We report continuous, multiple-day measurements of polarization-dependent loss (PDL) of several C-band channels on an installed 1800-km terrestrial link. The PDL varies on a time-scale of hours, and the PDL of adjacent channels often track.

Complex interaction among optical signal distortions, analog component characteristics, and digital signal processing algorithms can give rise to significant performance degradation in the coherent system performance. Two topics are introduced as examples of such phenomena.

In the paper, we present the theoretical investigations of the nonlinear 1D and 2D photonic crystals which possess optical power limiting effect. The parameters of the structures were found as well as radiation intensities and wavelengths the stabilization is observed at. Numerical experiments have been carried out which approved the power stabilization at the output of the structures. The structures proposed are very promising for optical power limiting at the input of all-optical photonic integrated circuits.

Simulations of an asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulator reveal degradation of the contrast ratio as the incident spot size is decreased. The minimum practical spot size imposes constraints on the modulator dimensions and hence device capacitance.
