Numerical study of the effect of reflection grism pair in the case of non-parallel surfaces

In this paper, we analyze the dispersion characteristics of a reflection grism pair in the case of surfaces non-parallelism. The influences of grism structure parameters on dispersion relative errors are evaluated. Furthermore, we theoretical analyze the effect of the non-parallel grisms surfaces on the output pulse. Results show that when the grism pair is not parallel, the dispersion relative errors are strongly impacted by several factors, such as the grism rotation direction, the rotation angle, grating constant, and the incidence angle of the pulse. If the non-parallelism of grisms is unavoidable, the grisms with high grating constant are superior to that of low grating constant ones.

PMD effect on pulse shapes and power penalty in optical communication systems

We present an analytical expression relating the output state of polarization and the first-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) vector in terms of the angle of precession of the output state of polarization around the PMD vector. We derive, incorporating for the first time this angle of precession, a general relation to study the effect of first-order PMD on pulses of arbitrary shapes, and expressions for pulse shape, pulse broadening and power penalty taking into account both PMD and chromatic dispersion. Measured experiment results are presented for NRZ, RZ, NRZ-DPSK, and RZ-DPSK modulation formats.     

Individual and joint influence of second- and third-order dispersion on the transmission quality in the presence of coherent interference

The shape of a resulting pulse (coherent interference superimposed to Gaussian pulse) along the linear optical fiber is determined by using attained analytical expressions. These analytical expressions enable the investigation of the influence of arbitrary dispersion order on pulse propagation. Individual and joint influence of second- and third-order dispersion on the transmission quality is examined in this paper. Pulse shape, eye diagram and bit error rate (BER) are used to represent in the best manner the above-mentioned influences.

Dispersion Characteristics of Waveguide Arrays in Optical Spectrum Analyzers

Formulas for calculating the spectral characteristics of waveguide arrays, which are incorporated into waveguide spectrum analyzers based on planar waveguides, channel waveguides, and fiber optical waveguides, are derived taking into account the contribution of both the waveguide dispersion and the material dispersion to the dispersion factor. These formulas are used to study the dependence of the dispersion factor on the waveguide-system parameters for specific models of waveguide arrays. It is shown that consideration of contributions of the waveguide dispersion and material dispersion can affect profoundly the spectral characteristics of waveguide arrays.
