On the Capacity of Nonlinear Fiber Channels
A fiber-optic transmission line is a nonlinear channel due to the material nonlinear effects. Fiber nonlinearity has become one of the major limiting factors in modern optical transmission systems [1, 2]. Distributed Raman amplification and various return-to-zero (RZ) modulation formats may be employed to reduce the nonlinear impairments, but merely to a limited extent. It is known that the non...
متن کاملConical harmonic generation in isotropic materials.
A novel class of nonlinear optical processes is described in which radiation at the nth harmonic is generated through the use of a (2n+1)-order nonlinearity. Utilizing an odd-order nonlinearity, this process allows for the generation and amplification of both odd- and even-order harmonics in isotropic materials. Additionally, this process can always be phase matched in normal-dispersion materia...
متن کاملuncompensated link with backward-pumped distributed Raman amplification
We present experimental and numerical investigations of Kerr nonlinearity compensation in a 400-km standard single-mode fiber link with distributed Raman amplification with backward pumping. A dual-pump polarization-independent fiber-based optical parametric amplifier is used for mid-link spectral inversion of 5 × 28-GBd polarization-multiplexed 16QAM signals. Signal quality factor (Q-factor) i...
متن کاملOptical Phase Conjugation for Dispersion and Nonlinearity Compensation in a 1600km, 42 Gb/s Quasi-Lossless System
We experimentally investigate a long-distance, high-bit-rate transmission system which combines optical-phase-conjugation with quasi-lossless amplification. Comparison with a conventional system configuration demonstrates the possibility of obtaining both dispersion compensation and improved nonlinear tolerance using proposed scheme. ©2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.4510) Optic...

The potential of a χ photonics, implemented in periodically poled Lithium Niobate (PPLN) waveguides with an engineerable quadratic nonlinearity, for ultrafast all-optical signal routing and switching will be evaluated. High bit rate signal regeneration and routing, based on spatial soliton formation in film waveguides, as well as transparent switching, based on parametric amplification in waveg...
