Distributed Amplification with Dispersion Management for Fiber-Optic Communication Systems

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This proposal is focused on the potential of distributed amplification with dispersion management for high speed OTDM links. Extensive theoretical and experimental work is to be performed to understand the role of noise, dispersion, nonlinearity and finite bandwidth in a distributed amplification link, leading to guidelines for the design of high-speed links of 100 Gbit/s. The research collaboration with Corning, the leading manufacturer of optical fibers, fits well within the scope of the GOALI program. Expertise in Corning to provide the specialty fibers to carry out the experimental part of the work will add tremendous value to the work, indicating its potential high impact to industry.
