We have proposed a novel higher-order-mode dispersion compensating technique based on a hollow optical fiber mode converter. The mode converter shows the efficiency of more than 87% in conversion of the LP/sub 01/ mode of single mode fibre (SMF) to the LP/sub 02/ mode in a ring-core dispersion compensated fibre (DCF). Design parameters for the HOF and the mating ring-core DCF have been optimized, resulting in a very large average dispersion of -750 ps/nm/km in the C-band. Compensation of dispersion within 1 ps/nm/km, and dispersion slope within the range of -0.09 to 0.3 ps/nm/sup 2//km was estimated using 1.31 km of DCF for 60 km long SMF in the entire C-band.

We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a novel, practical algorithm for the measurement of multiple pumps evolution by using modified OTDR technique. With measured pump evolution profile and only one reference measurement data, the gain spectrum could be analytically calculated for any pump magnitude combination sets. The discrepancy between experimentally measured gain spectrum and calculated one was below 0.5 dB over entire gain bandwidth.

We have developed a highly nonlinear fiber made of the Bi/sub 2/O/sub 3/-based glass. From four-wave mixing measurements, the nonlinear coefficient is estimated to be /spl gamma/ = 64.2 W/sup -1/ km/sup -1/. The propagation loss is less than 0.8 dB/m, and it can be fusion-spliced to SiO/sub 2/ fibers. These characteristics are very attractive for applications of the Bi-fiber to all-optical signal processing devices.

Optical flow switching (OFS) in large-scale wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks is an emerging technology enabled by rapid advancement in optical switch and transceiver technology. It is a connection oriented service involving dynamic creation of relatively short (one second or less) duration optical lightpaths between users that desire a high-rate, high quality of service (QoS) connection. A flow switched transaction bypasses electronic routers along its path alleviating the potential load on the routers. This provides a twofold benefit. We have designed and implemented OFS in the NGI ONRAMP testbed. NGI ONRAMP is an acronym for next generation Internet optical network for regional access using multi-wavelength protocols. It is an optical access area network deployed in the metropolitan Boston area. For OFS in such large-scale networks, a critical issue is that of connection setup. In ONRAMP, we have taken the view that it is vital for the network management and control system to have reliable network state information to make decisions about routing and wavelength assignment.

We have proposed a low insertion-loss arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) demultiplexer using phase adjustment elements called islands. The refractive index of the island is the same as that of the cladding. The configuration of the island is designed on the basis of a local phase-velocity principle. The demultiplexer optimized by the BPM shows an insertion loss of 1.3 dB using equally spaced islands. Further investigation shows that the use of chirped islands contributes to a low crosstalk level of less than -50 dB, without increasing the number of arrayed waveguides. We are now measuring the properties of the AWG demultiplexer with islands.

We have demonstrated a simulation method that can efficiently generate not only large first- and second-order PMD, but also combinations where one of the two is large and the other is small. Furthermore, the use of importance sampling allows the accurate determination of the associated probability distribution, even for very rare events.

We have demonstrated a novel transparent optical protection-switching scheme capable of switching with minimum, and even without, loss of data. The detection circuit has proven to trigger the optical switch when failure situations, like the unplugging of a fibre-connector or the fibre being exposed to abnormal environmental conditions, occurs. We believe this protection scheme will be attractive for networks where optical transparency or high level of protection security, like protection against security attacks, tampering or earthquakes, are desired.
