Design theory of long-distance optical transmission systems usingmidway optical phase conjugation

This paper describes the basic system principle, the residual waveform distortion, the optimal design method, the ultimate transmission capacity, and its future improvement of the long-distance optical fiber transmission system using midway optical phase conjugation. We show that the periodic power variation in an optical amplifier chain and the dispersion value fluctuation from span to span along the system cause imperfect compensation for waveform distortion in the midway optical phase conjugation system. The optimal design method for suppressing the residual waveform distortion is proposed and confirmed by using computer simulations     

Feasibility of 100-Gb/s 10000-km single-channel opticaltransmission by midway optical phase conjugation incorporated withthird-order dispersion compensation

In optical phase conjugation systems, the third-order dispersion of fibers almost linearly accumulates along the transmission distance, and the distortion induced from the third-order dispersion can be perfectly compensated by using a linear third-order dispersion compensator placed at any point of the system. We demonstrate by numerical simulations that 100-Gb/s single-channel transmission can be achieved over a 10000-km distance in midway optical phase conjugation transmission systems by compensating the third-order dispersion     

Cancellation of the signal fading for 60 GHz subcarrier multiplexedoptical DSB signal transmission in nondispersion shifted fiber usingmidway optical phase conjugation

In millimeter-wave (mm-wave) optical double sideband (DSB) signal transmission systems, the received radio frequency (RF) power fades periodically because of the group velocity dispersion (GVD) and the self-phase modulation (SPM) of optical fibers. In this paper, cancellation of the signal fading by using midway optical phase conjugation in mm-wave subcarrier multiplexed (SCM) optical DSB signal is analyzed. Fading-free 60 GHz mm-wave optical DSB signal transmission over 100 km-long nondispersion shifted single-mode fiber at 1550 nm by using a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) optical phase conjugator (OPC) in the midway of optical link is experimentally demonstrated for the first time. Finally, the degradation factor of the OPC system is also discussed     

Compensation for the self-steepening effects in optical fiber communication system using midway optical phase conjugation

Effects of self-steepening (SS) of chirped Gaussian pulses on optical fiber communication system using midway optical phase conjugation (OPC) are analyzed. Dynamic evolution of the ultrashort pulses is simulated numerically. It is found that OPC cannot compensate for pulse waveform distortion due to SS.The initial chirp of pulses and dispersion can counteract SS and improve the compensation performance for the distortion.

自陡峭效应对相位共轭系统脉冲传输的影响

光学相位共轭(OPC)技术能够同时且高效地补偿光纤传输过程中色散及非线性效应所导致的信号失真，且该技术同脉冲调制方式无关。从理论上分析了在自陡峭效应(SS)作用下高斯脉冲信号在中距相位共轭系统中的传输演化特性，数值模拟了在其作用下超短飞秒高斯脉冲的动态传输过程，讨论了自陡峭效应对中距相位共轭系统复原性能的影响。结果表明自陡峭效应将导致高斯脉冲信号发生峰值漂移和脉冲后沿变陡，相位共轭系统不能补偿由此导致的脉冲失真和畸变。引入合适的色散可以减小这种信号失真，并使得相位共轭系统能够同时补偿由于色散、自相位调制和自陡峭效应而引起的信号失真。

Transmission of 2-ps optical pulses at 1550 nm over 40-km standardfiber using midspan optical phase conjugation in semiconductor opticalamplifiers

We demonstrate transmission of 2-ps optical pulses at 1550 nm over 40 km of standard fiber by employing midspan optical phase conjugation in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). The second-order group-velocity dispersion of the fiber is completely compensated and the third-order dispersion becomes a major transmission limitation. This experiment shows that the midspan optical phase conjugation system using SOAs is applicable to ultrahigh bit rates greater than 100 Gb/s

Polarization-preserving phase conjugation and temporal reversal ofan arbitrarily-polarized pulsed optical signal by means oftime-and-space-domain holography

Polarization-preserving phase conjugation of an arbitrarily-polarized multiple-pulse optical signal by using a modified scheme of time-and-space-domain holography is predicted theoretically and demonstrated experimentally. The experimental results obtained by utilizing octaethylporphin-doped polystyrene at 1.8 K as a spectrally-selective recording material indicate that in full accordance with the theory, the reconstructed phase-conjugated replicas of the multiple-pulse optical signal appear temporally reversed and have conjugated wavefronts while the original temporal and spatial dependence of the polarization state is restored. Thus, complete phase conjugation of an optical signal is demonstrated

Optimal design of multistage discrete Raman amplifiers incorporating midway isolators

Multistage discrete Raman amplifiers with midway isolators to suppress double Rayleigh backscattering are fully investigated at constant nonlinearity. The results show that placing Raman pumps at the last stage only is sufficient. For most conditions, two isolators can achieve adequate performance improvement, while more isolators only lead to slightly optical signal-to-noise ratio increase. The optimum positions of the isolators are insensitive to varied Raman gains, nonlinear phase shifts, and Rayleigh coefficients, but sensitive to different fiber lengths as well as Raman pumping schemes. Moreover, backward-pumping schemes can derive better noise performance than bidirectional pumping when using midway isolators.     

Simultaneous Cancellation of Fiber Loss, Dispersion, and Kerr Effect in Ultralong-Haul Optical Fiber Transmission by Midway Optical Phase Conjugation Incorporated With Distributed Raman Amplification

An alternative application of distributed Raman amplification (DRA) for ultralong-haul optical fiber transmission is proposed. In our study, the DRA is employed in a transmission system using midway optical phase conjugation (OPC) for amplifying an optical signal and, at the same time, for constructing signal power evolution, which is symmetrical with respect to the midpoint of the system where the OPC is performed. Then, the nonlinear signal waveform distortions that are caused by the Kerr effect, as well as fiber dispersion, are almost completely compensated by the OPC, whereas the fiber loss is compensated by the DRA. Three possible symmetrical signal power maps - a power map that has a reverse sign of the power map that is caused by lump amplification, a flat signal power map, and an arbitrary symmetrical signal power map - are numerically designed by using appropriate Raman pump powers. We show that the flat power map exhibits smaller difference from the target and a higher optical signal-to-noise ratio and requires lower pump power than the other two power maps. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that, by employing the flat power maps with a span of 40 km, a single-wavelength signal whose data rate is 160 Gb/s can be successfully transmitted over 5000 km, and the Kerr effect is sufficiently suppressed near limitation due to the nonlinear accumulation of noise. Finally, we study the feasibility of expanding our method to wavelength-division-multiplexed signal transmission by designing a DRA gain with multiple-wavelength pumping to simultaneously obtain a flat power map and a wide-and-flat gain bandwidth. By using four-wavelength Raman pumps while carefully choosing pump wavelengths and their powers, we achieve the DRA gain that simultaneously gives a fluctuation of the signal power of only 3.5%, a gain ripple of only 5.3%, and, at the same time, a gain bandwidth of as wide as 46 nm.
