    Dataset for Mitigation of Nonlinear Effects onWDM QAM Signals Enabled by Optical Phase Conjugation with Efficient Bandwidth Utilization

    No full text
    We present nonlinear impairment mitigation of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signals, through optical phase conjugation (OPC). We conduct our experiments on a 400-km long installed fiber link equipped with erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), with the OPC placed close to the middle of the link. Our OPC configuration realizes efficient reuse of the signal bandwidth, avoiding the loss of half of the spectral band typical of most phase conjugating schemes. We demonstrate the operation of the system using both 16- and 64- quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals and report Q-factor improvements up to 0.5 and 2.5 dB for 16- and 64-QAM, respectively.

    Multi-channel all-optical signal processing based on parametric effects

    No full text
    Two different experiments that use parametric effects for the processing of multiple signals in a single fiber are reviewed. The first experiment uses optical phase conjugation to mitigate the effects of nonlinearity in transmission, whereas the second uses multiple phase-sensitive amplifiers to regenerate six different channels

    Nonlinearity Mitigation for Multi-channel 64-QAM Signals in a Deployed Fiber Link through Optical Phase Conjugation

    No full text
    We report nonlinearity mitigation of two 64-QAM signals, tested in a WDM environment, through mid-link optical phase conjugation. Efficient reuse of signal bandwidth and a Q-factor improvement of more than 1.7 dB is demonstrated in a 400 km installed fiber link.</span

    A successful model of regional healthcare information exchange in Japan: Case Study in Kagawa Prefecture

    No full text
    In this study, we focused on analysis of healthcare data exchange over the network. For the advance of broadband capability development, many governments expect online medical information exchange between medical institutions. Japanese government also has tried to deploy ICT in the healthcare field. In Japan, many healthcare ICT projects started, but almost of all the projects face many issues and failed to continue. This situation caused us to clarify the success factor of healthcare information exchange network. For inspecting the success factors, we analyzed information access of healthcare systems in Kagawa prefecture of Japan. Kagawa prefecture is one of the most advance areas for healthcare information technology. We analyzed four medical ICT projects in Kagawa prefecture: K-MIX, Critical Pathway for Diabetes, E-prescription, and PHR. In addition, we inspected characteristics of exchanged data in the network, and stakeholder involved in these projects. This analysis lets us find various types of healthcare ICT projects. Characteristic of data processed in the projects caused differences of characteristic of the projects. On the other hand, multiple systems process same data, though the project does not share the data itself. Considering various types of medical information exchanges projects, we propose classification and standard format of exchanged data according to their characteristic are critical for efficient business deployment. --e-Health,regional healthcare information exchange,EHR

    Parasites affect humans worldwide with varying degrees of seriousness. Some of the most impactful parasitic infections affect millions of people, many of whom are already impoverished and struggling. The discoveries of the 2015 Nobel Laureates in Physiology of Medicine have changed the way some of these serious parasitic infections are treated, saving and improving the lives of countless people. These Laureates are William C. Campbell, Satoshi Ōmura, and Youyou Tu
