Enhancement of Node-Induced Crosstalk by Nonlinear Effects in Nonzero Dispersion-Shifted Fiber Rings with Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers

Wavelength division multiplexed metropolitan networks have been attracting increasing attention in the networking research community. We discuss an issue that is pertinent to node design and transmission systems in these networks. The problem of node-induced crosstalk and its interaction with fiber nonlinearities is investigated. In this respect, we consider transmission systems that are based on nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber rings with simple optical add/drop multiplexing nodes. The system power penalty due to the crosstalk/nonlinear interaction phenomenon is calculated for several cases. Dependence of this penalty on the frequency difference between signal and crosstalk carriers, input-signal power, and extinction ratio is investigated. It is shown that the design of regional and metropolitan networks or links with physical spans in excess of 200 km has to take this crosstalk/nonlinear interaction phenomenon into consideration.     

Crosstalk in a bidirectional optical fiber

Full-duplex communications in a single optical fiber is both feasible and practical in certain applications. The main problem is crosstalk between the two directions. This paper reviews the sources of crosstalk, gives its magnitude, and describes techniques to reduce crosstalk. An example is a system that requires 75 optical dB of isolation between transmitted and received signals at each terminal. There are two sources of optical crosstalk. The first occurs in components such as couplers and connectors and can be held below 50 dB by careful design. The second is Rayleigh scattering within the fiber, which increases system noise as well as crosstalk between counterdirectional signals.     

Crosstalk in a bidirectional optical fiber

Abstract

Full-duplex communications in a single optical fiber is both feasible and practical in certain applications. The main problem is crosstalk between the two directions. This paper reviews the sources of crosstalk, gives its magnitude, and describes techniques to reduce crosstalk. An example is a system that requires 75 optical dB of isolation between transmitted and received signals at each terminal. There are two sources of optical crosstalk. The first occurs in components such as couplers and connectors and can be held below 50 dB by careful design. The second is Rayleigh scattering within the fiber, which increases system noise as well as crosstalk between counterdirectional signals.     

Analytical investigations on crosstalk in fiber Raman amplification for WDM systems

In this paper, the analytical investigations for the crosstalk in fiber amplification for WDM channels have been reported. The crosstalk between WDM channels with external Raman amplification including second-order dispersion terms has been investigated. It has been shown that the higher-order dispersion severely degrades the performance of optical communication systems. To ensure small crosstalk, the signal gain and the injected pump power should be limited to the value well below the threshold of Raman amplification. Analytical formula for signal interference ratio (SIR) and gain in fiber Raman amplifier including the impact of second-order dispersion terms for WDM systems has been derived at different wavelengths. It has also been shown that there is increase in crosstalk due to second-order dispersion.     

Multiphoton endoscopy

Despite widespread use of multiphoton fluorescence microscopy, development of endoscopes for nonlinear optical imaging has been stymied by the degradation of ultrashort excitation pulses that occurs within optical fiber as a result of the combined effects of group-velocity dispersion and self-phase modulation. We introduce microendoscopes (350-1000 microm in diameter) based on gradient-index microlenses that effectively eliminate self-phase modulation within the endoscope. Laser-scanning multiphoton fluorescence endoscopy exhibits micrometer-scale resolution. We used multiphoton endoscopes to image fluorescently labeled neurons and dendrites.

Low temperature self-ion implantation into granular aluminium films

Radiation induced effects in glass-rods and fiberoptics have been studied to determine parameters affecting the application of these materials in nuclear technology, i.e. as fiberscopes for visual inspection in severe radiation environments. Different glass and fibertypes have been exposed to fission product gamma radiation. The radiation induced transmission loss was measured with a spectrophotometer and then different annealing methods were examined to improve the transmission properties again. Especially the changes in glass and fiber recovery vs. time as a function of radiation dose and annealing temperature were investigated. Annealing experiments were performed exposing the samples either to temperature treatment or to various light sources such as quartz lamp, arc lamp or UV-laser for optical annealing. The transmission recovery was then investigated either as a function of annealing temperature or of exposure time to the light sources. The results allow conclusions on the design and composition of optical fiber endoscopes to be used in severe radiation environment where image transmission is required in the presence of high level nuclear radiation.     

In vivo endoscopic optical coherence tomography by use of a rotational microelectromechanical system probe

A novel endoscopic optical coherence tomography probe was designed and constructed with a 1.9-mm microelectromechanical system (MEMS) motor. The new MEMS endoscopic probe design eliminates the need to couple the rotational energy from the proximal to the distal end of the probe. Furthermore, the endoscopic probe's sheath and fiber have the advantages of having a much smaller diameter and being more flexible than traditional endoscopes since no reinforcement is needed to couple the rotational torque. At the distal end, a prism mounted on a micromotor deflects the light rays to create a transverse circular-scanning pathway. Because our MEMS scanner does not require the coupling of a rotational single-mode fiber, a high scanning speed is possible while eliminating unstable optical signals caused by nonuniform coupling.

Simulation analysis of crosstalk among channels with fiber Raman amplifiers at 10 Gb/s

We have investigated the effects of crosstalk in fiber Raman amplifiers (FRAs) by propagating signals through the Raman fiber. We have observed that quality factor reduces for lesser channel spacing. We have able to propagate the signals in two channels with spacing of 20 GHz and quality factor above 25 dB was obtained. The effect of signal input power and injected pump power on crosstalk and signal interference ratio (SIR) has analyzed. It is observed that the signal gain and the injected pump power should be limited to the value well below the threshold of Raman amplification to ensure small crosstalk and high SIR. The effect of Raman fiber length on crosstalk is also studied and it is observed that for high values of Raman fiber length, SIR reduces considerably.     

Optical parametric amplification in all-silica triangular-core photonic crystal fibers

The present analysis demonstrates that photonic crystal fibers can be designed to enhance their properties for optical parametric amplification. In particular, it is possible to achieve high nonlinear coefficient values and flattened dispersion curves around 1550 nm to fully exploit the four-wave-mixing effect. These results have been obtained for triangular-core photonic crystal fibers without the need of modifying the refractive-index profile by adding dopants in the fiber cross section.     

Polarization insensitive wavelength conversion based on four-wave mixing for polarization multiplexing signal in high-nonlinear fiber

We have theoretically and experimentally investigated polarization insensitive of all optical wavelength conversion for polarization multiplexing signal based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in nonlinear optical fiber. Optical polarization multiplexing technique can be used to double the transmission bit rate by adding data on each of two orthogonal optical states. At the receiver side, the two orthogonal signals can be obtained by direct detection. The eye diagrams of the original signals have been probed and compared with the converted one in this experiment. The characteristics of the converted signal have been fully studied and a little crosstalk which leads a better corresponding eye diagram has been obtained after polarization demultiplexing.

Dynamics of optical pulse amplification and saturation in multiple state quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers

We have developed a novel analytical model, which describes the dynamic characteristics of optical pulse amplification and saturation in three state quantum dot (QD) semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). The model takes into account the effect of the ground state, the excited state and the 2-dimensional wetting layer. The model is simple, accurate and fast, which makes it suitable for device design and characterization. The derived model has been utilized to study large-signal cross-gain modulation and crosstalk in multi-channel QD-SOA. Analytical expressions for large signal cross-gain modulation and crosstalk in multichannel SOA are derived. The effect of the dot relaxation/escape lifetimes and energy separation between QD states on cross-gain modulation and crosstalk are also studied. Our calculations show that by reducing QD energy state separation, via engineering the dot size and composition, one can reduce the cross-gain modulation efficiency and reduce crosstalk in multi-channel QD-SOAs.

Theoretical studies on frequency doubling in glass optical fibers in constant-intensity approximation

Theoretical consideration of the second harmonic generation in the constant-intensity approximation with account of the inverse effect of the excited wave on a stimulation wave through account of the phase change of interaction waves is presented. The behavior of harmonic wave intensity in a fiber for different parameters of the problem has been studied, the self-action of the light both in glass optical fiber and inside the homogeneous medium has been analyzed. In this approximation a decrease of conversion efficiency and a change of parameters of the curves of synchronism versus the pump intensity, in particular, the change of positions of intensity minima that does not take place in the constant-field approximation, are observed. The propagation of a plane wave packet in the homogeneous medium with quadratic nonlinearity and in an optical fiber accompanied by the self-phase modulation and leading to the change of the Gaussian pulse spectrum is analyzed with account of the phase changes of all the interacting waves.
