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 …

In practice, fiber optical parametric amplifiers are generally driven by a phase-modulated
pump wave to avoid stimulated Brillouin back-scattering. We show both analytically and …

This paper reports the main results obtained in the framework of the COST239 project on the
implementation of transparent optical network schemes to connect main European cities …

Duobinary signaling is combined with a proposed electrical pre-equalization scheme to
extend the reach of 10-Gb/s signals that are transmitted over standard single-mode fiber …

We overview recent progress in dispersion-managed (DM) fiber optic communications.
Wavelength-division-multiplexing transmission of a DM soliton (or more general return-to …

We present a comprehensive path-average theory of dispersion-managed (DM) optical
pulse. Applying complete basis of the chirped Gauss-Hermite orthogonal functions, we …

By placing the dispersion compensating fibre (DCF) first within each amplified span of a 10
Gbit/s standard fibre (SMF) dispersion-managed link the authors show, by numerical …

We report a numerical study on the deterioration of eye opening penalty (EOP) and bit error
rate (BER) of the received message from a communication system based on chaos …

The role of Q-factor and of time jitter in the evaluation of the system performance has been
investigated for return-to-zero (RZ) optically amplified links. We show that, also if the …

We analyze different schemes of the dispersion management using a variational approach
developed in our previous works. We demonstrate how to exploit this variational method to …
