Dispersion management is becoming paramount in high-speed wavelength-division-
multiplexed lightwave systems, that operate at per-channel rates of 40 Gb/s and higher. The …

The birefringence of an optical fiber resulting from an asymmetry of the index profile is
numerically evaluated using a finite-element method with a full-vectorial formulation. Such …

We present a simple variational method for the analysis of UV-side-illuminated single-mode
fibers. We use a shiftable, two-dimensional elliptical Gaussian function as a field trial for the …

Due to the lateral inscription process, photo-induced birefringence is present in fiber Bragg
gratings (FBGs) written into photosensitive single mode fiber. The birefringence value is …

We inscribed long-period gratings in a hydrogenated single-mode fiber (SMF-28) by high-
intensity femtosecond near-ultraviolet pulses via a three-photon absorption mechanism. Due …

In this paper, we completely study the wavelength dependency of differential group delay
(DGD) in uniform fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) exhibiting birefringence. An analytical …

In this paper, we report an experimental and numerical analysis of ultrahigh-speed coherent
Nyquist pulse transmission. First, we describe a low-nonlinearity dispersion compensator for …

We discuss the effect of UV laser exposure time, repetition rate, and heating by a heating
coil on the resonance peak depth and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) of long-period …

The ultraviolet-induced polarization-mode dispersion and polarization-dependent loss of
fiber Bragg gratings in single-mode fibers (SMF-28) are characterized in a real-time and in …
