    摘要: A method and system is provided for compensating polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in an optical communications system includes a controller designed to control a broadband PMD compensator to differentially delay light at each one of a plurality of selected wavelengths. At least one of the selected wavelengths lies between an adjacent pair of channel wavelengths of the optical communications system. A performance parameter value indicative of PMD is measured at each channel wavelength of the optical communications system. An estimated performance parameter value is then calculated at each selected wavelength, and an error function calculated as a function of wavelength based on the estimated performance parameter values. The broadband PMD compensator is then controlled to minimize the value of the error function.

    摘要: A binary signal is encoded to produce a three-level encoded signal having reduced bandwidth and small low frequency and d.c. components, e.g. using modified duobinary encoding, the encoded signal directly modulating a semiconductor laser to produce a frequency modulated optical signal, which is passed through an interference filter to provide two-state amplitude modulation from the three-state frequency modulation for direct recovery of the binary signal by an optical receiver, the interference filter providing constructive and destructive interference for frequencies corresponding to binary one and zero bits respectively. An array transmission system can be provided by combining multiple such frequency modulated optical signals, from multiple lasers with respective central frequencies and respective encoders for multiple binary signals, using an array waveguide which also serves as a channel frequency filter, with a single interference filter. Polarization modulation instead of frequency modulation, and external modulation of an optical signal from an optical source, are also described.

    摘要: Nonlinearity-induced signal distortions are compensated by processing an input communications signal, in the electrical domain prior to Electrical-to-optical conversion and transmission through an optical link of a communications system. According to the invention, a compensation operator is determined that substantially mitigates the nonlinearity-induced signal distortions imparted to an optical signal traversing the communications system. The input communications signal is then input to the compensation operator to generate a predistorted electrical signal. This predistorted electrical signal is then used to modulate an optical source to generate a corresponding predistorted optical signal for transmission through the optical communications system. With this arrangement, arbitrary nonlinearity-induced signal distortions imparted by the optical link can be compensated in such a manner that a comparatively undistorted optical signal is obtained at the receiving end of the optical link.

    摘要: An optical communications system is adapted for connection to an optical fiber link of an optical communications network. The system obtains a fiber identifier respecting the optical fiber link; a respective optimum setting of one or more parameters of the optical communications system; and adjusts a respective value of each parameter in accordance with the respective optimum setting. The fiber identifier can be obtained from a value of at least one fiber transmission property of the optical fiber link. The fiber transmission property value is used to search a look-up table of class definitions, each class definition including a respective class identifier and at least one corresponding characteristic transmission property value. A class identifier is selected as the fiber identifier from the class definition for which each characteristic transmission property value most closely matches a corresponding fiber transmission property value. Each class definition may also include an optimum setting for each parameter.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for monitoring optical signals with an expand frequency resolution. The invention permits high-resolution measurements of optical signal spectrums while retaining wide bandwidth operation through appropriate control circuitry. An interferometer having a periodic frequency response formed of equally spaced narrow-band peaks is used to sweep the entire signal spectrum. The interferometer frequency response is incrementally tuned in cycles so that each of its frequency response peaks cyclically scans a particular spectral band of the signal spectrum. During each cycle, the interferometer isolates multiple,spectrally resolved portions of the optical signal spectrum where each portion originates frog different spectral band. In this way, a high-resolution measurement of the entire signal spectrum can be obtained. The invention may be network protocol independent and can be incorporated into an optical spectrum analyzer or directly into any optical terminal. The invention can be used for signal spectrum monitoring applications including link quality monitoring (LQM) in optical communications networks to monitor various transmission parameters such as such as carrier wavelengths, optical signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), amplified spontaneous emissions (ASE), noise levels, optical non-linearities or other signal baseband information such as data rates and formats.

    摘要: A method for encoding a binary input sequence x(0,1) to obtain a duobinary output sequence y(+1,0,-1) is provided. The duobinary coding technique always provides an output bit y.sub.k =0 when the corresponding bit x.sub.k =0; bits y.sub.k alternatively assume a logical level "+1" and "-1" whenever an input bit x.sub.k-1 =0 changes to x.sub.k =1, and the output bit y.sub.k maintains the logical level "+1" or "-1" whenever the corresponding bit x.sub.k maintains the logical level "1". A coding device for encoding a binary input sequence x(0,1) to a duobinary output sequence y(+1,0,-1) is also provided, comprising a D-type flip-flop for generating a binary switch signal. A first AND circuit receives the input sequence and the switch signal, and provides a first binary sequence a(0,1), while a second AND circuit receives the input sequence and the complement of the switch signal and provides a second binary sequence b(0,1). These first and second binary sequences are applied to a summer to obtain the output sequence y(+1,0,-1). A method for differentially driving a M-Z modulator using a virtual ground level is also provided, which reduces the peak-to-peak drive voltage by a factor of two.
