Optical fiber sensor networks are evolving rapidly. They are used because of the inert nature of optical fibers allowing no electromagnetic interference and safe applications in inflammable atmospheres; other relevant ...

A novel optical filter employing a fiber loop mirror within an amplified ring resonator is presented. The fiber loop mirror allows tuning by changing the coupling factor of a coupler. The device can be used as a building ...

The elastic optical network (EON) was proposed as a solution to avoid the spectrum waste in conventional WDM networks, since it improves the network utilization. However, the elastic optical network is still based on an ...
