Abstract

Progress in optical communications has been one of the key factors for the enormous growth of the JCT sector, and, in particular, of the Internet phenomenon. Such a progress has been driven by experimental successes that have been obtained in the last three decades in several laboratories all over the world, and we have witnessed a fantastic challenge among such labs to reach record targets such as maximum bitrate, maximum propagation distance, higher performance, maximum efficiency, and, recently, minimum energy consumption. The search for the maximum bit rate x distance was based on the principle of infinite bandwidth of the optical fiber that let us to imagine transmission of enormous capacities over transoceanic distances, especially after the invention of the optical amplifier.
