Advances in single-mode poled fibres

Integration of optical functions in fibre is a subject of constant investigation. If most of the basic functions like splitting, wavelength combining, filtering, amplification, dispersion management, etc, are already solved in fibres, others like isolation, pulse gating or frequency conversion are still subject of research. This is part of the current investigation performed in the frame of the EU project CHARMING (FP7-288786) and presented here.
