This book provides a comprehensive account of fiber-optic communication systems. The 3rd
edition of this book is used worldwide as a textbook in many universities. This 4th edition …

Applications of Nonlinear Fiber Optics, Third Edition presents sound coverage of the
fundamentals of lightwave technology, along with material on pulse compression techniques …

We review recent research related to polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in fiber-optic
transmission systems operating at 40 Gb/s and above. We investigate the benefits of using …

We present beat length and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) measurements performed
on installed fibers. Results regard three different kinds of fibers: standard step-index …

The role of Q-factor and of time jitter in the evaluation of the system performance has been
investigated for return-to-zero (RZ) optically amplified links. We show that, also if the …

We investigate using alternate-polarization (APol) on-off keying formats, in which adjacent
bits have orthogonal states of polarization, to suppress intrachannel nonlinear impairments …

We show that the alternate polarization of adjacent bits and channels in N/spl times/40-Gb/s
wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) transmission system causes significant …

The non-reciprocal and dynamic nature of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in optical
fibers can be a problem for accurate time and frequency transfer. Here, a simple, passive …

We review the research progress concerning some fundamental issues related to
polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) in high-speed fiber-optic transmission systems. We pay …

This paper presents a scheme to enhance the performance of an ultrahigh capacity (100
Gb/s) long haul transmission system that makes use of chirped fibre Bragg gratings (FBG) for …
