… of Optics Express, this paper reviews the evolution of optical fiber communication systems,
and through a look at the previous 20 years attempts to extrapolate fiber-optic technology …

We report on an ytterbium-doped photonic crystal fiber with a core diameter of 60 µm and
mode-field-area of ~2000 µm^2 of the emitted fundamental mode. Together with the short …

… , the optic axis orientation is … optic axis orientation of well defined polarization states in a
technical object and present maps of birefringence and, what we believe for the first time, of optic …

Electrically pumped lasing from Germanium-on-Silicon pnn heterojunction diode structures
is demonstrated. Room temperature multimode laser with 1mW output power is measured. …

Digital filters underpin the performance of coherent optical receivers which exploit digital signal
processing (DSP) to mitigate transmission impairments. We outline the principles of such …

… is much richer, and consequently much more complex than its counterpart at the laboratory
scale [19], setting this field of research as one of the new frontiers of non-linear optics. …

An overview is presented of the impact of NLO on today’s daily life. While NLO researchers
have promised many applications, only a few have changed our lives so far. This paper …

… These systems have found applications both in linear optics as sensors and in nonlinear
optics for supercontinuum generation and other forms of frequency conversion. In this paper, …

A new procedure for calculating the scattered fields from a perfectly conducting body is
introduced. The method is defined by considering three assumptions. The reflection angle is …

We explore optical-to-terahertz conversion efficiencies which can be achieved with femto- and
picosecond optical pulses in electro-optic crystals with periodically inverted sign of second…
