Definitions
- the present invention relates to optical networks and more particularly, to dispersion management in an optical network using a differential phase-shift-keying modulation format.
- DPSK differential phase-shift-keying
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an optical communication system, consistent with one embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a plot of system Q vs. wavelength for various system average dispersions illustrating an optimal system average dispersion consistent one embodiment of the present invention.
- the illustrated exemplary optical communication system 100 includes a transmitter 102 and a receiver 106 connected via an optical transmission path 104. Data may be modulated on a plurality of wavelengths at the transmitter 102 for transmission over the optical information channel 104.
- the system 100 is illustrated as including a distinct transmitter 102 and receiver 106, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize the transmitter 102 and receiver 106 may each be configured as a transceiver to facilitate bi- directional communication over the optical information channel.
- System 100 may be employed to span a body of water 112.
- amplifiers/repeaters 108-1, 108-2, 108-3, 108-(N-I), 108-N may be seated on the ocean floor 114 and the transmission path 104 may span between beach landings 116, 118 to extend from the water 112 for coupling to the transmitter 102 and receiver 106.
- a plurality of optical transmission components may be coupled to the transmission path 104 and may be disposed beneath water and/or over land.
- data may be modulated on a plurality of wavelengths in a WDM system using a DPSK modulation format, and dispersion management may be accomplished according to a dispersion map that allows accumulation of dispersion to thousands of picoseconds/nanometer (ps/nm) (e.g. at least - 2000 ps/nm in one embodiment) for all wavelength in the system bandwidth, e.g. by allowing accumulation of dispersion with average dispersion at least -0.2 ps/nm/km).
- ps/nm picoseconds/nanometer
- dispersion of 4,000 to 5,000 ps/nm or more may be imparted for at least one wavelength in the system bandwidth, e.g.
- FIG. 2 there is illustrated an exemplary dispersion map, represented by plot 200, for an exemplary system 100 consistent with the invention wherein the shore spans 120, 122 include dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) and the remaining spans 124-1, 124-2, 124-1, are constructed from non-zero dispersion flattened fiber (DFF) to form a dispersion accumulation portion of the transmission span.
- DFF dispersion flattened fiber
- the plot 200 has several portions 202, 204, 206.
- the first portion 202 indicates a positive compensation by a positive DCF at the shore span 120.
- the positive DCF may be a fiber such as the type available from OFS under the name Ultrawave SLA.
- the second portion 204 of the plot indicates accumulation of negative dispersion over the DFF of the spans 124-1, 124-2, 124-1 to thousands of ps/nm for each wavelength in the system bandwidth.
- dispersion may be allowed to accumulate on the DFF to with the rate of -0.2 ps/nm/km or more for all wavelengths in the signal bandwidth, and may exceed the rate of accumulation -0.4 to -0.5 ps/nm/km or more for at least one wavelength in the signal bandwidth.
- DPSK modulated WDM systems are tolerant to accumulated dispersion in excess of -18,000 ps/nm.
- dispersion compensation may be provided only at one or more of the shore spans 120, 122 across even trans-pacific distances of 10,000 km or more.
- the one or more of the spans immediately adjacent the shore spans e.g. spans 124-1 and 124-1, may include DCF to provide any additional desired compensation.
- Dispersion compensation for a DPSK modulated system may, however, be provided at any location on the optical transmission path where the total accumulated dispersion for all signals in the system bandwidth reaches a level of thousands of ps/nm, e.g. -2000 ps/nm for a system constructed using DFF.
- dispersion compensation may be provided in the middle of an optical path, at the middle and at one or more of the shore spans, or other locations or combination of locations.
- the specific negative average dispersion accumulation and minimum dispersion wavelength for optimizing performance of a particular system may vary depending on system characteristics and requirements.
- an optimum system Q may be achieved using a system with average dispersion of about -0.5 ps/ (nm • km), producing about -3400 ps/nm of accumulated dispersion with a difference in accumulated dispersion across the system bandwidth of less than 850 ps/nm.
- Dispersion may be allowed to accumulate on the DPSK modulated wavelengths for several thousands of ps/nm, e.g., about 2000 ps/nm for all wavelengths in the signal band with a negative average dispersion. Dispersion may be compensated after such accumulation by dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) such as conventional single mode fiber (conventional SMF).
- DCF dispersion compensating fiber
- the NZDSF may be a fiber such as the True Wave XL and/or SRS available from OFS; LEAF available from Corning.
- the conventional SMF may include fiber such as AllWave available from OFS; or SMF-28 available from Corning.
- the NZDSF may have a dispersion of about -3 ps/nm and the conventional SMF may have a dispersion of about 17 ps/nm.
- the exemplary embodiments described herein use specific types of fibers, those skilled in the art will recognize that the dispersion mapping techniques consistent with the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented with other fiber types. Again, allowing dispersion to accumulate to thousands of ps/nm in a DPSK modulated system allows a significant simplification of the cost and complexity of the system.
- FIG. 3 for example, there is illustrated an exemplary dispersion map 300 for an exemplary system 100 consistent with the invention wherein the optical transmission path is constructed from NZDSF compensated by conventional SMF. The system bandwidth in FIG.
- the illustrated exemplary dispersion map 300 includes plots 302, 304 and 306 showing accumulated dispersion vs. distance for the shortest wavelength 1542.1 nm, a middle wavelength 1550.0 nm, and the longest wavelength 1559.0 nm, respectively.
- multiple dispersion accumulation portions e.g. encompassing several spans, are established in the transmission path by NZDSF and multiple dispersion compensation portions are established in the transmission path by the conventional SMF.
- plot 302 illustrates accumulation of negative dispersion on the NZDSF fiber, e.g. in segments 308-1, 308-2, etc.
- Plot 304 illustrates accumulation of negative dispersion on the NZDSF fiber, e.g. in segments 312-1, 312-2, etc. of the plot, with compensation by positive dispersion of conventional SMF, e.g. in segments 314-1, 314-2, etc of the plot.
- Plot 306 illustrates accumulation of negative dispersion on the NZDSF fiber, e.g. in segments 316-1, 316-2, etc. of the plot, with compensation by positive dispersion conventional SMF, e.g. in segments 312-1, 312-2, etc. of the plot.
- an optical communication system including a transmitter configured to transmit a plurality of optical signals at different associated wavelengths within a signal band of wavelengths using a differential phase shift keying (DPSK) modulation format; a receiver configured to received the plurality of optical signals; and a transmission path extending between the transmitter and the receiver.
- DPSK differential phase shift keying
- the transmission path includes at least one dispersion accumulation portion configured to allow accumulation of dispersion at a rate of at least -0.4 ps/nm/km for at least one of said wavelengths, and at least one dispersion compensation portion coupled to the dispersion accumulation portion and configured to compensate for at least a portion of the dispersion accumulated on the dispersion accumulation portion.
- a method of managing dispersion in an optical communication system including: transmitting a plurality of optical signals at different associated wavelengths within a signal band of wavelengths using a differential phase shift keying (DPSK) modulation format; allowing accumulation of chromatic dispersion at a rate of at least -0.4 ps/nm/km for at least one of said wavelengths as the optical signals propagate on a transmission path; and compensating for chromatic dispersion in the optical signals after the allowing the chromatic dispersion to accumulate.
