potential for enabling higher stability, reconfigurability, and flexibility in a self-managed …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews all-optical nonlinear signal processing devices that
relate to both chalcogenide glasses and highly nonlinear fibers, using both phase-and …

Today's optical networks function are in a fairly static fashion and are built to operate within
well-defined specifications. This scenario is quite challenging for next generation high …

We quantify the benefits of using different techniques for compensation of polarization mode
dispersion (PMD) in fiber-optic communication systems by means of numerical simulations …

We review recent research related to polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in fiber-optic
transmission systems operating at 40 Gb/s and above. We investigate the benefits of using …

In all-optical WDM networks, feasibility of a lightpath are determined by physical layer
impairment accumulation. Physical layer impairment-aware routing and wavelength …

Polarization-related impairments have become a critical issue for high-data-rate optical
systems, particularly when considering polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) and …

Dispersion compensation is the most important feature required in optical fiber
communication system because absence of it leads to pulse spreading that causes the …

Signal degradation due to polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) effects may become
significant for signaling rates of 10 Gb/s, 40 Gb/s, and beyond. To assess the utility of various …
