Research paper thumbnail of Effect of Self-Phase-Modulation (SPM) on dispersion compensated AP-DCDM transmission

The study includes the influence of launched power, number of channels and dispersion compensation method. Dispersion post-compensation and combination of dispersion pre- and post-compensation are used to manage the transmission links. At high powers, SPM degrades the pulse recompression process and provides an upper bound on the AP-DCDM transmitted pulse energy. It is demonstrated that the 40 Gb/s AP-DCDM system shows a 4.1 dB improvement and less than 1 dB penalty in terms of SPM tolerance in comparison to 40 Gb/s 4-ary and on – off-keying (OOK) systems, respectively. The SPM effect is stronger in the 100% post-compensated link than that in the combination of pre- and post-compensated links. Dispersion pre-compensation of 18–22% is found as the optimum range of pre-compensation ratio for AP-DCDM system, which makes optimisation of the launche...

Research paper thumbnail of Duty Cycle Division Multiplexing (DCDM); A New Electrical Multiplexing Technique for High Speed Optical Communication Systems

2008 6th National Conference on Telecommunication Technologies and 2008 2nd Malaysia Conference on Photonics, 2008

DCDM can be applied in both electrical and optical domains, for wired and wireless systems. The new technique allows for more efficient use of time slots as well as the spectrum, taking advantage of both the conventional TDM and FDM. In this paper, three channels operating at the same speed of 10 Gbps per channel are multiplexed in the electrical domain. The performance comparison is made against 3times10 Gbps TDM, and the experimental simulation results show that the DCDM system can support higher bit rate than TDM and also, it is less sensitive to the chromatic dispersion effect.

Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and its dense version (DWDM) are widely accepted as the best approaches thus far. In this paper, a study on the sub-carrier multiplexing at radio frequency (RF) bands is proposed as a complementary technique to increase the transmission bandwidth. Two channels (each at 155 Mbps rate) and eight channels (each at 622 Mbps rate) of pseudo-random bit sequence of the NRZ-encoded data were tested. The channels were sub-carried by two RF signals at 500 MHz and 1 GHz respectively, while the eight channels system were sub-carried by 1 GHz, 2 GHz, 3 GHz and 4 GHz over each of the two wavelengths. The simulations were carried out over a fiber distance of 70 km. The effect of transmission native rate on the selection of the sub-carrier frequency is also presented.

APDCDM technique is examined, with comparison to non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and return-to-zero (RZ) time division multiplexing. In this paper three channel operating at the same speed of 10 Gbps are multiplexed in electrical domain. The experimental simulation results show that the receiver sensitivity of all users in APDCDM system is similar to that of RZ-TDM and 3 dB better than NRZ-TDM. The proposed system offer reduced dispersion sensitivity; this suggests advantages for APDCDM in optical multiplexing systems. It was also showed that APDCDM can support higher bit rate than TDM and also, it is less sensitive to the chromatic dispersion effect.

The new technique allows for more efficient use of time slots as well as spectrum. In this paper three users operating at the same speed of 2.5 Gb/s are multiplexed in electrical domain. The performance comparison is made against 7.5 Gb/s return-to-zero time division multiplexing (TDM) system. The experimental simulation results show that although APDCDM has the same receiver sensitivity as TDM but it is able to support higher distance and higher bit rate than TDM.

A number of computer simulations have been conducted for this purpose. It is shown that as number of users grows, the power per chip must be decreased to control the SRS-induced tilt and to keep it below acceptable levels. It is also shown that SRS-induced tilt can significantly limit the power per chip levels when the number of users is large. This is the first time such a study is reported for OCDMA systems.

Simulation result clearly shows that optimum back to back BER performance is achieved when signal level spacing for upper level is higher than that of the lower level in order to compensate the signal dependent noise. In addition, we compare optimized system performance in terms of optical received power (ORP), optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) and chromatic dispersion (CD) tolerance with conventional MSAC method. Improvement of 4.5 dB in ORP and OSNR are observed.

The architecture utilised a bi-directional oscillation provided by two fibre loop mirrors at both ends of the laser cavity. The efficiency of bi-directional amplification in the Erbium-doped fibre exhibited a low threshold operation of 5.5 mW pump power of 980 nm to create the first Brillouin Stokes. A stable operation of eighteen Brillouin Stokes with 10.88 GHz spacing was obtained at around 1558 nm band.

The numerical model has been obtained by developing a spectral analysis of erbium-doped fibre amplifiers.

Optical Engineering, 2006

In this system, an electrically controlled tunable optical filter ͑TOF͒ is used to encode the modulated broadband light source. The code depends on the function set to the controller. Two-dimensional code, named functional code, is also proposed based on a shifted sine function. The function defines the dynamic coding pattern of the central wavelength of the transmitted narrowband optical signal. Thus, the system will allow for an easy reconfiguration of the transmitter without the need for a sophisticated encoder. At the receiver, a synchronized TOF with the same function is used as a decoder. The system is modeled and analyzed taking into account the multiple access interference, phase-induced intensity noise ͑PIIN͒, and thermal noise. The performance of this system is shown to be better compared with a fast frequency hopping ͑FFH͒ system and a spectral amplitude coding ͑SAC͒ system that uses either a Hadamard code, a modified quadratic congruence ͑MQC͒ code, or a modified frequency hopping ͑MFH͒ code.

A maximum gain of 52 dB is obtained at Ϫ50-dBm signal power with 1550-nm signal wavelength. An efficient filtering of amplified spontaneous emission improves gain at the signal wavelength up to 18 dB in the double-pass amplifier section. The noise-figure penalty is very minimal in the small-signal range, compared to the dual-stage amplifier without bandpass filters.

A double-pass amplification technique is used in the first-stage amplifier together with a tunable bandpass filter. The secondstage amplifier is a counter-pumped configuration and another tunable bandpass filter is utilized to filter out amplified spontaneous emission from the firststage amplifier. This design is able to produce a high gain of 55.6 dB and a noise figure of 6.02 dB at 1530 nm with a signal power of −45 dBm. The receiver sensitivity measurement shows that the proposed amplifier improves the minimum detectable power from −33.7 to −40.8 dBm for a bit-error rate of 10−11 at 155 Mbps.

The system consists of two erbium-doped fiber lasers EDFL sharing a single mode fiber to produce bidirectional Stokes signals. One of the cavities was made to incur a higher cavity loss and this results in a wavelength-shift of the EDF peak gain. The cavity coupling leads to a slightly broader EDF peak gain and hence increases the number of Stokes lines. The dual-cavity BEFL generates an output of 22 GHz-comb 2×15-channels at 1560 nm that can be used for DWDM system.
