Priority-based parameter optimization strategy for reducing the effects of four-wave mixing on WDM system

In order to meet the ultra high speed and ultra long-haul transmission distance in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems, the nonlinear impairment affecting the overall spectral efficiency and system performance should be minimized. This paper proposes a strategy to mitigate the four-wave mixing (FWM) effect in WDM system. The strategy determines the effect of both single and combined effects of second, third, and fourth optimization priority parameters such as fiber length, input power, dispersion, channel spacing, and effective area on FWM power. A comparison study was made under different types of optical fiber such as single-mode fiber (SMF), dispersion shifted fiber, non-zero dispersion fiber, and non-zero dispersion shifted fiber. In addition, the system performance in term of bit-error-rate was calculated in the case of single priority (impact of effective area) and combined priority (impact of effective area, input power, fiber length and channel spacing). The results show that the FWM effect was reduced based on the transmission parameters order of optimization, i.e., priority selection proposed. Moreover, the results indicated that increasing sequentially the effective area, fiber length; channel spacing and decreasing the input power provide the most significant sequence in suppressing the effects of FWM. This priority sequence brought the suppression ratio to approximately 26.3% in SMF, which suppressed the FWM effects up to −50 dBm. In term of BER; the combined priority introduces improvement in BER of 2.31 × 10⁻²⁵ in comparison with single priority that has value of BER 4 × 10⁻¹⁴. Finally, this work suggests that the proposed priority-based parameter optimization strategy is an ideal solution for optimum performance of WDM system.     

FWM minimization in WDM optical communication systems using the asymmetrical dispersion-managed fibers

Four wave mixing (FWM) induced power penalty is investigated theoretically for asymmetrical dispersion-managed fibers in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems. The power penalty in these fibers is analyzed for various values of channel spacing, maximum dispersion and number of sections in different channels. Using numerical simulations, it is illustrated that the FWM induced power penalty is minimized for the case of two fiber sections with unequally special lengths and symmetrical dispersion values.

Threshold and conversion experiments on seeded stimulated Raman scattering

High energy-conversion efficiencies in Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) are demonstrated both in experiments and by simulations for pump powers below SRS threshold. The scattering is induced by a short seed pulse at the Stokes frequency, the pulse width of which is much shorter than the pump pulse width and which is comparable with the medium's dephasing time.     

Relative intensity noise induced by four-wave mixing in the case of two-wave transmission in an optical fiber

Four-wave mixing (FWM) is a significant nonlinear effect in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) fiber-optic systems. For two-wave transmission, it is easily found that the FWM noise power decreases with frequency spacing and increases with signal power. However, the variation of relative intensity noise (RIN) with frequency spacing and signal power is only 2 dB at most. The intensity fluctuations induced by the energy exchange between the FWM generated new waves and the original ones are trivial and the influence of FWM on RIN can be neglected. It is also found that the increase of RIN with signal power is mainly attributed to stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) rather than FWM.

Investigation on modified FWM suppression methods in DWDM optical communication system

The focus of this paper is to investigate the methods for Four Wave Mixing (FWM) suppression. Modified techniques equal and unequal-channel spacing with polarization, equal channel spacing with alternate channel delay, optical coupling and varied laser power have been proposed to reduce the impact of FWM on Dense Wave Length Division Multiplexing (DWDM) optical communication system. Further the comparison of reduction of FWM for existing and proposed techniques has been discussed by varying the dispersion of fiber from 0 to 16 ps/nm/km. It has been observed that the suggested techniques are simpler to design optical communication system and superior to the existing methods.     

Four-wave mixing analysis in WDM optical communication systems with higher-order dispersion

Four-wave mixing (FWM) is one of the major limiting factors in WDM optical fiber communication systems. In this paper, we analyze the individual and combined effect of second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-order dispersion parameters on FWM at different input channel powers and core effective areas, which have not been calculated earlier. FWM power versus channel power graphs for individual and combined effects of dispersion parameters have been presented, and it has been observed that FWM reduces for combined effect of dispersion parameter.     

Distortion of parabolic pulse due to higher-order effects in a dispersion-decreasing fiber

Considering Third-order Dispersion (TOD) and Stimulated Raman Scattering effect (SRS) simultaneously, the properties of the self-similar parabolic pulse evolution in a dispersion-decreasing optical fiber with normal group-velocity dispersion are firstly investigated in our paper. Our results show that parabolic pulses are distorted and the characteristic of exactly self-similarity will be lost due to the High-order effects. When only the TOD is taken into account, the chirp still reveals highly linear but glows into asymmetric which causes the waveform appearing optical wave breaking. When only considering SRS, the pulse still reveals highly linear chirp only linearity range narrow down, resulting in delaying the self-similar evolution. When considering SRS and TOD simultaneously, parabolic pulses are distorted less and the characteristic of exactly self-similarity will be better due to SRS effect than only considering TOD effect. The highly linear chirp in optical pulse still allows for efficient and high-quality pulse compression by use of dispersion compensation technique.     

The effect of Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) in Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) in WDM mesh and ring topologies

In this paper, the impact of Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) in Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) is performance analyzed in three different setting in the number of hops in routes using fixed shortest path routing in 8-nodes mesh and 8-nodes ring topologies. Performance result shows the impact of SRS is more apparent in 8-nodes ring topology compared to 8-nodes mesh topology when the number of optical channel is 32 for all the setting of the number of hops in routes. Whereas when the number of channels is 16, the impact of SRS is not much different in both topologies. Furthermore, the impact of SRS is more apparent in 4-hops setting compared to 2-hops and 3-hops setting used in the routes. It suggests that in order to support more traffic request by higher optical channel, the acceptable connection due to SRS depletion to be established depends on the number of hops used in routing scheme indirectly depends on different network topology.     

受激喇曼散射对自相似脉冲产生的影响

研究了在受激喇曼散射与三阶色散共同作用下,自相似脉冲在具有正常色散的色散渐减光纤中的演化情况.结果表明:在同一个传输距离上,当考虑受激喇曼散射与三阶色散的共同影响时,脉冲中心的不对称特性相对好转;产生中心漂移与边缘振荡较只有三阶色散作用时要减弱,啁啾仍然具有很强的线性特性,但是线性范围减小,导致频谱的窄化以及对接下来自相似脉冲的压缩产生了不利影响;而且光纤长度的延长并没有起到展宽啁啾线性范围的效果,反而导致严重的啁啾非线性;因此对脉冲进行压缩后,压缩脉冲质量较不考虑受激喇曼散射时要差.     

Effect of four-wave mixing in WDM optical fibre systems

Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) can both significantly enhance transmission capacity and provide more flexibility in optical network design. Through the use of erbium-doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs), it is possible to build long-distance transparent optical transmission links without electrical regenerators. In such systems, fibre nonlinearities are likely to impose a transmission limit due to increased total interaction length. There are a number of optical nonlinear effects in optical fibres, such as stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), carrier-induced phase modulation and four-wave mixing (FWM). Out of these SRS and FWM are the dominant effects. In this paper, an algorithm has been suggested to study the effect of FWM in the total system noise considering the combined effect of SRS and FWM in the presence of amplified spontaneous noise (ASE). It has been found from the study that to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of the transmitted signal in a WDM system FWM noise needs to be reduced as this is the dominant noise factor.     

Generation of multiorder Stokes and anti-Stokes lines in a Brillouin erbium-fiber laser with a Sagnac loop mirror

We have demonstrated a novel multiwavelength lasing scheme in which a Brillouin erbium-fiber laser with a Sagnac loop mirror and a metal-coated planar mirror were used. The Sagnac loop permitted the simultaneous presence of a stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) pump and Stokes lines within the loop and thus generated high-order Stokes and anti-Stokes waves through a four-wave mixing (FWM) process. A total of 34 lines of Stokes and anti-Stokes waves with 0.08-nm line spacing was generated through the SBS and FWM processes with 1.5-mW SBS pump power at 1561 nm and 80-mW erbium-doped-fiber pump power.     

Stimulated Brillouin scattering limited intensity-dependent four-wave mixing between pump and signal in a non-zero dispersion shifted fiber

The intensity-dependent four-wave mixing (FWM) efficiency is derived by the nonlinear Schrodinger equations including the self phase modulation and cross phase modulation between the two Fabry–Perot modes of a pump and a single-wavelength signal. The maximum FWM for mixing the pump with signal in non-zero dispersion shifted fiber is explained as the minimum phase mismatch for FWM due to equal group delay for the pump and signal. It was also found that the experimental measurements for the generated FWM power are limited by the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) threshold. Under the SBS threshold, the experimental results are still coincided well with the theoretical calculations of the FWM generated power ratio to have the difference of 0.12 dB for the input signal power of 12 mW.
