Abstract

Fiber optics is a promising technology that can enable the high bit rates and long spans that are on increasing demand. Although the fiber bandwidth is as large as several terahertz, there are several phenomena, related to both intrinsic fiber properties and characteristics of the state-of-the-art transmitters and receivers, which seriously degrade the performance of fiber communication systems, imposing limits on the transmission bandwidths and distances that can be achieved. In this thesis, some of the issues affecting linear and nonlinear propagation in optical fiber will be theoretically and experimentally studied. Schemes for compensation of some of these phenomena or amelioration of their effects will be presented.
