Title
Adaptive Optical Technologies for Optical Transmission Systems
Abstract
The emerging popularity of bandwidth-starving applications (such as internet video, cloud storage etc) has lead to an exponential growth of the amount of data to be transmitted over long distances using optical fibre. Fibre transmission impairments, like chromatic dispersion (CD) remain a limiting factor on optical transmission and hence their compensation becomes of vital importance. Furthermore, the severe reduction of dispersion tolerances in high-rate systems escalates the necessity of addressing any induced pulse broadening. Since the usage of dispersion compensating fibre has proved to be a bulky and expensive solution accompanied with significant power loss, current focus is on the deployment of cost efficient Digital Signal Processing approaches for mitigating CD effects. In this work, assessment of DSP based equalization techniques is performed and specifically three different equalizers are deployed and investigated in terms of their performance with respect to their feasibility and complexity. In order to fully explore their ability in alleviating residual dispersion, each equalizer's performance is evaluated in different optical transmission system configurations. For this purpose, a point to point optical transmission system comprising various Direct Detection modulation formats and different bit rates with variable ratios of uncompensated chromatic dispersion are examined.
