40Gb/s光纤通信系统中不同码型传输特性的实验研究

在高速光纤通信系统中码型的选择是决定系统传输质量和光谱效率的主要因素。码型的选择和信道速率、信道波长间隔、光放大器的选择、光放大器放置间隔、光纤的类型、色散管理策略等各种因素密切相关。分析了非归零码（NRZ）、归零码（RZ）和载波抑制归零码（CSRZ）码型的产生方式及特点。采用单信道和掺铒光纤放大器（EDFA）放大方式对三种码型进行了40Gb/s的100kmG.652光纤通信传输实验。比较了三种码型的系统传输持性、最佳入纤功率和不同入纤功率下的功率代价：载波抑制归零码最佳入纤功率为9dBm，功率代价小于非归零码和归零码。结果表明，在相同的色散补偿条件下，载波抑制归零码比归零码和非归零码有更优的非线性容忍度。

Optical Clock Recovery Using a Polarization-Modulator-Based Frequency-Doubling Optoelectronic Oscillator

We propose and demonstrate a flexible optical clock recovery scheme using a polarization-modulator-based frequency-doubling optoelectronic oscillator (OEO). The proposed system can extract both prescaled clock and line-rate clock from a degraded high-speed digital signal using only low-frequency devices. A simple theory is developed to study the physical basis of the optical clock recovery. The OEO operation from a free-running mode to an injection-locking mode is investigated. The locking range is quantitatively predicted. An experiment is then implemented to verify the proposed scheme. A prescaled clock at 10 GHz and a line-rate clock at 20 GHz are successfully extracted from a degraded 20 Gb/s optical time-division-multiplexed (OTDM) signal. The locking range and the phase noise performance are also experimentally investigated. Clock recovery from data signals that have no explicit subharmonic tone is also achieved. The proposed system can be modified to extract prescaled clock and line-rate clock from 160 Gb/s data signal using all 40-GHz devices.      

40 Gbps All‐Optical 3R Regeneration and Format Conversion with Related InP‐Based Semiconductor Devices

We report an experimental demonstration of 40 Gbps all‐optical 3R regeneration with all‐optical clock recovery based on InP semiconductor devices. We also obtain all optical non‐return‐to‐zero to return‐to‐zero (NRZ‐to‐RZ) format conversion using the recovered clock signal at 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps. It leads to a good performance using a Mach‐Zehnder interferometric wavelength converter and a self‐pulsating laser diode (LD). The self‐pulsating LD serves a recovered clock, which has an rms timing jitter as low as sub‐picosecond. In the case of 3R regeneration of RZ data, we achieve a 1.0 dB power penalty at 10^?9 BER after demultiplexing 40 Gbps to 10 Gbps with an eletro‐absorption modulator. The regenerated 3R data shows stable error‐free operation with no BER floor for all channels. The combination of these functional devices provides all‐optical 3R regeneration with NRZ‐to‐RZ conversion.     

Stabilizing an optoelectronic microwave oscillator with photonic filters

This paper compares methods of active stabilization of an optoelectronic microwave oscillator (OEO) based on insertion of a source of optical group delay into an OEO loop. The performance of an OEO stabilized with either a high-Q optical cavity or an atomic cell is analyzed. We show that the elements play a role of narrow-band microwave filters improving an OEO stability. An atomic cell also allows for locking the oscillation frequency to particular atomic clock transitions. This reports a proof-of-principle experiment on an OEO stabilization using the effect of electromagnetically induced transparency in a hot rubidium atomic vapor cell.

Optoelectronic oscillator for photonic systems

We describe a novel photonic oscillator that converts continuous-light energy into stable and spectrally pure microwave signals. This optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) consists of a pump laser and a feedback circuit including an intensity modulator, an optical-fiber delay line, a photodetector an amplifier, and a filter. We present the results of a quasi-linear theory for describing the properties of the oscillator and their experimental verifications. Our findings indicate that the OEO can generate ultrastable, spectrally pure microwave-reference signals up to 75 GHz with a phase noise lower than -140 dBc/Hz at 10 KHz. We show that the OEO is a special voltage-controlled oscillator with an optical-output port and can be synchronized to a reference source by means of optical injection locking, electrical injection locking, and a phase-locked loop. Other OEO applications include high-frequency reference regeneration and distribution, high-gain frequency multiplication, comb frequency and pulse generation, carrier recovery, and clock recovery
