We report and characterize an optical amplifier capable of five-mode amplification, with erbium concentration profile adjusted for low gain excursion across the modes.
Design, fabrication, and performance of high speed in-line microcell waveplates based on nematic liquid crystals are reported.
We report a type of high speed, liquid crystal microcell polarimeter that is built directly between the tips of optical fibers.
We describe the design, fabrication, and performance of a high-speed, continuously tunable, and reset-free polarization controller based on nematic liquid-crystal (NLC) microcell wave plates fabric
We demonstrate a compact, in-fiber polarimeter employing a UV induced birefrigent fiber waveplate and blazed fiber gratings as polarization sensitive optical taps.
Single-mode fiber quarter-wave plates utilizing linear birefrigence induced by coiling the fiber in a loop are described.
This paper proposes a protocol to share and synchronize transmission parameters between a transmitter and a receiver of two optical transponders to allow for hitless communication.
In Content-Centric Networking (CCN), the innetwork caching feature provides several attractive advantages such as low dissemination latency and network transport load reduction.
HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) services allow the quality of streaming video to be automatically adapted by the client application in face of network and device dynamics.
We report a directly reflectivity modulated laser that generates a 50-Gbaud QPSK signal with a BER of 2.2×10?5.
