    Abstract: A communication system includes a first communication gateway arranged proximate to a surface of a body of water and an underwater communication gateway. The underwater communication gateway is configured to receive data from a first underwater communication device using radio frequencies and the ethernet data link layer protocol, to convert the data received from the first underwater communication device from the ethernet data link layer protocol to the second data link layer protocol, and to transmit, using optical radiation and the second data link layer protocol, the data converted by the underwater communication gateway to the first communication gateway. The first communication gateway is configured to convert the data transmitted by the underwater communication gateway from the second data link layer protocol to the ethernet data link layer protocol, and to transmit, using the ethernet data link layer protocol, the data converted by the first communication device to a further communication device.

    Abstract: Methods are provided for modifying the emission wavelength of a semiconductor quantum well laser diode, e.g. by blue shifting the emission wavelength. The methods can be applied to a variety of semiconductor quantum well laser diodes, e.g. group III-V semiconductor quantum wells. The group III-V semiconductor can include AlSb, AlAs, Aln, AlP, BN, GaSb, GaAs, GaN, GaP, InSb, InAs, InN, and InP, and group III-V ternary semiconductors alloys such as AlxGai.xAs. The methods can results in a blue shifting of about 20 meV to 350 meV, which can be used for example to make group III-V semiconductor quantum well laser diodes with an emission that is orange or yellow. Methods of making semiconductor quantum well laser diodes and semiconductor quantum well laser diodes made therefrom are also provided.

    Abstract: A hybrid sensing-communication system includes a multicore optical fiber that includes first and second cores, a first communication device optically coupled to a first end of the first core of the multicore optical fiber, a second communication device optically coupled to a second end of the first core of the multicore optical fiber, a first sensing device optically coupled to a first end of the second core of the multicore optical fiber, and a second sensing device optically coupled to a second end of the second core of the multicore optical fiber. The first and second communication devices exclusively exchange communication data along the first core, the first and second sensing devices exclusively exchange sensing data along the second core, and the communication data is different from the sensing data.

    Abstract: Systems and methods include a method for overcoming optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) dead zone limitations by using a few-mode fiber (FMF). Optical pulses are transmitted by a transmitter of an OTDR system through a mode MUX/DEMUX into an FMF. Light signals directed by the FMF in a backward direction through the mode MUX/DEMUX are received by the OTDR system through N single-mode fiber (SMF) ports corresponding to N modes in the FMF. Light signals from N−1 dead-zone-free SMF ports are collected by the OTDR system. Losses are measured and faults are located in the FMF based at least on the light signals.

    Abstract: A plastic optical fiber communication system includes a light source that emits a first signal having a first wavelength in a visible light spectrum, the first signal being encoded with information at a high data-rate of 0.1 to 10 Gbit/s; a pump laser system that emits a pump laser light having a second wavelength, different from the first wavelength; a perovskite-doped optical fiber excited by the pump laser light to generate an amplified spontaneous emission spectrum that encompasses the first wavelength so as to receive and amplify the first signal for generating an amplified output signal having the first wavelength; and a photodetector optically coupled to the perovskite-doped optical fiber, and configured to receive the amplified output signal at the high data-rate of 0.1 to 10 Gbit/s. The amplified output signal is encoded with the information.
