Survivable European optical transport network: capacity evaluation

The feasibility of a survivable all-optical transport network over standard single-mode fibre between eight major European cities is investigated. The chosen topology is intended to ensure survivability after a link or a node failure. The maximum transmiss ...

Polarization mode dispersion for single-mode fibers with polarization dependent losses

Max-Olivier Hongler, Nicolas Gisin

Birefringent single-mode fibers with random polarization mode coupling and polarization dependent losses are considered. The effect of these losses on polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is computed. The relevant number is found to be the differential loss ...

Interferometric Measurements Of Birefringence In Single Mode Fibers And Devices

Luc Thévenaz

A simple method for interferometric measurements of chromatic and polarization mode dispersion os single mode fibres and devices is presented. Accuracy of the method and resolution limits are discussed. ...

1990

Highly accurate group delay measurements in long single-mode fibers were achieved over the full 1200-1600 nm spectral range by measuring phase shifts of a modulated lightwave. The high modulation frequency is shifted down to the kilohertz range using a sec ...

Determination of the individual strain-optic coefficients in single-mode optical fibers

René Dändliker

A method to determine the individual strain-optic coefficients in single-mode fibers is described. It is based on two photoelastic experiments, namely, the polarimetric measurement of optical activity induced by mechanical twist and the interferometric mea ...

All-fiber interferometer for chromatic dispersion measurements

Luc Thévenaz

An all-fiber interferometric method for chromatic dispersion measurements in meter-length single-mode fibers is presented. In a Michelson setup the physical length of a reference fiber was varied so as to obtain adjustable optical delay. Time resolution, e ...

Measuring the Chromatic Dispersion of Single Mode Fibres

Luc Thévenaz

The principal techniques for chromatic dispersion measurements are described with special focus on the interferometric methods. The techniques are compared with respect to their results, advantages and limitations, and the influence of birefringence effect ...

Caractérisation industrielle des fibres monomodes

Luc Thévenaz

A device, which follows the CCITT recommendations, has been developed to measure attenuation, spot-size and cut-off wavelength of single-mode fibers in the 0.9 to 1.6 μm wavelength range. In developing this device, great care was given to reliability and e ...
