Analysis and modeling of the effects of reflection induced noise on the performance of fiber optic communication systems

Refractive index discontinuities in fiber optic transmission systems are known to cause deleterious effects. Non-negligible return losses associated with connectors and splices in present day systems cause intermittent error bursts and bit-error-rate floors in gigabit per second systems. These are a...
