Most of the digital data transmitted are carried by optical fibres, forming the great part of the national and international communication infrastructure. The information-carrying capacity of these networks has increased vastly over the past decades through the introduction of wavelength division multiplexing, advanced modulation formats, digital signal processing and improved optical fibre and...

Mass deployment of fibre access networks is without doubt one of the goals of many network operators around the globe. The Passive Optical Network has been proposed as a solution to help deliver mass deployment of fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), by reducing the cost per customer compared to current commercially available technologies. A major failure in the access network (e.g., fibre cut, amplifier ...

We demonstrate a highly practical and robust soliton transmission system with partial dispersion compensation. Error free transmission was obtained for 10 Gb/s &ta over 1000 km of standard fibre with nominal dispersion of 17 ps/nrm km. Despite variations in the dispersion compensation ratio and the relatively high UV-induced birefiingence of the fibre gratings the system exhibits BERs below lo”...

Introduction: All-optical wavelength converters (AOWC) are envisioned to be part of future high-speed networks. In particular, they might replace optical-to-electrical-to-optical (OEO) wavelength translator units in optical crossconnects [1]. However, to be practical, AOWCs must be able to convert signals that have been degraded during transmission over reasonable distances. Tolerance to timing...
