160-Gb/s polarization-multiplexing optical NRZ-DQPSK transmission using differential detection

Using differential detection,we perform polarization-multiplexing 160-Gb/s optical non-return-to-zero(NRZ) differential quadrature phase shift keying(DQPSK) signal transmission over 100-km standard single mode fiber at a bit error rate(BER) of less than 10-9.The enabling technology includes clock recovery,fine dispersion compensation,and polarization tracking for de-multiplexing.Furthermore,a hybrid clock recovery scheme is proposed.The scheme is realized with ordinary devices using an optoelectrical modula...     

All-Optical AND Logic Gate without Additional Input Beam by Utilizing Cross Polarization Modulation Effect

A novel design of all-optical AND gate is proposed by using cross polarization modulation effect in a semiconductor optical amplifier. In this scheme, an additional continuous-wave beam is not required as that in traditional scheme. AND output is obtained on either of two input signal wavelengths. The AND scheme is numerically simulated and experimentally demonstrated at a bit rate of 10 Gb/s successfully.     

Heterodyne direct-detection OOFDM system with low sampling rate

A method of multi-channel receiving for high bit rate heterodyne direct-detection optical orthogonal frequency-division-multiplexing （OOFDM） system is proposed to reduce the sampling rate demand of analog-to-digital converter （ADC）. The sampling rate of ADCs can be reduced to 1/N that of the original signal bandwidth in an N-channel receiving system. Aided by a succeeding digital signal processing （DSP） at the receiver, aliasing free signal can be recovered. A back-to-back experimental result is given for a 4-channel system, based on which, a down conversion process for heterodyne can be reduced. The signal rebuilding algorithm is given and analyzed in its complexity and noise tolerance.     

Predistortion of high speed optical OFDM signal for aliasing-free receiving in multiple low-bandwidth receiver system

<正>A cost-effective method of multi-receiver optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing(OOFDM) system is proposed to reduce the requirement for the speed of the receiver and the size of fast Fourier transform(FFT).The sampling rate of analog-to-digital converters(ADCs) can be reduced to 1/N of the original signal bandwidth in an N-receiver system.Aided by signal predistortion at the transmitter, aliasing-free signal can be retrieved independently and directly at the low speed receivers.A back-to-back experimental result is given for a two-receiver system.The effect of the electrical filters added before the ADC is studied and the analysis for filters optimization is given.     

Amplitude Regenerative Characteristics of RZ-DPSK Wavelength Converter Based on Four-Wave Mixing in SOA

We investigate the phase-preserving amplitude regenerative characteristics of the return-to-zero （RZ） differential- phase-shift-keying （DPSK） wavelength conversion based on four-wave m/xing （FWM） in a semiconductor optical amplifier （SOA）. The Q-factor and the optical signal-to-noise ratio （OSNR） before and after conversion are experimentally obtained and analysed in different input noise power levels. In both the continuous-wave and synchronous clock pumping cases, we find that there is amplitude clamping in the FWM conversion due to the gain saturation of SOA, which can suppress the amplitude fluctuation of the converted DPSK signal before and after demodulation. We have achieved 2-dB Q penalty improvement in our experiment demonstration of lOGbit/s RZ-DPSK signal with OSNR lower than 19dB.     

Phase shift monitoring of delay-line interferometer and its application in phase-shift keying signal system

The relation between the phase shift and the mean optical power(MOP) output from a delay-line interferometer (DLI) port applied for phase-shift keying(PSK) signal demodulation is proven of a cosine law irrelevant to signal modulation condition.The variation amplitude of the MOP is proportional to the transition duration of the modulation pulses.This phenomenon is interpreted as the result of the statistical and waveform characteristics of the PSK.The conclusions verified by simulation and experiment are generalized to other modulation formats and then applied to phase detuning monitoring,delay time judgment of DLI,and independence of modulation data assessment.     

40-Gb/s PolMux-QPSK transmission using low-voltage modulation and single-ended digital coherent detection

We demonstrate a novel 40-Gb/s transmission system over a 10×101-km standard single mode fiber (SSMF) loop. This system features polarization multiplexed quadrature phase shift keying (PolMux-QPSK), lowvoltage modulation of 2-V peak-to-peak signal amplitude, and home-made 90° optical hybrid with singleended digital coherent detection. Any power amplifers before the modulator and balanced detectors are not used. In the case of low-voltage modulation, coherent detection is much less sensitive to modulator bias offset than delay interferometer-based demodulation.
