Transmission performances of direct detection-based 100-Gb/s modulation formats are investigated and compared for metro area optical networks. The effects of optical signal-to-noise ratio sensitivity, chromatic dispersion, cross-channel nonlinearity, and transmission distance on the performance of differential 8-ary phase-shift keying (D8PSK), differential phase-shift keying plus three-level amplitude-shift keying (DPSK+3ASK), and dual-carrier differential quaternary phase-shift keying (DC-DQPSK) are evaluated. The performance of coherent dual-polarization quadrature phase-shift keying (DP-QPSK) with block phase estimation and coherent DP-QPSK with digital differential detection are also presented for reference. According to our analysis, all three direct detection modulation formats could transmit a 100-Gb/s signal over several hundred kilometers of a single-mode fiber link. The results also show that DC-DQPSK outperforms D8PSK and DPSK+3ASK, and the performance of DC-DQPSK is comparable to that of coherent DP-QPSK with digital differential detection. The maximum transmission distance of DC-DQPSK is over 1,000 km, which is enough distance for metro applications.

An improved low coherence interferometer system and a new analysis method for the accurate measurement of the optical path difference error of an AWG (Arrayed-Waveguide Grating) are described. The use of software simplifies the experimental setup by eliminating the hardware (clock generator). In addition, the actual distances between the peak positions of the adjacent interference signals are calculated using interpolation methods. The wavelength transmission characteristics of the AWG are calculated assuming the measured phase errors. The calculated AWG characteristic is quite similar to the actual measurement result, confirming accuracy of the proposed measurement setup.

Since the wireless optical communications system transmits informations through the atmosphere, it is subject to many effects of the constituent materials of atmosphere. The turbulence effect always exists in both clear and cloudy days. It causes a beam wandering, breathing, and scintillation. These disadvantageous phenomena degrade the performance of an optical communications system. In this paper, I designed a refractive index measuring system and subcarrier ASK optical communications system. Through this system I measured refractive index in May and in August. From these measurements, the minimum value of the refractive index in these period was about ${\approx}10^{-15}[m^{-2/3}]$ at night time and the maximum value was about ${\approx}10^{-12}[m^{-2/3}]$ at day time. The refractive index structure parameter. BER(bit error rate), and the burst length were measured simultaneously in these measurements. the theoretically predicted BER and the measured values showed a good agreement.

In multifiber all-optical networks, optical amplifiers are used for amplifying multiple optical signals with different wavelengths in fibers. An optical amplifier operates when any of lightpaths passes through it. Therefore, it should simultaneously amplify as many lightpaths as possible for efficiently utilizing its power. This paper proposes a dynamic lightpath establishment scheme considering the use efficiency of the optical amplifiers and the depletion of the wavelength resources in multifiber all-optical networks. The proposed scheme provides a routing and wavelength assignment strategy that reduces both the power consumption of the optical amplifiers and the blocking probability of the lightpath establishment. Through simulation experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

An experimental outdoor optical wireless data communication system with an optical filter in the presence of sunlight or artificial light is presented. For the efficient blocking of light noise outdoors, we employ an optical filter made of microlouver film on the top of the photo diode. This filter is designed to block any light noise incident from an angle higher than $30^{\circ}$ on the assumption that light noise does not face the photo diode horizontally. Outdoor experiments daytime with the optical filtering have been conducted. The experimental results demonstrate that the optical filter effectively blocks nearly all light noise incident from the specified angle or higher and more than 90% of the transmitted data packets are successfully received. The proposed outdoor visible light data communication can thus facilitate a practical free space outdoor optical wireless data transmission.

We compare the performance of a wavelength remodulated wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network implemented using Manchester-coded or inverse-return-to-zero (IRZ)-coded signal downstream and non-return-to-zero remodulated signal upstream. We investigate the effects of varying differences between downstream and upstream bit rates on the two coding schemes. When the bit rate ratio of upstream to downstream is less than or equal to 50%, the performance of Manchester coding is better than that of IRZ coding. However, when the bit rate ratio of upstream to downstream is higher than 50%, Manchester code requires appropriate time delay between upstream and downstream signals, whereas IRZ code needs reduced extinction ratio in the downstream signal.

We propose a new mini-slot transmission scheme for a passive optical network (PON) in which each customer can be switched either to access mode or to internetworking mode dynamically. In this paper, we present the system implementation (called LAN-PON) as well as the performance of the proposed transmission scheme to illustrate its feasibility and benefits. A mini-slot scheme can rapidly reduce the queuing delay, which increases due to the flooding of the deflected packets in a deflection scheme. We evaluate the impact of mode switching time on the bandwidth gain (throughput) and delay of local area network (LAN) traffic in the LAN-PON with a mini-slot scheme. We also analyze a theoretical delay model of the proposed scheme. The simulation results demonstrate that switching time has an impact on LAN performance, and the average packet delay of the proposed scheme is significantly improved compared to that of the deflection scheme.

In this paper, we propose a chip-level detection and a spectral-slice scheme for the tunable-transmitter/fixed-receiver (TTFR)-based asynchronous spectral phase-encoded optical codedivision multiple-access (CDMA) system combined with timeencoding. The chip-level detection can enhance the tolerance of multiple access interference (MAI) because the channel collision does not occur as long as there is at least one weighted position without MAI. Moreover, the spectral-slice scheme can reduce the interference probability because the MAI with the different frequency has no adverse effects on the channel collision rate. As a result, these techniques mitigate channel collisions. We analyze the channel collision rate theoretically, and show that the proposed system can achieve a lower channel collision rate in comparison to both conventional systems with and without the time-encoding method.

We have proposed an application of disturbance observer with PID controller to minimize gain-transient time of wavelength-division-multiplexing(WDM) multi channels in optical amplifier in channel add/drop networks. We have dramatically reduced the gain-transient time to less than $3{\mu}sec$ by applying a disturbance observer with a proportional/integral/ differential(PID) controller to the control of amplifier gain. The theoretical analysis on the 3-level erbium-doped fiber laser and the disturbance observer technique is demonstrated by performing the simulation with co-simulation of the $MATLAB^{TM}$ and a numerical modeling software package such as the $Optsim^{TM}$.

Known as an important criterion that evaluates performance of future high-speed backbone networks, burst data loss ratio is well-studied in Optical Burst Switching networks. Current literatures mostly focus on reduce burst loss ratio without considering the system stability and link utilization after reducing. In this paper, we propose a novel framework which comes from feedback theoretic to dynamically control burst loss ratio in OBS. The proposed scheme tries to track the pre-set values of burst loss ratio and increases the stability and link utilization degree. The simulation results show that measured burst loss ratio always tracks setup reference with small errors, wavelength channel utilization is increased up to 2% and the system stability is also improved.
