Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Simultaneous Low Noise Radio Frequency Tone and Narrow Linewidth Optical Comb Generation From a Regeneratively Mode-Locked Laser(SPIE - Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2014-10-29) Ozdur, Ibrahim; Ozharar, Sarper; Delfyett, Peter J.A regeneratively mode-locked laser with simultaneous low noise radio frequency (RF) tone and optical comb generation is presented. The laser does not need any external RF signal and emits a pulse train at similar to 10 GHz repetition rate with a 1.5-ps optical pulse width after compression. The generated RF tone has a signal-to-noise ratio of 121 dB/Hz and an RF fluctuation of 10(-9) over 0.1 s. The optical frequency comb spacing is also at similar to 10 GHz and the optical comb tooth has a linewidth of <1 kHz.

The experimental results show that, the phase noise of a 10 GHz RF tone can be filtered by at least 10 dB at 200 kHz offset frequency. A theoretical analysis on the limits of phase noise filtering due to the spontaneous emission and the frequency mismatch between the laser cavity modes and the synthesizer frequency is also included.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1RF Injection Locked 18 GhZ Regeneratively Mode-Locked Semiconductor Laser(Optical Soc Amer, 2018-01-04) Oran, Abdullah; Ozharar, Sarper; Can, Gokhan; Olcer, Ibrahim; Ozdur, IbrahimIn this manuscript, a semiconductor based fiber ring cavity mode-locked laser regeneratively driven at 18 GHz is presented. The optical spectrum of the laser is centered at 1578 nm. The laser is RF injection locked via an external source at 18 GHz. The phase noise of the mode-locked laser is measured and the integrated timing jitter was found to be 10.8 fs (from 100 Hz to 20 MHz) and 13.3 fs (from 100 Hz to Nyquist frequency). The integrated amplitude fluctuation (from 100 Hz to 20 MHz) was less than 0.02%. The laser phase and amplitude noise responses to various injected RF power levels were also investigated. The injection RF power has significant effect on the phase noise and the best jitter value is around 40 dB lower than the cavity regenerated RF power.

K.In this work, a photonic-lantern-based coherent LIDAR system is experimentally demonstrated and the voltage signal-to-noise ratio improvement is analyzed. A voltage signal-to-noise ratio (SNRV) improvement of 2.8 is demonstrated experimentally for photonic-lantern-based coherent receivers relative to single-mode coherent receivers. The voltage signal-to-noise ratio improvement is obtained when other parameters are kept constant. We have also analyzed the effect of random optical power distribution among the single-mode fibers. We found that the distribution does not significantly impact the SNRV improvement. The mean value of voltage signal-to-noise ratio improvement is found to be similar to 2.4. (C) 2015 Optical Society of AmericaArticle Multifunction Optoelectronic Gate(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-02-24) Ozharar, Sarper; Ozdur, Ibrahim; Delfyett, Peter J.A multifunction optoelectronic gate that can perform as any desired logic gate of two variables was theoretically proposed and a simplified version is experimentally demonstrated. The proposed optoelectronic gate is dynamically configurable, and being wavelength independent, it can act on multiple input optical bits and realize different functions simultaneously.

Due to the random nature of Rayleigh backscattered light and fading phenomena, it is hard to characterize the performance of the system. For this reason, the performance of our sensor is specified in a statistical manner in which the mean SNR is determined using the histograms of the SNR. The SNR values are measured for identical acoustic signals in five different days, total of 48 hours and the SNR histograms are obtained for fiber distances of 100 m, 12 km, 21 km, 30 km, 40 km and 50 km. The system is field-tested using external disturbances that are generated from a 50-Hz vibrator. The SNR values are extracted from the power spectral density (psd) of the collected data over the monitored fiber span. Our results show that the phi-OTDR system exhibits a mean SNR of 22.5 dB at 50 km distance.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Analysis of Oscillator Phase Noise Effect on High Order QAM Links(Springer, 2020-08-05) Bicici, Cagri; Ozdur, Ibrahim; Cerezci, OsmanIn this work, the effect of oscillator phase noise on the bit error rate (BER) for high order QAM communication systems is analyzed. Two high frequency oscillators are designed, built and tested to get real phase noise data, and a BER simulation of a 1024 QAM signal through a super-heterodyne frequency down-converter is implemented using the measured data from the two oscillators as local oscillator sources for the down-converter. A third frequency source is also added to the simulation to visualize the dramatic effect of phase noise on the system BER analysis.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Amplitude Noise Suppression by Intracavity Phase Modulation in a Harmonically Mode-Locked Laser(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018-09) Ozharar, Sarper; Ozdur, IbrahimA fiber coupled semiconductor ring laser that employs both an amplitude and a phase modulator was built and actively harmonic mode-locked at a repetition rate of 10 GHz. The phase modulator was driven at the cavity fundamental frequency and its effects on the optical spectrum and the optical pulse train were analyzed. The intracavity phase modulation at the cavity fundamental frequency resulted in 40% lower optical pulse amplitude fluctuations and improved the stability of the optical spectrum.

The system uses two cascaded acousto-optic modulators in order to generate optical pulses with very high extinction ratio and dual photodetector scheme for high dynamic range. The proposed schemes are investigated in detail and their performance enhancement is experimentally verified. Four piezoelectric based fiber stretchers are placed on a similar to 104 km single-mode test fiber at the distances of 1 km, 10 km, 87 km and 102.7 km and used for perturbation tests. The stretchers generated vibration signals which are analyzed to quantify the system performance. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of vibration signals at the monitored distances is measured over the 12-hour recorded data within 34-second time windows considering the multi-point random interference of scattered light and fading phenomena. Using the 12-hour data, SNR histograms at four different locations are generated and mean SNR values are obtained. The signals received from 102.7 km has a maximum SNR of 24.7 dB and a mean SNR of 7.3 dB with a spatial resolution of 15 m. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest-range reported direct detection phi-OTDR based distributed acoustic sensor system.
