Quantum communications is the art of exchanging and manipulating information beyond the
capabilities of the conventional technologies using the laws of quantum mechanics. With …

The combination of integrated optics technologies with nonlinear photonics, which has led to
growth of nonlinear integrated photonics, has also opened the way to groundbreaking new …

Harnessing the full complexity of optical fields requires the complete control of all degrees of
freedom within a region of space and time—an open goal for present-day spatial light …

Plasmonics provides a possible route to overcome both the speed limitations of electronics
and the critical dimensions of photonics. We present an all-plasmonic 116–gigabits per …

Optical signal processing brings together various fields of optics and signal processing-
namely, nonlinear devices and processes, analog and digital signals, and advanced data …

Lithium niobate (LN), spurred by its success for fiber-optic communications, has remained
the material of choice for high-performance electrooptic (EO) modulators. The past decade …

With the growth of traffic volume and the emergence of various new applications, future
telecom networks are expected to be increasingly heterogeneous with respect to …

We demonstrate optical performance monitoring of in-band optical signal to noise ratio
(OSNR) and residual dispersion, at bit rates of 40Gb/s, 160Gb/s and 640Gb/s, using slow …

This tutorial highlights challenges and opportunities in achieving efficient flexible optical
networks. Optical signal processing may potentially increase network flexibility because of …

Today's optical networks function are in a fairly static fashion and are built to operate within
well-defined specifications. This scenario is quite challenging for next generation high …
