采用多重重要抽样方法,研究了受偏振模式色散和偏振相关损耗损伤的10 Gbit/s光通信系统的功率代价和失效概率.仿真结果表明,光滤波器对功率代价有重要影响.采用法布里-珀罗滤波器的系统比采用四阶高斯型滤波器的系统有更好的性能表现;发现功率代价通常随着啁啾因子的增大而增大,但当啁啾因子为0.5左右时,系统性能达到最好.仿真结果也表明,即使偏振模式色散和偏振相关损耗同时存在,DPSK系统比OOK系统有更强的PMD和PDL耐受性.     

Combined effect of PMD and PDL on four-wave-mixing-induced crosstalk in WDM system

We derive an explicit autocorrelation function (ACF) formula of state of polarization for a fiber transmission system with polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and polarization dependent loss (PDL), which is found to agree well with Monte Carlo simulation. Then we use the new ACF to investigate the combined effect of PMD and PDL on the polarization multiplexed scheme. We find the performance of the polarization multiplexed scheme can be deteriorated more severely than the case without PDL.     

Demonstration of PMD compensation by using a DSP-Based OPMDC prototype in a 43-Gb/s RZ-DQPSK, 1200 km DWDM transmission

This paper reports that the designed optical polarization mode dispersion compensator shows a good performance under the real-time variation of differential group delay, state of polarization and principal state of polarization in a (40 × 43)-Gb/s dense-wavelength-multiplexing, 1200-km enhanced return-to-zero differential-quadrature-phase-shift-keying (RZ-DQPSK) system.

Transmission performance of 10-Gb/s DPSK WDM signals due to phase-error and four-wave mixing in SOAs

We present a complete dynamic model of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) including the inter-channel four-wave mixing (FWM). The model has been implemented using the time-dependent transfer matrix method (TMM) and applying the discretization scheme in both the spatial and spectral domains. In SOA-based wavelength division multiplexing transmission systems using 10-Gb/s differential phase shift keyed (DPSK) signals, the system performance due to the SOA-induced phase-error and the FWM effect has been analyzed. By the injection of a reservoir channel into SOAs, the transmission performance of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) DPSK signals can be improved through the phase-error reduction. Both the NRZ-DPSK and return-to-zero (RZ) DPSK signals are found to be suffered from the FWM-induced crosstalk. The overall nonlinear tolerance of RZ-DPSK is shown to be better than that of NRZ-DPSK.     

A novel modulation format of 50% RZ polarization interleaved multiplexing DQPSK with high CD and polarization crosstalk tolerance in high-speed self-homodyne receiving system

We propose a novel modulation format of 50% RZ polarization interleaved multiplexing DQPSK for high-speed self-homodyne receiving systems. The proposed modulation format enables excellent tolerance of chromatic dispersion and polarization crosstalk. In self-homodyne receiving systems, the proposed format can reduce the cost of adaptive equalization module. It has potential applications in long-reach self-homodyne optical communication systems.     

System degradation due to phase error induced crosstalk in WDM optical networks employing arrayed waveguide grating multi/demultiplexer

The phase error induced crosstalk within arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) have been investigated theoretically as well as simulation. For WDM system, a crosstalk level of −21.9 dB causes a power penalty of 1 dB for 64 channels and less than 0.5 dB for 16 channels and 32 channels, respectively. For crosstalk level of −30 dB and below, the power penalty is negligible. Crosstalk due to phase error also causes higher power penalty at higher bit rate. Bit rate of 10, 20 and 40 Gbits/s causes power penalty of 1 dB with crosstalk level of −41.5, −46.25 and −49 dB, respectively.

Using RLS-TEQ to reduce CP length for 20.48 Gb/s direct-detection optical OFDM transmission over 2400 km of SSMF

This paper uses a Recursive Least Squares-Time Domain Equalizer (RLS-TEQ) to reduce the Cyclic Prefix (CP) length in Direct-Detection Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (O-OFDM) transmission over 2400 km of Standard Single Mode Fiber (SSMF). The RLS-TEQ can cancel the residual Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) caused by both the Group Velocity Dispersion (GVD) and the CP length being shorter than the Channel Impulse Response (CIR). Using RLS-TEQ reduces size of the CP, and consequently leading to system performance improvement.     

A model to characterize the effect of cross phase modulation on polarization in an optical fiber transmission system

This paper presents a model that described the process of inter-influence between cross phase modulation (XPM) and polarization effects such as polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and polarization dependant loss (PDL) in an optical fiber communication system. Previous papers have discussed PMD-PDL and PMD-XPM effects in separate models, but in this work we developed a model that is capable of characterizing and evaluating PMD, PDL and XPM simultaneously. From the model, we found that PMD and PDL can be affected by XPM. The presence of XPM changed the vector directions of PMD and PDL in Stokes space.     

Impact of a Post-OTDM-Demultiplexing Optical Filter on Dense OOK OTDM-WDM Transmission

The impact of a post-OTDM-demultiplexing optical filter on the performance of dense on-off keying (OOK) optical time division multiplexing (OTDM)—wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems was studied. For return-to-zero (RZ) modulation, it was found that the additional filter working in a double-tier filter configuration did not offer any significant improvements to performance when the signal pulse width is optimized. Improvements generally increase only when the signal pulse width deviates from its optimal value and only for low spectral densities. For ideal non-return-to-zero (NRZ) modulation, however, significant improvements of around 1 dB are obtained using the double-tier configuration over a large range of spectral densities.     

Impact of 2OD and 3OD on SRS- and XPM-induced crosstalk in SCM-WDM optical transmission link

In this paper, the impact of second-order dispersion (2OD), third-order dispersion (3OD) and modulation frequency over stimulated Raman scattering (SRS)- and cross-phase modulation (XPM)-induced crosstalk in sub-carrier-multiplexed (SCM) wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) transmission link has been analyzed. It has been observed that there is significant effect of 2OD, 3OD and modulation frequency on the SRS- and XPM-induced crosstalk in a SCM-WDM transmission link. Here the results for SRS- and XPM-induced crosstalk have been reported with independent and combined higher-order dispersion. It has been observed that XPM-induced crosstalk lies between [−52.8 to −45.3] and [−94.7 to −78.6] dB in the presence of 2OD and 3OD respectively for modulation frequencies varied from 500 MHz to 2.0 GHz, while it is in the range of [−94.4 to −84] and [−128.5 to −117] dB when both SRS and XPM are taken into consideration.

Amplification of 12 × 10 Gb/s WDM signals with negligible FWM crosstalk in a double-pumped fiber optical parametric amplifier

We report on the amplification of 12 × 10 Gb/s wavelength-division-multiplexed signals by a double-pumped fiber optic parametric amplifier (2P-FOPA). A gain of 10 dB is obtained using a 4.3 km-long conventional dispersion shifted fiber (DSF) as nonlinear medium. Our spectra show negligible generation of spurious FWM products, and we attribute this to the small variations of the zero-dispersion wavelength of the DSF. The 2P-FOPA performance is assessed through Q-factor measurements, and we show that for output powers per channel ranging from −15 to 3 dBm the power penalty is less than 0.5 dB.     

Analysis of polarization dependence for OTDM demultiplexers based on four-wavelength mixing in semiconductor optical amplifier

In optical time-division multiplexing (OTDM) systems using the four-wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) for time demultiplexing, the polarization states of control pulse and OTDM data lights are an important factor in the optical time demultiplexing process, which can influence the bit error rate (BER) of OTDM systems. In this paper, we analyze the effect of light polarization states on the FWM of a SOA, and use a simulation approach to study the BER performance of 100 Gbit/s OTDM systems that use the FWM in a SOA for optical time demultiplexing. It reveals that the BER or Q factor of OTDM systems is dependent on the misalignment θ between the polarization states of OTDM data and control lights. With increasing θ, both the optical power of resulting FWM component and the BER performance (or Q factor) of OTDM systems is degraded. For linearly polarized lights, our results show that the increase of BER and the reduction in Q factor are made smoothly when θ changes its value from 0° to 75°, whereas the degradation of BER and Q factor becomes rapid when θ exceeds 75°. Although the best system BER is obtained for θ = 0°, the BER performance can still tolerate some misalignment θ (e.g., up to 20° in our simulation). This is useful for the engineering design and applications of SOA-based optical time demultiplexers.

A deeper analysis of the second order polarization mode dispersion in optical communications systems

This article presents a new approach to the combined analysis of the first and second-order polarization mode dispersion (SOPMD) and shows their importance in optical communication systems performance. How it affects the relation between second-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and the differential group delay (DGD) in a single mode fiber is discussed. The analysis is based on time or wavelength and temperature variations changing/impacting PMD and DGD measured values. We present long term statistical characteristics of second-order PMD over a PMD emulator, and investigate the correlation between SOPMD, depolarization (DEP) and polarization dependent chromatic dispersion (PCD). Some authors calculate these modes from measurements obtained from the first order polarization mode dispersion, assuming a positive correlation between these effects, but this not the real relationship between them. A new interpretation of SOPMD was used to analyze the problem of the spectral stability in terms of the temperature. Actual techniques for determination SOPMD, consequently DEP and PCD, use the variation in time and/or wavelength. In some studies the results obtained for SOPMD are correlated to first-order PMD (FOPMD). This paper shows, based on measurements, that the correlation between first and second order Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) in the case where the last one is a function of the temperature can assume positive or negative values.     

Notes on use of strict optical orthogonal codes to design unequal channel spacing (UCS) frequency sequences for DWDM systems with reduced FWM crosstalk

A paper [E. Mutafungwa et al., Optics Communications 198 (4) (2001) 339] reported the use of strict optical orthogonal codes (S-OOC’s) to reduce the four-wave mixing (FWM) crosstalk in dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems by using our S-OOC based unequal channel spacing (UCS) scheme and our special frequency sequences constructed, without referring to the original work. Some mistakes and inaccuracies are identified in the published paper regarding interpretation of S-OOC and its associated UCS scheme, which can cause the confusion of understanding the key concepts and principle about the S-OOC based UCS scheme. As a result, in this paper we present the necessary corrections and notes which deal with the major expressions and key concepts of both S-OOC’s and our proposed scheme. In doing so, the mapping of a S-OOC sequence to the UCS frequency set is appropriately interpreted, and the characteristics of S-OOC based UCS schemes are described. Moreover, the correct evaluation of optical bandwidths is presented for DWDM systems using S-OOC based UCS schemes, and the comparison of the repeated-codeword assignments with the overlapping-codeword assignments is also carried out. Furthermore, we discuss the effect of fractional-slot occupation for frequency assignments on the bandwidth expansion of UCS-DWDM systems. These in turn can lead to correctly understanding the principles of S-OOC based UCS schemes and applying them to assign the UCS frequencies to DWDM systems for the reduction of FWM crosstalk.
