TL;DR: An all-fiber approach to generate triangular-shaped pulses based on frequency-to-time conversion is proposed and demonstrated and can be tuned by adjusting the modulation rate and the dispersion value, respectively.

TL;DR: This work proposes and experimentally demonstrates a scheme for pseudo-PDM of four states (PPDM-4) by manipulation of four linearly polarized data channels with the same wavelength, which is expected to open new possibilities to fully explore the use of polarization freedom for capacity and SE improvement over existing fiber systems.

TL;DR: Results over back-to-back transmission show that 100% identification accuracy of all these four modulation formats are achieved at the OSNR values lower or equal to their respective 7% forward error correction (FEC) thresholds.

TL;DR: In this article, a blind modulation format identification method was proposed by applying fast density-peak-based pattern recognition in the autonomous receiver of elastic optical networks, which is insensitive to carrier phase noise, frequency offset as well as polarization mixing.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple demodulation method for a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) temperature sensor is proposed and demonstrated, which uses a low cost commercial temperature-controlled wavelength scanning distributedfeedback (DFB) laser, a sensing FBG and a low speed photodetector (PD).
