A direct assessment of the performance of pulse shaping superstructured fiber gratings using an optical sampling oscilloscope
Francesca Parmigiani,Periklis Petropoulos,P.J. Almeida,Morten Ibsen,Ju Han Lee,David J. Richardson +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an optical sampling oscilloscope is used to characterize short pulses which have been shaped using superstructured FBGs, and the performance of square-pulse generating and pulse-multiplying gratings are examined directly in real time, with a resolution of 2ps, excellent pulse quality is confirmed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Efficient all-optical wavelength converter using saw-tooth pulses
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the use of pulse shaping of the signal to be converted into a saw-tooth waveform (i.e., a pulse with leading/trailing edges of a constant intensity gradient), to improve the performance of the converted signal.
Book ChapterDOI
Experiments on Long-Haul High-Capacity Transmission Systems
Gabriella Bosco,Francesco Matera,Karin Ennser,Morten Ibsen,Lucia Marazzi,Francesca Parmigiani,Periklis Petropoulos,Pierluigi Poggiolini,Marco Tabacchiera,M. Zannin +9 more
TL;DR: The search for the maximum bit rate × distance was based on the principle of infinite bandwidth of the optical fiber that let us to imagine transmission of enormous capacities over transoceanic distances as discussed by the authors.

All-optical TDM data demultiplexing based on a highly nonlinear fiber kerr gate using a linearly chirped rectangular control pulse
P.J. Almeida,Ju Han Lee,Morten Ibsen,Periklis Petropoulos,Benn C. Thomsen,P.C. Teh,Francesca Parmigiani,David J. Richardson +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an OTDM demultiplexer based on a fiber Kerr gate was proposed, which uses a linearly chirped rectangular control pulse generated by shaping a spectrally broadened pulse with a fiber Bragg grating.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Potential and practical implementations of phase sensitive amplifiers for all-optical signal regeneration
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase-squeezing capability of phase sensitive amplifiers (PSAs) is exploited to perform simultaneous amplitude regeneration in the saturation regime of phase-shift keying signals.
