This is because of the reduction of the minimal distance between two points of the constellation, which reduces the resilience...

SE is defined as the information capacity of a single channel (in bit/s) divided by the frequency spacing Δf (in...

This corresponds to the dependence of the insertion loss of passive components to the signal state of polarization (SOP).

The signal transmission quality is not stable over a long period of time because of the polarization effects occurring along...

The optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) is the device typically used to measure OSNR. Signal and noise measurements are made over...

Active sources such as optical plugs, lasers, receivers, and amplifiers generate noise in the fiber link.

Compared with requirements for EDFAs for terrestrial applications and for Submarine applications, there are major important differences making the two...
