- Kerr effect.
The optical Kerr effect occurs when the index of refraction of a fiber optic varies with the intensity of the transmitted light. This is a nonlinear process that occurs when the product of the laser power and the effective system length becomes a significant fraction of the nonlinearity coefficient y.
- line.
One or more SONET sections, including network elements at each end, capable of accessing, generating, and processing line overhead.
- line amplifier.
A line amplifier is a multiwave device that amplifies signals. It does so to maintain signal strength over long distances. The line amplifier is also referred to as an optical line amplifier (OLA).
- locked mode.
A VT mode that fixes the starting location of the VT SPE; locked mode ...
