Bismuth-doped fiber integrated ring laser mode-locked with a nanotube-based saturable absorber

We demonstrate passive mode-locking of a bismuth-doped fiber laser using a singlewall nanotube-based saturable absorber. Stable operation in the all-normal dispersion and average soliton regime is obtained, with an all-fiber integrated format. © 2010 Optical Society of America.

Full-duplex wireless-over-fibre transmission incorporating a CWDM ring architecture with remote millimetre-wave LO delivery using a bi-directional SOA

We demonstrate the first full-duplex wireless-over-fibre transmission between a central station and a CWDM ring architecture with remote 40 GHz LO delivery using a bi-directional semiconductor optical amplifier. © 2005 Optical Society of America.
