TL;DR: In this paper, a general theory of polarization and spatial information recovery by modal dispersal and phase conjugation is presented by means of a coherency matrix formalism, applied to a system that consists of a multimode modal-scrambling fiber terminated by a conventional phase-conjugate mirror that reflects only one polarization component.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate simultaneous stimulated Brillouin scattering suppression, coherent power combining, and electronic beam steering, without imposing strict path-length matching requirements, using a rapidly-chirped $(5\times 10^{14}~{\rm Hz}/{\rm s})$ continuous-wave optoelectronic swept-frequency seed laser and two 3 W erbium-doped fiber amplifiers.

TL;DR: In this article, a random-matrix formalism was developed to enable analysis of a variety of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) related problems, such as higher order error in a discrete fiber model and limit of multistaged PMD compensation schemes.

TL;DR: In this article, the mediating region of an optical waveguide has at least two coupling regions (i.e., coupling region (i) couples an output mode and mediating mode, and second region (ii) couples mediating and an input mode that copropagates with the output mode).

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that (Al,Ga)As single quantum well (SQW) lasers have substantially narrower spectral linewidths than bulk double-heterostructure lasers.
