Abstract: | Three dispersion compensation schemes of an optical label switching transmission system were investigated, which employs 40 Ghit/s return zero differential phase-shift keying(RZ-DPSK) payload labeled with 2.5 Gbit/s on-off keying(OOK) signal based on the optical carrier suppression and separation(OCSS) technique. In the system, proposed are the receiver sensitivity of payload and label, achieving -32.4 dBm and -38. 5 dBm, respectively. Using the optimal dispersion compensation scheme, after transmitted over 160 km and 320 km SMF respectively, the label can be recovered without power penalty, while the payload can be recovered with less than 2 dB and 5 dB penalty, respectively. |
