The properties of a GaAs-GaAlAs traveling-wave laser amplifier

In this paper, the use of an optical fiber-based fixed infrastructure for code division multiple access (CDMA) mobile networks is considered. One of the major problems associated with optical subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) is the nonlinearity of the laser diodes (LD). The LD is modeled by a memoryless nonlinearity, and the effect of the nonlinearity on the SCM transmission of CDMA signals is evaluated. The behavior departs significantly from what happens in frequency division multiple access (FDMA), and depends critically on the nonlinearity being compressing or expanding. In the former case, significant performance degradation may occur, whereas for the latter this is usually not dramatic. When compared against FDMA, the major advantage of CDMA comes from the tight power control function that must be built in such systems, which means that situations of a weak signal corrupted by strong signals do not occur, unlike what happens in FDMA.

Polarization insensitive wavelength conversion based on dual-pump four-wave mixing for polarization multiplexing signal in SOA

We have theoretically investigated polarization insensitive all-optical wavelength conversion for polarization multiplexing signal based on dual-pump four-wave mixing (FWM) in a SOA. The simulation result shows that the polarization insensitive converted signal can be separated into two lightwaves without crosstalk when one of the two orthogonal data lightwaves is parallel with one pump and the SOA should be polarization insensitive. Several conditions which affect the conversion efficiency for polarization multiplexing signal are also discussed.     

Enabling technologies for SCM basedoptically fed wireless communication systems

Basic configurations and system requirements for subcarrier multiplexing (SCM)-based optically fed wireless communication systems are summarized. The key issues for their fast deployment are improving performance and reducing the initial introduction cost. Major enabling technologies are introduced such as development of highly linear LDs, the multiple-LD method to improve carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR), super wideband frequency modulation to obtain a large power margin, and low-cost feeder design with a Fabry–Perot LD and multimode fiber. The introduction of optical feeders, which will increase the flexibility of the wireless system, is inevitable for providing multimedia services.     

Simultaneous four channel wavelength conversion of 50Gbps CSRZ–DPSK signals in S and C bands using HNLF without additional pump signals

Optical wavelength conversion is expected to be an important technique for future advanced dense wavelength division multiplexing systems. It enhances wavelength routing capabilities, improves network reconfigurability and eliminating the problem associated with wavelength reuse in network. Here, simultaneous 50Gbps four channel wavelength conversion is established in S and C bands of ITU grid using four wave mixing (FWM) technique in high nonlinear fiber (HNLF) without additional pump signals. Since the four channel wavelength conversion is to be performed, the frequency spacing between the pairs of signal in S and C bands should be maintained in order to avoid the signal degradation by the effect of higher order FWM. Thereby the best frequency spacing between the pairs of signals in S and C bands is estimated to maintain good BER over the wavelength converted signals of both bands. So the selected frequency spacing between the pairs fulfills the freedom of selecting any frequency spacing within a pair of wavelengths in S and C band signals. It is also shown that CSRZ–DPSK modulated input signal enhances the BER of wavelength converted signals over the RZ–DPSK. In addition to this, uniform wavelength conversion over a wide bandwidth with a reduced length of HNLF is achieved and also the best power range is estimated to obtain good conversion efficiency.

The input bits and the control input are intensity-modulated signal of two specific frequencies suitable for optical communication in the C band of wavelength. The device can distinguish negative and positive results and controlled operation are most promising in this proposal. The use of semiconductor optical amplifiers along with frequency encoding makes the system very fast and useful for future optical communication and computation systems.

Performance investigation on harmonic distortion and inter-modulation distortion induced degradation for a single- and two-tone IM-DD SCM optical link

Subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) has been utilized for data transmission in high performance broadband in access networks which requires high transport capacity and throughput with guaranteed quality of service. In a transmitter employing SCM technique in an Intensity Modulation Direct Detection (IM-DD) system, laser source nonlinearity is an important issue of concern. This work investigates the sensitivity of resulting harmonic distortion (HD) and inter-modulation distortion (IMD) to changes in subcarrier amplitude, laser bias current operational parameters and laser quantum efficiency, laser active layer volume and laser carrier life time design parameters. Results show that IMD impairment mechanism is more dominant than HD mechanism. The spectrum analyser shows distinct difference in the frequency domain display of HD and IMD dominated systems. HD and IMD mechanisms show high sensitivity to carrier amplitude and active layer volume with a positively increasing slope gradient and high sensitivity to bias current and carrier life time with negatively decreasing slope gradients. Also these impairments are moderately sensitive to laser quantum efficiency. The investigations will help in identification of the most influencing operational and design parameters and their suitable values to be used to effectively reduce the influence of the source nonlinearity of SCM links.     

Investigation on inter-modulation products (IMPs) for IM-DD SCM optical links

The implementation of the subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) as the signaling format has been extensively researched in various analog and digital lightwave based broadband applications because of its promising versatility, cost effectiveness, convenient and simple offerings. However performance degradation is a matter of serious concern in such multi-channel intensity modulation-direct detection (IM-DD) systems caused by inter-modulation distortion (IMD) mechanism. In this paper the impact of key operational and physical parameters of a laser source on an IMD dominated two-tone IM-DD SCM system has been investigated which can thereby be exploited favorably to develop a reasonably IMD immune optical link.     

A long-reach WDM passive optical network enabling broadcasting service with centralized light source

We propose a long-reach wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) passive optical network (PON) to provide conventional point-to-point (P2P) data and downstream broadcasting service simultaneously by superimposing, for each WDM channel, the differential-phase-shift-keying (DPSK) broadcasting signal with the subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) modulated downstream P2P signal, at the optical line terminal (OLT). In the optical network units (ONUs), by re-modulating part of the downstream signal with a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA), we realize color-less ONUs for upstream data transmission. The proposed scheme is numerically verified with a 5 Gb/s downstream P2P signal and broadcasting services, as well as 2.5 Gb/s upstream data through a 60 km bidirectional fiber link. In particular, the influence of the downstream lightwave's optical carrier–subcarrier ratio (OCSR) on the system performance is also investigated.     

Adaptive frequency domain pre-equalization for white-LED nonlinearity in OFDM-based visible light communication systems

In visible light communication, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) is an effective approach to improve the system speed. However, the nonlinearity of the light-emitting diode(LED) suppresses the transmission performance. The low-frequency part of the transmitted signal from LED suffers more from nonlinearity.Therefore, a pre-equalization scheme which suppresses the low frequency part of the OFDM signal and enhances the high frequency part can decrease the impact of LED nonlinearity. The experimental results show that the bit-error rate performance is largely enhanced by the pre-compensation.     

光纤光栅法布里-珀罗传感器频分复用技术

理论分析了光纤光栅法布里-珀罗(F-P)传感器频分复用技术的原理,并给出了信号处理对腔长选取的要求。数值模拟结果表明,不同腔长的传感器具有不同的谐振条纹频率,为保证频域中的信号不发生重叠,要求不同光纤光栅法布里-珀罗传感器间的腔长之差必须大于光纤光栅的长度。进一步的实验及模拟分析结果发现,温度等待测量的变化仅仅使光纤光栅法布里-珀罗传感器的反射光谱整体平移,相应的频域信号只产生相移而形状不发生变化,因而不能采用普通光纤法布里-珀罗(FFP)传感器的腔长傅里叶变换解调法解调频分复用光纤光栅法布里-珀罗传感器的信号。根据这一特点,提出了利用自相关分析实现频分复用传感器系统信号解调的方案。

Experimental demonstration of subcarrier multiplexed quantum key distribution system

We provide, to our knowledge, the first experimental demonstration of the feasibility of sending several parallel keys by exploiting the technique of subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) widely employed in microwave photonics. This approach brings several advantages such as high spectral efficiency compatible with the actual secure key rates, the sharing of the optical fainted pulse by all the quantum multiplexed channels reducing the system complexity, and the possibility of upgrading with wavelength division multiplexing in a two-tier scheme, to increase the number of parallel keys. Two independent quantum SCM channels featuring a sifted key rate of 10 Kb/s/channel over a link with quantum bit error rate <2% is reported.     

A novel optical picosecond-duration NRZ-to-RZ format converter with simultaneous wavelength multicasting using a single-stage Mach–Zehnder modulator

We propose a novel and simple scheme to achieve NRZ-to-RZ format conversion and simultaneous wavelength multicasting based on a single-stage dual-arm electro-optic Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM) and a short single mode fiber (SMF). The format conversion and wavelength multicast process are achieved by chirp compensation under the condition of generation of optical flat frequency comb. 40 Gb/s NRZ-to-RZ conversion with one-to-five multiple-wavelength channel multicasting and transmission of the NRZ and the converted signals over 200 km dispersion-managed fiber-link are successfully demonstrated by numerical simulation. Research results show that 40 Gb/s 2 ps RZ signal with wavelength-preserving can be obtained after format conversion. The converted RZ signal presents good transmission performance and can easily be multiplexed to 160 Gb/s using optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) technology. All the multicast channels can be error free after 50 km transmission. Besides, the conversion operation can also greatly reduce the timing jitter of the degraded NRZ signal due to the retiming function of the proposed scheme.
