify the leadership styles at the three colleges of education. The purpose of the study was to analyse the leadership styles of college Principals and middle Managers operating in dual-
mode environments. The colleges that were being studied are the Copperbelt College of Education; Mufulira College of Education and Malcom Moffat College of Education. There were sixteen (16) participants in this study drawn from three colleges.
The researcher collected data using semi-structured individual and focused group interviews. In addition, policy documents such as ‗Open and Distance Learning Policy (draft) and National Policy on Education were analysed. The researcher employed qualitative methods in the collection and analysis of data. Triangulation was used in order to verify the information given during this study. The evidence from the literature review indicates that there is no
single leadership style that may provide answers to all situations in institutions of higher education; rather, a blend of the leadership styles would be beneficial to college Principals. The research further revealed that, managing dual-
mode colleges of education entails that Principals require tailor-made programmes in management and leadership of dual-
mode institutions for them to improve quality of their products and enhance tenets of transparency, democracy and good governance in colleges of education in Zambia. They also must be excellent communicators and ensure understanding by students, employees, peers, and the many stakeholders involved in dual-
mode colleges of education.
The study was important as it hoped to shed some light on how to improve quality of leadership in dual-
mode colleges of education in Zambia.
The study will contribute scientific knowledge to all categories of Higher Education (HE) institutions especially colleges of education, be they face-to-face or distance
mode, that are contemplating a move into dual-
mode delivery.
Finally, Information garnered from this study is expected to allow Principals and other middle Managers and administrators to evaluate their leadership styles in comparison to the effective styles revealed by this study.

▼ Recent crystallographic engineering has uncovered enhanced piezoelectric properties that are resident in “relaxor” ferroelectric crystals. With the proper crystallographic cut, the ternary relaxor
single crystal, Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3, or PIN-PMN-PT, exhibits piezoelectric strain and compliance coefficients that are approximately four times greater than conventional piezoelectric ceramics. The longitudinal and shear piezoelectric properties and responses in these crystals are then modified through a process called coordinate rotation. Coordinate rotation takes advantage of domain orientations that form within the material during crystal growth. A PIN-PMN-PT crystal with a zxt±45̊ cut takes advantage of this process and produces a d36 shear
mode of operation. This cut produces a d36 piezoelectric strain coefficient of –236.8 x 10-11 m/V, which outperforms conventional piezoelectric ceramics that routinely exhibit piezoelectric strain coefficients near 59.3 x 10-11 m/V. Additionally, the PIN-PMN-PT zxt±45̊ crystal cut results in a SE66 compliance coefficient of 17.970 x 10-11 m2/N as compared to the conventional piezoelectric ceramic PZT-5 with a SE66 compliance coefficient of 4.256 x 10-11 m2/N. The increased compliance coefficient leads to a softer material with a higher coupling factor. The higher coefficients and coupling factors allow for a more efficient transfer of energy between the electrical and mechanical domains.
Eight PIN-PMN-PT
single crystals (four with a zxt+45̊ crystal cut and four with a zxt-45̊ crystal cut) were recently integrated into a SONAR transducer design that combines low frequency operation with small packaging and high acoustic output. Contrary to more common shear coefficients, the d36
mode of vibration operates with working electrodes that are the same as the poling electrodes. The major advantage of using the PIN-PMN-PT
single crystals in the d36 shear
mode of operation is that the applied electric field is in the poling direction, which allows for a much higher AC drive field and results in a significantly higher mechanical quality factor. These parameters lend themselves well to compact, low frequency, high power devices and are not available in conventional piezoelectric ceramics.
This study explores this new
mode of operation using a tonpilz transducer design and focuses on the ability to design multiple resonances into the structure to tailor the performance of the device. The separation in frequency between multiple resonances can be increased or decreased to tailor the transducer for specific functions. The resonances can be modified to lower the frequency of operation or improve the acoustic output. When separated, the resonances serve to extend the operating bandwidth of the device.
The primary technical objective is to incorporate
single crystal relaxor-ferroelectrics into a broadband, compact, high power, low frequency transducer. The tonpilz shear
mode transducer using d36 crystals is a projector that meets these qualifications. During…

▼ Fiber-optic Fabry-Pérot interferometers (FPIs) have been widely applied in many fields due to their superior properties such as compact size, high sensitivity, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. In previous research, open-cavity FPIs are usually fabricated by chemical etching or high power laser machining, which potentially has dangers and is expensive. In this thesis we used polished machining to make an open-cavity FPI. The double-polished
single-
mode fiber (SMF) is spliced with a hollow-core fiber (HCF) to form an open-cavity FPI sensor. The sensing material can be easily placed into the cavity to realize the refractive index (RI) sensing.
We used the fabricated FPI for RI, gas pressure, and temperature sensing. In the RI range of 1.333 to 1.3403, the RI sensitivity of our FPI is 1189.80nm/RIU. The sensing response time is 80 ms, and the RI sensing deviation is only RIU. As we control the gas pressure between 0psi to 80psi, the gas sensitivity is 28pm/psi. Compared with other all-fiber gas pressure sensor, our fabricated open-cavity FPI has a larger sensitivity. In addition, after the anneal process to release the residual stress in the FPI, the temperature sensitivity is 3.4pm/â as the temperature is between 30â to 70â, which illustrates the FPI can be used without temperature disturbance. As a result, our open cavity FPI sensor has high potential for RI and gas pressure sensing.
