Recent Progress of Wavelength Division Multiplexing Technology In Tera-bit/s Transoceanic Undersea Cable Systems

Transmission capacity for optical undersea cable systems is growing remarkably and a more than 500-fold increase has been achieved for commercial systems over the past 10 years. The first optical fiber cable in the Pacific Ocean went into service in 1989 and has a capacity of 280 Mbit/s per fiber pair. The emergence of an Erbium-doped fiber amplifier paved the way for a drastic capacity increase for these cables, and large capacity optical amplifier undersea cable systems with 5 Gbit/s per fiber pair were constructed worldwide in 1995-1996. Recent 10 Gbit/s-based wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technologies together with new fibers and new amplifiers have allowed a further increase in capacity up to 160 Gbit/s, and these WDM systems will begin commercial service in both the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean in 2000. Research interest is now being directed towards the development of undersea cable systems with a transmission capacity of 1 Tera-bit/s or more. This paper reviews the key technologies for next generation 160 Gbit/s optical undersea cable systems and recent progress towards Tera-bit/s systems. Dispersion managed soliton transmission for future higher bit rate WDM is also discussed.     

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.     

Transmission of 40 Gb/s × 8 WDM channels with 100 GHz spacing using short-period dispersion-managed fiber

We report on the 320 Gb/s (40 Gb/s × 8 channels) WDM transmission experiment using short-period dispersion-managed fiber. After 320-km transmission, the average Q-factor was measured to be better than 20.4 dB. In addition, we compared the performances of various types of fibers in 40-Gb/s based systems. The results show that the SPDMF was robust to both the intra-channel and inter-channel nonlinearities due to its small average dispersion and large local dispersion.     

Reduction of the fiber nonlinearity impairment using optical phase conjugation in 40 Gb/s CO-OFDM systems

In this paper, optical phase conjugation (OPC) located in the transmitter based on four wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is first simulated in 40 Gb/s CO-OFDM systems, and the fiber nonlinearity impairment of the transmission link is precompensated before OPC by transmission through a fiber with large nonlinearity coefficient. Simulation results show that the nonlinear threshold (NLT) can be increased by about > 3 dB and maximum Q factor can be increased by about 2 dB for the single-channel system. For 50-GHz-Spacing WDM systems, the maximum Q and NLT are increased by about 1 dB, even in the presence of cross phase modulation (XPM) from neighbouring WDM channels. It is found that this OPC subsystem located in the transmitter, not necessary to be inserted into the middle of link, can mitigate the fiber nonlinearity impairment for both single-channel and WDM systems.

A single phase conjugator is used to conjugate all data formats, including the alternative duobinary format, simultaneously.

We propose an approach to generate ultrawideband (UWB) pulses with tunable high-speed modulation based on pulse compression. Flexible generation of up to a record 5?Gbits/s on-off keying impulse radio UWB signals are successfully demonstrated as well. We also investigate 5?Gbits/s on-off keying bit-error-rate (BER) performance after 40?km single mode fiber transmission by employing a digital signal processing receiver, and the BER below forward error correction limit is achieved.     

Study on a Multiplexer a 40 Gb/s OTDM System

In a 4?0Gb/s OTDM system (optical time-division-multiplication) system, multiplexing devices are key devices. The time interval of four channels of the 40Gb/s OTDM system is 25ps respectively. If the time intervals are no accurate, will induce the system performance to degeneration. In order to make out OTDM device and carry out a transmission experiment in a 40Gb/s OTDM system, a kind of OTDM device is researched. This scheme be used to fabricate multiplex device. Also the device have been used to a 40Gb/s OTDM system. Our experimental results shows that, the multiplex device based on the six 1 optical fiber couplers can be used to multiple at a time domain.That make four 10Gb/s optical signals multiple to 40Gb/s. The time interval error of each of channels is not bigger than 1ps, inserted loss is smaller than 2dB.     

Impact of optical modulation formats on SPM-limited fiber transmission in 10 and 40 Gb/s optimum dispersion-managed lightwave systems

In this paper, 10 and 40 Gb/s optical systems have been investigated for nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ), return-to-zero (RZ), carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ) and RZ-differential phase-shift-keying (RZ-DPSK) data formats. For the range of the optical signal power from −5 to 15 dBm, a maximum self-phase modulation (SPM)-limited transmission distance L_SPM is determined with eye-opening penalty (EOP) >1 dB .The observations are based on the modeling and numerical simulation of optimum dispersion-managed transmission link. Transmission over distances of the order of several hundreds of kilometers has been shown with and without amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise of the in-line erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs).

Clock-distribution with instantaneous synchronization for 160 Gbit/s optical time-domain multiplexed systems packet transmission

We demonstrate for the first time, to our knowledge, a clock-distribution method for ultra-high-speed optical time-domain multiplexed systems data packets that provides instantaneous synchronization, fast locking/unlocking times, and a highly stable bursty clock, enabling error-free operation of 160 to 10 Gbit/s time demultiplexing with a power penalty of 1.5 dB after 51 km transmission in standard single-mode fiber (ITU G.652).     

Optical phase remodulation for Rayleigh noise mitigation in 10 Gb/s/channel WDM passive optical networks

We investigate the principles of optical phase remodulation and demonstrate its application in a future-proof10 Gb/s/channel wavelength-division-multiplexed(WDM) passive optical network to realize a colorless optical network unit and bidirectional transmission over a single fiber. The modulation depth of downstream differential phase-shift keying is properly reduced to facilitate phase remodulation and Rayleigh noise mitigation. For both downstream and upstream 10 Gb/s signals, error-free transmission via a 20 km single-mode fiber is demonstrated without dispersion compensation operation.

We demonstrate 740 Gbit/s (37 × 20 Gbit/s) DWDM recirculating transmission experiment with 59 nm continuous bandwidth over 300 km by employing Er3+-doped tellurite fiber amplifiers. The use of Raman amplification is effective to increase the transmission bandwidth.     

Comparison of conventional and dense dispersion managed systems for 160 Gb/s transmissions

In this paper, we carry out, by numerical simulations and experiments on recirculating loop, a comparative analysis of the performances of two types of dispersion management techniques for 160 Gb/s transmission systems, which correspond to short-period dispersion maps (dense dispersion management) and long-period dispersion maps (conventional dispersion management), respectively. We show that the dense dispersion management system suffers performance degradation by the effects of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and fiber splicing losses, in a more dramatic manner than in the system with long-period map. We experimentally find that, at constant PMD, dense dispersion managed system permits to achieve a transmission distance that is twice larger than that obtained with the conventional dispersion management; however, the polarization mode dispersion significantly reduces the gap between the transmission performances of the two types of systems.     

The 650-nm variable optical attenuator based on polymer/silica hybrid waveguide

Visible light variable optical attenuators(VOA) are essential devices in the application of channel power regulation and equalization in wavelength-division multiplexing cross-connect nodes in plastic optical fiber(POF) transmission systems.In this paper, a polymer/silica hybrid waveguide thermo–optic attenuator based on multimode interference(MMI) coupler is designed and fabricated to operate at 650 nm. The single-mode transmission condition, MMI coupler, and transition taper dimensions are optimized through the beam propagation method. Thermal analysis based on material properties provides the optimized heater placement angle. The fabricated VOA presents an attenuation of 26.5 dB with a 21-mW electrical input power at 650 nm. The rise time and fall time are 51.99 and 192 μs, respectively. The time–stability measurement results prove its working reliability.     

Optimal span length in high-speed transmission systems with hybrid Raman-erbium-doped fiber amplification

We show, using nonlinearity management, that the optimal performance in high-bit-rate dispersion-managed fiber systems with hybrid amplification is achieved for a specific amplifier spacing that is different from the asymptotically vanishing length corresponding to ideally distributed amplification [Opt. Lett. 15, 1064 (1990)]. In particular, we prove the existence of a nontrivial optimal span length for 40-Gbit/s wavelength-division transmission systems with Raman-erbium-doped fiber amplification. Optimal amplifier lengths are obtained for several dispersion maps based on commonly used transmission fibers.
