Simulative investigations of power penalty for DWDM link in the presence of FWM

In this paper, the eight channels dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical communication system has been simulated, and power penalty introduced due to neighboring channels required to compensate the crosstalk has been calculated. It has been observed that the intermediate channels are more affected as compared to the boundary channels and more power is required to compensate the loss of information due to crosstalk.     

Performance analysis and optimization for UAV-based FSO communication systems

Recently, with the increasingly mature development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, free-space optical (FSO) communication with the UAV relay has gradually attracted extensive attention from scholars at home and abroad. In this paper, a hovering UAV-based FSO dual-hop decode-and-forward system with multiple sources is investigated. In the system, channel attenuation coefficient is affected by atmospheric loss, atmospheric turbulence, pointing error and angle-of-arrival fluctuation. By analyzing the probability density functions (PDF) of these four factors, we derive a tractable expression for the PDF of the total channel gain. Then, closed-form expression of the end-to-end outage probability and asymptotic outage performance bounds are derived to evaluate the influence of different factors on the system performance. Based on the derived theoretical expressions, the location of UAV and the number of source nodes are jointly optimized to improve the overall system performance and reduce the system cost. Numerical results show that the derived theoretical expressions are accurate to evaluate the outage performance of the system. Moreover, the proposed optimization algorithm significantly improves the system performance and can provide the optimal parameter selection for UAV system design.     

Performance investigation of suppression of four wave mixing using optical phase conjugation with different modulation format in DWDM soliton communication system

The performance of dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) soliton transmission system for returnto-zero (RZ) and non-return-to-zero (NRZ) modulation formats have been investigated. The main aim of this paper is to estimate and mitigate the four wave mixing (FWM) power by using in-line optical phase conjugator (OPC). The effect of FWM has been estimated using real fiber link having nonlinear and attenuation losses. The FWM power is strongly suppressed by introducing destructive interference between the first and second halves of in-line OPC. It has been indicated that RZ with OPC yields the better performance with FWM power suppression (more than 20 dBm in certain cases) with reasonable bit error rate and Q-factor.     

Performance analysis of FSO links under strong atmospheric turbulence conditions using various modulation schemes

Strong atmospheric turbulence is a major hindrance in wireless optical communication systems. In this paper, the performance of a wireless optical communication system is analyzed using different modulation formats such as, binary phase shift keying-subcarrier intensity modulation (BPSK-SIM), differential phase shift keying (DPSK), differential phase shift keying-subcarrier intensity modulation (DPSK-SIM), M-ary pulse position modulation (M-PPM) and polarization shift keying (PolSK). The atmospheric channel is modeled for strong atmospheric turbulences with combined effect of turbulence and pointing errors. Novel closed-form analytical expressions for average bit error rate (BER), channel capacity and outage probability for the various modulation techniques, viz. BPSK-SIM, DPSK, DPSK-SIM, PolSK and M-PPM are derived. The simulated results for BER, channel capacity and outage probability of various modulation techniques are plotted and analyzed.     

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.     

Sensitivity enhancement of off-axis ICOS using wavelength modulation

In this paper, we analyze the sensitivity enhancement attainable by combining a wavelength modulation (WM) technique to integrated cavity output spectroscopy (ICOS), pointing out how the spectrometer??s parameters and the acquisition strategy affect the detection noise in both techniques. We point out that WM-ICOS is mainly limited by the slow scan rate that it requires, compared to regular ICOS. Nevertheless, according to our analysis, WM can still appreciably improve the SNR of an ultrasensitive ICOS system, if the cavity transmission is so low that the detector noise is not negligible. In light of these considerations, we directly compare the performance of ICOS and WM-ICOS in a high sensitivity ambient-air methane detection experiment, finding a good agreement with the theoretical influence of the various spectrometer parameters.     

Analysis of bottlenecks in DWDM fiber optic communication system

This paper deals with the limiting factors like Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS), Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) and Four Wave Mixing (FWM) in DWDM Fiber Optic Communication. The variation of SBS threshold power level for the spectral width of the source is analyzed and it is found that addition of spectral width in the source lowers the SBS effect. By reducing the SBS effect, we could transmit more optical power in a single channel and maintain high OSNR. Similarly the effect of phase mismatching (dispersion) and wavelength spacing on both FWM and SRS are analyzed. This work aims at finding the optimal value of spectral width, dispersion and channel spacing, thereby exploring the possibilities of increasing the overall capacity of the fiber optic trunk line.     

Performance analysis of space-shift keying over negative-exponential and log-normal FSO channels

The average bit-error rate(ABER) performance of free-space optical(FSO) communication links is investigated for space-shift keying(SSK) over log-normal and negative-exponential atmospheric turbulence channels. SSK is compared with repetition codes and a single-input single-output system using multiple pulse amplitude modulations. Simulation results show that the signal-to-noise ratio gain of SSK largely increases with greater spectral efficiencies and/or higher turbulence effects. A tight bound for ABER is derived based on an exact moment generation function(MGF) for negative-exponential channel and an approximate MGF for log-normal channel.Finally, extensive Monte Carlo simulations are run to validate the analytical analysis.     

Packet error rate analysis of OOK, DPIM and PPM modulation schemes for ground-to-satellite optical communications

Packet error rate of OOK, DPIM and PPM modulation schemes are researched for ground-to-satellite optical communication systems. Analysis process is based on threshold detection for OOK and DPIM, and optimal detection for PPM. Packet error rate of these three modulation schemes are compared for both uplink and downlink, with consideration of the turbulence introduced intensity fluctuation in the ground-to-satellite laser link. Numerical results are given, and based on it, the advantages of PPM and DPIM are discussed, with the comparison to OOK. This work can be helpful for modulation scheme selection in the ground-to-satellite laser communication system design.

MUMAS signals were recorded using a multi-mode diode laser of the A-band b¹\varSigma _g⁺? X³\varSigma _g^-b^{1}\varSigma _{g}^{+}\leftarrow X^{3}\varSigma _{g}^{-} of molecular oxygen at 760 nm. Direct MUMAS and WMS-MUMAS signals were recorded using a White cell for air and pure oxygen for pressures in the range 0 to 1 bar. CEAS-MUMAS signals were recorded with and without WMS in an open enhancement cavity containing laboratory air. Enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio has been obtained demonstrating the potential for increased detection sensitivity for gas-sensing applications of MUMAS.     

Efficiency enhancement of high power vacuum BWO's using nonuniformslow wave structures

The Sinus-6, a high-power relativistic repetitively-pulsed electron beam accelerator, is used to drive various slow wave structures in a BWO configuration in vacuum. Peak output power of about 550 MW at 9.45 GHz was radiated in an 8-ns pulse. We describe experiments which study the relative efficiencies of microwave generation from a two-stage nonuniform amplitude slow wave structure and its variations without an initial stage. Experimental results are compared with 2.5 D particle-in-cell computer simulations. Our results suggest that prebunching the electron beam in the initial section of the nonuniform BWO results in increased microwave generation efficiency, Furthermore, simulations reveal that, in addition to the backward propagating surface harmonic of the TM₀₁ mode, backward and forward propagating volume harmonics with phase velocity twice that of the surface harmonic play an important role in high-power microwave generation and radiation     

Theoretical analysis of optical pulse position modulation communication systems using semiconductor lasers

In this paper the performance of a pulse position modulation (PPM) optical system is analysed both for direct and coherent detection schemes taking into account time jitter of the semiconductor laser. This phenomenon can introduce a large sensitivity penalty if the system parameters are not accurately selected. In particular, the optimum value of the PPM order is strongly influenced by the laser time jitter, and the modulation index cannot be chosen below a threshold value that, with the assumed laser parameters, is about 0.7.     

Cooperative communication with imperfect channel information: Performance analysis and optimum power allocation

In this paper, symbol-error-rate (SER) performance analysis is provided for decode-and-forward (DF) and amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperation schemes in wireless networks with imperfect channel information. We derive closed-form SER formulations for a single relay system with square MQAM signals in a flat Rayleigh fading channel. Moreover, closed-form and high SNR tight SER approximations are established to show the asymptotic performance of the cooperation protocols. Simulations and comparisons verify that these approximations lead to similar results to those from the exact SER formulations for different power allocation methods. Furthermore, based on these SER performance analyses, we determine the optimum power allocation for the AF and DF cooperation scenarios.

Investigation on the influence of intensity scintillation and beam wander in space optical uplink DWDM communication system

Abstract

Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) has been widely applied in ground optical communication. However, the technology of DWDM is still not mature enough in the space optical communication system. In order to further advance the use of DWDM into space optical communication, the probability density function (PDF) and the bit-error rate (BER) performance of DWDM is investigated in uplink communications under the influence of atmospheric turbulence, consisting of intensity scintillation and beam wander caused by atmospheric turbulence. Numerical results show that the atmospheric turbulence has a great impact on BER and PDF, and wavelength, divergence angel, and other relevant parameters should be carefully considered in this DWDM system. This work can be conducive for improving DWDM design of space optical uplink communication systems.

Power penalty in multitone radio-over-fibre system employing direct and external modulation with optical amplifiers

This paper presents a multitone RoF system employing a central station and a remote antenna station to transmit modulated microwave or mm-wave signals. Two configurations of the system employing direct and external modulation are presented. First, at the central station, the modulating signal is directly and externally modulated at 1549.5 and 1550.5 nm, respectively, and the combined signal is then transmitted using wireless mode. In the second configuration, the combined signal is transmitted over 20 km to the remote antenna station using optical fibre connectivity. At the remote antenna station, both channel wavelengths are separated and amplified with an EDFA and SOA and are detected. The demonstration results show that there exists a small power penalty between the direct and the external modulation. But a large power penalty is reported depending upon the choice of optical amplifier viz. EDFA or SOA. Better performance is recorded in later case. The results also show that power is being distributed among the operating frequency and sidebands adjacent to it after transmission over a fibre link.
