Download or read book Technical Digest Symposium on Optical Fiber Measurements written by P. A. Williams and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digest of the Symposium on Optical Fiber Measurements sponsored by NIST and the IEEE. Includes 44 papers, with strong international participation. The majority of papers are on dispersion, components and nonlinear optics. Dispersion is the largest category, containing 2 sessions of polarization-mode dispersion, a session of chromatic dispersion and a session for group-delay measurements on fiber Bragg gratings. Component papers include grating metrology as well as receiver and amplifier characterization. Nonlinear measurements fill 2 sessions with measurements of nonlinear coefficient and effective area. A full session of papers relates to novel (engineered) fibers).
