具有不同色散分布链路的高速CO-OFDM系统中非线性损伤的研究

由于相干光正交频分复用(CO-OFDM)系统很高的峰均功率比(PAPR)以及非常近的子载波间隔,使得链路色散导致的子载波走离对光纤非线性损伤的影响更加明显。研究了不同色散分布、不同残余色散情况下,无色散补偿光纤(DCF)和有色散补偿光纤的光纤链路时CO-OFDM系统的非线性损伤以及系统性能。针对单信道40 Gb/s CO-OFDM系统,无DCF链路比完全补偿DCF链路,Q因子高5.1 dB;对于DCF链路,当残余色散从0变为到1200ps/nm时,最大Q因子提高了4dB,非线性阈值提高了4 dBm,1200ps/nm时性能几乎和无色散补偿系统相同。     

通过恒包络调制提高相干光OFDM系统的光纤非线性容限

相干光正交频分复用(CO-OFDM)对光纤链路中 的色度色散(CD)和偏振模色散(PMD)具有较强的容忍性,但 是OFDM信号高峰均功率比(PAPR)的特点使其对光纤非线性效应 非常敏感,严重影响了系统传输性能。 本文提出了基于恒包络(CE)调制的方法使得系统中光信号PAPR降低为0dB,从而提高了CO-OFDM系统的非 线性传输性能。仿真结果表明,子载波采用16QAM调制的40Gbit/s单信道CE调制CO -OFDM系统,在经800km无色散补偿、欠色散补偿和周期全色散补偿 标准单模光纤(SSMF)链 路传输后,虽然较传统CO-OFDM存在约1.8dB的代价,但是系统最大 发射光功率分别提高 了6.2、9.3dB。并且,将本文方案应 用 到CO-OFDM和10Gbit/s NRZ-OOK混合传输WDM系统中,信道最大发 射光功率仍获得了5.2dB的提高。因此,本文提出的CE调制方法能有 效地提高CO-OFDM系统在不同传输环境中的光纤非线性容限。

相干光正交频分复用系统中的一阶偏振模色散研究

相干光正交频分复用系统(Coherent Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,CO-OFDM)以其较好的色散抑制性能和简单有效的信号处理技术,是近年来光传输领域的研究热点。对于高速CO-OFDM传输系统,偏振模色散(Polarization-mode-dispersion,PMD)带来OFDM信号展宽及输出偏振态的不同,严重影响系统传输性能。文章对一阶PDM影响下CO-OFDM系统(PMD-CO-OFDM)的数学模型和作用机理进行分析,并通过仿真加以验证。结果表明,一阶PMD效应对OFDM信号附加与子载波频率相关的余弦因子,降低系统传输性能,通过信道均衡可有效去除此影响;另外,PMD效应一定程度上减弱子载波相关性,可抑制系统光纤非线性效应,在不考虑色散条件下PMD-CO-OFDM系统以10Gb/s的速率在单模光纤传输240km,差分群时延为50ps时较30ps系统Q值提高约0.2dB。     

中间链路光学相位共轭补偿相干光正交频分复用系统的光纤非线性损伤

由于相干光正交频分复用(CO-OFDM)系统具有很高的峰均功率比(PAPR)以及非常近的子载波间隔,使得光纤非线性损伤成为系统的决定因素。提出中间位置光学相位共轭(OPC)补偿算法补偿CO-OFDM的Kerr损伤,由于OPC两端链路对称,可以最大限度地保证满足补偿条件,具有很好的非线性补偿效果。而且无链路色散补偿和有链路色散补偿系统均适用。该算法能使单信道40 Gb/s CO-OFDM的最大Q因子提高3 dB,非线性阈值提高4 dB;波分复用(WDM)系统的最大Q因子能提高1.1 dB,非线性阈值提高1 dB。

Coherent Optical 25.8-Gb/s OFDM Transmission Over 4160-km SSMF

We discuss coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) as a suitable modulation technique for long-haul transmission systems. Several design and implementation aspects of a CO-OFDM system are reviewed, but we especially focus on phase noise compensation. As conventional CO-OFDM transmission systems are very sensitive to laser phase noise a novel method to compensate for phase noise is introduced. With the help of this phase noise compensation method we show continuously detectable OFDM transmission at 25.8 Gb/s data rate (20 Gb/s after coding) over 4160-km SSMF without dispersion compensation.     

Coherent optical communication systems based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing

Coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) is considered as a key solution for long haul optical fiber communication systems thanks to its high spectral efficiency and robustness against chromatic dispersion. We have investigated a CO-OFDM based on quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK)-OFDM and 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM)-OFDM over 500 km uncompensated fiber links. The simulation results show that the proposed system is a promising solution to meet the aggregate data rate demands cost effectively in future high-speed optical communication systems.     

Phase Estimation for Coherent Optical OFDM

Phase estimation is one of the enabling functionalities in coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division-multiplexing (CO-OFDM) receivers. In this letter, we compare pilot-aided and data-aided phase estimation methods for a CO-OFDM transmission experiment at 8 Gb/s over 1000-km standard single-mode fiber without optical dispersion compensation. We also show that as few as five subcarriers are sufficient for pilot-aided phase estimation     

Maximum-Likelihood Phase and Channel Estimation for Coherent Optical OFDM

We present a channel model for a coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division-multiplexed (CO-OFDM) system including linear fiber dispersion effects and noises from optical amplifiers and intercarrier interference induced by laser phase noise. Based upon this model, we derive maximum-likelihood (ML) phase estimation and channel estimation for the CO-OFDM system. Both computer simulation and transmission experiment of the CO-OFDM system show that the ML decision-feedback following pilot-assisted phase estimation gives the optimal performance.     

PMD-Supported Coherent Optical OFDM Systems

Although polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) greatly impairs conventional high-speed single-carrier systems, it is shown that for multicarrier systems such as coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division-multiplexed systems (CO-OFDM), not only does PMD not cause any impairment, but it also provides a benefit of polarization diversity against polarization-dependent-loss-induced fading and consequently improves the system margin. The PMD benefit to fiber nonlinearity reduction in CO-OFDM systems is also predicted     

Coherent Optical OFDM Transmission Up to 1 Tb/s per Channel

Coherent optical frequency-division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) is one of the promising pathways toward future ultrahigh capacity transparent optical networks. In this paper, numerical simulation is carried out to investigate the feasibility of 1 Tb/s per channel CO-OFDM transmission. We find that, for 1 Tb/s CO-OFDM signal, the performance difference between single channel and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission is small. The maximum Q is 13.8 and 13.2 dB respectively for single channel and WDM transmission. We also investigate the CO-OFDM performance on the upgrade of 10-Gb/s to 100-Gb/s based DWDM systems with 50-GHz channel spacing to 100-Gb/s systems. It is shown that due to the high spectral efficiency and resilience to dispersion, for 100-Gb/s CO-OFDM signals, only 1.3 dB Q penalty is observed for 10 GHz laser frequency detuning. A comparison of CO-OFDM system performance under different data rate of 10.7 Gb/s, 42.8 Gb/s, 107 Gb/s and 1.07 Tb/s with and without the impact of dispersion compensation fiber is also presented. We find that the optimum fiber launch power increases almost linearly with the increase of data rate. 7 dB optimum launch power difference is observed between 107 Gb/s and 1.07 Tb/s CO-OFDM systems.
