Abstract:The introduction of high-speed services for fiber-optic access subscribers has led to a huge growth in data traffic. The rapid diversification of services means that next generation networks must be built quickly, economically and reliably.A high temperature laser allows us to eliminate the thermo-electric cooler conventionally needed in a transmitter module, which results in reductions in cost, power consumption and size. Moreover, a high-power laser provides a wide tolerance when coupling optical fibers. In … 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.
