Recent progress in forward error correction (FEC) for optical communications is reviewed.
The various types of FEC are classified as belonging to one of three generations. A third …

Surface plasmons exhibit an extraordinary capability to reduce the structural size and
improve light− matter interaction. However, for small‐sized plasmonic cavities, the optical …

In this chapter, forward error correction (FEC) techniques for optical communications are
described. In Sect. 17.1, the basic concepts of FEC and its terminology are explained. The …

Today the vast majority of telecommunication and Internet messages are sent along fiber
optic cables buried underground. Binary data (encoded as a sequence of pulses of light) …

Based on the computed exact probability density functions (PDFs), we analyze the
conventional Gaussian approximation (GA) method and the thresholding-based bit error rate …

We present a practical scheme for measurement-device-independent polarization shift
keying using two state polarization encoding. Most of the previous work on optical free …

The performance of long-haul coherent optical systems is fundamentally limited by fiber
nonlinearity and its interplay with chromatic dispersion and noise. Due to nonlinearity, the …

The growing demand of bandwidth in this modern internet age has been testing the existing
telecommunication infrastructures around the world. With broadband speeds moving …

The operation approach is applied to solve the Maxwell equations for a sequence of circular
layers the permittivity and permeability tensors of which depend on the radial coordinate …

An error free (BER<; 10-12) data transmission system model over 50km distance using
single mode fiber (SMF) is demonstrated at 0.6 Tb/s in this paper. This Vertical Cavity …
