The principles of operation of fiber-optic gyroscopes are reviewed. Performance-limiting
phenomena are discussed along with methods to reduce their effect on the rotation-rate …

Single-mode optical fiber is an attractive delay medium for processing microwave frequency
signals due to its extremely low loss (< 0.1 dB/µs) and large available time-bandwidth …

State-of-the-art and systems applications of single-mode wavelength-division multiplexing
(WDM) devices are described. The performance characteristics required differ depending on …

This paper discusses a distributed frequency modulation continuous wave radar system.
This K-band radar system has high sensitivity, linearity, and flatness to detect low-radar …

The technology of optical-fiber systems is advancing rapidly. Parallel to the development of
long-haul telecommunication systems in the gigabits per second data rates operating in the …

This work covers the history of optical communications, fibres and fiber cables, and
compares optical fibres with other transmission media. It also discusses optical fibre …

We proposed and numerically investigated a new circular hollow photonic crystal fiber made
of LiNbO3 as the high-index ring material with silica as the background layer supporting …

A rate 0.964 forward error correcting (FEC) code is integrated into the low-speed tributaries
of a 565-Mb/s lightwave system as an exploratory system design approach toward relaxing …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the sources of noise in receivers employing
either p–i–n or avalanche photodiodes (APDs) and compares the sensitivities that can be …

We discuss recent advances in the field of optoelectronic device integration. Several
problems and advantages associated with integration are illustrated by discussing in detail …
