TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method based on a spectral analysis of modulation instability occurring in both normal and anomalous dispersion regime and the associated dispersive waves emitted by soliton fission.
Abstract: We describe a novel convenient technique to allow for the accurate measurement of the dispersion coefficients till fourth-order in the zero-dispersion wavelength region of single-mode optical fibers. The proposed method is based on a careful spectral analysis of modulation instability occurring in both normal and anomalous dispersion regime and the associated dispersive waves emitted by soliton fission. It simply requires a high-power tunable continuous-wave fiber laser and an optical spectrum analyzer and is able to retrieve both the sign and magnitude of dispersion coefficients with enhanced precision

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the test results of a prototype roundtrip phase stabilizer for the photonic local system, where two coherent optical signals are transmitted and converted into a millimeter-wave signal by a photomixer in the antenna.
Abstract: Highly stable millimeter-wave signal distribution technique is required for a recent radio interferometry. In the photonic local system, two coherent optical signals are transmitted and converted into a millimeter-wave signal by a photomixer in the antenna. During the signal transmission through the fiber cable, the cable length delay fluctuation is caused together with polarization mode dispersion, which will impact the performance of coherent signal distribution. In this paper, we present the test results of a prototype roundtrip phase stabilizer.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and an optical transmission system for compensation of dispersion in optical transmission lines in which dispersion compensation fibers are applied, with the dispersion compensated fibers being arranged at the beginning as well as at the end of the line segments of the optical fibers forming the transmission line.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an optical transmission system for compensation of dispersion in optical transmission lines in which dispersion compensation fibers are applied, with the dispersion compensation fibers being arranged at the beginning as well as at the end of the line segments of the optical fibers forming the transmission line. The signal distortions due to non-linear effects are reduced by making use of the recognition that non-linearities should only occur at as small as possible an accumulated dispersion. This is obtained by an unequal division of the dispersion compensation fiber applied for the compensation of the dispersion of the optical fiber, with the part of the dispersion compensation fiber attached at the beginning of a line segment being directly connected to the optical fiber and having an accumulated dispersion which is smaller as to amount than the accumulated dispersion of the part of the dispersion compensation fiber attached at the end of the optical fiber.
