Using on-off keying modulation, Monte Carlo simulation techniques are used to obtain the average bit error rate and system capability due to scintillation and the effect of introducing a power control algorithm (PCA) to the system is investigated. The PCA ensures that at any receiving instant, the same turbulence- free powers are received by all the receiving lenses. The performance of various WDM FSO communication system configurations such as non-amplified systems with an adaptive decision threshold (NOAADT), non- amplified systems with a non-adaptive decision threshold, fixed gain amplified systems with an adaptive decision threshold, fixed gain amplified systems with a non- adaptive decision threshold and saturated gain amplified systems with a non-adaptive decision threshold (SOA- NADT) are investigated. Results obtained show that the SOANADT is superior to the NOAADT and the PCA is only beneficial in amplified systems.展开更多

It is composed of eight mirrors and two nested prism pairs. Each prism and the two mirrors behave as a RC. Phase shift of RC is a periodic function of the frequency of the input light which acts as a phase dispersive mirror. The two phase shifts needed to achieve a flat-top spectral passband are provided by Fresnel reflectivities at the prism-air interface of the two RCs. The optimum interface reflectivities for flat passband, high isolation and low dispersion can be obtained only by choosing an appropriate material for the prism in each RC. The proposed interleaver in a 25 GHz channel spacing application exhibits a 0.5 dB passband greater than 24 GHz （96% of the spacing）, a 30 dB stopband greater than 21.2 GHz （84.8% of the spacing）, a channel isolation higher than 32 dB and chromatic dispersion ±50 ps/nm within the range of center-frequency ：t：2 GHz ITU passband.展开更多

In this scheme, WDM is overlaid on OCDMA channel in a single network by virtue of a kind of SSFBC, and the total capacity of hybrid PON can be extended by regulating the transmission power reasonably. Re, modulation technology is also a good method to save wavelength-specific components at the optical network unit （ONU） and cost of wavelength management on the customer side. In simulation system, 1.25 Gb/s up/downstream data are transported with good performance. In addition the crosstalk penalties from adjacent wavelength channels （with the same OC） are found to be negligible in upstream and downstream transmissions.展开更多

In this paper, we have simulated the application of these nanoparticles into the super-structured fiber Bragg grating(SSFBG) written with perfect sequences derived from a short maximal-length sequence. A tunable SSFBG will be available to overcome the prohibitive temperature variation of the optical codecs. Nevertheless,we presented a method to implement coherent time spreading optical code-division multiple-access(OCDMA) where a unique code(or perfect sequence) can be reused and mixed with different wavelengths to obtain a tunable wavelength-division multiplexing(WDM)system. In order to maximize the binary throughput, we have selected a unique short maximal-length sequence composed of 7 chips that can be tuned with 7 different optical wavelengths. We found thousands of different tunable combinations that presented power contrast ratios(P/C) higher than 12 dB. When a WDM-OCDMA system used 2 different combinations simultaneously, the perfect binary detection with error correction codes was achieved successfully. The tunable SSFBG with colloidal crystals will be a simple and good alternative choice for fiber-to-the-home(FTTH) communications.展开更多

Compared to polarization-division multiplexing quadrature phase-shift keying （PDM-QPSK）, multilevel modulation, such as PDM 16 quadrature-amplitude modulation （16-QAM）, is much more sensitive to intrachannel noise and interchannel linear crosstalk caused by N-WDM. We experimentally generate and transmit a 6 x 128 Gbit/s N-WDM PDM 16-QAM signal over 1200 km single-mode fiber （SMF）-28 with amplification provided by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier （EDFA） only. The net SE is 7.47 bit/s/Hz, which to the best of our knowledge is the highest SE for a signal with a bit rate beyond 100 Gbit/s using the PDM 16-QAM. Such SE was achieved by DSP pre-equalization of transmitter-side impairments and DSP post-equalization of channel and receiver-side impairments. Nyquist-band can be used in pre-equalization to enhance the tolerance of PDM 16-QAM to aggressive spectral shaping. The bit-error ratio （BER） for each of the 6 channels is smaller than the forward error correction （FEC） limit of 3.8 × 10-3 after 1200 km SMF-28 transmission.展开更多

The proposed algorithm dynamically allocates network resources and reserves partial bandwidth based on the current network status, which includes the request bandwidth, average utilization for each wavelength and its coefficient of variance （C.V.） of data traffic, to determine whether the connection can be set tip. Five fuzzy sets for request bandwidth, average rate and C.V. of data traffic are used to divide the variable space： very large （LP）, large （SP）, normal （ZE）, small （SN）, and very small （LN）. Setting the fuzzy limit is a key part in the proposed algorithm. The simulation of scenarios in this paper has two steps. In the first step, the adaptive fuzzy limits are evaluated based on average transmission cost pertaining to ten network statuses. The second step is to compare the proposed algorithm with periodic measurement of traffic （PMT） in ATM networks in six network situations to show that the proposed FC-RWA algorithm can provide better network transmission.展开更多

文摘Nyquist wavelength-division multiplexing （N-WDM） allows high spectral efficiency （SE） in long-haul transmission systems. Compared to polarization-division multiplexing quadrature phase-shift keying （PDM-QPSK）, multilevel modulation, such as PDM 16 quadrature-amplitude modulation （16-QAM）, is much more sensitive to intrachannel noise and interchannel linear crosstalk caused by N-WDM. We experimentally generate and transmit a 6 x 128 Gbit/s N-WDM PDM 16-QAM signal over 1200 km single-mode fiber （SMF）-28 with amplification provided by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier （EDFA） only. The net SE is 7.47 bit/s/Hz, which to the best of our knowledge is the highest SE for a signal with a bit rate beyond 100 Gbit/s using the PDM 16-QAM. Such SE was achieved by DSP pre-equalization of transmitter-side impairments and DSP post-equalization of channel and receiver-side impairments. Nyquist-band can be used in pre-equalization to enhance the tolerance of PDM 16-QAM to aggressive spectral shaping. The bit-error ratio （BER） for each of the 6 channels is smaller than the forward error correction （FEC） limit of 3.8 × 10-3 after 1200 km SMF-28 transmission.
