We study, experimentally and numerically, the increase of the stimulated Brillouin scattering
(SBS) threshold in dispersion-shifted fibers (DSFs) by applying three different tensile-strain …

The present invention provides a distributed Raman amplifier for an optical network and a
corresponding method that eliminate or reduce problems and disadvantages asso ciated …

Chirp control to produce low or negative values of chirp at the output of an electroabsorption
modulator (EAM) is an important mechanism for reducing the signal degradation due to …

Optical networks using singlemode fiber rely on negative chirp to improve the transmission
performance. In particular for an electroabsorption modulator (EAM) optimal chirp control is …

Future optical networks will employ many component technologies including transmitters,
modulators, amplifiers, wavelength converters, add–drop multiplexers and crossconnects to …
