An integrated OADM based on Bragg trans-reflectance in 1550 nm VCSEL optical fibre access networks
(Elsevier, 2018)
We experimentally demonstrate an all passive OADM using a single BGF, a pair of
optical circulators and the low cost and energy efficient VCSELs. In this study, double
reflection due to Bragg effect on a single fibre ...
A signal impairment-aware scheme for next-gen flexible spectrum in 10 Gb/s VCSEL metro-access optical fibre networks
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
We experimentally characterized and optimized link performance of a multi-node flexible
spectrum network. The cheap and low power consuming and wavelength tunable
vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have ...
Demonstration of Raman-based, dispersion-managed VCSEL technology for fibre-to-the-hut application
(Elsevier, 2017-03)
For the first time, we experimentally investigate the use of vertical cavity surface
emitting lasers (VCSELs) in the fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) flavour for Africa, known as
fibre-to-the-hut. Fibre-to-the-hut is a VCSEL ...
A VCSEL-based backbone extended-reach optical fibre network: Supporting up to 10 Gbps flexible access networks for Africa
(2018)
In this paper, using vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and Raman amplification, a low
power consuming, energy-efficient and cheap technique to transmit high speed data signals over
optical fibre is ...
Signal monitoring and performance stability evaluation tool in a high speed optical communication network
(Elsevier, 2016)
The diverse communication systems in South Africa have changed drastically over the
last few years and are envisioned to continue to improve as evidenced by the
deployment of high speed optical fibre networks, in both ...
Reconfigurable high-speed optical fibre networks: Optical wavelength conversion and switching using VCSELs to eliminate channel collisions
(Elsevier, 2017-01)
We experimentally provide an alternative solution to channel collisions through upwavelength
conversion and switching by using vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers
(VCSELs). This has been achieved by utilizing purely ...
