Origin and System Effects of Polarization Mode Dispersion in Chirped Bragg Gratings

Polarization mode dispersion of chirped Bragg gratings is analyzed in terms of key birefringence phenomena and impact on telecommunication systems performance. The influence on polarization mode dispersion (PMD) of fiber birefringence, grating chromatic dispersion, and ripples of the group delay curve is pointed out. Polarization mode dispersion influence on systems performance is investigated by numerical simulations and transmission experiments at 10 Gbit/s. The deterministic nature of Bragg gratings PMD determines a moderate, upper-limited system penalty for a transmission line employing a single compensating device. However, in the case of broadband components, a non-negligible PMD penalty may be observed due to the difficulty of controlling accurately the group delay linearity.

Field Measurements of Polarization Mode Dispersion

Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) measurements are presented for a sample of installed optical fibers. High PMD values are fairly common, with 9 of the 71 fibers having PMD coefficients above 0.3 ps km1 2. The results are analyzed in terms of the age of the fibers and the type of cabling. Measurements are presented for a number of concatenated fiber links, and the results show that the PMD value of the link is approximately equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the PMD values of the individual fibers.     

单模光纤中偏振模色散的仿真模型

利用琼斯矩阵法研究了长单模光纤中偏振模色散的仿真模型.考虑到偏振模色散的随机性,该模型中单模光纤被看作是一系列短双折射光纤段的级联,相邻两段之间耦合角是随机的.研究结果表明,当短双折射光纤段等长时,偏振模色散呈现随波长周期性变化的特点;不符合实际情况.当短双折射光纤段不等长且服从高斯分布时,周期性逐渐消失;当其长度均方差为均值的20%,周期性完全消失.最后比较了偏振模色散的时域统计特性.取短双折射光纤段的长度服从高斯分布且均方差为均值的20%,偏振模色散的统计特性接近于实际分布.因此得出结论:为了正确估计偏振模色散的影响,在单模光纤的级联模型中,短双折射光纤段的长度应服从高斯分布,均方差为其均值的20%.

Polarization Control with Piezoelectric and LiNbO3 Transducers

Several Polarization control transducers have appeared on the market, and now automated, endless polarization control systems using these transducers are becoming available. Unfortunately it is not entirely clear what benchmark performance tests a polarization control system must pass, and the polarization disturbances a system must handle are open to some debate. We present quantitative measurements of realistic polarization disturbances and two benchmark tests we have successfully used to evaluate the performance of an automated, endless polarization control system. We use these tests to compare the performance of a system using piezoelectric transducers to that of a system using LiNbO3 transducers.

Performance limitations of an optical heterodyne CPFSK transmission system due to self-phase modulation

A detailed theoretical analysis is presented to evaluate the combined influence of self-phase modulation (SPM) and group velocity dispersion (GVD) of optical fiber on the bit error rate (BER) performance of a heterodyne optical CPFSK system. The power penalty suffered by the system due to the combined influence of GVD and SPM is evaluated from the BER performance results. It is found that the penalty due to SPM at a BER of 10⁻⁹ is significant when the input power exceeds 7 dBm. Further, the CPFSK system with modulation index of 0.5 is less sensitive to the effects of GVD and SPM compared to the system with a modulation index of 1. The theoretical results are in conformity with the experimental results reported earlier.
