Dispersion of Cascaded Fiber Gratings in WDM Lightwave Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fiber gratings operating in the transmission mode can provide high dispersion at wavelengths close to the Bragg resonance. When multiple gratings are cascaded for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) applications, the net dispersion between the stop bands of any two consecutive gratings is significantly modified. We discuss the dispersion characteristics of such cascaded fiber gratings and propose a dispersion compensator for simultaneous compensation of group-velocity dispersion (GVD) for multiple channels of a WDM lightwave system. We also discuss the impact of the dispersion possessed by cascaded gratings on grating based add–drop multiplexers.

Wavelength Demultiplexer for Optically Amplified WDM Submarine Cable System
The wavelength demultiplexer, using cascaded optical fiber gratings and circulators, was proposed and developed for application to optically amplified wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) submarine cable systems with 100GHz channel spacing. Our proposed demultiplexer cannot only achieve high wavelength selectivity, small excess loss and effective allocation of dispersion compensation fibers f...

The impact of fiber Bragg grating induced dispersion on the performance of frequency interleaved WDM radio-over-fiber (RoF) links with OFDM signaling is assessed. A comparison is given for both uniform and quarter-cosine apodized gratings. The frequencyinterleaved optical signals are transported over 10-km-long standard single-mode fiber (SMF) in optical double-sideband (ODSB) format and filter...

Forward error correction is a feasible approach to decline the bit error floor of lightwave systems, arising from the fact that a simple single-error-correcting code can reduce the error floor from O(P,) to O(P'). Here we propose a novel wavelength demultiplexer (WDM) coding system using product code to improve performances of WDM systems with an error floor caused by fiber dispersion or system...
متن کاملDifferential Group Delay Analysis of Uniform Bragg Gratings Written in Hi-Bi Optical Fibers
Fibre Bragg Gratings (FBG) have become key components in optical communications systems, and, in the same time, lightwave transmissions are more intolerant to the polarization mode dispersion. Consequently, the polarization properties of FBG are of paramount importance. In this frame, we analyze the wavelength dependency of Differential Group Delay in the particular case of a uniform Bragg Grat...

We have demonstrated that cascaded fiber Bragg gratings can provide delays of propagating pulses with minimal pulse reshaping. The grating pair used exhibited an overlap transmission region centered at 1551.05 nm, where both gratings contribute to the group delay and the group velocity dispersion (GVD) was canceled. Using wavelength tunable pulses spectrally sliced from a mode-locked fiber lase...
