In this paper, we employ measurements of transponder tolerance to both differential group delay (DGD) and second-order polarization mode dispersion (SOPMD) and of the temporal evolution of DGD and SOPMD in installed transmission systems to predict th

We propose a standardization procedure that provides a convenient, quantitative and reproducible laboratory-based method for measuring the state of polarization (SOP) fluctuations produced by polarization varying devices. This method is based on the

Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) single-crystal fibers of nominal composition Y 3 Fe 5 O 12 were grown by the laser-heated pedestal growth technique, a miniaturized float-zone process. YIG fibers in diameters ranging from 100 to 740 μm were grown at variou

The peak reflectance wavelengths of gratings with reflectance maxima separated by less than 2 nm can be accurately determined through a demultiplexing method based on Hilbert transforms of interferograms. We demonstrate a wavelength demultiplexing of

As an alternative to bulk transducers, iron garnet films offer cost, fabrication, and performance advantages. Though films can be used in polarimetric systems, a simpler approach exploits the diffraction arising from serpentine domains in thin films.

A programmable polarization-mode-dispersion (PMD) source is demonstrated. The PMD source is calibrated and exhibits predictable, repeatable, and programmable performance. Such a source can be used to test for PMD impairments of optical links.

A programmable polarization-mode-dispersion (PMD) source is used to measure receiver performance in the presence of first- and second-order PMD. Combined with scalable joint probability-distribution functions of PMD statistics, total outage probabili

We show theoretically that the response functions of a lossless Sagnac optical fiber current sensor based on a 3/spl times/3 coupler fundamentally depend on the polarization state of light entering the coupler even for systems with no linear birefrin

We show that the dispersion of multiple fiber Bragg gratings can be obtained from a single low-coherence interferometric measurement. The individual gratings can be identified either from the spatial separation of the interferometric signatures or fr

Single-polarization interferometric measurements of intensity-induced refractive index changes using an intensity-modulated mode-locked laser are reported. The technique is used to determine the electronic and thermal intensity-dependent index change
