No longer constrained to backbone and long haul networks, fiber has moved from a rarity to a staple in broadband access networks worldwide.

By using combined frequency and amplitude modulation of a Cleaved Coupled Cavity (C(3)) semiconductor laser together with a phase sensitive detection scheme, we have measured the chromatic dispersi

This talk is a short one (10-15 min) on fiber in the loop.

Summary form only given. The rapid increase in bandwidth demand is driving systems toward utilizing more of the roughly 50 THz optical bandwidth available in a fiber.

Fiber lightguides offer a flexible, low optical loss, high bandwidth transmission media for transport of information such as voice, data and video.

Optical fiber materials and fabrication methods are reviewed, with the primary focus on high silica telecommunication lightguides.

The long-term reliability of glass lightguides must be assured as system requirements become more stringent and applications in adverse environments increase.

We discuss the impact of fiber nonlinearity on the transmission performance of coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) in both single-channel and wavelength- division

By guiding light in an optical fiber, the threshold for nonlinear optical effects is reduced by many orders of magnitude.

Nonlinear effects in 28-Gbaud 16QAM transmission with and without inline dispersion compensation are studied.
