Abstract

In this paper, compensation characteristics of distorted WDM channel due to both chromatic dispersion and self phase modulation (SPM) is numerically investigated under the assumptions of non-uniformly distributed fiber dispersion, in order to inspect the application of mid-span spectral inversion (MSSI) to any exact transmission links. The MSSI is compensation method used in this approach. This method has an optical phase conjugator (OPC) placed in mid-way of total transmission length to compensate distorted WDM channels. It is confirmed that MSSI will become applicable to long-haul WDM systems by controlling input light power of transmission channels, when the averaged dispersion of both fiber sections with respect OPC was varied and distributed unequally each other. Applying MSSI to long-haul WDM system, it is possible to remove all in-line compensator, consequently it will be expected to reducing system cost.

광섬유의 분산이 균일하지 않다는 가정 하에 색 분산과 자기 위상 변조 (SPM : Self Phase Modulation) 현상에 의해 왜곡된 WDM 채널의 보상 특성을 수치적으로 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서 사용한 보상 기법은 전체 전송 링크 중간에 광 위상 공액기 (OPC： Optical Phase Conjugator)를 두어 보상하는 MSSI (Mid-Span Spectral Inversion)이다. OPC를 중심으로 두 광섬유 구간의 분산 계수 분포가 변동하면서 서로 일치하지 않은 경우에도 전송 채널의 입력 전력을 적절히 조절함으로써 MSSI를 통해 장거리 전송이 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 즉 장거리 WDM 시스템에 MSSI를 적용하게 되면 전송 선로 곳곳에 필요한 보상기(compensator) 등을 없앨 수 있고, 결과적으로 시스템 비용을 절감할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
