A new generation of 10 Gb/s wafer fused VCSELS show high single mode output in excess of 2mW at 80 degrees C (6mW at 20 degrees C) in the 1310 nm band and 1.5mW at 80 degrees C (4 mW at 20 degrees C) in the 1550 nm band. Error free transmission over 10 km ...
We report here the fabrication of fiber chromatic dispersion compensators, along with the tests of those components in wavelength-division-multiplexed transmission at 10 Gb/s and an analysis of their performance by simulation. ...

Performance monitoring is one of the key features to create self-managed optical networks. Monitoring the characteristics of an optical channel is important for designing robust and reliable optical telecommunication system. This thesis examined the use of ...
We present a novel distributed sensing technique that allows for the observation of Brillouin gain spectral distribution and acoustic decay time in photonic crystal fiber as well as in standard single-mode fiber. ...
We present a novel distributed sensing technique that makes possible the observation of Brillouin gain spectral distribution and acoustic decay time in photonic crystal fiber as well as in standard single-mode fiber. ...
The failure of a single optical link or node in a Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) network may cause the simultaneous failure of several optical channels. In some cases, this simultaneity may make it impossible for the higher level (SONET or IP) to r ...
Several applications are pushing the development of high performance mode-locked lasers: generation of short pulses for extremely high bit rate transmission at 100 Gb/s and beyond, all-optical clock recovery at 40 Gb/s and beyond, generation of millimeter ...
A novel technique to produce large all-optically controlled tunable delays of 100 ps pulse train in optical fibers is demonstrated. The configuration of the delay line basically consists of two main stages: the wavelength conversion via semiconductor optic ...
The accurate mapping of chromatic-dispersion distribution along single-mode optical fibers with the best spatial resolution ever reported is experimentally demonstrated. The method consists of a new way of probing four-wave-mixing (FWM) efficiency along th ...
A single failure in a communication network may trigger many alarms. When the communication network uses optical fibres as a transmission medium and increases its capacity by using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) and Space Division Multiplexing (SDM ...
