PLANNED ACTIVITIES FOR THIS YEAR( AS PER LAST
PRESENTATION)
5
Generation of OFDM using AWG and interferometer.

Bi-directional all-optical OFDM.

Hardware implementation.

WORK DONE FROM FEBRUARY-JUNE 14
Designed and simulated all-optical OFDM using 3dB couplers(extended
version of previous work).
Designed 4-channel system for different data rates 40Gbps and
100Gbps.
The signal power of the source, extinction ratio of optical modulator,
dispersion parameter and responsivity of the detector were optimised
to achieve a min SNR of 20dB and min BER of 10
-9
.
Extended the same system for 8-channel all-optical OFDM using
fourier, hartley and cosine transforms.

Generated all-optical OFDM using AWG.
Designed and simulated unidirectional and bi-directional 8-channel
system .
