8 × 10 Gb/s transmission system over 2 015 km with dispersion compensation by fiber Bragg Grating

The cascaded chirp fiber Bragg gratings（CFBGs） with ITU-T standard wavelengths and wavelength grid are applied to compensate the dispersion of 8×10 Gb/s WDM system. The ASE of the EDFA could be reduced, the OSNR of the transmitted signal can be increased and the fluctuation of the EDFA gain can be restrained in a certain scope by the CFBG employed in the system. Experiment of error-free 8×10 Gb/s 2015 km transmission without FEC and electric regeneration is demonstrated in this paper. In this system, only EDFA is used as amplifier,and no other form of dispersion compensator is adopted except CFBG. The experimental result showed that after 2 015 km transmission,the consistency of the dispersion compensating for each channel is perfect.     

Design of Dispersion Compensation and Nonlinear Distortion Self-compensation in Co-network Transmission Systems

Dispersion and nonlinear distortion have an effect on transmission performances of optical fiber transimission systems,The schemes of dispersion compensation and nonlinear distortion self-compensation in telecom-CATV co-network transmission systems are reported,followed by investigation on (1) the impact of dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) on fiber nonlinear effects with a cascade of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) and different dispersion compensation schemes,(2) the impact of the complex on the total nonlinear distortion induced by EDFA gain tilt and the light source.As a result,dispersion compensation optimal scheme and EDFA negative gain tilt are suggested as a solution to dispersion compensation optimal scheme and EDFA negative gain tilt are suggested as a solution to dispersion compensation and the nonlinear distortion self-compensation.     

An AWG-based 10 Gbit/s colorless WDM-PON system using a chirp-managed directly modulated laser

We propose an arrayed waveguide grating(AWG)-based 10 Gbit/s per channel full duplex wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network(WDM-PON).A chirp managed directly modulated laser with return-to-zero(RZ) differential phase shift keying(DPSK) modulation technique is utilized for downlink(DL) direction,and then the downlink signal is re-modulated for the uplink(UL) direction using intensity modulation technique with the data rate of 10 Gbit/s per channel.A successful WDM-PON transmission operation with the data rate of 10 Gbit/s per channel over a distance of 25 km without any optical amplification or dispersion compensation is demonstrated with low power penalty.     

Performance of terahertz channel with multiple input multiple output techniques

Terahertz (THz) communication is being considered as a potential solution to mitigate the demand for high bandwidth. The characteristic of THz band is relatively different from present wireless channel and imposes technical challenges in the design and development of communication systems. Due to the high path loss in THz band, wireless THz communication can be used for relatively short distances. Even, for a distance of few meters (>5m), the absorption coefficient is very high and hence the performance of the system is poor. The use of multiple antennas for wireless communication systems has gained overwhelming interest during the last two decades. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Spatial diversity technique has been exploited in this paper to improve the performance in terahertz band. The results show that the Bit Error Rate (BER) is considerably improved for short distance (<5m) with MIMO. However, as the distance increases, the improvement in the error performance is not significant even with increase in the order of diversity. This is because, as distance increases, in some frequency bands the signal gets absorbed by water vapor and results in poor transmission. Adaptive modulation scheme is implemented to avoid these error prone frequencies. Adaptive modulation with receiver diversity is proposed in this work and has improved the BER performance of the channel for distance greater than 5m.     

Computationally Efficient Nonlinearity Compensation for Coherent Fiber-Optic Systems

Split-step digital backward propagation (DBP) can be combined with coherent detection to compensate for fiber nonlinear impairments.A large number of DBP steps is usually needed for a long-haul fiber system,and this creates a heavy computational load.In a trade-off between complexity and performance,interchannel nonlinearity can be disregarded in order to simplify the DBP algorithm.The number of steps can also be reduced at the expense of performance.In periodic dispersion-managed long-haul transmission systems,optical waveform distortion is dominated by chromatic dispersion.As a result,the nonlinearity of the optical signal repeats in every dispersion period.Because of this periodic behavior,DBP of many fiber spans can be folded into one span.Using this distance-folded DBP method,the required computation for a transoceanic transmission system with full inline dispersion compensation can be reduced by up to two orders of magnitude with negligible penalty.The folded DBP method can be modified to compensate for nonlinearity in fiber links with non-zero residual dispersion per span.     

An IIR adaptive electronic equalizer for polarization multiplexed fiber optic communication systems

An electronic digital equalizer for polarization multiplex coherent fiber optic communication systems is designed to compensate polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and residual chromatic dispersion (CD) of transmission channel. The proposed equalizer is realized with fraction spaced infinite impulse response (IIR) butterfly structure with 21 feedforward taps and 2 feedback taps. Compared with finite impulse response (FIR) structure, this structure can reduce implementation complexity of hardware under the same condition. To keep track of the random variation of channel characteristics, the filter weights are updated by least mean square (LMS) algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed equalizer can compensate residual chromatic dispersion (CD) of 1600 ps/nm and differential group delay (DGD) of 90 ps simultaneously, and also can increase the PMD and residual CD tolerance of the whole communication system.     

PSO-based Control Algorithm for Polarization Mode Dispersion Self-adaptive Compensation

Polarization mode dispersion（PMD） is considered to be the ultimate limitation in high-speed optical fiber communication systems. Establishing an effective control algorithm for adaptive PMD compensation is a challenging task, because PMD possesses the time-varying and statistical properties. The particle swarm optimization（PSO） algorithm is introduced into self-adaptive PMD compensation as feedback control algorithm. The experiment results show that PSO-based control algorithm has some unique features of rapid convergence to the global optimum without being trapped in local sub-optima and good robustness to noise in the optical fiber transmission line that has never been achieved in PMD compensation before.     

Large PMD Compensated by Four Free Degrees in OTDM System

By introducing a two-stage polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensator after a optical fiber link with a large PMD,over 270 ps first-order and 2 000 ps2 high-order PMD was compensated. The results show that the two-stage compensator can be used to PMD compensation in the 20 Gb/s optical time division multiplexing system with 60 km high PMD fiber. After compensating, the 270 ps DGD is changed into max. 7 ps. Moreover,the tunable FBG has a function of dispersion compensation.     

A novel single-polarization single-mode photonic crystal fiber with circular and elliptical air-holes arrays

A novel single-polarization single-mode photonic crystal fiber (SPSM-PCF) with circular and elliptical air-holes is proposed. The characteristics of the proposed SPSM-PCF are investigated by using a full-vector finite element method (FEM) with perfect matched layer (PML) boundary conditions. The results show that the SPSM operation is achieved with wider band, and the total dispersion profile of the SPSM-PCF is dispersion-flattened from 1.193 μm to 1.384 μm. This dispersion property makes the proposed SPSM-PCF useful for various applications, such as optical transmission and dispersion compensation for conventional fiber at long wavelength band with 500 nm negative dispersion region. It indicates that this is a good solution to realize broadband SPSM operation.     

Multichannel Adaptive Polarization Mode Dispersion Compensation with One Compensator in Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Transmission Systems

A simple two-section polarization mode dispersion(PMD) compensator is proposed for multichannel PMD compensation, which can compensate two or even more channels simultaneously. Because of the statistical characteristics and the frequency-dependence of PMD, for current single mode fiber with moderate PMD, the probability that all channels are severely degraded at the same time is extremely small, which makes it possible to compensate a dense wavelength division multiplexing(DWDM) transmission system with moderate PMD using this compensator. It is shown that the outage probability of a 40×43 Gb/s DWDM transmission system using this compensator is decreased significantly from 3.6×10-3 to 3.6×10-5.

By optimizing the fabrication process of the chirped optical fiber Bragg grating (CFBG), some key problems of CFBG are solved, such as fabrication repetition, temperature stability, group delay ripple (GDR), fluctuation of the reflection spectrum, polarization mode dispersion (PMD), interaction of cascaded CFBG, and so on. The CFBG we fabricated can attain a temperature coefficient less than 0.0005 nm/℃, and the smoothed GDR and the fluctuation of the reflection spectrum are smaller than 10ps and 0.5dB, respec-tively. The PMD of each CFBG is less than 1 ps and the dispersion of each grating is larger than -2600 ps/(nm·km). With dispersion compensated by the CFBGs we fabricated, a 13×10 Gbit/s 3100 km ultra long G.652 fiber transmission system is successfully imple-mented without electric regenerator. The bit error rate (BER) of the system is below 10-4 without forward error correction (FEC); when FEC is added, the BER is below 10-12. The power penalty of the carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ) code transmission system is only 2.5 dB.

The characteristics of chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs) are optimized so that the ripple coefficient of the power reflectivity spectrum and group time delay are less than 1 dB and |± 15| ps, group delay is about 2600 ps/nm, polarization module dispersion is very small, PMD<2 ps, -3 dB bandwidth is about 0.35 nm, and insertion loss is about 4-5 dBm. Using dispersion compensation CFBG, a 2500 km-10 Gbps RZ optical signal transmission system on G.652 fiber was successfully demonstrated without an electric regenerator by optimizing dispersion management and loss management. The RZ optical signal was generated through a two-stage modulation method. At 2081 km, the power penalty of transmission is about 3 dB (conditions: RZ signal, BER = 10-12, PRBS = 1023 - 1); At 2560 km, the power penalty is about 5 dB. It is superior to the system using NRZ under the same conditions.

Chromatic dispersion compensation in coherent opticalcommunications

Chromatic dispersion compensation techniques in coherent transmission systems are reviewed and discussed for potential feasibility. The key compensation device is the wideband delay equalizer. It is shown that stripline-type delay equalizers have the potential for compensating distortion up to 10 Gb/s using a conventional 1.3-μm zero-dispersion single-mode fiber at 1.5 μm. Chromatic dispersion is successfully compensated with a stripline delay for CPFSK transmission at 4 and 6 Gb/s over 200 km of 1.3-μm zero-dispersion single-mode fiber at 1.55 μm. The bandwidth requirement of the compensation techniques for heterodyne detection is more than 10 GHz. However, it is difficult to realize such broadband receivers. Therefore, phase diversity detection with dispersion compensation is a promising scheme
