  • We propose a dispersion-managed link with a non-midway optical phase conjugator (OPC), in which the residual dispersion per span (RDPS) of each fiber span is different for each transmission section before and after OPC. We numerically demonstrate the compensation for 960-Gb/s wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) signals distorted by chromatic dispersion and Kerr nonlinearity of the fiber. We consider different cases for non-midway OPC, including six fiber spans - OPC - 14 fiber spans and 14 fiber spans - OPC - 6 fiber spans. The numerical results show that the compensation of the distorted 960 Gb/s WDM is more efficient when the OPC is placed after 6-th fiber span as compared to after the 14-th fiber span. Our simulation results also indicate that the compensation effect increases when the difference in net residual dispersion between both transmission sections is not large, but they are not the same. Under this condition, the larger the magnitude of the RDPSs of each fiber span, the greater the compensation.

  • Fabrication and electro-optic applications of glass optical fibers were reviewed. Theoretical description on the electro-optic Kerr effect in glass optical fibers, particularly for the second-order optical nonlinearity was given. Fabrication procedure and the characterization of the nonlinear electro-optic fibers with internal electrodes were described. Several electro-optic devices based on the polarimetric cells made by the nonlinear optical fibers with internal electrodes were also discussed with the experimental results on the electro-optic effect.

  • Nonlinear effects and chromatic dispersion are the main causes of pulse degradation in high bit-rate WDM transmission systems and several architectures have been proposed to compensate them by means of optical phase conjugation. In this paper, a new method to exploit an optical phase conjugator (OPC) for nonlinearity and dispersion cancellation is disclosed. The proposed method is using optimal total dispersion of each fiber sections and it is simpler than those previously described in literature. Power penalty between WDM channels and the maximum launch power in $28{\times}40$ Gbps WDM transmission system designed by optimal total dispersion are more decreased and more increased than those in the conventional WDM transmission system with OPC, respectively. Furthermore, optimal total dispersion proposed in this research should provide the flexible design of WDM system, which less depends on OPC position.

  • In this paper the neuron operation based on Brillouin-active fiber in optical fiber is described. The inherent optical feedback by the backscattered stokes wave in optical fiber leads to instabilities in the form of optical chaos. Controlling of chaos induced transient instability in Brillouin-active fiber is implemented with Kerr nonlinearity having a non-instantaneous response in network systems. The controlling chaotic instabilities can lead to multistable periodic states; create optical logic 'on' or high level '1' or 'off', or low level '0'. It is theoretically possible to apply the multi-stability regimes as an optical memory device for encoding and decoding series and complex data transmission in optical systems.

  • A new method is proposed for the analysis of optical properties of stationary transverse electirc (TE) nonlinear waves in the five-layer waveguide which consists of a linear guiding layer with two nonlinear bounding layers sandwiched between a semi-infinite clad and a substrate. By using the relation of the interface electric fields, we obtain the generalized form of nonlinear dispersion equations as an analytic and flexible form. In order to verify the dispersion equation, we apply the dispersion equation to the analysis of the symmetric five-layer waveguide. The nonlinear dispersion curves for several thicknesses of the nonlinear thin film is also presented.

  • We report the theory of thin-sample Z -scan for materials, viz. diffusion-dominated photorefractives, having a nonlinearly induced phase that may be proportional to the spatial derivative of the intensity profile. The on-axis far-field intensity is approximately an even function of the scan distance on different positive and negative values for phase shift $\Delta$$\Phi$$_{o}$. In case of positive phase shift, the Z -scan graph shows a minimum and two maxima, while for the negative value, only one minimum is observed. The fact is that far-field beam profiles display beam distortion and shift of the peak as compared with Kerr-type or photovoltaic nonlinearities.s.

  • In this paper, the optimal value of optical phase conjugator (OPC) position and the optimal values of dispersion coefficients of fiber sections for the best compensation of the distorted WDM signals with frequency chirp of -1 are induced to alternate with the symmetrical distributions of power and local dispersion with respect to OPC, which is difficult to form in real optical link due to fiber attenuation in mid-span spectral inversion (MSSI) technique. It is confirmed that the Q-factors of total channels of -18.5 dBm launching light power exceed 16.9 dB, which value corresponds to 10-12 BER, by applying the induced optimal parameter values into 16 channels ${\times}$ 40 Gbps WDM system, on the other hand the Q-factors of only 9 channels exceed that value in WDM system with the conventional MSSI technique. Thus, it is expected to expand the availability of OPC in WDM system through the using of the optimal parameter values that are induced by the proposed method in this paper, without the symmetrical distributions of power and local dispersion.

  • The propagation of a truncated Airy beam with spatial phase modulation (SPM) is investigated in Kerr nonlinearity with an optical lattice. Before the truncated Airy beam enters the optical lattice, a sinusoidal phase is introduced on the wave-front of the beam. The effect of the spatial phase modulation and optical lattice on propagation behavior is analyzed by direct numerical simulation. It is found that the propagation direction of a truncated Airy beam can be effectively controlled by adjusting the values of phase shift. The effects of optical amplitude, truncation factor, spatial modulation frequency, lattice period and lattice depth on the propagation are discussed in detail. By choosing a high modulation depth, the finite-energy Airy beam can be deflected with a large deflection angle in an optical lattice.
