Abstract :
Optical network operators could find it easier to predict the limits of their infrastructure in the future thanks to an experimentally proven model of fibre fuse effect dynamics. Researchers from the Instituto of Telecomunicaçoes and the University of Aveiro in Portugal have shown how the velocity of the fuse zone depends on the optical intensity of the signal, and have identified a ̧saturation regioņ in erbium-doped fibres for the first time.
