Journal ArticleDOI
Solution-doping technique for fabrication of rare-earth-doped optical fibres
TL;DR: In this article, a solution-doping technique for the reproducible fabrication of low-loss optical fibres containing up to 4000 parts in 106 rare-earth ions is described.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Highly programmable wavelength selective switch based on liquid crystal on silicon switching elements
Glenn Baxter,Steven James Frisken,Dmitri Abakoumov,Hao Zhou,Ian Clarke,A. Bartos,Simon Poole +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a novel wavelength selective switch (WSS) based on a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) switching element is presented, which operates simultaneously at both 50 and 100 GHz channel spacing and is compatible with 40 G transmission requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of low-loss optical fibres containing rare-earth ions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an extended MCVD process to produce rare-earth ion fibers with very high absorption levels in the visible and near infra-red regions, without significantly compromising the low-loss characteristics of the fiber at wavelengths between 950 and 1400 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dispersion Trimming in a Reconfigurable Wavelength Selective Switch
Michael A. F. Roelens,Steven James Frisken,Jeremy Bolger,Dmitri Abakoumov,Glenn Baxter,Simon Poole,Benjamin J. Eggleton +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the phase front of the optical signal inside the wavelength selective switch is adjusted to compensate for various amounts of dispersion (up to ± 60 ps/nm), tunable for each wavelength division multiplexed channel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neodymium-doped silica single-mode fibre lasers
TL;DR: In this paper, the first CW operation of a neodymium-doped silica single-mode fiber laser pumped by a GaAIAs laser diode has been reported, with a laser threshold of less than 1 mW.
