We have investigated gain flattening of EDFA systems with or without a gain equalizer for WDM long-haul transmission using a re-circulating EDFA loop. Without a gain equalizer, gain variation as small as 2.9 dB was achieved over the 10-nm band of a 100 cascaded EDFA system by the inversion principle. With a gain equalizer based on all-fiber acousto-optic tunable filters, two different config-urations of EDFAs were tested. For a single-stage EDFA scheme, the 21-nm band has shown 3.8 dB of gain variation at 17.4 ∼ 20.3 dB of OSNRs after the 100the stage of EDFAs. For a dual-stage EDFA scheme, a wider bandwidth of 34 nm has shown 3.6-dB variation after 40 cascaded EDFAs.

We propose a dispersion-managed link with a non-midway optical phase conjugator (OPC), in which the residual dispersion per span (RDPS) of each fiber span is different for each transmission section before and after OPC. We numerically demonstrate the compensation for 960-Gb/s wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) signals distorted by chromatic dispersion and Kerr nonlinearity of the fiber. We consider different cases for non-midway OPC, including six fiber spans - OPC - 14 fiber spans and 14 fiber spans - OPC - 6 fiber spans. The numerical results show that the compensation of the distorted 960 Gb/s WDM is more efficient when the OPC is placed after 6-th fiber span as compared to after the 14-th fiber span. Our simulation results also indicate that the compensation effect increases when the difference in net residual dispersion between both transmission sections is not large, but they are not the same. Under this condition, the larger the magnitude of the RDPSs of each fiber span, the greater the compensation.

In dispersion management, which involves additionally inserting a dispersion compensation fiber of an appropriate length to eliminate or reduce the chromatic dispersion of a single-mode fiber, determining the form of the dispersion map, which is the cumulative dispersion profile according to the transmission distance, is the most basic and important. In this paper, the various symmetric dispersion map based on trapezoids applied to dispersion-managed links combined with mid-span spectral inversion (MSSI), which compensates for the distortion caused by Kerr nonlinear effects through optical phase conjugation in the middle of the entire transmission link are proposed, and the effect of each dispersion map on distortion compensation of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signals is analyzed. Although the degree of compensation varies depending on the factors that determine the detailed shape of the proposed trapezoid-shaped dispersion map and RDPS (residual dispersion per span), overall, it was confirmed that distortion compensation for signals with a small extinction ratio was more effective than distortion compensation for WDM channel signals with a large extinction ratio.

In this paper, we investigated the degree of compensation for distorted optical pulse of wavelength division multiplexed(WDM) channel with initial frequency chirp generated in optical transmitter. The WDM channel signal distortion is due to chromatic dispersion, self phase modulation(SPM) and cross phase modulation(XPM) in fiber. The considered system is 3 ${\times}$ 40 Gbps intensity modulation direct detection(IM/DD) WDM transmission systems, which adopted mid-span spectral inversion(MSSI) as compensation method. We confirmed that the effect of initial frequency chirp on compensation for signal distortion due to a SPM is gradually decreased as a dispersion coefficient of fiber becomes gradually small. But, in the aspect of a compensation for signal distortion due to both SPM and XPM, the effect of initial frequency chirp on compensation is gradually decreased as a dispersion coefficient of fiber becomes gradually large.

In this paper, the optimal position of optical phase conjugator(OPC) excellently compensating distorted WDM channels with initial frequency chirp due to both chromatic dispersion and self phase modulation(SPM) is numerically investigated. Highly-nonlinear dispersion shifted fiber(HNL-DSF) is used as a nonlinear medium of OPC in order to widely compensate WDM signal band. It is confirmed that if the OPC position was shifted from mid-way of total transmission length dependence on the initial frequency chirp as well as modulation format and fiber dispersion coefficient, it is possible to cancel the performance degradation owing to the initial frequency chirp. Using proposed configuration, it is possible to remove all in-line dispersion compensator, reducing span losses and system costs in the long-haul broadband WDM systems.

본 연구는 WDM(wavelength-division-multiplexed) 전송 시스템에서 안정된 파장의 광 송신기를 설계하고 구현하기 위한 것이다. 기본적으로 광 출력의 안정성을 위하여 10uA 미만의 안정성을 갖는 정전류 회로를 설계하려 했으며, 출력되는 광의 파장은 Wavelength Locker를 이용 에러신호를 검출하고, 이 신호로 레이저 다이오드 모듈 내부의 온도를 제어하여 파장을 조절하였다. 최종적으로 이들은 A/D, D/A 컨버터와 $\mu$-Processor로 구성된 마이컴 회로를 통해서 제어되도륵 하였다. 또한 마이컴 회로는 송신기가 WDM 전송 시스템에 장착되었을 때의 시스템과의 인터페이스를 위한 신호들을 출력할 수 있도록 하였다.

The compensation characteristics of the distorted WDM channels compensated for by dispersion management (DM) and optical phase conjugation in the long-haul (50 fiber spans ${\times}80km$) transmission link with the randomly distributed single mode fiber (SMF) length and residual dispersion per spans (RDPS) are investigated as a function of the arrangement of SMF and dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) and the control position of net residual dispersion (NRD). It is confirmed that the compensation effect of the distorted WDM channels strongly depends on the arragement of SMF and DCF, rather than the control position of NRD.

System performance improvement through the concentrated residual dispersion per span (RDPS) in special transmission fiber spans in optical transmission links with dispersion management (DM) for wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) transmission is investigated through the comparison with the performance in optical transmission links with uniform RDPS in every fiber spans. It is confirmed that, in optical links with RDPS of 0 ps/nm uniformly distributed in the rest fiber spans, if RDPS of 300 ps/nm and 1,320 ps/nm are concentrated in 5th-13th fiber spans and 6th-13th fiber spans, respectively, then the best performance is obtained. It is also confirmed that optimal net residual dispersion (NRD) controlled by precompensation and postcompensation are 10 ps/nm and -10 ps/nm, respectively, in all two cases, and the effective launching power range below 1 dB eye opening penalty (EOP) in the concentrated RDPS of 300 ps/nm and 1,320 ps/nm are improved by 2 dB and 6 dB than optical transmission links with the uniformly distributed RDPS, respectively.

This paper presents a noble optical access system using shared laser and LED light sources, which is based on WDM-PON technologies. This system adopts an external modulation of the shared laser sources for high-speed downstream and a direct modulation of the LED sources for low-speed upstream. To split or combine the transmission channels, AWG(Arrayed Wave-guide Grating) devices are used in the optical cable section. The proposed system is attractive for low cost implementation. The laser light sources can share the optical carriers in the downstream scheme. Also, in upstream, the LED sources can afford to make simple of the circuits for controlling light source and of standardization for ONU(Optical Network Unit). The feasibility of the proposed system is demonstrated by several experiments. Our results show that the system operates well at 2.SGbps for downstream and up to 622.08Mbps for upstream.

In this paper, the characteristics of compensation for interferenced mid-channel signal by neighbor channels through four-wave mixing (FWM) process dominantly is investigated as a function of channel input power, fiber dispersion coefficient and transmission length in WDM system with equally spaced channels. The compensation method used in this research is mid-span spectral inversion(MSSI). The highly nonlinear dispersion shifted fiber (HNL-DSF) is used as a nonlinear medium of optical phase conjugator (OPC) in order to compensate wideband WDM signals. First, we confirmed that the effect of FWM on channel interference is gradually reduced as fiber dispersion coefficient becomes gradually smaller, independent of signal format. And, we confirmed that RZ is better than NRZ as a modulation format for transmitting high power channel with allowable reception quality. But realization of flexible WDM systems regardless of channel number variation is possible by using NRZ rather than RZ format.
