“…The hydroxyl ion (OH) absorption is one of the main absorptions in the case of glass fibers [1]. The OH absorption causes the multiple absorption peaks in the wavelength range from visible to the infrared band [25]. The main source of the scattering loss in optical fiber is due to the Rayleigh scattering [25].…”

“…The scale of this index variation is much smaller than the wavelength of interest. The energy scattering when the propagating light interacts with such small index variation causes the Rayleigh scattering [25]. The significance of the Rayleigh scattering in optical fiber is reduced as the wavelength increases.…”

The advent of silica-based low-cost standard single-mode fibers revolutionized the whole communication industry. The deployment of optical fibers in the networks induces a paradigm shift in the communication technologies used for long-haul information transfer. However, the communication using the optical fibers is affected by several linear and nonlinear effects. The most common linear effects are attenuation and chromatic dispersion, whereas the dominant nonlinear effect is the Kerr effect. The Kerr effect induces a power-dependent nonlinear distortion for the signal propagating in the optical fiber. The detrimental effects of the Kerr nonlinearity limit the capacity of long-haul optical communication systems. Fiber Kerr nonlinearity compensation using digital signal processing (DSP) techniques has been well investigated over several years. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive tutorial, including the fundamental mathematical analysis, on the characteristics of the optical fiber channel, the origin of the Kerr nonlinearity effect, the theory of the pulse propagation in the optical fiber, and the numerical and analytical tools for solving the pulse propagation equation. In addition, we provide a concise review of various DSP techniques for fiber nonlinearity compensation, such as digital back-propagation, Volterra series-based nonlinearity equalization, perturbation theory-based nonlinearity compensation, and phase conjugation. We also carry out numerical simulation and the complexity evaluation of the selected nonlinearity compensation techniques.

“…InN lasers can be of great interest for fibre optic communications, as they can extend transmission capabilities in the third transmission window into and beyond the U band. As IR absorption and related transmission losses in SiO 2 optical fibres strongly increase for wavelengths >1.7 µm [9], fibre optic communications based on different fibre materials [10,11] may greatly benefit from InN lasers. Interest in InNbased and fibre NIR lasers is documented by recent studies.…”

Indium nitride (InN) is a very promising direct bandgap semiconductor material for near-infrared optoelectronic devices and high speed transistors, however InN growth is much more challenging compared to other III-N semiconductors. In this study we analysed the impact of pre-growth vicinal c-plane sapphire substrate nitridation on the electrical, optical, and strucutral properties of N-polar InN/InAlN heterostructures and the InN crystal habit. While a short cool-down nitridation phase resulted in a high quality InAlN layer and low quality InN layer, it was the opposite for a long cool-down nitridation phase. A trade-off between the electrical and optical properties was observed: the short nitridation cool-down produced InN layers with a higher electron mobility of 629 cm 2 V −1 s −1 and low photoluminescence (PL) emission, and the long one resulted in InN with a ∼21% lower electron mobility of 497 cm 2 V −1 s −1 but strong PL emission. Also, a very different InN crystal habit was observed for either case. The short nitridation cool-down was conducive to the formation of a continuous layer consisting mostly of coalesced downward-pointing hexagonal pyramids, while the long one led to a layer of upward-pointing hexagonal pyramids. The local decomposition of an AlON layer produced by sapphire nitridation and variations in the InAlN surface morphology resulting in a preferential attraction of growth species and localised change in the surface free energy contributions were most likely responsible for these observations. Our results also suggest N-polar buffer layers are likely to produce coalesced InN layers with a high electron mobility, while metal-polar buffer layers may facilitate the growth of high crystal quality pyramidal InN with a strong optical response.
