Abstract

We propose to implement cost-effectively a high-speed short-haul interconnect by transmitting a 200-Gb/s/λ two-channel optical time-division-multiplexed signal generated by a carrier-suppressed optical pulse, which improves the robustness of the multiplexed signal to chromatic dispersion. The multiplexed 200-Gb/s signal is generated in the transmitter by combining two 100-Gb/s 4-level pulse-amplitude-modulated signals (generated using the optical pulse and two Mach-Zehnder modulators). After the signal is transmitted over a fiber, it is amplified by a semiconductor optical amplifier and detected by a photodiode. The amplified spontaneous emission noise is eliminated by an optical band-pass filter. The transmitted signal is reconstructed by a 2 × 2 multiple-input multiple-output equalizer, which compensates for crosstalk. Due to the use of the carrier-suppressed optical pulse, the 200-Gb/s signal can be transmitted over fiber with a chromatic dispersion of 40 ps/nm.

파장당 200 Gb/s급 신호를 전송하는 고속 근거리 광통신 시스템을 비용 효율적으로 구축하기 위한 방안으로서 캐리어 억제 펄스 기반의 2채널 광학적 시분할 다중화 시스템을 제안한다. 캐리어 억제 펄스는 널 바이어스가 인가된 마하 젠더 변조기로 생성되며, 이는 시분할 다중화 신호를 색분산에 강인하게 만든다. 송신부에서는 캐리어 억제 펄스를 둘로 분기하고, 각각을 100 Gb/s의 4레벨 진폭 변조 신호로 변조한 후, 광학적 시분할 다중화를 통해 200 Gb/s의 신호를 생성한다. 다중화된 광 신호는 광섬유로 전송된 후, 반도체 광 증폭기로 증폭되며, 한 개의 광 검출기로 검출된다. 증폭기에 의해 발생한 잡음은 광학 필터로 제거된다. 시분할 다중화 과정에서 발생하는 누화는 다중 입력-다중 출력 이퀄라이저로 보상한다. 본 연구에서는 200 Gb/s의 고속 신호를 40 ps/nm의 색분산을 갖는 광섬유로 전송하여도 3.8×10-3 이하의 비트 오율을 확보할 수 있음을 시뮬레이션으로 확인하였다.
