PAPER Special Issue on Optical Fiber Sensors

distributed sensings on temperature and strain have been extensively investigated based on Raman [1] and Brillouin [2] scattering methods, respectively. During the course of our developments on a new sensor which can work as one of sensing elements for multi-point detection using a Rayleighscattering based OTDR through an optical fiber network, a hetero-core fiber optic sensor was exploratively...

Stable soliton pairs in optical transmission lines and fiber lasers

Optical-fiber transmission of pulses can be modeled with the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation. We find novel stable soliton pairs and trains, which are relevant in this case, and analyze them. We suggest that the distance between the pulses and the phase difference between them is defined by energy and momentum balance equations, rather than by equations of standard perturbation theory. We pres...
