摘要： An optical communications system includes a plurality of optical fiber spans. An optical loss of one of the plurality of optical fiber spans is different from an optical loss of another one of the plurality of optical fiber spans. At least one of the plurality of optical fiber spans includes an optical loss that is greater than or equal to 35 dB and at least one of the plurality of optical fiber spans includes an optical loss that is less than 30 dB. An optical amplification system includes at least one discrete optical amplifier, at least one distributed optical amplifier, and an optical loss element. The optical amplification system has spectral gain that compensates for substantially all losses experienced by the optical signals propagating in the plurality of optical fiber spans.

摘要： The present application describes methods and systems that improve the optical signal to noise ratio performance of an optical network without the need to vary the free spectral range associated with a differential interferometer. This is achieved by varying an electrical bandwidth of an electronic device associated with the receiver. For example, the electrical bandwidth may vary in inverse proportion to the combined effective optical bandwidth of the transmission line carrying the optical signal. The techniques described herein a applicable to a wide variety of modulation formats, including mPSK, DPSK, DmPSK, PDmPSK, mQAM, ODB, and other direct-detection formats. Using the techniques described herein, the optical signal to noise ratio and bit error ratio performance of the optical network is improved without the need to provide costly and complex differential interferometers whose free spectral range is variable.
