Temperature and metal composition dependence of lateral photovoltaic effect in Al-Alq3/SiO2/Si structures

By using PDM-OFDM-16QAM modulation, all-Raman amplification, coherent detection, and 7% forward error correction （FEC） threshold, we successfully demonstrate 63-Tb/s （368× 183.3-Gb/s） signal over 160- km standard single mode fiber （SSMF） transmission in the C- and L-bands with 25-GHz channel spacing. 368 optical channels with bandwidth spacing of 25 GHz are generated from 16 external cavity laser sources. After 160-km SSMF transmission, all tested bit error rate （BER） are under 3.8×10^-3, which can be recovered by 7% FEC threshold. Within each channel, we achieve the spectral efficiency of 6.85 bit/s/Hz in C/L band.     

A PMD-supported 100-Gb/s optical frequency-domain IM-DD transmission system

A novel method for distortion-free optical pulse transmission is theoretically proposed and simulated, in which two time lenses formed by dispersion fibers and quadratic phase modulations are utilized. One is used as an optical inverse Fourier transformation （OIFT） device to transform the initial time-domain data to frequency-domain one at the transmitter and the other as an optical Fourier transformation （OFT） device to recover the data at the receiver. By using the unchanged spectral envelope in linear optical fiber communication, the initial data can be recovered. Through simulations, a 10× 100 Gb/s intensity-modulated direct-detection （IM-DD） dense wavelength division multiplexing （DWDM） system over 20000 km transmission without the compensation for polarization mode dispersion （PMD） and dispersion slope is achieved, which can be used to upgrade the current 100Gb/s IM-DD system to a 100-Gb/s one directly.     

Electronic compensator for 100-Gb/s PDM-CO-OFDM long-haul transmission systems

We study an electronic compensator (EC) as a receiver for a 100-Gb/s polarization division multiplexing coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PDM-CO-OFDM) system without optical dispersion compensation.EC,including electrical dispersion compensation (EDC),least squares channel estimation and compensation (LSCEC),and phase compensation (PC),is used to compensate for chromatic dispersion (CD),phase noise,polarization mode dispersion (PMD),and channel impairments,respectively.Simulations show that EC is highly effective in compensating for those impairments and that the performance is close to the theoretical limitation of optical signal-to-noise rate (OSNR),CD,and PMD.Its robustness against those transmission impairments and fiber nonlinearity are also systematically studied.     

Performance evaluation for 160-Gb/s optical phase conjugation systems considering dispersion mapping and third-order dispersion

The impact of third-order dispersion (TOD) is investigated by numerical simulations in 160-Gb/s singlechannel systems incorporated with dispersion mapping and optical phase conjugation (OPC). System performances using retrun-to-zero (RZ) or carrier-suppressed RZ (CSRZ) modulation format are evaluated on the optimized dispersion map. The results indicate that even though TOD has been fully compensated,the intra-channel nonlinearity induced by local TOD would degrade the system performance in nonlinear regime. The scheme with an optimized dispersion map provides a much higher performance and offers a larger tolerance on a variation of pre-compensation. CSRZ modulation format is more robust due to its tradeoff between tolerances on intra-channel nonlinearity and dispersion.

Two-stage adaptive PMD compensation in 40-Gb/s OTDM optical communication system

An experiment of two-stage adaptive compensation for polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in a 40-Gb/s optical time-division multiplexed communication system is reported. The PMD monitoring technique based on degree of polarization was adopted. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was introduced in adaptive PMD compensation. The comparison was made to estimate the effectiveness between PSO algorithms with global neighborhood structure (GPSO) and with local neighborhood structure (LPSO).The LPSO algorithm is shown to be more effective to search global optimum for PMD compensation than GPSO algorithm. The two-stage PMD compensator is shown to be effective for both first- and second order PMD, and the compensator is shown to be bit rate independent. The optimum searching time is within one hundred milliseconds.

100-Gb/s undersea transmission with high spectral efficiency using pre-filtered QPSK modulation format

We provide a review of our recent 100-Gb/s, high spectral efficiency (SE) experiment targeting transoceanic and regional undersea transmission distances. We demonstrated that simple pre-filtering at the transmitter together with a maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) detection algorithm can significantly improve SE. We transmitted 96×100-Gb/s pre-filtered polarization division multiplexed return-to-zero quadrature phase shift keyed (PDM-RZ-QPSK) channels with 300% SE over 10608 km using 52-km spans of 150-μm 2 fiber and simple single-stage erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). We also achieved 400% SE over 4368 km using similar techniques.

A Clock Enhanced Loop for Simultaneous Error-Free Demultiplexing and Clock Recovery of 160Gb/s OTDM Signal Single-Channel Transmission over 100km

A simple clock enhanced loop of cascaded electro-absorption modulators （EAMs） and 10 GHz clock recovery modules is presented. The intensity of harmonic of clock-frequency component is analyzed theoretically and verified experimentally in a 160 Gb/s OTDM 100 km transmission system. The 10 GHz clock component is enhanced obviously before launching into the clock recovery module and the recovered clock signal exhibits low rms jitter of 〈400 fs. Moreover, completely error^-1free （10-12） transmission is observed for more than two hours without using forward error correction technology. The power penalty is about 3.6 dB. The proposed loop has merits of enhancing base clock component, simultaneously de-multiplexing and clock recovery, which make the performance of this loop more stable and high suppression of non-target channels.
