Abstract :
Summary form only, as follows. The topical heading of "Fibers" was omitted from JOURNAL OF LIGHTWAVE TECHNOLOGY\´s April 1998 Table of Contents. The following papers, which were included under "Systems" should have been listed under "Fibers." 1) "Corrections to Fixed Analyzer Measurements of Polarization Mode Dispersion" by P.A. Williams and C.M. Wang. 2) "Signal-Induced Refractive Index Changes in Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers" by M. Janos and S.C. Guy. 3) "Generating Mechanism of Maintaining Force for Optical Fiber Installed in Ferrule Hole" by M. Takahashi. 4) "Simulation and Characteristics of Long-Period Fiber Bragg Grating Coherence Spectrum" by Y. Zhao and J.C. Palais. 5) "Nd-Doped Double-Clad Fiber Amplifier at 1.06μm" by T. Miyazaki, K. Inagaki, Y. Karasawa, and M. Yoshida. 6) "Improved Design of APC Optical Connectors with Slanted Angle of 12° for Dispersion Shifted Optical Fiber" by M. Takahashi.
