Abstract

Optical link techniques compensating chromatic dispersion and nonlinear effects, which affect distortion of optical signals, generated in single mode fiber are investigated through computer simulation and design rule of these link techniques is proposed for implementation of wideband and long-haul WDM ($24{\times}40$ Gbps) transmission system. The optical link consist of dispersion management (DM) compensating the cumulated dispersion through total transmission line and optical phase conjugation in middle of total transmission line for compensating distorted signals by frequency inversion. DM schemes considered in this research are lumped DM and inline DM. It is confirmed that eye opening penalty (EOP) of overall WDM channels are more improved than those in WDM transmission systems with only optical phase conjugator (OPC), if DM is additionally applied to these systems. And, design rule in both DM schemes are proposed by using effective residual dispersion range. It is confirmed that inline DM is better than lumped DM in the improving EOP of total WDM channels and in effective residual dispersion range.

대용량 장거리 WDM ($24{\times}40$ Gbps) 전송 시스템의 구현을 위해 단일 모드 광섬유에서 발생하여 WDM 채널 신호에 왜곡을 발생시키는 색 분산과 비선형 효과를 보상하는 광 링크 기술을 전산 시늉을 통해 살펴보고 그 설계 기준을 제안하였다. 링크 전송 기술은 전체 전송로에서 축적된 분산을 분산 보상 광섬유를 통해 보상하는 분산 제어 (DM; dispersion management)와 전체 전송로 중간에서 왜곡된 신호의 주파수를 반전시켜 보상하는 광위상 공액 기술로 구성된다. 본 연구에서 살펴본 DM은 집중형과 inline의 2 가지 구조이다. 전송 링크에 OPC (optical phase conjugator)만 적용된 WDM 전송 시스템에서의 경우에 비해 DM이 추가적으로 적용되면 모든 WDM 채널들의 눈 열림 패널티가 크게 개선되는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 두 DM 구조 모두에서 유효 잉여 분산 범위를 이용하여 전송 링크의 설계 기준을 제시하였다. WDM 전체 채널들의 EOP 개선과 유효 잉여 분산 범위 모두 inline DM 구조가 집중형 DM 구조보다 더욱 양호한 결과를 나타냄을 확인하였다.
