The first pigtailed saturable absorber chip has been implemented with eight independent fibres using a simple coupling technique.
With the arrival of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems carrying large numbers of wavelength channels, it appears that new cross-connect architectures that allow large numbers of waveleng
We propose three new optical cross-connect architectures based on multi wavelength modules, which are capable of routing simultaneously N wavelengths.
Experimental demonstration of 4800 km transmission of 4 x 40 Gbit/s CSRZ signals using optical phase conjugation for nonlinearity compensation is presented.
A 16x112 Gb/s field trial was performed over the fiber infrastructure of Deutsche Telekom partially with high PMD.
Stimulated Brillouin scattering is used as a tunable narrowband amplifier to demodulate, amplify, and select channels in a densely packed WDM network.
A device that can be used for channel individual polarization controlling in wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) systems is proposed.
We present the final results of the EU FP7 ERMES project, which focused on the development of a WDM-PON colourless self-tuning transmitter based on RSOA self-seeding.
This paper presents the experimental results obtained on a 16 users WDM PON architecture based on wavelength-seeded R-SOAs both at OLT and ONUs operating at 1,25 Gbit/s.
The optical packet switching technology has been identified as a key technology to offer data rate and modulation format transparency, fine switching granularity and efficient bandwidth utilization
