1 Tb/s·km WDM transmission over multimode fibre link
2008
We demonstrate 1 Tb/smiddotkm WDM error-free transmission (highest reported value to our knowledge) over a MMF link by a combination of low-linewidth lasers and central launch.
Limits of ultra-high bit rate RZ data transmissions in terrestrial optical fiber systems
2006
We numerically study the limits of the terrestrial optical fiber systems as a function of the bit rate. In particular, we compare for 160-, 320- and 640-Gbit/s the limits of single channel and WDM configurations.
Analytical design of dispersion-managed fiber system with map strength 1.65
2003
Abstract We present an easy analytical method for designing dispersion-managed fiber systems with map strength of 1.65, where the transmission lines have minimal pulse–pulse interactions.
Theory of Raman effect on solitons in optical fibre systems: impact and control processes for high-speed long-distance transmission lines
2004
We examine the effects of stimulated Raman scattering on ultra-short pulses propagating in optical fibre systems. We demonstrate that the existing theories for the Raman-induced soliton self-frequency shift give consistent results in a restricted domain of pulse width which excludes important practical applications to high-speed soliton transmission systems. We present a general theory for the soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS), which applies to any pulse whose spectral bandwidth lies within the third-order telecommunication window. We also show that the harmful impact of the SSFS in high-speed long-distance transmission lines can be suppressed by use of filters whose central frequency is …
The nonlinear optical loop mirror: soliton and noise-like pulse emission in a figure-eight fiber laser
2021
In this article, a symmetrical nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) exhibiting a polarization-dependent transmission is evaluated to generate optical pulse emission in a figure-eight fiber laser in the soliton and noise-like pulse (NLP) regimes. The NOLM structure relies on a 50:50 fiber coupler, a loop with highly twisted single-mode optical fiber and a quarter-wave retarder (QWR) to break the polarization asymmetry. The pulse operation regime is determined by properly adjusting the NOLM low-power transmission, which is easily realized by the rotation of the QWR angle. Soliton pulses of 1.48 ps pulse duration and peak power of 18 W were observed with a peak to peak separation of 1.25 µs, c…
Optimization of wavelength division multiplexing in N×160Gbit/s terrestrial transmission systems
2005
Abstract We analyze, from an engineering viewpoint, the prospects of an exploitable upgrade of terrestrial fiber systems based on standard monomode fiber and dispersion compensating units, for future N × 160 Gbit/s transmission systems. We show that dispersion swing, average dispersion and input pulse power are the key parameters that govern the system performances. We show that whenever the dispersion swing is arranged in a symmetrical setup and the compensation ratio is optimized accordingly, one may obtain a significant improvement of the transmission performances.
Dissipative rogue waves out of fiber lasers
2012
We study rogue waves in dissipative systems such as unidirectional fiber laser. We have found that the probability of producing extreme pulses in this setup is higher than in any other system considered so far.
Diffusion of neutrons by a slab of moderating material: an application of the Monte Carlo Method
2004
An application of the Monte Carlo method to the diffusion of neutrons passing through a slab of a moderating material is presented. This method can be used as a tool to improve the student's comprehension of the statistical properties of many particle systems, showing the necessity of simulation procedures to obtain information on the expected results of real experiments. We have chosen a very simple example to illustrate it: the evaluation of the transmission, reflection and absorption probabilities of a monochromatic beam of neutrons diffusing through a slab of a moderator material. After a collision with a nucleus of the moderator the neutron may be either elastically scattered or captur…
Photoelectric effect from a metal surface: a revisited theoretical model
1992
The Sommerfeld model extended to include radiation–electron interaction in the regime of highly intense fields is taken as the basis for studying theoretically the laser multiphoton photoelectric effect from a metal surface. Numerical analysis is carried out without approximations other than those inherent in the model itself; the study of the multiphoton aspect of the problem is based on a scheme that is nonperturbative in an essential way. The numerical analysis facilitates insight into the potential and the limits of the model in the interpretation of recent experiments and into the similarities and differences between the metal multiphoton effect and atomic multiphoton ionization. The r…
Unguided plasmon-mode resonance in optically excited thin film: exact modal description of Kretschmann–Raether experiment
2013
With the aim of studying electromagnetic surface wave resonance, we rigorously solve the homogeneous and inhomogeneous problem associated with an optically excited thin metallic film. We then demonstrate unambiguously that the excited eigenmode engendering plasmonic resonance in the so-called Kretschmann–Raether configuration is an unguided mode (i.e., with an anti-evanescent structure). This result, challenging the classical interpretation of the outgoing wave condition applied to surface waves, permits a quantitative interpretation of the attenuated total reflection curves.
