An optical transmission system includes a first transmitter unit and a first receiver unit. A first optical transmission path interconnects the first transmitter unit and the first receiver unit. The first optical transmission path is defined by at least three transmission spans. The first optical transmission path has a periodic dispersion map with a first periodic component comprising a fixed portion and an adjustable portion, and a second periodic component greater in length than the first periodic component. The fixed portion of the first periodic component of the periodic dispersion map is provided by the respective transmission spans. A plurality of optical repeaters each optically couple adjacent ones of the transmission spans to one another. A first plurality of adjustable dispersion trimming element are each located in one of the optical repeaters and optically couples one of the transmission spans to an optical amplifier located in the optical repeater. The first adjustable dispersion trimming elements each have an adjustable path average dispersion that provides the adjustable portion of the first periodic component. The adjustable path average dispersion is selected such that the fixed portion of the first periodic component of the periodic dispersion map plus the adjustable component of the dispersion map associated therewith has a desired value.

A compensation system for adaptive equalization of an optical signal, wherein an optical filter, whose complex coefficients are adjustable, is used for signal equalization. The quality of the optical signal is used, after conversion to an electrical data signal, as a control criterion. The compensation device can largely compensate for distortion produced by dispersion, polarization mode dispersion or self phase modulation. An optical compensation filter with a wide free spectral range is used to compensate for the wavelength-dependent dispersion in a wavelength-division multiplexed system. The setting of the filter may be fixed, or may be adjusted adaptively in a closed control loop.

The present invention provides a method of dispersion compensation comprising the steps of: receiving an optical signal having a number of channels separated by wavelength; and applying dispersion compensation over at least one predetermined wavelength band independently of wavelengths outside the wavelength band, wherein the wavelength band spans a plurality of channels numbering less than the total number of channels in the signal. The present invention allows dispersion compensation to be applied to a group of channels within a wavelength band with the use of a dispersion compensation element optimised for the particular wavelength band in terms of dispersion compensation and attenuation. Two or more wavelength bands may be chosen to collectively span a WDM signal. Accordingly, the dispersion compensation characteristics of a number dispersion compensation elements may be collocated to create a favourable dispersion compensation characteristic extending over the bandwidth of WDM signal, without the need to treat each channel individually. A mid-span single device permits 40 channels at 10 Gbitsnull1 over two bands over a distance of at least 6000 km. The simple configuration allows for rapid implementation.

The invention relates to the determination of the carrier-to-noise ratio for optical transmissions when a noise-affected optical signal containing a message signal is transmitted along an optical signal transmission path, whereby the optical signal together with the optical noise transmitted therewith is fed to an optical filter (OF). The optical output signal from the above is converted into a corresponding electrical signal in a detector device (Det) and either the mid-frequency of the optical filter (OF), or the detector device (Det) is periodically modulated with a modulation signal (Um). The received total light power (Pges) is determined from a direct current component of the electrical signal and the signal power (Pse) of said message signal is determined from a time-dependent modulation component. The carrier-to-noise ratio is determined from the above parameters.
摘要:
An optical transmission system comprising an input for accepting a signal, a laser diode within an optical transmitter for signal modulation and/or for signal amplification, a nonlinear material for compensating signal distortions, a transmission fiber for signal transmission, and an optical receiver for receiving the signal. The optical transmission system may include a multiple of input signals, each input signal fed into one of a multiple of optical transmitters. Each of the multiple of optical transmitters is coupled to a nonlinear material. The output of each nonlinear material is coupled to an optical multiplexer for multiplexing the multiple of input signals into a multiplexed signal for transmission through a transmission fiber. The multiplexed signal is then de-multiplexed into a multiple of de-multiplexed signals, each de-multiplexed signal corresponding to each of the multiple of input signals, and each de-multiplexed signal is received by one of a multiple of receivers.
摘要:
A method of and system for estimating the bit error rate of a channel in an optical communication system includes a method of and system for measuring the in-band cross-talk of the channel in a wavelength division multiplexed system. A single channel is selected from the plurality of channels in the optical communication system. The signal in this single channel is passed to a digital signal processor proportional to the time rate of change of a phase of an optical source generating the signal. The digital signal processor converts the filtered signal into the frequency domain, and a spectrum analyzer determines the features of the in-band cross-talk from the signal in the frequency domain. The features of the in-band cross-talk may be combined with other measured noise features, such as the power spectral density, to estimate BER.

摘要:
An operation unit of a PMD compensation module includes a PBS, a compensated part and a combiner. The PBS separates an optical input into a first polarized signal and a second polarized signal. The compensated part includes a fixed prism and a movable prism. The first polarized signal outputted from the PBS travels through the fixed prism and the movable prism in series. The light path of the first polarized signal in the movable prism is elongated or shortened according to a position of the movable prism. A continuously variable delay can thus be applied between the first and second polarized signals. The combiner recombines the first polarized signal received from the compensated part and the second polarized signal received from the PBS into an optical output signal.
