In this paper, we present a detailed experimental and theoretical study, showing that a novel nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber with negative dispersion enhances the capabilities of metropolitan area optical systems, while at the same time, reducing the system cost by eliminating the need of dispersion compensation. The performance of this dispersion-optimized fiber was studied using different t...

Dispersion-managed optical transmission lines, with dispersion periodically switched between the normal and anomalous regimes, offer significantly better performance than transmission lines with constant dispersion by reducing the dispersion penalty and spectral broadening owing to self-phase modulation. We analyze the evolution of plane waves in a dispersion-managed transmission line, using Fl...

We calculate the critical exponent of nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations with anisotropic negative fourth-order dispersion using an anisotropic Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality. We also prove global existence, and in some cases uniqueness, for subcritical solutions and for critical solutions with small L2 norm, without making use of Strichartz-type estimates for the linear operator. At exponen...

We analyze the influence of spectrally modulated dispersion and loss on the stability of mode-locked oscillators. In the negative dispersion regime, a soliton oscillator can be stabilized in a close proximity to zero-dispersion wavelength, when spectral modulation of dispersion and loss are strong and weak, respectively. If the dispersion is close to zero but positive, we observe chaotic mode-l...

Return-to-zero differential phase shift keying (RZ-DPSK) is a promising modulation format for the long-haul large capacity optical fibre transmission system, and it demonstrated a superior performance compared to the conventional intensity-modulation direct-detection (IM-DD) system experimentally (Cai et al., 2006; Inoue et al., 2004; Rasmussen et al., 2004). For the IM-DD based long-haul syste...

A wideband chirped fiber Bragg grating (FBG) dispersion compensator operating in C band is designed theoretically by numerically solving the coupled mode equations. The power reflectivity spectrum and dispersion characteristics of the chirped fiber Bragg gratings are analysed. In order to achieve wideband dispersion compensation with a low insertion loss, grating length, average refractive inde...

A highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber with eight ring octagonal structure is proposed. Chalcogenide glass of As2S3 is used as the material for this photonic crystal fiber structure. The finiteelement method with perfectly matched boundary layer is employed to analyze the guiding properties. Non linearity of 13,584.5 per W-km is obtained at 1.55 μm with reasonable flattened dispersion of -25...

This paper represents the comparison between Negative Binomial Regression model and Generalized Poisson Regression model for over-dispersion count data. For this comparison, we used BDHS 2007 data in where the response variable is the total children ever born which is a count data. When the response variable is count, then Poisson Regression Model as a Generalized Linear Model is widely and pop...

Metamaterials are effectively homogeneous materials that display extraordinary dispersion. Negative index metamaterials, zero index metamaterials and extremely anisotropic metamaterials are just a few examples. Instead of using locally resonating elements that may cause undesirable absorption, there are huge efforts to seek alternative routes to obtain these unusual properties. Here, we demonst...
