Chirped fiber Bragg gratings are used as low-loss, dispersion compensation modules for telecommunications applications. Here we use them to make an optical processor that compresses the bandwidth of electronic signals before digitization by an analog-to-digital converter. ©2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (230.0250) Optoelectronics, (060.2360) Fiber optics and optical communications ...

A novel optical fiber [comblike dispersion-profiled fiber (CDPF)] that consists of a chain of alternating segments of standard telecommunication fiber and dispersion-shifted fiber is proposed for the generation of a soliton pulse train based on nonlinear transformation of an optical beat signal. A totally integrated all-optical fiber source of a 59.1-GHz train of 2.2-ps solitons is demonstrated...

In this paper, we investigate the potential of various large mode area bers under thermal load, that is the state-of-the-art air-silica large pitch bers, as well as the recently devised symmetry-reduced photonic crystal ber and aperiodic all-solid by carefully considering the degrees of freedom o ered all along the ber fabrication. This work aims to discuss the mode ltering ability of these str...

The goal of an optical fiber communication system is to transmit the maximum number of bits per second over the maximum possible distance with the fewest errors. Single mode optical fibers have already been one of the major transmission media for long distance telecommunication, with very low-losses and widebandwidth. The most important properties that affect system performance are fiber attenu...

Optical fiber communication has brought us a new Internet society. In Japan, FTTH (Fiber to the Home) networks, in which optical fibers are installed directly to users’ homes, have been so popular that the number of contractors for FTTH service has exceeded fifteen millions as of May 2010. “Optical fiber,” “light source,” and “photo detector” are said to be three key elements of optical fiber c...

Optical communication technology has been developed rapidly to achieve larger transmission capacity and longer transmission distance. In this paper we demonstrated optical time division multiplexing extended reach 10 Gb/s passive optical network (PON) architecture of 100 km length with 1:128 split ratio. The 100 km system is enabled by the use of corning nexcore fiber and corning SMF-28 fiber w...

This paper review of the chromatic dispersion compensation in optical fiber communication system. In optical communication system to compensate dispersion Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is one amongst the applicable and necessary components. During this the appliance of chirped FBG was studied as a dispersion compensator in optical communication systems. This paper studied the various types of simul...

We perform 3D cross-correlation measurements of the optical field distribution resulting from an ultrashort pulse propagating in 6 meters of multimode fiber. Spatial amplitude and phase distributions of the optical field at the output of the fiber are measured using a time-gated spatial heterodyne interferometer as a function of time delay between the signal and the reference optical fields. We...
