Over the past fifty years, telecommunications has transformed, in an unprecedented manner,
the way we live, work and communicate. For telecommunications, fixed networks are the one …

An all-optical aggregation and de-aggregation scheme between one 8-ary quadrature
amplitude modulation (8QAM) signal and three binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signals is …

A real-time implementation of a coherent optical pluggable module using digital sub-carrier
(DSC) multiplexing has recently been demonstrated. Whilst these modules can support …

There is a continuous search for novel technologies to extend the NIR emission and expand
the operation range of current Er-doped silica-based glasses. In this sense, it is important to …
