Spatially Resolved Equalization: A New Concept in Intermodal Dispersion Compensation for Multimode Fiber

Polley. In addition to the years of merriment, these people have provided general insight and feedback with development of this work. These people directly contributed to the fabrication of the devices. Without their assistance, this author may still be in the cleanroom. Support from the staff at TriQuint Semiconductor is also acknowledged, in providing MMIC processing and prototype amplifiers as well as providing raw materials necessary for the receiver testing. and support for the work that is presented, Dr. Ralph has provided a foundation of critical thinking and a perspective on engineering research from which, hopefully, great works will come forth.
