As quantum communications make its way towards commercial applications, there is a clear advantage in using fibers with simultaneous classical signals, via wavelength multiplexing, for that purpose. We show what is the noise

Research paper thumbnail of Tunable OTDR in Raman-amplified optical transmissions

The 17th Annual Meeting of the IEEELasers and Electro-Optics Society, 2004. LEOS 2004., 2004

Gain depletion can give rise to 2 dB OTDR errors at high gain.

Two classical reference channels (one containing a telecom 10 Gb/s data stream), wavelength-multiplexed with the quantum signal, are used as feedback. The feasibility of quantum communication is demonstrated in the two opposite directions over 6 hours of continuous operation, as well as a classical error rate better than 1.0 x 10-9 .

Analysis of the expected PMD values calculated from the factory measurements and the as-built reports reveal a systematic overestimation of the PMD in installed links, mitigated by correction of the limited sensitivity of commercial equipments. Unexpectedly high PMD values are observed, indicating that important changes on the PMD characteristics of the fibres may occur during cable installation

In this way we develop studies on the behavior of such a phenomenon, critical when light is transmitted through long optical fibers. The focus in this paper is to discuss the different behavior of PMD over different wavelengths ranges. Results indicate that PMD value varies, depending on the spectral region covered by the optical source. Measurements were performed using the interferometric method on three different types of optical fiber with three broadband optical sources covering the infrared spectral bands O, S, C and L. The evaluation of mean PMD is also discussed in the metrology concepts.
