The capacity in long-haul transmission has been increased steadily by three orders of magnitude over the last twenty years.
This short course will describe the fundamental principles governing propagation in optical fibers.
We explore the potential of a future cable access technology that pushes the capacity of the coaxial cable network to its limits.
We compare cost savings when planning a WDM French backbone network based on SSMF or LEAF, with 32 GBaud elastic optical transponders adapting their capacity from 100 Gb/s to 300 Gb/s to the actual
Optical processing in fiber has enabled recent advances such as large, tuneable signal delays, the shifting of signals to mid-IR wavelengths, and the creation of specific quantum states useful in s
The combination of tight confinement and low attenuation in optical fiber enables moderate-power fiber-based nonlinear optical processing functions such as frequency shifting, phase conjugation, su
We show that the fiber count of a SDM wavelength selective switch can match an equivalent single-mode WSS using a mode-remapper at the switch input and a proportional increase in spectral-resolutio
We present fiber-nonlinearity-tolerant transmission of polarization-division multiplexed binary phase-shift keying (PDM-BPSK) through a nonlinear noise squeezing (NLNS) effect that is achieved by o
A two-dimensional array splicing approach for connecting fiber optic cable has been reported previously.
High data rate transmission and the accompanying requirements for broad bandwidth have made optical fiber the new media for interconnecting local area networks.
