Signal-to-noise ratio analysis of 100 Gb/s demultiplexing usingnonlinear optical loop mirror

This paper investigates experimentally and theoretically the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) characteristics of 100 Gb/s all-optical demultiplexing using a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM). The analysis takes into account two effects that degrade the SNR associated with NOLM demultiplexing. First is channel crosstalk originating from the leakage of nontarget channels. Second is the intensity fluctuations of demultiplexed signals caused by the combined effects of timing jitter and a profile of the switching window. Considering these two effects, power penalties associated with NOLM. Demultiplexing are theoretically evaluated using the conventional noise theory of an optical receiver followed by an optical preamplifier. Experimental results of bit error rate measurements for 100 Gb/s demultiplexing using three different NOLMs with different intrinsic crosstalk values, defined by signal transmittance in the absence of control pulses, show that the power penalties are in good agreement with the evaluation based upon our proposed analysis. It can be found from our investigation in demultiplexing from 100 to 10 Gb/s that intrinsic crosstalk of less than -25 dB, corresponding to a coupling ratio, K, of |K-0.5|⩽0.03, is required for the power penalty of less than 1 dB. The root-mean-square (rms) value of the relative timing jitter necessary for obtaining a sufficient timing tolerance width for combining control and signal pulses is determined     

All optical signal regularizing/regeneration using a nonlinearfiber Sagnac interferometer switch with signal-clock walk-off

All-optical signal regularizing/regeneration using a nonlinear fiber Sagnac interferometer switch (NSIS) that employs signal-clock walk-off is investigated. The NSIS realizes all-optical signal regeneration, including timing and amplitude regularizing, by switching clock pulses with amplified input signals using a walk-off-induced, wide, square switching window and intensity-dependent transmittance of the device. First, characteristics (in both the temporal and spectral domains) of the all-optical signal regeneration achieved with the NSIS are investigated theoretically and experimentally. They certify that if clock pulses are within the square switching window obtained with signal-clock walk-off, the clock pulses can be modulated according to the data that the input signals carry and retain their temporal and spectral profiles. This means that if clock pulses can be prepared that meet the system requirements, the NSIS can convert input signals that may not satisfy system requirements into high-quality output signals. Limitations on the switching contrast due to the cross-phase modulation of counterpropagating reference pulses is also discussed. Second, two possible applications of NSIS-based all-optical signal regularizing/regeneration, 1) an all-optical multiplexer with an optical clock and 2) an all-optical regenerative repeater, are discussed. Preliminary experiments with ~10-ps pulses at bit rates of ~5 Gb/s that use locally prepared optical clock pulses, show that the NSIS provides an error-free regeneration function with a certain tolerance for pulse-period irregularity if a proper optical clock is obtained

采用混码器降低码型效应的全光时钟提取技术的研究

为减少全光时钟提取中的码型效应,设计了混码器对注入数据脉冲进行预处理。理论分析表明,在时域上,混码器可以改变注入数据信号脉冲幅度的概率分布,减少零码;在频域上,混码器可以减少连续谱分量。实验证明混码器能使注入数据信号的脉冲幅度集中于最大值的二分之一处,并减少零码。理论计算和实验同时证明,使用路数更多的混码器,或将几个混码器级联使用,提取的时钟能得到更大的改善。实验中使用基于半导体光放大器（SOA）的注入锁模光纤激光器进行40GHz全光时钟提取,由码型效应导致的时钟信号的幅度波动和定时抖动得到了明品的抑制．使用混码器后提取的时钟信号的定时抖动均方根（Jitter RMS）小于2．4ps。     

A high-speed optical star network using TDMA and all-opticaldemultiplexing techniques

The authors demonstrate the use of time-division multiplexing (TDM) to realize a high capacity optical star network. The fundamental element of the demonstration network is a 10 ps, wavelength tunable, low jitter, pulse source. Electrical data is encoded onto three optical pulse trains, and the resultant low duty cycle optical data channels are multiplexed together using 25 ps fiber delay lines. This gives an overall network capacity of 40 Gb/s. A nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) is used to carry out the demultiplexing at the station receiver. The channel to be switched out can be selected by adjusting the phase of the electrical signal used to generate the control pulses for the NOLM. By using external injection into a gain-switched distributed feedback (DFB) laser we are able to obtain very low jitter control pulses of 4-ps duration (RMS jitter <1 ps) after compression of the highly chirped gain switched pulses in a normal dispersive fiber. This enables us to achieve excellent eye openings for the three demultiplexed channels. The difficulty in obtaining complete switching of the signal pulses is presented. This is shown to be due to the deformation of the control pulse in the NOLM (caused by the soliton effect compression). The use of optical time-division multiplexing (OTDM) with all-optical switching devices is shown to be an excellent method to allow us to exploit as efficiently as possible the available fiber bandwidth, and to achieve very high bit-rate optical networks     

基于量子点光放大器波长转换的啁啾特性研究

信号光的啁啾特性在很大程度上会影响量子点半导体光放大器(QD-SOA)的性能,引起传输信号的走离效应,使误比特率增高。为了改善这一特性,对QD-SOA全光波长转换器的啁啾特性进行了系统分析,基于QD-SOA的交叉增益调制效应的全光波长转换原理,采用牛顿法和4阶龙格-库塔法求解速率方程和光场传输方程,计算了注入电流、抽运光脉宽和抽运光消光比变化时QD-SOA全光波长转换器输出变换光的啁啾值。结果表明,增大抽运光脉宽、减小注入电流和抽运光消光比均可减小变换光的啁啾值,通过优化这些参量可以减小啁啾的影响,但在设计QD-SOA全光波长转换器时,要考虑抽运光消光比和变换光啁啾之间的均衡。     

利用TOAD实现10 Gbit/s全光非归零码到归零码的转换

利用从非归零（NRZ）信号中全光提取的时钟，采用太赫兹光非对称解复用器（TOAD）实现了10 Gbit／s非归零码到归零（RZ）码的码型转换。非归零信号采用半导体光放大器（SOA）进行时钟分量增强并用平面波导阵列（AWG）滤出相应的伪归零（PRZ）信号，然后采用半导体光放大器注入锁模光纤环形激光器进行时钟提取，提取的时钟信号和待转换的非归零信号分别作为抽运光和探测光输入太赫兹光非对称解复用器，在其中进行码型转换。转换后输出的归零信号的质量仅由恢复的时钟信号和非归零信号的质量决定，受太赫兹光非对称解复用器中半导体光放大器增益恢复时间的影响极小。实验测得转换后的归零信号消光比为8．7dB，码型效应非常低，其光谱明显展宽．并且出现谱间隔为0．08nm的多峰结构，与10 Gbit／s的比特速率相对应。该方法对时钟信号的码型效应有一定的容忍度。
