Maximizing capacity,flexibility and efficiency in G-PON networks using VCSEL-based OOK and 2/4-PAM formats

This work experimentally demonstrates the potential of multi-level pulse amplitude modulation with direct detection to maximize carrier spectral efficiency and double the Gigabit passive optical networks (G-PON) network data rate. Three scenarios have experimentally been exploited. First, a 1310?nm vertical surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) has directly been modulated with a 10?Gbps OOK data. A receiver sensitivity of ?19.11?dBm is attained, and a successful error free transmission over 22?km SMF fibre achieved, with a transmission penalty of 0.46?dB. To maximize carrier spectral efficiency, 2/4 PAM modulation formats are adopted respectively. A receiver sensitivity of ?14.64 and ?11.63?dBm is attained for 2-PAM and 4-PAM formats respectively. However, a 3.21?km fibre transmission introduces a penalty of 0.64 and 3.30?dB for 2-PAM and 4-PAM formarts respectively. 2/4-PAM modulation formats significantly increase the aggregated data rate at different ONUs within the G-PON without expensive optics investment, though at the cost of reduced transmission reach due to the high bitrate attained. We further demonstrate the design of a software defined digital signal processing assisted receiver to recover the 2/4 PAM transmitted signal without employing costly receiver hardware.     

Average BER performance of FSO SIM-QAM systems in the presence of atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors

This paper presents the exact average bit error rate (BER) analysis of the free-space optical system employing subcarrier intensity modulation (SIM) with Gray-coded quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The intensity fluctuations of the received optical signal are caused by the path loss, atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors. The exact closed-form analytical expressions for the average BER are derived assuming the SIM-QAM with arbitrary constellation size in the presence of the Gamma–Gamma scintillation. The simple approximate average BER expressions are also provided, considering only the dominant term in the finite summations of obtained expressions. Derived expressions are reduced to the special case when optical signal transmission is affected only by the atmospheric turbulence. Numerical results are presented in order to illustrate usefulness of the derived expressions and also to give insights into the effects of different modulation, channel and receiver parameters on the average BER performance. The results show that the misalignment between the transmitter laser and receiver detector has the strong effect on the average BER value, especially in the range of the high values of the average electrical signal-to-noise ratio.     

Performance of a QAM/FSO communication system employing spatial diversity in weak and saturation turbulence channels

In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) performance and outage probability of quadrature amplitude modulation free space optical (QAM/FSO) communications with spatial diversity in turbulent environments are investigated. The equal-gain combining (EGC) and selection combining (SelC) diversity techniques are considered to mitigate turbulence-induced signal fading in the proposed system. The average BER and outage probability expressions are derived for EGC diversity in weak and saturation turbulence channels. The results indicate that using EGC diversity can significantly improve the system performance compared to employing the SelC diversity or single monolithic aperture schemes. Specifically, approximately 4 and 9?dB lower signal-to-noise power ratios are required for the 1?×?4 EGC diversity system than for the 1?×?4 SelC and non-diversity systems at a BER of 10^?10. In addition, the use of diversity techniques also significantly decreases the outage probability. The proposed scheme can be helpful for establishing a spatial diversity FSO system with a low error rate and high transmission rate.     

VCSEL-based differential modulation technique for high-speed gigabit passive optical networks

With the convergence towards 5G, optical networks need to be upgraded to support the emerging data tsunami. This work experimentally demonstrates the first real-time transmission of 20?Gbps over a class 10G 1550?nm vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) in the context of on-off-keying (OOK) modulation format, by employing VCSEL differential drive mode technique, for adoption in high-speed gigabit passive optical networks (GPONs). Two OOK data streams each with 10?Gbps are differentially modulated onto a single VCSEL, therefore generating an aggregated data rate of 20?Gbps OOK signal. A receiver sensitivity of -13.36?dBm is experimentally achieved. Through extinction ratio optimization, an error free transmission over 24.7?km single mode fibre is attained, with a transmission penalty of 1.91?dB. Our proposed technique alleviates band-limitation of the VCSEL carrier, and doubles the channel data rate without replacing the transmitter optics.     

Capacity upgrade in short-reach optical fibre networks: simultaneous 4-PAM 20 Gbps data and polarization-modulated PPS clock signal using a single VCSEL carrier

In this work, a four-level pulse amplitude modulation (4-PAM) format with a polarization-modulated pulse per second (PPS) clock signal using a single vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) carrier is for the first time experimentally demonstrated. We propose uncomplex alternative technique for increasing capacity and flexibility in short-reach optical communication links through multi-signal modulation onto a single VCSEL carrier. A 20 Gbps 4-PAM data signal is directly modulated onto a single mode 10 GHz bandwidth VCSEL carrier at 1310 nm, therefore, doubling the network bit rate. Carrier spectral efficiency is further maximized by exploiting the inherent orthogonal polarization switching of the VCSEL carrier with changing bias in transmission of a PPS clock signal. We, therefore, simultaneously transmit a 20 Gbps 4-PAM data signal and a polarization-based PPS clock signal using a single VCSEL carrier. It is the first time a signal VCSEL carrier is reported to simultaneously transmit a directly modulated 20 Gbps 4-PAM data signal and a polarization-based PPS clock signal. We further demonstrate on the design of a software-defined digital signal processing (DSP)-assisted receiver as an alternative to costly receiver hardware. Experimental results show that a 3.21 km fibre transmission with simultaneous 20 Gbps 4-PAM data signal and polarization-based PPS clock signal introduced a penalty of 3.76 dB. The contribution of polarization-based PPS clock signal to this penalty was found out to be 0.41 dB. Simultaneous distribution of data and timing clock signals over shared network infrastructure significantly increases the aggregated data rate at different optical network units (ONUs), without costly investment.

Laser pulse-stretching with multiple optical ring cavities

We describe a simple and passive nanosecond-long laser-pulse stretcher using multiple optical ring cavities. We present a model of the pulse-stretching process for an arbitrary number of optical ring cavities. This new model explicitly includes the effects of cavity delay time, beam-splitter reflectivity, total number of optical cavities, and describes the effects of spatial profile sensitivity. Using the model, we optimize the design of a pulse stretcher for use in a spontaneous Raman-scattering excitation system that avoids laser-induced plasma spark problems. From the optimized design, we then experimentally demonstrate and verify the model with a three-cavity pulse-stretcher system that converts a 1000-mJ, 8.4-ns-long input laser pulse into an approximately 75-ns-long (FWHM) output laser pulse with a peak power reduction of 0.10x and an 83% efficiency.     

Exact error rate analysis of free-space optical communications with spatial diversity over Gamma–Gamma atmospheric turbulence

The error rate performances and outage probabilities of free-space optical (FSO) communications with spatial diversity are studied for Gamma–Gamma turbulent environments. Equal gain combining (EGC) and selection combining (SC) diversity are considered as practical schemes to mitigate turbulence. The exact bit-error rate (BER) expression and outage probability are derived for direct detection EGC multiple aperture receiver system. BER performances and outage probabilities are analyzed and compared for different number of sub-apertures each having aperture area A with EGC and SC techniques. BER performances and outage probabilities of a single monolithic aperture and multiple aperture receiver system with the same total aperture area are compared under thermal-noise-limited and background-noise-limited conditions. It is shown that multiple aperture receiver system can greatly improve the system communication performances. And these analytical tools are useful in providing highly accurate error rate estimation for FSO communication systems.
