Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of cw Raman oscillation in optical fibers
John C. AuYeung,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory for Raman fiber laser oscillators is presented and the Stokes output and residual pump power are derived from a knowledge of the input pump power and the fiber characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Representation of second-order polarisation mode dispersion
TL;DR: In this article, a new expansion for the Jones matrix of a transmission medium is used to describe high-order polarisation dispersion, and a new expression for pulse deformation is derived and confirmed by simulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time interleaved optical sampling for ultra-high speed A/D conversion
Amnon Yariv,R.G.M.P. Koumans +1 more
TL;DR: A scheme is proposed for increasing the sampling rate of analogue-to-digital conversion by more than an order of magnitude by combining state-of-the-art A/D converters with photonic technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Giant fiber lasers: a new paradigm for secure key distribution
Jacob Scheuer,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: By properly designing the laser structure, it is possible to increase the difficulty of eavesdropping almost arbitrarily, thus making the scheme an intriguing alternative and a complementary technology to quantum key-distribution systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of photonic crystal optical waveguides with singlemode propagation in the photonic bandgap
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for designing dielectric-core photonic crystal optical waveguides that support only one mode in the photonic bandgap (PBG).
