In this paper, we develop a general first-order perturbation theory of the propagation of a signal in an optical fiber in the presence of amplification and Kerr nonlinearity, valid for …
Nonlinear optical response of silica imposes a fundamental limit on the information transfer capacity in optical fibers. Communication beyond this limit requires higher signal power and …
In this paper, we review the historical evolution of predictions of the performance of optical communication systems. We will describe how such predictions were made from the outset …
Fiber-optic communication systems have revolutionized our telecommunication infrastructures–currently, almost all telephone land-line, cellular, and internet …

Information-theoretic limits to spectral efficiency in dense wavelength-division-multiplexed (DWDM) transmission systems are reviewed, considering various modulation techniques …
The instantaneous optical Kerr effect in optical fibers is a nonlinear phenomenon that can impose limits on the ability of fiber-optic communication systems to transport information. We …
