OSNTX Zoom Talk, Thursday 12 Sept. at 7PM. All-optical Signal Processing, by Cheng Guo
Meeting details at this link (and calendar reminder can be downloaded):All-optical Signal Processing - 9/12/2024 . (from 6:45)
[For anyone who can make it, we are also meeting in person at the Arlington Downtown Library, 100 S. Center St., Arlington, TX. This is in the Dream Study room on the 3rd floor near the top of the stairs. Free parking outside. See you there.]
All-optical signal processing is a pivotal technology in fiber-optic communications and photonic computation due to the unparalleled processing bandwidth and low-loss property of optical fibers and waveguides. This presentation covers PhD research at the University of Texas at Arlington, focusing on a hybrid S-band amplifier designed to support multi-band communication. Additionally, the suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering through temperature tuning within a highly nonlinear fiber platform will be discussed.
Cheng Guo received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington in July 2024, where he is currently working as a Research Fellow. In 2022 and 2023 he completed two internships at Nokia Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ, USA. His research has focused on all-optical signal processing with nonlinear fiber optics, deep-space quantum networks, space division multiplexing, and microwave photonics.

Optics courses at Collin College
Collin College is offering Continuing Education courses in optics, and it is hoped that these will fill a gap in training related to optics in this North Texas region. Contact Karen Musa (kmusa@collin.edu) or Janeil Lorin (janeil.lorin@archeroptx.com) for more information.

The OSNTX embraces all activities that involve optics in the North Texas region, and although it is an Optica local group, people with a closer affinity to the SPIE and to IEE Photonics are members also. We have had some funding from Optica, and one thing we are still getting used to is the "Optical Society of America" suddenly changing its name to "Optica" in October 2021 (the old logo is below).
