We investigate the effect of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) on the optimum dispersion compensation (ODC) monitoring and nonlinear penalty in optical transmission systems. We report that PMD may reduce the fiber nonlinearity. We also report that the monitoring error of the clock-based ODC monitoring technique decreases after the first-order PMD compensation. A simple explanation of this phenomenon is shown.

We experimentally investigated the transmission characteristics of 400 Gbit/s (10 Gbit/s ${\times}$ 40 channels) WDM signals with 100 GHz channel spacing over 323 km of installed NZ_DSF. The installed fiber has optical properties of 0.28 dB/km attenuation, 4.3 ps/nm/km dispersion, $0.083ps/nm^2/km$ dispersion slope and less than $0.05ps/km^{1/2}$ PMD coefficient. In this experiment, two cases of dispersion compensation schemes, the lumped type and the distributed type, were compared. The results implied that the distributed type dispersion compensation in which dispersion compensation devices are inserted at the end of the each span showed better transmission performance than the lumped one in which dispersion compensation devices are located at the transmitter and receiver sites. From the analysis of the experimental results, we verified that different transmission performance comes from the power penalty induced by XPM in the distributed scheme is lower than the lumped scheme case.

분산 보상 구조가 광 위상 공액기 (OPC; optical phase conjugator)를 갖는 960 Gbps의 파장 분할 다중 (WDM; wavelength division multiplexed) 시스템에 미치는 영향을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서 고려한 분산 보상 구조는 전통적인 one-end 구조와 bi-end 구조이다. one-end 구조와 bi-end 구조는 하나의 단일 모드 광섬유 (SMF; single mode fiber) 중계 간격마다 축적된 분산량을 줄여주기 위하여 각각 하나의 분산 보상 광섬유 (DCF; dispersion compensating fiber)와 두 개의 DCF를 사용하여 만들어진다. 전체 잉여 분산 (NRD; net residual dispersion)이 최적화되면 중계 거리 당 잉여 분산 (RDPS; residual dispersion per span)이 400 ps/nm인 WDM 시스템에서 bi-end 구조와 one-end 구조는 거의 동일한 성능을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.

In long-haul optical communication system consisting of standard single-mode fiber spans and fiber amplifiers, such as the erbium-doped fiber amplifier, performance is deteriorated by signal distortion due to chromatic dispersion and nonlinearity of the fiber. A combination of dispersion management and optical phase conjugation is an effective technique to compensate for the distortion. In an optical link configured by this combination, a dispersion map mainly affects the compensation of the distorted optical signals. This paper proposes new dispersion maps configured by the decaying or expanding distribution of residual dispersion per span (RDPS) in a dispersion-managed link combined with a midway optical phase conjugator. The effect of the proposed dispersion maps on the compensation for distorted 24 channel × 40 Gbps wavelength-division multiplexed signals was assessed through numerical simulation. It was confirmed that all the proposed dispersion maps are most appropriate for the compensation and, furthermore, for the flexibility of link configuration than conventional links.

This paper presents a chromatic dispersion monitoring technique using a clock-frequency component for carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ) signal. The clock-frequency component is extracted by a clock-extraction (CE) process. To discover which CE methods are most efficient for dispersion monitoring, we evaluate the monitoring performance of each extracted clock signal. We also evaluate the monitoring ability to detect the optimum amount of dispersion compensation when optical nonlinearity exists, since it is more important in nonlinear transmission systems. We demonstrate efficient CE methods of CSRZ signal to monitor chromatic dispersion for optimum compensation in high-speed optical communication systems.

We propose a dispersion-managed link with a non-midway optical phase conjugator (OPC), in which the residual dispersion per span (RDPS) of each fiber span is different for each transmission section before and after OPC. We numerically demonstrate the compensation for 960-Gb/s wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) signals distorted by chromatic dispersion and Kerr nonlinearity of the fiber. We consider different cases for non-midway OPC, including six fiber spans - OPC - 14 fiber spans and 14 fiber spans - OPC - 6 fiber spans. The numerical results show that the compensation of the distorted 960 Gb/s WDM is more efficient when the OPC is placed after 6-th fiber span as compared to after the 14-th fiber span. Our simulation results also indicate that the compensation effect increases when the difference in net residual dispersion between both transmission sections is not large, but they are not the same. Under this condition, the larger the magnitude of the RDPSs of each fiber span, the greater the compensation.

채널당 10 Gb/s 의 파장 다중화된 NRZ 광신호를 2000 km 까지 전송하면서 링크구간분산 보상 방법의 차이에 따른 성능 변화가 조사되었다. 1533.5 nm에서 1564.7 nm 사이에 100 GHz 의 주파수 간격을 가지는 40 채널의 파장 다중화 신호가 전송되었다. 링크구간 분산보상은 95%, 97.5%, 100%, 102.5% 그리고 105%가 비교되었으며 후치분산 보상이 없는 경우에는 97.5% 링크구간 분산 보상이 가장 좋은 성능을 가졌다. 총 링크거리의 누적분산 값과 링크구간당 평균분산 값의 비교를 통해 신호 성능에 미치는 분산 조건 변화의 영향을 분석하였다. 후치분산보상 최적화가 링크구간 분산보상과 함께 적용되었을 때는 102.5% 조건이 가장 좋은 결과를 보였으며 이 조건이 분산 효과와 채널간 상호 작용의 효과가 동시에 최소화되는 균형점임을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we investigated the degree of compensation for distorted optical pulse of wavelength division multiplexed(WDM) channel with initial frequency chirp generated in optical transmitter. The WDM channel signal distortion is due to chromatic dispersion, self phase modulation(SPM) and cross phase modulation(XPM) in fiber. The considered system is 3 ${\times}$ 40 Gbps intensity modulation direct detection(IM/DD) WDM transmission systems, which adopted mid-span spectral inversion(MSSI) as compensation method. We confirmed that the effect of initial frequency chirp on compensation for signal distortion due to a SPM is gradually decreased as a dispersion coefficient of fiber becomes gradually small. But, in the aspect of a compensation for signal distortion due to both SPM and XPM, the effect of initial frequency chirp on compensation is gradually decreased as a dispersion coefficient of fiber becomes gradually large.

단일 모드 광섬유 (SMF; single mode fiber)의 길이와 중계 구간 당 잉여 분산 (RDPS; residual dispersion per span)이 랜덤하게 분포하는 광 위상 공액과 결합된 분산 제어 (DM; dispersion management)가 적용된 장거리 (50 fiber spans ${\times}80km$) 전송 링크에서 SMF와 분산 보상 광섬유 (DCF; dispersion compensating fiber) 배열과 전체 잉여 분산 (NRD; net residual dispersion)을 조절하는 위치에 따른 왜곡된 WDM 채널의 보상 특성을 수치적으로 분석해 보았다. NRD 조절 위치는 중계 구간을 구성하는 SMF와 DCF의 배열과 관계되어 있지만, NRD 조절의 구체적 위치보다 중계 구간을 이루는 SMF와 DCF의 배열이 WDM 채널의 수신 성능에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

A dispersion map was proposed to improve the compensation effect of a distorted WDM (wavelength division multiplexed) channel in a dispersion-managed link coupled with optical phase conjugation. The dispersion map is an origin-symmetric structure around the optical phase conjugator in the middle of the transmission path. In addition, the dispersion map has a form in which a constant dispersion accumulation pattern is repeated regularly. Through simulation, we confirmed that the application of the origin-symmetric dispersion map with a repetitively shaped configuration was more effective in compensating for the distorted WDM channel than in the dispersion-managed link with a conventional dispersion map. In addition, we confirmed that the compensation effect could be increased when the cumulative dispersion distribution of the origin-symmetric distribution map had a positive value in the first half section and a negative value in the second half section. Further, we observed that as the number of repeated dispersion accumulation patterns increased, the residual dispersion per span should also be increased.
