Cross-Phase Modulation in Multispan WDM Optical Fiber Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The spectral characteristics of cross-phase modulation (XPM) in multispan intensity-modulation direct-detection (IM-DD) optical systems are investigated, both experimentally and theoretically. XPM crosstalk levels and its spectral features are found to be strongly dependent on fiber dispersion and optical signal channel spacing. Interference between XPMinduced crosstalk effects created in different amplified fiber spans is also found to be important to determine the overall frequency response of XPM crosstalk effects. XPM crosstalk between channels with different data rates is evaluated. The crosstalk level between higher and lower bit rate channels is found to be similar to that between two lower bit rate channels. The effect of dispersion compensation on XPM crosstalk in multispan optical systems is discussed and per span dispersion compensation was found to be the most effective way to minimize the effect of XPM crosstalk.

In this paper cross-phase modulation (XPM) and its impact on multispan NRZ-modulated wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems is examined. An analytical model is presented to assess the signal degradation. The impairments due to XPM are related to a Q-factor. The presented formulas are examined for different dispersion compensation schemes and also mixed-fiber systems. The analytical mode...

A Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) system is a high-speed optical transmission system that simultaneously transports optical signals of different wavelengths over a single optical fiber. WDM was developed as a next generation optical signal transport technology after traditional Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) systems offering much greater potential capacities. TDM is the most popular tec...

The nonlinear interaction between amplified spontaneous emission noise and copropagating signal in a dispersive optical fiber is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. A transfer matrix formulation is used to solve the nonlinear propagation equation. A continuous wave (CW) input optical signal format isolates the effect of modulation instability (MI) from the signal self-phase modu...
