Abstract:Recent advances in optical fibre technology, most notably in the area of microstructured optical fibres (MOFs), offer a host of new opportunities within future high speed communication systems. Herein we review how our recent progress on the implementation of lead silicate fibre designs, allowing both flexible dispersion control and a high effective nonlinearity, can be integrated into various all-optical signal processing devices for high speed optical communication systems. Highly nonlinear lead silicate fib… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
