Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical study of transmission performance for an optical NRZ (nonreturn-to-zero) transmitter employed a Mach-Zehnder modulator. Especially, we have investigated the effects of the ${\alpha}$-parameters that represents the chirps and the driving voltage ratios(=driving voltage/switching voltage) of Mach-Zehnder modulators for transmitting 25Gbps optical NRZ signals at a wavelength of 1550nm without any dispersion compensation methods over single mode fiber. By optimizing the negative values of ${\alpha}$-parameters for the dispersion tolerance with the change of driving voltage ratios, it has been tested whether the transmission performance has improved. We have verified the improvement by the BERs and the optical eye diagrams.

본 논문은 마크-젠더 변조기를 사용하여 광 신호를 생성하는 광 NRZ(nonreturn-to-zero) 송신기의 전송 특성을 이론적으로 분석하였다. 특히 단일 모드 광섬유를 통하여 분산 보상 방법 없이 1550nm 파장에서 25Gbps 광 NRZ 신호를 전송하고 그 성능을 chirp을 나타내는 ${\alpha}$-계수와 마크-젠더 변조기의 구동 전압비(=구동 전압/스위칭 전압)의 영향을 고려하여 평가하였다. 분산을 개선하기 위하여 음의 값을 가진 ${\alpha}$-계수를 사용하고 그 값들과 함께 구동 전압비의 크기를 적절히 조정하여 최적화된 상태에서 성능 개선을 시험하였다. 개선된 전송 성능은 비트 오류율(Bit Error Rate)과 광 아이 다이어그램으로 확인되었다.
