We present a novel, electromagnetically induced transparency system based on guided-mode resonances and numerically demonstrate its transmission characteristics through finite-difference time-domain simulations. The system is composed of two planar dielectric waveguides and a subwavelength grating. It is shown that by coupling the two resonant guide modes with a low- and high-quality factor, a narrow transparency window is generated inside a broad background transmission dip produced by the guided-mode resonance. Our work could provide another efficient way toward the realization of electromagnetically induced transparency.

Abstract. We demonstrate a highly efficient in-fiber outcoupling device. The core mode is coupled to the cladding by a tilted fiber Bragg grating and then the cladding mode is out-coupled from the optical fiber through V-grooved cladding. The light emitting characteristics are investigated experimentally and a maximum out-coupling efficiency of 54.8% is obtained.

In this paper, a method to construct a directional-backlight unit system to separate the left-eye image and the right-eye image by adopting a double-slit barrier array is proposed to enhance the perceived quality of the realized 3D image. Additionally, the two-dimensional/three-dimensional convertible function is also realized by adopting an active diffuser to the spatial interlacing directional-backlight system.

We present the design and evaluation of a 10-gigabit small form factor pluggable transceiver with a prototype single-chip burst-mode receiver, a signal detection circuit, and a clock-data-recovery device for 2.5 Gbit/s upstream in the ITU-T G.987.2 recommendation.

In this work, we study the physical layer solutions for 10‐gigabit‐capable passive optical networks (PONs), particularly for an optical link terminal (OLT) including a 10‐Gbit/s electroabsorption modulated laser (EML) and a 2.5‐Gbit/s burst mode receiver (BM‐Rx) in a novel bidirectional optical subassembly (BOSA). As unique features, a bidirectional mini‐flat package and a 9‐pin TO package are developed for a 10‐gigabit‐capable PON OLT BOSA composed of a 1,577‐nm EML and a 1,270‐nm avalanche photodiode BM‐Rx, including a single‐chip burst mode integrated circuit that is integrated with a transimpedance and limiting amplifier. In the developed prototype, the 10‐Gbit/s transmitter and 2.5‐Gbit/s receiver characteristics are evaluated and compared with the physical media dependent (PMD) specifications in ITU‐T G.987.2 for XG‐PON1. By conducting the 10‐Gbit/s downstream and 2.5‐Gbit/s upstream transmission experiments, we verify that the developed 10‐gigabit‐capable PON PMD prototype can operate for extended network coverage of up to a 40‐km fiber reach.
