Using coupled mode theory, we have studied the output intensity profile of Cerenkov second-harmonic radiation from planar waveguides as a function of the propagation distance. In particular, we have obtained the variation ...

We report the characterization and theoretical simulation of long period gratings fabricated using electric arc discharge in two different fibers namely, SMF-28 (Δ=0.0036) and DSF (Δ=0.009). We show that this technique can ...

It is proposed that the high dispersion at the transmission band edges of uniform long period gratings (LPG) fabricated on relatively high Δ fibers can be used for efficient dispersion compensation. Since the transmission ...

After a brief presentation of many possible solutions usable to control or compensate the chromatic dispersion of optical links, we report the simulation, realization, and characterization of a dual asymmetric core dispersion ...

In this letter, we investigate and compare theoretically the performance of an optimized L-band erbium doped fiber amplifier when an L-band erbium doped fiber (EDF) or an optimized C-band EDF, is used separately as an ASE ...

In this paper, we propose a novel coaxial dual-core erbium doped fiber profile characterized by an intrinsically flat gain spectrum. It is shown that by doping only the outer core, it is possible to achieve gain flattening ...

The authors show that starting from the appropriate linear combinations of LP modes, the weakly guiding approximation of the hybrid modes can be easily obtained without any reference to the rigorous vector modes. The ...

A new empirical relation is proposed describing spectral variation of mode-field radius MFR as inferred from measurements in the far-field of the fiber. It is shown that using this relation, it is possible to estimate the ...

By incorporating an isolator at an appropriate location, it is shown that it is possible to realize an efficient single-pass superfluorescent-doped fiber source with a major fraction of its emitted power in the forward ...

We propose a new class of segmented waveguides, namely gain-guided periodic segmented waveguides (CC-PSW), in which the guidance is brought about by a periodic linear array of gain guiding regions embedded in a homogeneous ...
