Study of all-fiber asymmetric interleaver based on two-stage cascaded Mach–Zehnder Interferometer

In order to improve the transmission efficiency of optical-fiber communication system with 10 Gb/s + 40 Gb/s, an all-fiber interleaver with unequal passband is proposed and discussed, which is based on a two-stage cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). The optimum value of structural parameters, such as splitting ratios of the couplers and the physical length differences of the interferometer arms, were chosen. One set of optimized data is validated in the experimental result. The experimental results and the theoretic analysis indicate that an all-fiber optical interleaver with 3 dB passband width in odd channels and even channels could be obtained, which having more than 60 GHz passband and 30 GHz passband, for transmission speed of 40 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s, respectively. By assigning different portions of spectrum to the 10 Gb/s and the 40 Gb/s channels, the bandwidth efficiency requirement of the 40 Gb/s channel is relieved, and therefore longer transmission distance can be achieved.     

40 Gbit/s all-optical clock recovery based on the injection mode-locked fiber ring laser

All-optical clock recovery is a key technology in all-optical 3R (Re-timing, Re-shaping, Re-amplifying) regeneration. In this paper, we demonstrate an all-optical clock recovery circuit based on injection mode-locked fiber laser. We have successfully extracted 40 GHz optical clock pulse from 40 Gb/s pseudorandom signal. Before the injected signal goes into the ring cavity, we make it pass a Mach–Zender interferometer (MZI) firstly. And thereby the clock component in the injected signal has been increased relatively, which is benefit to the clock recovery. We obtain firstly 10 GHz clock signal with perfect waveform from 10 Gb/s pseudorandom data stream, and then we extract 40 GHz clock signal from 40 Gb/s pseudorandom signal.

A tunable and switchable single-longitudinal-mode dual-wavelength fiber laser incorporating a reconfigurable dual-pass Mach-Zehnder interferometer and its application in microwave generation

A tunable and switchable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) dual-wavelength fiber laser incorporating a reconfigurable dual-pass Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) filter was proposed and demonstrated, which can be applied in microwave generation. By incorporating a high extinction ratio (ER) dual-pass MZI into an erbium-doped fiber ring cavity, SLM dual-wavelength lasing can be achieved even using a MZI with relatively little free spectrum range (FSR), and by beating the two wavelengths at a photodetector, a 9.76 GHz microwave signal with a 3-dB bandwidth of less than 10 kHz is obtained. Moreover, by direct linking the two outputs of the MZI, the high ER dual-pass MZI is easily reconfigured as a half FSR dual-pass MZI. Using this structure, switchable SLM dual-wavelength lasing can be conveniently realized.     

20-Gb/s and Higher Bit Rate Optical Wavelength Conversion for RZ-DPSK Signal Based on Four-Wave Mixing in Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

We investigate 20 Gb/s wavelength conversion for return-to-zero differential phase-shift keying (RZ-DPSK) signal using four-wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). We show that the 10-Gb/s RZ-DPSK signal-to-pump ratio increases up to -0.286 dB with Q factor improvement of 1.663 dB for increasing the cascadeability of optical networks. The effect of variation in bandwidth for an ideal dual-arm Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is illustrated. For different bit rates, the converted power signal is investigated with increase in signal input power. We show that the quality of converted signal is best before the saturation of SOA. The dependence of four-wave mixing (FWM) efficiency and converted signal power with signal input power is also studied, and it is found that FWM efficiency decreases with increase in signal input power.

The impact of signal-to-pump power ratio, unsaturated amplifier gain, and pump power is further optimized with minimum Q factor penalty for 10-Gb/s and 20-Gb/s bit rate. We show that converted signal power increases up to power saturation level and then starts decreasing. We also show that with higher bit rate, we have a wide range of choices for pump power signal. We further investigate the quality of converted signal at 10 Gb/s, which shows an improvement over signal input power. Finally, the increase in transmission distance after wavelength conversion is investigated.     

High speed optical sampling covering C band and L band using CPPLN waveguide

Two means of high speed optical sampling covering C band and L band based on sum frequency generation (SFG) in chirped periodically poled LiNbO₃(CPPLN) waveguide are studied in this paper. For the first method, arbitrary waveband inside C and L band can be sampled by tuning pump wavelength and the bandwidth is controllable by choosing suitable waveguide length and chirped coefficient of CPPLN waveguide. For another, the broad bandwidth covering C band and L band can be obtained with a fixed pump. The numerical simulations based on coupled-wave equations are carried out. The NRZ sequences of 10 Gb/s and 640 Gb/s transmission rate are sampled in simulation. Distinct eye diagrams and quality factors (Q) are obtained by software-synchronized algorithm. The results show that the two means of the optical sampling both can cover C band and L band. SFG in CPPLN waveguide used for optical sampling system has a broad bandwidth and more flexible selectivity.     

20-Gb/s and Higher Bit Rate Optical Wavelength Conversion for RZ-DPSK Signal Based on Four-Wave Mixing in Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

Abstract

We investigate 20 Gb/s wavelength conversion for return-to-zero differential phase-shift keying (RZ-DPSK) signal using four-wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). We show that the 10-Gb/s RZ-DPSK signal-to-pump ratio increases up to ?0.286 dB with Q factor improvement of 1.663 dB for increasing the cascadeability of optical networks. The effect of variation in bandwidth for an ideal dual-arm Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is illustrated. For different bit rates, the converted power signal is investigated with increase in signal input power. We show that the quality of converted signal is best before the saturation of SOA. The dependence of four-wave mixing (FWM) efficiency and converted signal power with signal input power is also studied, and it is found that FWM efficiency decreases with increase in signal input power.

The impact of signal-to–pump power ratio, unsaturated amplifier gain, and pump power is further optimized with minimum Q factor penalty for 10-Gb/s and 20-Gb/s bit rate. We show that converted signal power increases up to power saturation level and then starts decreasing. We also show that with higher bit rate, we have a wide range of choices for pump power signal. We further investigate the quality of converted signal at 10 Gb/s, which shows an improvement over signal input power. Finally, the increase in transmission distance after wavelength conversion is investigated.
