Repeated Bidirectional Transmission Using Two 4-Port Optical Circulators and a Bidirectional EDFA without Isolators
نویسندگان
چکیده
By using a newly designed bidirectional erbium-doped fiber amplifier, we demonstrated a 2 = 2.5 Gbrs repeated bidirectional transmission over a 100-km single-mode fiber. Two tunable optical bandpass filters were used to suppress the Rayleigh backscattering and amplified spontaneous emission in the bidirectional transmission system. The bit error rate performances were measured for both directions. A negligible power penalty of 0.2 dB for the 2 = 2.5 Gbrs transmission due to backreflections was observed when comparing the bidirectional transmission with single-channel, unidirectional transmission.

Bidirectional WDM self-healing ring network based on wavelength-interleaved bidirectional add/drop amplifier modules
We demonstrate a cost-effective bidirectional WDM self-healing ring network using wavelengthinterleaved bidirectional add/drop amplifier modules. The measured restoration time was less than 10 ms. Recently, bidirectional WDM self-healing ring (SHR) networks based on bidirectional transmission have been proposed [1]-[3]. In these networks, each node should be implemented by using a bidirectional...

We present a path towards reconfigurable, electrically driven and integrated multiple-port optical circulators. Using this novel device architecture, we demonstrate a six-port circulator with 14.4 dB of isolation between adjacent ports, and four different working configurations. It can be straightforwardly expanded to larger port counts. Keywords—Optical isolators, optical circulators, magneto-...
