Abstract

As guest editors for this Special Issue of the IEEE/OSA JOURNAL OF LIGHTWAVE TECHNOLOGY (JLT), we are pleased to present a broad selection of the important contributions to OFC/NFOEC 2013, which took place in March in Anaheim, CA, USA. This special issue documents the state of the art in optical fiber technology and networks in greater depth than is possible in the limited format of the conference technical digest. To capture a broad range of subjects, we invited all authors of accepted post-deadline papers and all tutorial presenters to submit a contribution to this Special Issue. We encouraged all authors to augment their papers by including more detail and additional content. All submissions underwent the standard peerreview process of JLT assuring expected accuracy, completeness, and polished presentation.
