with experimental techniques for realizing them. High-speed optical transmission systems …

Advanced optical modulation formats have become a key ingredient to the design of modern
wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optically routed networks. In this paper, we review …

Fiber-optic communication systems have revolutionized our telecommunication
infrastructures–currently, almost all telephone land-line, cellular, and internet …

We present a simple, silica waveguide optical equalizer that significantly mitigates
intersymbol interference (ISI) impairments for many wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) …

Polarization mode dispersion (PMD), a potentially limiting impairment in high-speed long-
distance fiber-optic communication systems, refers to the distortion of propagating optical …

The effects of chromatic dispersion (CD), polarization-mode dispersion (PMD), and

Publisher Summary The growth of technology led to limiting impairments like loss, chromatic
dispersion, and non-linearities. Their solution made fiber optics the universal transmission …

We numerically study polarization-mode dispersion in fiber routes with a finite number of
degrees of freedom, show that individual channels in such systems exhibit a non …

Advanced simulations show that closed-form outage predictions for first-order polarization-
mode dispersion (PMD) can be inaccurate in practical communication systems. We adapt …
