Abstract

A flexible dispersion-managed link configuration is proposed by using single-mode fibers (SMFs) and dispersion-compensating fibers (DCFs) with irregular dispersion coefficients and lengths over all fiber spans for compensating of WDM channels distortion due to the group velocity dispersion and nonlinear effects of optical fibers. The flexibility of link is enabled by artificially distributing of these fibers based on the dispersion coefficients of DCFs in each half transmission section. The simultaneous ascending and descending (AD) distribution of the DCF's coefficients before and after the optical phase conjugator, respectively, best compensates the distorted wavelength division multiplexed signals in the optical link. Therefore, to improve the compensation effect of the distorted WDM channels, AD distribution is needed to choice regardless of fiber lengths and the residual dispersion per span and fiber's dispersion coefficients.

전체 광 중계 구간 모두 불규칙한 분산 계수를 갖는 단일 모드 광섬유와 분산 보상 광섬유 (DCF; dispersion compensating fiber)를 이용한 융통적인 분산 제어 링크 구조를 제안하였다. 링크의 융통적 구성은 각 전송 반 구획에서 DCF의 분산 계수를 기준으로 이들을 인위적으로 분포시켜서 가능하게 하였다. 광 위상 공액기 전의 전송 반 구획에서는 DCF의 분산 계수를 점진적으로 증가시키고, 광 위상 공액기 다음의 전송 반 구획에서는 DCF의 분산 계수를 점진적으로 감소시키는 'AD' 분포에서 왜곡된 파장 분할 다중(WDM; wavelength division multiplexed) 신호가 최상으로 보상되는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 왜곡된 WDM 채널의 보상 효과를 더욱 증가시키기 위해서는 광섬유의 길이, 중계 구간 당 잉여 분산뿐만 아니라 광섬유의 분산 계수에 상관없이 'AD' 분포를 선택할 필요가 있다는 것을 확인하였다.
