      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      The carrier to signal power ratio (CSPR) in a directdetection optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system based on remote heterodyne scheme is optimized in a passive optical network (PON) downlink. ...
    • Optimum CSPR evaluation of heterodyne envelope receivers in OFDM-PONs 

      Shariati, Mohammad Behnam; Cano Valadéz, Iván Nicolás; Santos Blanco, M. Concepción (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      A heterodyne envelope (HE) receiver (RX) is investigated in the context of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) passive optical networks (PONs). Impacts of limited roll-off factor of shaping filter and required ...

      Cano Valadéz, Iván Nicolás; Santos Blanco, M. Concepción; Prat Gomà, Josep Joan; Krimmel, H.G.; Kavatzikidis, T.; Giacoumidis, E.; Tomkos, Ioannis (IEEE Press. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2011)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      In this paper, we present a physical layer parameter optimization of direct-detection optical OFDM techniques at bitrates of 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s using an intensity modulation and two types of field modulation transmitte ...
    • Polarization independent single-PD coherent ONU receiver with centralized scrambling in udWDM-PONs 

      Cano Valadéz, Iván Nicolás; Lerín de la Santísima Trinidad, Adolfo; Polo Querol, Víctor; Prat Gomà, Josep Joan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      A centralized polarization scrambling and single-PD coherent ONU Rx system is proposed and tested with two Tx and direct-phase modulated DFBs. Polarization independence at the Rx, and a sensitivity at BER=10-3 of ×45dBm ...
    • Simple intradyne PSK system for UDWDM-PON 

      Prat Gomà, Josep Joan; Polo Querol, Víctor; Zakynthinos, P.; Cano Valadéz, Iván Nicolás; Tabares, J.; Fàbrega Sánchez, Josep Maria; Klonidis, Dimitrios; Tomkos, Ioannis (2012-12-17)
      Article
      Open Access
      A homodyne coherent receiver for ultra-dense WDM-PON with off the shelf components is presented. It consists of a conventional DFB, phase switched clock signal, an optical coupler instead of a 90º hybrid, balanced ...
    • Simplified polarization diversity heterodyne receiver for 1.25Gb/s cost-effective udWDM-PON 

      Cano Valadéz, Iván Nicolás; Lerín de la Santísima Trinidad, Adolfo; Polo Querol, Víctor; Prat Gomà, Josep Joan (2014)
      Conference report
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      We propose a heterodyne receiver with a single-photodiode per polarization for ONU receiver in low-cost udWDM-PON. This grants polarization diversity operation showing a penalty of 6dB in sensitivity compared to a balanced ...
