20Gb/s系统中偏振模色散的偏振度反馈控制分析

基于主偏振态理论和一阶偏振模色散近似,推导出光信号偏振度的一个简洁解析表达式。并利用该解析表达式和快速傅里叶变换,对20Gb／s系统的偏振模色散补偿中,偏振度监测法的灵敏度和跟踪范围受多种因素(如脉冲啁啾、占空比、消光比、放大自发辐射噪声、自相位调制等)的影响程度进行了数值模拟分析。发现利用偏振度监测法反馈控制偏振模色散补偿时,监测灵敏度和跟踪范围是折中的,较小的占空比有利于提高偏振度监测法的灵敏度,而且总可以对高达1．5个位周期(75ps)的差分群延时进行跟踪,但当占空比低于0．5时,跟踪范围迅速缩小,消光比和放大自发辐射噪声不会明显改变偏振度监测法的跟踪范围,自相位调制效应显著地影响偏振度监测法的性能。

Extended Jones matrix for first-order polarization mode dispersion

I present numerical simulations of the average transfer function of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in optical fibers conditioned on various given values of the differential group delay (DGD). I find that even fibers with relatively small mean DGD can exhibit significant coupling between the two principal states of polarization. The average frequency dependence of this coupling can be approximated by a generic analytic function that deviates substantially from the quadratic frequency dependence that is often assumed in second-order PMD models. Finally, I define an extended transfer matrix for first-order PMD that describes the average frequency dependence of all PMD-induced distortions as a function of the DGD and show that this matrix is much better suited for optical PMD compensation than that of a conventional first- and second-order PMD model.

Quantum Statistical Theory of Polarization Mode Dispersion

Polarization mode dispersion is modelled as decoherence of polarization under the disturbance of environment and the coupling with frequency. This model is described by the quantum master equation and the Langevin equation. It can be predicted that the optical beam is depolarized exponentially in a fibre and the differential group delay （DGD） is proportional to the square root of the propagation distance. The distribution of the DGD can also be calculated.     

A deeper analysis of the second order polarization mode dispersion in optical communications systems

This article presents a new approach to the combined analysis of the first and second-order polarization mode dispersion (SOPMD) and shows their importance in optical communication systems performance. How it affects the relation between second-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and the differential group delay (DGD) in a single mode fiber is discussed. The analysis is based on time or wavelength and temperature variations changing/impacting PMD and DGD measured values. We present long term statistical characteristics of second-order PMD over a PMD emulator, and investigate the correlation between SOPMD, depolarization (DEP) and polarization dependent chromatic dispersion (PCD). Some authors calculate these modes from measurements obtained from the first order polarization mode dispersion, assuming a positive correlation between these effects, but this not the real relationship between them. A new interpretation of SOPMD was used to analyze the problem of the spectral stability in terms of the temperature. Actual techniques for determination SOPMD, consequently DEP and PCD, use the variation in time and/or wavelength. In some studies the results obtained for SOPMD are correlated to first-order PMD (FOPMD). This paper shows, based on measurements, that the correlation between first and second order Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) in the case where the last one is a function of the temperature can assume positive or negative values.

The DOP monitor has its advantages of bit-rate independent and modulation format independent. The two-stage compensator has the capacity of compensation for the first- and second-order PMD. The compensated differential group delay (DGD) is up to 80 ps, and compensated principal state of polarization rotation rate is 20 ps. The time used for compensation is less than 1 second.

PMD compensation using a fuzzy automatic polarization controller

A new first-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation technique is experimentally demonstrated in a 2.5 Gbit/s optical transmission system. It achieves adaptive compensation over a wide range of differential group delay (DGD) values, since it does not try to compensate it, but to eliminate one of the principal states of polarization by means of a liquid crystal polarization controller and a polarizer. The PMD parameters of the received signal are measured in real time through its spectrum analysis, and used as the feedback signal in a fuzzy logic algorithm controlling the liquid crystal device. The algorithm achieves a response time faster than the PMD variations in real links, also featuring endless operation. Moreover, a deterministic compact PMD emulator has been implemented in order to test the PMD compensator system.

In the experiment, degree of polarization (DOP) is used as feedback signal and particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is adopted as logic control algorithm.The compensation time is about 200 ms, the compensated differential group delay (DGD) is up to 30 ps,and bit error rate (BER) of 10-9 is reached when PMD compensation is employed.     

Study of the frequency autocorrelation of the differential group delay in fibers with polarization mode dispersion

We study the frequency autocorrelation of the differential group delay (DGD) in fibers with polarization mode dispersion (PMD). We show that the correlation bandwidth of the DGD is comparable with that of the orientation of the PMD vector. Furthermore, we show that all the most general statistical properties of polarization mode dispersion in long fibers are uniquely determined by the mean DGD. An estimate of the accuracy of measurements in which the mean DGD is extracted by frequency averaging in a single fiber is obtained as a function of the measured bandwidth.     

Adaptive PMD compensation in 10-Gb/s RZ optical communication system

The compensated differential group delay (DGD) is up to 30 ps. The quasi-real-time, less than one second, PMD compensation is realized. In the experiment, for the first time, the algorithm so-called particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to control feedback compensation system.     

Spectrally resolved reflectometric measurement of polarization mode dispersion in an optical fiber link with polarization-dependent loss

In an optical fiber link with polarization-dependent loss (PDL), we demonstrate that although the complex polarization mode dispersion vector cannot be fully obtained by the reflectometric measurement, the spectrally resolved differential group delay (DGD) and differential attenuation slope (DAS) can be explicitly determined by such measurements performed simultaneously in the optical frequency domain and the fiber length domain. In principle, this technique can be used to realize the spectrally resolved and spatially resolved measurement of DGD and DAS in an optical fiber link having PDL based on distributed Rayleigh backscattering. We report the experimental result based on the far-end Fresnel reflection to confirm the validity of the proposed method.     

Dynamic PMD compensation in 40-Gb/s optical communication system

A 40-Gb/s optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) return-to-zero (RZ) transmission experiments in cluding a dynamic polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation was reported. The dynamic PMD compensator is made up of two-stage four degrees of freedom (DOF). The first stage adopts polarization controller and fixed time-delayed line. The second stage is variable differential group delay (DGD) element. The PMD monitoring technique is based on degree of polarization (DOP) as error signal. A novel practical adaptive optimization algorithm was introduced in dynamic adaptive PMD compensation. The experimental results show that the performance of the PMD compensator is excellent for 40-Gb/s RZ transmission systems with the large DGD. With this compensator, a significant improvement of system performance can be achieved in the eye pattern of a received signal. The first-order compensating ability of the compensator is greater than 30 ps. The second-order compensating ability is greater than 200 ps2.The first-order optimum compensating time is within 10 ms. The second-order optimum compensating time is within 24 ms.     

Improved models of optical fiber birefringence—Part II

In this paper, we employ several general models (introduced in Part I) for the evolution of optical fiber birefringence with longitudinal distance to analyze, both theoretically and numerically, the behavior of the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in single mode fibers. We find that while the probability distribution function of the differential group delay varies along the fiber length as in existing models, the dependence of the root mean square differential group delay (DGD) on fiber length differs noticeably from earlier predictions.
