Comparison of PMF and LEAF as Optical Fibre Stress and Temperature Sensing Elements
Kuja, S.; Boiyo, Kiboi; Waswa, D.; Amolo, G.; Kipnoo, E.K.R.; Gibbon, T.; Leitch, A. (2013)We experimentally investigate the sensitivity of PMF and LEAF fibre. The design of a stress sensor gave the best sensitivity of 0.051 kg -1 while that of a temperature sensor, gave the best sensitivity of 0.181 0C1 -
Effects of Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) on Raman Gain and PMD Measurement using an Optical Fibre Raman Amplifier
Boiyo, Kiboi; Kuja, S.; Waswa, D.; Amolo, G.; Gamatham, R. R. G.; Kipnoo, E. K. Rotich; Gibbon, T. B.; Leitch, A. W.R. (IEEE, 2013-09-09)We experimentally investigate the effects of increase of the differential group delay (DGD) on Raman gain and gain value. It was found that the increase of DGD values lead to the formation and the increase in the number ... -
Interaction between the Linear and Nonlinear Polarization in Optical Fibre
Kuja, S.; Kipnoo, Rotich E.K.; Boiyo, Kiboi; Waswa, D.; Amolo, G.; Muguro, K. M. (2014)Interaction between polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and nonlinear induced birefringence in a fibre with consideration of mode coupling has been investigated theoretically using Matlab and Optism. The investigations show ... -
Modelling of an Optical Fibre Raman Amplifier
Boiyo, Kiboi; Kuja, S.; Kipnoo, Rotich E.K.; Waswa, D.; Muguro, K.M.; Amolo, G. (2012)The transmission of signals in long-haul optical fibre systems requires signal amplification. Raman amplification is based on SRS and it requires a frequency shift of 13.2 THz provided by signal and pump wavelengths of ...
