This paper reports the effects of pre- and post-compensation using CRZ modulation format in long-haul WDM optical transmission link using wavelengths in three bandwidths viz. 1537.4; 1550; 1562.6 nm at per channel bit rates of 10 Gbit/s.... more

This paper reports the effects of pre- and post-compensation using CRZ modulation format in long-haul WDM optical transmission link using wavelengths in three bandwidths viz. 1537.4; 1550; 1562.6 nm at per channel bit rates of 10 Gbit/s. It has been investigated here that optimization of dispersion map results in improved management of nonlinear effects in long-haul light wave systems operating in the quasi-linear regime. In addition, pre- and post-dispersion compensation was applied at the transmitter and receiver depending on the signal wavelength, which resulted in improvement of performance metrics viz. Q2 (dB), BER and OSNR over longer transmission distances. It is reported here that optimum values of Q2 dB of 17.1 dB, BER of 8.4933e−015 and OSNR of 30.1 dB are obtained at 1550 nm at a transmission distance of 7360 km with pre- and post-compensation using CRZ modulation format.

Free-space laser communication has been demonstrated with application potential in many areas such as line-of-sight communications, satellite communications and the last mile solution in a fiber optics networking. Both 0.8 and 1.5 micron wavelengths are currently used in state-of-the-art free space laser communication systems; unfortunately the system performance is imposed by atmospheric turbulence. To reduce the atmospheric effect in free-space laser communication systems, several techniques have been used, such as adaptive optics, aperture averaging and multiple transmitters; however, significant improvement has not been achieved. Theoretically, the seeing effect may be released using a longer wavelength. In this paper, we present a 3.5 micron free-space laser communication system model and its system performance evaluation. A 3.5 micron propagation model based on MODTRAN simulation results in different weather patterns is presented first, and a propagation link budget system model is described after that. The propagation channel performance evaluation results are presented by means of bit error rate versus various propagation distances.

While silicon has dominated solid-state electronics for more than four decades, a variety of new materials have been introduced into photonics to expand the accessible wavelength range and to improve the performance of photonic devices. For example, gallium-nitride based materials enable the light emission at blue and ultraviolet wavelengths, and high index contrast silicon-on-insulator facilitates the realization of ultra dense and CMOS compatible photonic devices. Here, we report the first deployment of graphene, a two-dimensional carbon material, as the photo-detection element in a 10 Gbits/s optical data link. In this interdigitated metal-graphene-metal photodetector, an asymmetric metallization scheme is adopted to break the mirror symmetry of the built-in electric-field profile in conventional graphene field-effect-transistor channels, allowing for efficient photo-detection within the entire area of light illumination. A maximum external photo-responsivity of 6.1 mA/W is achieved at 1.55 {\mu}m wavelength, a very impressive value given that the material is below one nanometer in thickness. Moreover, owing to the unique band structure and exceptional electronic properties of graphene, high speed photodetectors with an ultra-wide operational wavelength range at least from 300 nm to 6 {\mu}m can be realized using this fascinating material.
