Lightwave communications is a necessity for the information age. Optical links provide
enormous bandwidth, and the optical fiber is the only medium that can meet the modern …

The unique material properties of GaN, wide bandgap, high thermal conductivity, high
breakdown voltage, high electron mobility and the device properties of GaN HEMT (High …

Different aspects of probabilistic sha** for a multispan optical communication system are
studied. First, a numerical analysis of the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel …

We review margins used in optical networks and review a formerly proposed margin
taxonomy. For each category of margins, we review techniques that the network designer …

Machine learning techniques relevant for nonlinearity mitigation, carrier recovery, and
nanoscale device characterization are reviewed and employed. Markov Chain Monte Carlo …

A Gaussian noise (GN) model, precisely accounting for an arbitrary frequency dependent
signal power profile along the link, is presented. This allows accurate evaluation of the …

In this paper, we review the historical evolution of predictions of the performance of optical
communication systems. We will describe how such predictions were made from the outset …

The impact of interchannel stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) on optimization of channel
powers to maximize the minimum channel margin is examined using a discrete Gaussian …

In this paper, probabilistic sha** is numerically and experimentally investigated for
increasing the transmission reach of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical …

The last few years have seen a wealth of new nonlinear propagation modeling results
appear in the literature, especially regarding coherent systems operating in the absence of …
