Dear
Tom,
I was in the call
last week. I would appreciate to be in your list.
Thank you very
much.
Best

Discussions were based on Tom's emails of
7/29 (agenda for call) and 7/25 (project outline), as well as lindsay_01_0704.
The agenda from the 7/29 email was approved.
·
A succinct statement is required. Action to Tom to
draft. Cost is a motivation. Per 7/25 email, purpose is to gather and study
cost, test methods, and penalty information and make a proposal to the
LRM task force in September. I expect refinement will continue beyond that
time. Any work from this group may be traded against work from the channel
modeling group or the new TP3 group.
·
Work and proposal must include test methods. An
important goal is that test methods should be simple and practical to keep
test cost low.
·
This group's charter does not include launch
geometries. That work is being done as part of the channel modeling. This
group's work is focused on the time and frequency domain aspects of signals
(masks, edge rates, etc.).
·
The main LRM reflector is to be used.
The high-level task list (per 7/29 email)
was approved. Task order was discussed. Cost information must be shared early
so that experimental and simulation work know where to focus. Test metrics
must be proposed early to also support experimental and simulation
work.
·
Propose/develop TP2 test metrics - probably
required anyway; see slide 14 of lindsay_01_0704 for initial ideas
·
Simulations - penalty and test metric results vs.
signal specs/characteristics
·
Experimental work - penalty and test metric
results vs. signal specs/characteristics
·
Develop cost models - relative costs vs.
signal specs/characteristics
·
Present tradeoff data and recommendations
The scope of study must include anything
that both affects cost and TP2 signaling properties. This includes laser
drivers, driver to laser coupling and packaging, laser chips, and optical
power coupling efficiency (and electrical drive).
Task details need development by the
volunteers doing the work, although some thoughts may be available in
lindsay_01_0704. Some tasks require inputs from other tasks, such
as
·
Experimental work must be guided by where cost
benefits may lie.
·
Simulation work must also be guided by where cost
benefits may lie but also by the practical range of parameter values
determined by limits or availability of actual hardware.
·
Both experimental and simulation work require test
metrics/methods to compare their tracking with penalty results.
In general, as folks develop details for
progressing their task(s), please determine what information you need from
other parts of this group or to share within the same task. This is critical to bound and focus the
work.

More volunteers are requested! Please let
me know what you are interested in supporting. There were several folks that
indicated interested in this work that were not able to make this
call.
·
Since we are trying to support the September
interim, we need to know its dates as soon as possible.
·
Calls will be held ~weekly.
·
Next call will be Friday 8/6 at 9 AM
PDT. Same numbers.
