A novel technique for controlling the bandwidth of a fiber Brillouin amplifier is proposed and demonstrated.
The operation and noise properties of fiber Brillouin amplifiers are described, and the applications demonstrated to date are reviewed.
We calculate theoretical limits to fiber-optic transport capacity under the constraint of requiring the use of concentric multi-ring modulation alphabets.
Summary Determining a fundamental limit to the rate of transmission of information in optical fibers, or fiber capacity, requires bringing together concepts of information theory, nonlinear dynamic
The availability of coherent detection and its capability to compensate for chromatic dispersion will have a clear impact on system design and fiber characteristic especially for ultra-longhaul sys
Surface tension dominated axially-symmetric flows, relevant to the application of thin coatings on optical fibers, are considered for pressurized dies using lubrication theory.
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.
