The power consumption of coherent fiber-optical communication systems is becoming increasingly important, for both environmental and economical reasons. The data traffic on the Internet is increasing at a faster pace than that at which optical network equipment is becoming more energy efficient, which means that the overall power consumption of the Internet is increasing. In addition, wasted en...

The aim of this paper is to fully analyze the effects of free space optical (FSO) communication links on the estimation performance of the adaptive incremental networks. The FSO links in this paper are described with two turbulence models namely the Log-normal and Gamma-Gamma distributions. In order to investigate the impact of these models we produced the link coefficients using these distribu...

A photonic crystal-based TE to TM polarization converter for integrated optical communication is proposed in this paper. The photonic crystal consists of air circular-holes in slab waveguide. The radius of holes are determined to be 291nm having lattice constant of 640nm using the gap map and band diagram. The polarization converter is composed of an InGaAsP triangular-shaped waveguide on SiO2 ...

We describe a novel method for subpicosecond pulse shaping based on longitudinal spectral decomposition in dispersive media. The entire system is created with standard telecommunications equipment allowing for integration with optical communication networks. The technique has the potential for time–bandwidth products 104 due to exclusive reliance on time-domain processing. We introduce the prin...

The increased need for speed and precision in a variety of communication networks has spurred the quest to develop high-speed, high-capacity, packet-switched, all-optical fiber networks. Networks face bottlenecks, among them the slowness of electronic switches. In a project that started in 1994, Micron Optics, Inc., a small company from Atlanta, GA, was awarded funds by the Advanced Technology ...

The passive optical network WDM-PON is one of the most dominant performers of all communication systems, and provides sufficient broadband service. Providing enough data for the demands of today and the future, marks this area as a critical topic for researchers. The first goal of this article is to study the performance of OFDM in a bidirectional WDM-PON by using QAM and BPSK modulation method...

Worldwide collaborations involving huge data transfer over optical networks are forming at increasing pace. Such worldwide connections may traverse through multiple domains that are managed by different network administrators. Due to the absence of optical network equipment standardization between network administrators, technology incompatibilities may prevent direct communication between doma...

This paper review of the chromatic dispersion compensation in optical fiber communication system. In optical communication system to compensate dispersion Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is one amongst the applicable and necessary components. During this the appliance of chirped FBG was studied as a dispersion compensator in optical communication systems. This paper studied the various types of simul...
