Analytical Solution for SOA-Based All-Optical Wavelength Conversion Using Transient Cross-Phase Modulation

All-optical wavelength conversion (WC) based on transient cross-phase modulation (T-XPM) of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOAs) is a promising approach to accelerate the gain recovery of SOAs. An analytical solution is deduced to explain the polarity variation of WC based on T-XPM of SOAs from the viewpoint of the impulse response functions. We conclude that both inverted and noninverted WCs can be realized when the central wavelength of the optical bandpass filter is either blue-shifted or red-shifted with respect to the wavelength of the probe signal. We are able to validate the formula against our experimental results recently published     

Chromatic Dispersion Compensation of OOK Signals With MLSE Utilizing Diverse VSB Filtering

We present diverse vestigial-sideband-filtering maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (DVSB-MLSE), a modification of MLSE, for residual chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation in nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) on–off keying (OOK) systems. While VSB filtering can considerably increase residual CD tolerance of MLSE receivers, the performance of MLSE can be further enhanced by diverse reception, through which the MLSE module jointly equalizes samples from upper and lower VSB filtered signals. Simulation results show that compared to conventional MLSE, DVSB-MLSE increases the residual CD tolerance at 3-dB optical signal-to-noise ratio penalty by 110% in a 42.7-Gb/s NRZ-OOK system.      

Design Considerations for Polarization-Independent All-Optical Retiming Based on Cross-Phase Modulation and Spectral Slicing

Polarization-independent all-optical retiming is demonstrated experimentally at 10 Gb/s using a self-pulsating distributed feedback laser, cross-phase modulation in a highly nonlinear fiber, and spectral slicing. With careful attention to key design parameters, excellent performance is achieved without additional complexity compared to a conventional polarization-dependent implementation.

NRZ-DPSK and RZ-DPSK Signals Signed Chromatic Dispersion Monitoring Using Asynchronous Delay-Tap Sampling

In this paper, we demonstrated a signed chromatic dispersion (CD) monitoring method of 10 GHz nonreturn-to-zero differential phase-shift keying (NRZ-DPSK) and return-to-zero differential phase-shift keying (RZ-DPSK) signals by using asynchronous delay-tap sampling and an imperfect tuned delay interferometer. This method could monitor not only the value but also the polarity of residual CD. The demodulated signals show amplitude shoulders on the rising edge or the trailing edge with CD accumulation. Delay-tap sampling scatter plots could reflect this signal distortion by a unique characteristic and realize the signed CD monitoring. The monitoring range can be up to plusmn400 and plusmn720 ps/nm for NRZ-DPSK and RZ-DPSK signals, respectively. Simulation and experimental results are also proposed.     

Two-Stage SPM-Based All-Optical 2R Regeneration by Bidirectional Use of a Highly Nonlinear Fiber

Two-stage all-optical 2R (reamplification and reshaping) signal regeneration based on spectrum broadening due to self-phase modulation in a nonlinear fiber and subsequent off-centered filtering is demonstrated by the use of only one fiber spool in which the signal is transmitted twice in opposite directions. The two-stage configuration allows wavelength shift-free operation of the regenerator. Recirculating-loop signal transmission and regeneration experiment shows that the bidirectional 2R regenerator extends transmission distance by a factor more than two for an unequally-spaced 40 Gb/s short-pulse train with minimum pulse separation of 12.5 ps. Numerical simulation for assessing the influence of Rayleigh backscattering in the bidirectional configuration is performed, which shows that although some influence of Rayleigh backscattering can appear at higher operation speeds such as 80 Gb/s, strong noise reduction is still achievable by the bidirectional two-stage regeneration.      

All-Optical RZ-DPSK WDM to RZ-DQPSK Phase Multiplexing Using Four-Wave Mixing in Highly Nonlinear Fiber

We propose and experimentally demonstrate an all-optical phase multiplexing scheme using four-wave mixing in a highly nonlinear fiber. Two 10-Gb/s pi/2-shifted return-to-zero (RZ) differential phase-shift-keying (DPSK) wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) signals are successfully phase-multiplexed into a 20-Gb/s RZ differential quadrature phase-shift-keying signal with a negative 1.6-dB power penalty. With more input DPSK WDM signals, the proposed scheme can be applied to obtain a multilevel phase-shift-keying signal with increased capacity and enhanced spectral efficiency.

在同时考虑到光纤的二至四阶色散和三、五阶非线性的情况下,研究了四阶色散、五阶非线性以及入纤功率对双光束交叉相位调制(XPM)不稳定性的综合影响。研究表明,在高阶色散下,正负五阶非线性的存在仍然分别对交叉相位调制不稳定性起加强和削弱的作用;三阶色散对不稳定性增益谱无影响;当四阶和二阶色散系数同号时,四阶色散的存在导致交叉相位调制不稳定性增益谱出现一个新的远离零点的第二谱区,且该谱区由两个始终相连的小谱区组成;第一谱区的谱峰与第二谱区中靠近零点的小谱区的谱峰相当;随着其中一束光的入射功率的增加,两大谱区从分离到靠近再到合二为一,从三个谱峰过渡到两个谱峰;正(负)色散区的第二谱区中靠近(远离)零点的小谱区的谱峰和谱宽很小。在其他色散区时,不稳定性增益谱则只有第一或第二谱区。     

高阶色散和饱和非线性下的交叉相位调制不稳定性

从光纤中包含饱和非线性和高阶色散的耦合非线性薛定谔方程组出发,采用线性稳定性分析法,研究了高阶色散和饱和非线性对双光束交叉相位调制不稳定性的综合影响.研究表明,当四阶和二阶色散系数同号时,调制不稳定性增益谱可能出现一个新的远离零点的第二谱区,且该谱区由两个始终相连的小谱区组成;第一谱区的谱峰与第二谱区中靠近零点的小谱区的谱峰相当;在其他色散区,增益谱只存在一个谱区.而饱和非线性的存在则使每个谱区的谱宽、峰值增益大小随入纤功率的增大呈现出先增大后减小的特点,即对每个谱区而言,将出现两个不同的输入功率对应同一个不稳定增益峰值和谱宽的情形.

Impulse Response of Cross-Phase Modulation Filters in Multi-span Transmission Systems with Dispersion Compensation

As shown by Chianget al.(1996), cross-phase modulation on each channel of a wavelength-division-multiplexed transmission system can be viewed as a phase modulation, where the modulating signal is the sum of the input intensities of all the other copropagating channels, each filtered by a low-pass filter, whose bandwidth decreases with the walk-off parameter. We give an explicit expression of the impulse response of such filter in the general case of dispersion mapped transmission systems. We show by simulation that this filter, in intensity-modulated transmission systems, gives an optimal prediction of the signal phase even when the underlying assumption of negligible envelope distortion upon which its derivation is based is strongly violated. As an application, we show an analytical evaluation of the spectral broadening induced by XPM in multi-span compensated systems.     

Chromatic Dispersion Monitoring for High-Speed WDM Systems Using Two-Photon Absorption in a Semiconductor Microcavity

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental investigation into the use of a two-photon absorption (TPA) photodetector for use in chromatic dispersion (CD) monitoring in high-speed, wavelength division multiplexing network. In order to overcome the inefficiency associated with the nonlinear optical-to-electrical TPA process, a microcavity structure is employed. An interesting feature of such a solution is the fact that the microcavity enhances only a narrow wavelength range determined by device design and angle at which the signal enters the device. Thus, a single device can be used to monitor a number of different wavelength channels without the need for additional external filters. When using a nonlinear photodetector, the photocurrent generated for Gaussian pulses is inversely related to the pulse width. However, when using a microcavity structure, the cavity bandwidth also needs to be considered, as does the shape of the optical pulses incident on the device. Simulation results are presented for a variety of cavity bandwidths, pulse shapes and durations, and spacing between adjacent wavelength channels. These results are verified experimental using a microcavity with a bandwidth of 260 GHz (2.1 nm) at normal incident angle, with the incident signal comprising of two wavelength channels separated by 1.25 THz (10 nm), each operating at an aggregate data rate of 160 Gb/s. The results demonstrate the applicability of the presented technique to monitor accumulated dispersion fluctuations in a range of 3 ps/nm for 160 Gb/s return-to-zero data channel.

Self-Pumping Wavelength Conversion for DPSK Signals and DQPSK Generation Through Four-Wave Mixing in Highly Nonlinear Optical Fiber

A novel scheme is proposed to achieve self-pumping wavelength conversion for two differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) signals at different wavelengths through four-wave mixing (FWM) effect in a highly nonlinear optical fiber. By changing the phase modulation depths to pi/2 for both of the DPSK signals, the two signals can be multiplexed to generate a differential quadrature phase-shift keying signal. The simulations and experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of phase manipulations for phase-shift keying signals through the FWM process
