The impact of nonlinear interference (NLI) is experimentally investigated in the ultra-wide bandwidth regime. For signal bandwidths up to 7.3 THz it is confirmed that NLI continues to accumulate as predicted by the Gaussian-Noise model.
We experimentally demonstrate an effective multiplier-free blind phase noise estimation technique for CO-OFDM systems for the first time based on the statistical properties of the received symbols' phases. Our technique operates in polar coordinates, providing very low implementation c omplexity.
Progress on advanced active and passive photonic components that are required for high-speed optical communications over hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber at wavelengths around 2 μm is described in this paper. Single-frequency lasers capable of operating at 10 Gb/s and covering a wide spectral range are realized. A comparison is made between waveguide and surface normal photodiodes with the latter...
We demonstrate a simple method to experimentally evaluate nonlinear transmission performance of high order modulation formats using a low number of channels and channel-like ASE. We verify it's behaviour is consistent with the AWGN model of transmission.
We demonstrate the first multi-wavelength regeneration of quadrature phase shift keyed (QPSK) formatted signals, showing a simultaneous Q2-factor improvement in excess of 3.8 dB for signals degraded by phase distortion
Progress on active and passive photonic components (high speed lasers, detectors, modulators, waveguides, optical hybrids, arrayed waveguide grating mux/demux) operating at wavelengths around 2 microns are described.
We experimentally demonstrate a novel fibre nonlinearity compensation technique for CO-OFDM based on phase-conjugated pilots (PCPs), showing that, by varying the PCP overhead a performance improvement up to 4 dB can be achieved allowing highly flexible adaptation to link characteristics.
We demonstrate the use of passive electrical filters to produce high quality spectrally-shaped 29 Gbaud WDM signals with a 20 dB bandwidth of 32 GHz, a roll-off of 4.8 dB/GHz and a required OSNR of 12.1 dB.
To achieve the Shannon Capacity Limit, we need to develop practical, effective and deployable non-linear devices to invert the non-linear effects of the transmission line. In this work, we will summarise the progress we are making to realise these, specifically looking at optical phase conjugation and phase regenerators as methods to improve non-linear tolerances.
We introduce two techniques to measure the efficiency of inter mode FWM with respect to intra mode FWM. The first technique allows an estimation of the additional FWM penalty for any given system; the second isolates the contribution of each mode. Measurements are compared to an analytical model showing the FWM signal increases by ∼2dB with inter mode phase matching.
