Polarization control in nonlinear polarization rotation based mode-locked fiber lasers is a
long-term challenge. Suffering from the polarization drifts induced by environmental …

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

Publisher Summary This chapter explores optical performance monitoring (OPM) and its
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 report an all solid-state polarization-state generator that uses magneto-optic polarization
rotators. The device can generate either five or six distinctive polarization states uniformly …

This article presents a novel encoder technique of spectral amplitude coded multiple access
(SAC-OCDMA) systems. The proposed technique is based on two orthogonal polarization …

We demonstrate a polarization-insensitive silicon 4× 4 optical switch based on Mach–
Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switch elements. On-chip polarization controllers are …

Optical performance monitoring (OPM) and optical network management (ONM) are
essential in building a reliable, high-capacity, and service-differentiation enabled all-optical …

We propose and demonstrate a polarization controller, which is a concatenation of three
Faraday rotators based on magneto-optic crystals separated by two fixed quarter wave …
