This paper presents a review of the latest research and development in the field of fibre optic communication system. Remarkable developments can be seen in the field of optical fibre communication in the last decade. Wide-bandwidth signal transmission with low latency is emerging as a key requirement in a number of applications, including the development of future exaflopscale supercomputers, ...

We used a spatially broadband optical parametric amplifier for image amplification. In the phasesensitive configuration of the amplifier, we observed noiseless amplification of input images. For a gain of 2.5, we measured noise-figure values of (0.2 6 0.6) and (0.4 6 0.5) dB, respectively, for two amplifiers of different lengths. These experimental values agree with theory (for an ideal noisele...

We report on all-optical 1310 to 1550 nm wavelength conversion and NRZ-to-RZ data format conversion based on nonlinear polarization rotation in a single semiconductor optical amplifier. Introduction Undoubtedly, the 1310 nm transmission window is experiencing renewed interest. Multi-Gbit/s 1310 nm transmission technology is employed in access and metro networks [1-2]. The long-haul core network...

It is becoming increasingly vital to monitor telecommunication links during operation and installation process. By using a high peak power source and the optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) technique operating at the wavelength region of 1.6μm, it is possible to monitor conventional C-band Erbium-doped fibre amplifier (EDFA) systems whilst transmitting data, and to characterise losses at t...

E and EC Department, PEC University of Technology Sector 12, Chandigarh, India __________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: In this paper we have discussed the importance of YDFA and obtained optimized Gain and maintained Noise Figure in single stage and double stage YDFA (Ytterbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) with the help of simulation models...

We present a 1 2 all-optical packet switch. All the processing of the header information is carried out in the optical domain. The optical headers are recognized by employing the two-pulse correlation principle in a semiconductor laser amplifier in loop optical mirror (SLALOM) configuration. The processed header information is stored in an optical flip-flop memory that is based on a symmetric c...

Digitized-Radio over Fibre (DRoF) techniques provide higher dynamic range and are more robust against optical link impairments. In this paper, a fully-photonic DRoF system is proposed and its performance is investigated in an integrated system with an analogue Radio over Fibre (ARoF) system. In this simulation based evaluation, DRoF and ARoF systems performance in the presence of other channels...

In this paper, a fibre laser at 546 nm has been studied for a signal power of -30 dB. Er-doped ZBLAN fibre has been used by upconversion pumping of a 980 nm laser diode. Gain saturation effect has been investigated in detail. Laser performance has also been discussed. An efficiency of 35% has been calculated with a length of 5 mm fibre laser. Results show that Er-doped ZBLAN is a promising cand...
