A sequential optical frequency-division multiplexing technique using cross-phase modulation in fibers with exactly frequency-controlled optical subcarrier signals is proposed and demonstrated. 12 channels of 10-Gb/s ASK/DPSK signals with 20-GHz exact channel spacing are successfully multiplexed all-optically at 12 stages with 1-km intervals.

High-resolution cross-dispersion spectrographs are widely used in spectroscopy, but the two-dimensional format of the spectrum requires sophisticated calibration, conventionally performed by illuminating the instrument with a broadband hollow-cathode lamp and cross-referencing the result to an emission-line atlas. Here, we introduce a new technique to completely calibrate a high-resolution echelle spectrograph using only a laser frequency comb. Selected individual comb lines are removed from a broadband 20 GHz laser frequency comb-revealing their exact location in the spectrograph echellogram-and wavelength-tagged with sub-fm accuracy.

In the proposed scheme, the radio frequency (RF) carrier and the coding signal are sent to the two RF ports of the DMZM, respectively. By properly setting the amplitude of the coding signal and the bias voltage of the DMZM, an exact π-phase-shift phase-coded microwave signal is generated.
