    摘要: A method for upgrading a wavelength division multiplex (WDM) optical communication system includes replacing an installed transmitter operable to transmit a data stream at a defined bit rate with a return-to-zero M-ary phased shift keying (RZ-mPSK) transmitter operable to transmit the data stream at the defined bit rate and at least one other data stream at the defined bit rate together in an RZ-mPSK signal having a combined bit rate at least double the defined bit rate and a symbol rate equal to the defined bit rate. An installed receiver operable to receive the data stream at the defined bit rate is replaced with an RZ-mPSK receiver operable to recover the data stream at the defined bit rate and the at least one other data stream at the defined bit rate from the RZ-mPSK signal.

    摘要: A method and system for transmitting information in an optical communication system includes modulating a non-intensity characteristic of an optical carrier signal with a data signal to generate an optical information signal. The optical information signal is transmitted over an optical link. The optical information signal is amplified over a length of the optical link with a co-launched amplification signal traveling in the optical link in a same direction as the optical information signal.

    摘要: An optical fiber cable including first, second and third optical fibers connected together so that light traveling through the cable travels through the first optical fiber, then through the second optical fiber and then through the third optical fiber. The second optical fiber has a negative dispersion value. The first and third optical fibers each have a positive dispersion value. The cable optically connects together two optical repeater stations, or an optical repeater station and an end station. Lengths of the first, second and third optical fibers are set so that loss in the first, second and third optical fibers of light transmitted through the first, second and third optical fibers is compensated by Raman amplification occurring in the first, second and third optical fibers.

    摘要: A coherent optical receiver of the invention combines local oscillator light having orthogonal polarization components in which the optical frequencies are different to each other, and received signal light, in an optical hybrid circuit, and then photoelectrically converts this in two differential photodetectors. Then this is converted to a digital signal in an AD conversion circuit, and computation processing is executed in a digital computing circuit using the digital signal, to estimate received data. At this time, the optical frequency difference between the orthogonal polarization components of the local oscillator light is set so as to be smaller than two times the signal light band width, and larger than a spectrum line width of the signal light source and the local oscillator light source. As a result, it is possible to realize a small size polarization independent coherent optical receiver that is capable of receiving high speed signal light.

    摘要: An interferometer comprises a delay element and a phase shift element. The delay element delays an optical DQPSK signal by one-symbol time. The phase shift element shifts the optical DQPSK signal by π/8. A pair of photodiodes converts each of a pair of optical signals output from the interferometer into an electric signal. A photodetector circuit converts differential current obtained by a pair of the photodiodes into voltage and outputs as a detection signal. A first decision circuit outputs one-bit information based on the voltage of the detection signal. A second decision circuit outputs one-bit information based on a squared value of the voltage of the detection signal.

    摘要: A method is provided for transmitting information in an optical communication system that includes transmitting an optical information signal at a wavelength over an optical link with a first and second end. The optical information signal is pre-distorted for dispersion proximate the first end of the optical link. The optical information signal is then compensated proximate the second end of the optical link for dispersion, wherein the pre-distortion and the compensation have opposite polarity at the transmitting wavelength.
