    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for compensating for dispersion in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical communication system. The system includes a transmitting and receiving terminal for transmitting and receiving, respectively, an optical signal having a plurality of channels, and an optical fiber transmission path coupling the first and second terminals. The fiber transmission path has a dispersion substantially equal to zero for a selected channel, positive dispersion for a first set of channels, and negative dispersion for a second set of channels. The method begins by providing positive dispersion compensation to the second set of channels at one of the terminals. Negative dispersion compensation is provided to the first set of channels, also at one of the terminals.

    摘要: Collisions between solitons in different frequency channels are one of the major sources of errors in transmission systems that utilize wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Moreover, because standard transmission lines have lumped amplification, the four-wave mixing fields from soliton collisions grow uncontrollably, adding amplitude and timing jitter to the jitter due to ideal soliton collisions. These problems are addressed by using a specific dispersion map to implement dispersion management, by which it is possible to significantly reduce the collision-induced timing jitter and to improve system performance even in comparison with that provided by an ideal, exponentially decreasing dispersion fiber.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for monitoring an optical transmission path through an optical transmission system supporting bidirectional communication between first and second terminals along first and second optical transmission paths. The first transmission path includes at least one optical amplifier located therein. In accordance with the method, a test signal is generated, which is formed by a superposition of first and second optical tones located at first and second wavelengths, respectively. The first and second wavelengths are within the bandwidth of the optical amplifier. The amplitude and phase of the first and second optical tones are arranged so that the test signal has a substantially constant intensity over a modulation cycle of the first and second optical tones. The test signal is transmitted from the first terminal along the first optical transmission path and through the optical amplifier. A portion of the test signal is received at the first terminal after it traverses the optical amplifier, an optical loop-back path, and a second transmission path. The received portion of the test signal may be compared to a delayed rendition of the generated test signal to assess transmission path performance.

    摘要: A method is provided for determining the system performance of an optical transmission system that supports an optical signal having a plurality of channels. The method begins by selecting a set of parameters defining characteristics of the transmission system. Exemplary parameters include, for example, the system's length, bit rate, the number of amplifiers and channels employed, and the wavelengths of the channels and their respective power levels. The method continues by determining a baseline value of the system performance that accounts for fiber loss, optical amplifier gain and noise, and system gain equalization. Next, a first penalty to the baseline system performance is determined. The first penalty arises from a nonlinear interaction between the optical signal and amplified spontaneous emission. A second penalty to the baseline system performance is then determined. The second penalty arises from self-phase modulation and cross-phase modulation. Finally, the first and second penalties are subtracted from the baseline system performance to obtain a value of system performance for the transmission system.

    摘要: A detection system and method may be used to detect data transmitted in a signal with data pattern dependent signal distortion. In general, a detection system and method compares samples of a received signal with stored samples of distorted signals associated with known data patterns and selects the known data patterns that correspond most closely with the samples of the received signal. The detection system and method may thus mitigate the effects of data pattern dependent signal distortion.
