theoretically and experimentally. The noise and bit-error-rate characteristics of lightwave …

Reflecting changes in the field in the ten years since the publication of the first edition, The
Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition explores recent advances that have affected this …

The application of semiconductor laser amplifiers to long-wavelength optical fiber systems is
discussed. The basic equations defining laser amplifier characteristics are presented …

For many years, passive optical networks (PONs) have received a considerable amount of
attention regarding their potential for providing broadband connectivity, especially in remote …

This paper presents an introduction to the principles of lightwave system engineering. The
treatment is historical rather than categorical-lightwave systems are described in terms of …

Two synchronous multiple access schemes, TDMA and CDMA, are proposed for fiber optic
networks using optical signal processing. Network synchronization is achieved by using a …

Analytical expressions are derived for the amplified spontaneous emission of a DFB
(distributed-feedback) semiconductor laser amplifier with reflective cavity ends. The analysis …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the design and operating characteristics of
optical amplifiers that have structures similar to semiconductor lasers. Because the …

Previously, the transmission line laser model (TLLM) has been used to predict the pulse
response of semiconductor laser amplifiers. This paper shows that it can also be used find …

The formulation of a new scattering matrix, and the use of a gain compensation term allows
the transmission-line laser model, previously described, to simulate both travelling-wave …
