Conversion of a wideband frequency-modulated signal to amplitude modulation through dispersion in an optical fiber

|August 28, 2009
Abstract:
Our calculation shows that, by means of group-velocity dispersion of an optical fiber, a cw frequency-modulated signal evolves into an intense and sharp pulse. The results compare favorably with an earlier analysis of a narrowband FM system. In particular, the minimum fiber length needed for maximum FM-AM conversion may be considerably reduced.

Properties of Fourier Transform I
The application of Fourier Transform properties in radio broadcasting is multifaceted, enabling significant advancements in the way signals are transmitted and received. Key areas where these properties are utilized include simultaneous multi-channel transmission, audio clip speed adjustments, live broadcast delays for different time zones, audio frequency adjustments, and signal demodulation.
In radio broadcasting, multiple audio signals often need to be transmitted simultaneously. The Fourier...

Propagation of Waves
When a wave propagates from one medium to another, part of it may get reflected in the first medium, and part of it may get transmitted to the second medium. In such a case, the interface of the two mediums can be considered as a boundary that is neither fixed nor free.
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...

Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation
Signal processing techniques are essential for accurately converting continuous signals to digital formats and vice versa. When a continuous signal is sampled with a period T, the resulting sampled signal exhibits replicas of the original spectrum in the frequency domain, spaced at intervals equal to the sampling frequency. To handle this sampled signal, a zero-order hold method can be applied, which creates a piecewise constant signal by retaining each sample's value until the next sampling...
