Abstract

In this paper, it is investigated that the limitation due to the asymmetry of optical power with respect to optical phase conjugator(OPC) in mid-span spectral inversion(MSSI) for compensating optical signal distortion due to group velocity dispersion(GVD) and nonlinearities generated in fiber by combining with lumped dispersion management(DM) technique into MSSI. Two kinds of lumped DM configuration(configuration A and configuration B) are considered and compared each other in this research. Configuration A consists of two dispersion compensating fiber(DCF) span positioned after transmitter and before receiver, respectively. Configuration B consists of two dispersion compensating fiber(DCF) span positioned before and after OPC placed at middle of total transmission link, respectively. It is confirmed that the transmission performances are more improved by the configuration A combined with MSSI than configuration B. Also, it is confirmed that the best performance of overall channels are obtained by making net residual dispersion(NRD) to have positive value in self phase modulation(SPM)-limited WDM transmission systems, irrelevant to the configuration of DM.

본 논문에서는 광섬유에서 발생하는 그룹 속도 분산과 비선형 효과에 의한 왜곡을 보상하기 위해 적용하는 MSSI(Mid-Span Spectral Inversion)에서 광 위상 공액기(OPC; optical phase conjugator)를 중심으로 광 전력의 비대칭화 때문에 나타나는 기술적 한계를 부가적으로 집중형 분산 제어(DM; dispersion management) 기술을 결합시켜 극복할 수 있다는 것을 고찰하였다. 본 연구에서 고려한 집중형 DM은 송신단 바로 다음과 수신단 바로 앞에만 분산 보상 광섬유(DCF; dispersion compensating fiber)를 두는 구조(구조 A)와 전체 전송 링크 중간에 위치한 OPC의 바로 전후에 DCF를 두는 구조(구조 B)로 나누어 각 경우에 대해 전송 성능 개선 정도를 비교하였다. 분석 결과 MSSI에 구조 A의 집중형 DM이 결합된 경우가 구조 B가 결합된 경우에 비해 전송 성능을 크게 개선하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 고려한 2가지 구조 모두 비선형 현상 중 자기 위상 변조(SPM; self phase modulation)에 의해 성능이 제한되는 WDM 시스템에서 총 전송 링크의 전체 잉여 분산량(NRD; net residual dispersion)이 양의 값으로 결정되어야 모든 채널에 대해 최상의 성능을 얻을 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.
