The Muller Matrix Method enables the low-noise, high-resolution measurement of second-order polarization-mode-dispersion (PMD) depolarization and related parameters required for systems modeling.
T h e dielectric a n d m a g n e t i c properties of semi-conducting ferromagnetic materials such as ferrites have been t h e subject of intense s t u d y in recent years.
The wavelength-drift under burst-mode operation is evaluated. A fast drift at start of burst is found that has inverted sign compared to thermal drift.
Group velocity dispersion spectra have been determined for 7.8-m lengths of single-mode optical fiber.
The performance of a long-distance millimeter waveguide communication system can be seriously degraded by slowly decaying echo trains in the impulse response.
We demonstrate the characterization of optical sources with high sensitivity, high temporal resolution, and phase sensitivity using linear optical sampling.
A standing problem in low-dimensional electron systems is the nature of the 5/2 fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state: Its elementary excitations are a focus for both elucidating the state's properti
We review the current status of direct measurements of interactions between polymer surfaces using a surface forces apparatus.
We present an optimized technique for the measurement of gain and losses of semiconductor lasers.
: The temporal dynamics of the gain and phase of a pump-modulated SOA are measured using the spectrogram technique.
