An all-optical multilevel amplitude regenerator is optimized based on the transmission response of a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM). Three regenerative regions defined by the power-transfer-function (PTF) slope of less than 1 are obtained, and noise suppression is shown for a PAM4 signal. Using amplitude dithering we were able to experimentally characterize the transfer function slope and confirm...
By an orchestra of multiple enabling techniques at the transmitter and receiver, we experimentally demonstrate a single-channel 102.4-Gb/s transmission up to 240-km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) at C-band with direct detection. At the transmitter, we realize Nyquist-pulse shaping PAM-4 (NPAM-4) modulation and single-sideband modulation by using a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator. At the receiver,...
We study the artificial neural network (ANN) and feed forward equalizer jointly to mitigate the inter-symbol interference (ISI) and the nonlinear distortions in the optical single-side band and direct-detection (DD) system. The optical SSB signal is generated by a relatively low-cost dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DDMZM). The two driving signals are a pair of Hilbert signals with Nyquist pulse-shaped...
Mach–Zehnder (MZ) modulators are widely used in optical transmitters to generate high-speed optical signals. With electronic dispersion compensation (EDC), the driving signals to MZ modulators change from digital to analog, or continuous waveforms. Consequently, there is signal degradation from their sinusoidal transfer curves. In this paper, we theoretically and numerically investigate the signal...
We propose and demonstrate a Hilbert Superposition (HS) scheme in an optical single side-band (SSB) modulation and direct-detection system. The optical SSB signal is generated by a relatively low-cost dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DDMZM) biased at the quadrature point. The two driving signals are a pair of Hilbert signals with Nyquist pulse-shaped four-level pulse amplitude modulation (NPAM-4)...
Signal-to-signal beating interference (SSBl) is one of the main drawbacks of direct-detection based optical transmission systems. Volterra filter is a common equalization method to mitigate the nonlinear distortion. However, the computational complexity may be unpractical as the transmission capacity increases. In this paper, we demonstrate that the sparse Volterra can reduce the complexity significantly...
