Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to an optical waveguide fiber communications system, and particularly to such a communication system comprising negative dispersion waveguide fiber and a source of positively chirped signals.
  • Cost is a very important consideration in intra-city links, where the density of nodes is high.
  • a promising strategy is one that involves matching system components in such a way that a particular property of one component compensates a deficiency in another component.
  • the component matching strategy is one in which a given component is designed to allow another component to operate more efficiently or effectively.
  • Such compensation schemes have been effective, for example, in reducing dispersion penalty by adding a dispersion compensating module to the end of a communications link, thereby recovering a desired signal to noise ratio or signal pulse shape.
  • Another example of effective compensation is the use of large effective area waveguide fiber in communications systems in which non-linear effects are a major source of signal degradation.
  • the positive chirp that results from directly modulating a laser for example, a distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser
  • a distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser can be offset by using optical waveguide fiber having negative total dispersion over a desired range of operating wavelengths.
  • the effect of the negative dispersion fiber does not depend upon the type of light source or modulation scheme.
  • the beneficial effect is achieved when the negative dispersion fiber is used in conjunction with a signal having a positive chirp.
  • Matching a waveguide fiber to a positively chirped DFB semiconductor laser is a cost effective combination, especially because, in addition to being low in cost, the DFB semiconductor laser has relatively high power output and good longevity.
  • direct modulation is simpler and less expensive than external modulation schemes.
  • Chromatic dispersion arises because different frequency components of a pulse or signal travel with different group velocities in the fiber. Chromatic dispersion is characterized by the so called dispersion parameter D which is expressed in units of ps/nm-km. The value of the dispersion parameter D is the sum of two terms, one arising from the fiber material and the other from geometric characteristics of the waveguide.
  • the product of the length of a waveguide fiber and the dispersion parameter D (including material and waveguide contributions) will be subsequently called the dispersion product.
  • a link may be made of waveguide fiber within which the chromatic dispersion changes along the fiber length.
  • the sum of dispersion products for a fiber length is the algebraic addition of the individual dispersion products associated with the individual fiber lengths. In symbols, the sum of dispersion products is ⁇ Dj x U where, Dj is the dispersion parameter over the length U and the total length of the fiber is ⁇ j L,.
  • the dispersion parameter of a waveguide fiber is, by convention, positive when shorter wavelength light propagates at a higher speed than light of longer wavelength. The converse is the definition of negative dispersion waveguide fiber.
  • a waveguide fiber telecommunications link is made up of a transmitter of light signals, a receiver of light signals, and a length of waveguide fiber having respective ends optically coupled to the transmitter and receiver to propagate light signals therebetween.
  • a link can include additional optical components such as optical amplifiers, optical attenuators, optical switches, optical filters, or multiplexing or demultiplexing devices.
  • One may denote a group of inter-connected links as a telecommunications system.
  • - Extinction ratio is defined as the ratio of the transmitted power Pi when the transmitter is in the on state (a one bit is transmitted) to the transmitted power P 0 when the transmitter is in the off state (a zero bit is transmitted).
  • a positively chirped signal source produces pulses in which the carrier frequency varies along the pulse time axis. That is, the frequency of the electric field of the output pulse is red or blue shifted compared to the frequency of the laser at the threshold.
  • a conventional single- electrode DFB semiconductor laser produces pulses with an average blue shift, herein defined as positive chirp.
  • the chirp in a signal for example a signal from a directly modulated DFB laser, can be expressed approximately as a combination of adiabatic chirp and transient chirp.
  • Adiabatic chirp is proportional to the output power of the signal.
  • Transient chirp is proportional to the derivative of the output power of the signal and so is present only in the time periods when the signal power is in transition between a 0 and a 1 (or a 1 to a 0).
  • Dispersion power penalty of a link is the reduction of the link power budget due to dispersion-induced distortion of the signal.
  • the dispersion penalty is expressed as eye closure penalty.
  • the eye diagram is known in the art as the eye shaped opening formed when adjacent signal pulses begin to overlap. As overlap increases, the eye is said to close. This is a convenient way to refer to the reduction in signal to noise ratio due to pulse dispersion.

  • One aspect of the present invention is a telecommunications link that includes an optical signal transmitter, an optical signal receiver, and a length of optical waveguide fiber optically connected between the transmitter and receiver to carry the light signals from the transmitter to the receiver. At least a portion of the waveguide fiber of the telecommunications link has negative dispersion and the optical signals of the transmitter are positively chirped. In addition, the signal chirp is predominately adiabatic.
  • the signal source is a directly modulated laser included in the transmitter.
  • the laser is a directly modulated DFB semiconductor laser.
  • the positively chirped signal pulses originate in a continuous wave source of optical power that is externally modulated.
  • Adiabatic laser chirp is characterized by a relatively high gain compression factor, e.g., one in the range of 4 x 10 "23 m 3 to 30 x 10 "23 m 3 .
  • adiabatic chirp is favored in laser operating conditions in which the extinction ratio is not greater than about 20 dB. Extinction ratios which fall in the range of 5 dB to 11.5 dB are preferred.
  • An extinction ratio as high as 20 dB is contemplated in communications links that include forward error correction.
  • Forward error correction is a scheme by which bits that become corrupted during data transmission can be corrected. This requires electronics to encode the data before transmission and to decode the data after reception. The forward error correction electronics is known in the art and need not be discussed further here.

  • An example of a positively chirped laser is the distributed feedback semiconductor laser which is directly modulated.
  • Chirp can be characterized as adiabatic which means the chirp is proportional to the optical output power of the laser. In contrast, transient chirp is proportional to the rate of change of optical output power with time.
  • the chirp In the case of the directly modulated DFB lasers, the chirp is predominantly adiabatic when the laser is always operated well above threshold with low extinction ratios (e.g. 6dB).
