2. 1. Generation and Applications of Picosecond Pulses in High-Capacity Fiber Optic Systems

   Author : Jie Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nonlinear distortion; optical pulse shaping; dispersion-management; eye-diagram; cross-phase modulation; optical sampling; optical fiber applications; multiplexing; parametric amplification; demultiplexing; optical pulses; fiber optical communication; nonlinear systems; time division multiplexing; four-wave mixing; polarization-mode dispersion; optical signal processing; fiber optical nonlinearities; fiber ring laser; soliton robustness; mode-locking; optical filters; networks;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with short optical pulse generation from actively mode-locked Erbium-doped fiber ring lasers (ML-EFRL) and their applications in all-optical signal processing (optical sampling and switching) and transmission experiments for high-capacity fiber optic systems. In future ultra-high bit-rate optical time division multiplexed (OTDM) systems, one of the key requirements is to develop reliable optical pulse sources that can generate high quality optical pulses.

4. 2. Optical Transmission Systems Based on Phase-Sensitive Amplifiers

   Author : Samuel L I Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; optical injection locking; fiber nonlinearities; optical fiber communication; fiber nonlinearity mitigation; four-wave mixing; fiber optic parametric amplification; low-noise amplification; phase-sensitive amplification; fibre optics;

   Abstract : The capacity and reach of today's long-haul fiber optical communication systems is limited by amplifier noise and fiber nonlinearities. Conventional, phase-insensitiveamplifiers (PIAs), have a quantum limited noise figure (NF) of 3 dB at high gain, meaning that with a shot-noise limited input signal the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)is degraded by at least 3 dB.

5. 3. Micromechanical Behavior of Fiber Networks

   Author : Svetlana Borodulina; Mikael Nygårds; Artem Kulachenko; Susanne Heyden; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Network simulation; Mechanical properties; Fibers; Bonds; Paper properties; Damage; Microfibril angle; Torsion;

   Abstract : Paper is used in a wide range of applications, each of which has specific requirements on mechanical and surface properties. The role of paper strength on paper performance is still not well understood. This work addresses the mechanical properties of paper by utilizing fiber network simulation and consists of two parts.

6. 4. Towards Practical Implementation of Phase-Sensitive Amplifier Based Transmission Systems

   Author : Samuel L I Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phase-sensitive amplification; four-wave mixing; nonlinear optical signal processing; optical injection locking; fiber nonlinearities; fiber optic parametric amplification;

   Abstract : All commercially available optical amplifiers are so-called phase-insensitive amplifiers (PIAs) which degrade the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) through the amplification process. This kind of amplifier has a quantum limited noise figure (NF) of 3 dB. READ MORE

7. 5. Multilevel Modulation and Transmission in VCSEL-based Short-range Fiber Optic Links

   Author : Tamas Lengyel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; IM DD; NRZ OOK; intensity modulation; 3-PAM; inter-symbol interference; Data communication; multimode fiber; vertical cavity surface emitting lasers; 4-PAM; optical interconnects; short-range fiber optic links;

   Abstract : As the demand for ever higher throughput short-range optical links is growing, research and industry associations have shown increased interest in multilevel modulation formats, such as the four leveled pulse amplitude modulation, referred to as 4-PAM. As on-off keying (OOK) persists to be the choice for low latency applications, for example high performance computing, datacenter operators see 4-PAM as the next format to succeed current OOK-based optical interconnects.
