In WDM optical networks, the physical layer impairments (PLIs) and their significance
depend on network type-opaque, translucent, or transparent; the reach-access, metro, or …

The authors present a review of all-optical signal-processing technologies based on/spl
chi//sup (2)/nonlinear interactions in guided-wave devices and their applications for …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses ultra-high-speed data transmission in optical
fibers based on optical multiplexing (OTDM) technology, giving a general description of an …

This paper describes the demonstration of 2.5-Gb/s four-user optical-code-division-multiple-
access (OCDMA) system operating at bit-error rate< or= 10^-11 utilizing programmable …

This paper serves as an introduction to this volume on ultra-high-speed optical transmission
technology. It reviews ultra-high-speed data transmission in optical fibers, which is …

We propose several techniques to modulate the local amplitude of quasi-phase-matched
(QPM) interactions in periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides and demonstrate …

We demonstrate first-order quasi-phase-matched backward second-harmonic generation
(BSHG) with an efficiency of 18.7%. This represents an increase by two orders of magnitude …

The virtually unlimited bandwidth of optical fibers has caused a great increase in data
transmission speed over the past decade and, hence, stimulated high-demand multimedia …

Efficient wavelength conversion is an attractive approach for obtaining coherent radiation in
regions of the spectrum where lasers are unavailable or impractical. Optical signal …

We propose a versatile guided-wave geometry encompassing electro-optic control for signal
routing. A zero-gap directional coupler in liquid crystal can switch between two output states …
