This book provides a comprehensive account of fiber-optic communication systems. The 3rd
edition of this book is used worldwide as a textbook in many universities. This 4th edition …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides a taxonomy of optical modulation formats along
with experimental techniques for realizing them. High-speed optical transmission systems …

Advanced optical modulation formats have become a key ingredient to the design of modern
wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optically routed networks. In this paper, we review …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses ultra-high-speed data transmission in optical
fibers based on optical multiplexing (OTDM) technology, giving a general description of an …

Clock recovery is a fundamental operation in digital telecommunications systems, where the
receiver synchronizes itself to the transmitter timing. In optical clock recovery, this operation …

We review recent research related to polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in fiber-optic
transmission systems operating at 40 Gb/s and above. We investigate the benefits of using …

We demonstrate the characterization of optical sources with high sensitivity, high temporal
resolution, and phase sensitivity using linear optical sampling. Eye diagrams and …

We present ultrafast slotted optical time-division multiplexed networks as a viable means of
implementing a highly capable next-generation all-optical packet-switched network. Such a …

We propose and demonstrate a novel technique for 40-and 10-Gb/s chromatic dispersion
monitoring that uses an optical filter to select the upper and lower vestigial-sideband (VSB) …

The field of high-speed measurements for optical telecommunication systems is reviewed.
An emphasis is placed on diagnostics evaluating the temporal electric field of light, ie …
