Compensating Large PMD by Four Free degrees in an OTDM System

In this paper, by introducing a two-stages polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensator after a optical fiber link with a large PMD, we compensated over 270ps first-order and 2000ps2 high-order PMD in a optical fiber link with super high PMD. Our experimental results shows that, the compensators based on the two-stages of compensator can be used to PMD compensation in a 20Gb/s OTDM system with 60 km high PMD fiber. Before compensation,270ps DGD is became into max. 7ps after compensation. At simultaneity, the tunable FBG have a function of dispersion compensation.     

Analysis and Compensation of Polarization Mode Dispersion in Single Channel,WDM and 32-channel DWDM Fiber Optic System

One of the most serious impairments which limit the data rate in long distance and high speed transmission systems is Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD). PMD is negligible when data rate is low (i.e. in Mb/s or few Gb/s) but it will affect the high data rate transmission systems (10^s of Gb/s, Tb/s etc.), as the pulse broadening severely distorts the signal during transmission. Thus it is necessary to compensate the PMD in both single and multichannel fiber optic transmission system due to increase in the traffic demand. This paper deals with a Deterministic Differential Group Delay (DDGD) method to compensate the PMD in single channel, by delaying the fast polarization component and wavelength independent Polarization Maintaining Fiber (PMF) method for multichannel PMD compensation. The DDGD method efficiently compensates the PMD upto 45 ps in single channel 40 Gb/s transmission systems. The State of Polarization (SOP) before and after the PMD and after compensation is analyzed by means of Poincare Sphere. By using PM Fiber method, simultaneous and effective compensation of PMD in multichannel system is achieved. Here, the simulation has been carried out for 4-channel (40 Gb/s), 8-channel (80 Gb/s), 16-channel (160 Gb/s) WDM systems and 32-channel (320 Gb/s) DWDM fiber optic system with each channel having the data rate of 10 Gb/s and the results of PMD compensation for all the channels are analyzed. It is seen that the PMD compensation is achieved upto 90 ps 87 ps, 84 ps and 80 ps in 4-channel, 8-channel, 16-channel WDM systems and 32-channel DWDM systems respectively. As very high data rate of 100 Gb/s and above are in practice now-a-days, compensation of PMD is enhanced to 1.6 Tb/s (16 × 100 Gb/s) data rate for 16-channel by PMF method and 74 ps of broadening is compensated effectively.     

Optical all-pass filters for polarization mode dispersion compensation

Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation is addressed by decomposition of a fiber's Jones matrix into amplitude and phase responses, which are then compensated for separately. Cubic and higher-order phase compensation substantially reduce the cumulative probability at a given system penalty over first-order PMD compensation, as demonstrated for a 40-Gbit/s non-return-to-zero signal and a fiber PMD with a differential group delay of 20 ps (rms). Single-stage all-pass filters provide tunable compensation that is comparable to that obtained with a variable-delay line, and multistage all-pass filters are well suited for higher-order phase compensation.

Impacts of polarization mode dispersion on the pulse-width with considering initial pulse chirp and fiber GVD

The impacts of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) on the pulse-width in linear systems have been investigated. The analytical solutions, including the effects of initial frequency chirp and group velocity dispersion (GVD), are derived. Analyses show that the pulse broadening effects induced by the second-order PMD depend on GVD and chirp parameter, which are different from those induced by the first-order PMD. An initially chirped Gaussian pulse is taken as an example, upon which analytical solutions of rms pulse-width are derived before and after the first-order PMD compensation. The first-order PMD compensator is also evaluated based on these solutions. The results show that the pulse broadening effects will be resisted efficiently by choosing appropriate GVD and chirp parameter; in general, the post-transmission compensation method will be less efficient than the PSP-transmission method.

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.     

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.

40 Gbit/s 相干偏振复用QPSK传输中基于Manakov方程的非线性补偿

 在40 Gbit/s相干偏振复用正交相移键控（QPSK）传输系统中,为了补偿由于光纤中非线性效应引起的传输信号损伤,采用了基于Manakov方程的反向传播非线性补偿算法.传统的基于标量非线性薛定谔方程（NLSE）的反向传播算法忽略了偏振模色散（PMD）的作用,因此在偏振复用系统中不能补偿由于PMD引起的信号损伤|而基于Manakov方程的数字信号处理方法能够对PMD与克尔非线性效应的耦合作用进行补偿.从仿真与实验两个方面对此方法在40 Gbit/s相干偏振复用QPSK传输系统中的补偿效果进行了验证.结果均表明,与NLSE相比,基于Manakov方程的反向传播算法在400 km长距离QPSK传输中显示出更好的性能.在光信噪比（OSNR）为18 dB时,基于Manakov方程的反向传播算法得到的Q值与NLSE相比提高约3dB.     

Polarization mode dispersion in single mode optical fibers due to core-ellipticity

The variation of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) with V-parameter in single mode optical fibers due to core-ellipticity is studied by performing numerical simulations taking into account both geometrical and thermal-stress-induced birefringences as well as the variation of fiber refractive indices with wavelength. Simple empirical relations are given for calculating the mean PMD for any value of core-ellipticity and V-parameter of a standard single mode fiber. It is observed that the mean PMD saturates for V ? 1.8 leading to very small second order PMD.     

Comparison of soliton robustness with respect to polarization-mode dispersion with first-order polarization-mode dispersion compensated linear systems

Soliton robustness to polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) is compared, both analytically and numerically, with that of linear pulses that use first-order PMD compensation. It is found that soliton robustness to PMD is comparable with first-order PMD compensation and in some cases is even better. The effects of soliton control methods on soliton robustness to PMD were also investigated, and it was found that soliton control methods can significantly improve the soliton's robustness to PMD, particularly for long-distance systems.

Comparison of penalties resulting from first-order and all-order polarization mode dispersion distortions in optical fiber transmission systems

We compare the eye-opening penalty from a first-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) model with that from an all-order PMD model in optical fiber transmission systems. Evaluating the performance by taking into account only first-order PMD produces a good approximation of the true eye-opening penalty of uncompensated systems when the penalty is low. However, when the penalties are high, this model overestimates the penalty for outage probabilities in the range of interest for systems designers, which is typically approximately 10(-5) to 10(-6).
