Different from traditional cavity-based fiber lasers, well-defined resonant cavities are
replaced by random feedback mechanisms for lasing generation in random fiber lasers …

This report presents a comprehensive approach to dispersion management, including
various techniques, mathematical analysis, and their advantages and disadvantages in …

We demonstrate that a distributed Raman amplification scheme based on random
distributed feedback (DFB) fiber laser enables bidirectional second-order Raman pum** …

Achievable information rates of optical communication systems are inherently limited by
nonlinear distortions due to the Kerr effect occurred in optical fibres. These nonlinear …

In this paper, we review different designs of distributed Raman amplifiers which have been
proposed to minimize the signal power profile asymmetry in mid-link optical phase …

We perform a full numerical characterisation of half-open cavity random DFB Raman fibre
laser amplifier schemes for WDM transmission in terms of signal power variation, noise and …

We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, a significant 34-dB nonlinear product
power compensation in a mid-link optical phase conjugation (OPC) system using an …

We develop a novel broadband first-order Raman pump for use as a forward pump in
transmission experiments. Our results show significant signal relative intensity noise (RIN) …

Digital nonlinearity compensation (NLC) schemes such as digital backpropagation and
Volterra equalization are well known to be effective techniques in mitigating optical fiber …

Relative intensity noise transfer from the pump to the signal in 2nd-order ultra-long Raman
laser amplifiers for telecommunications is characterized numerically and experimentally. Our …
