Dispersion Managed Optical Fiber Transmission Considering Fiber Nonlinearity
摘要
In transoceanic optical amplifier repeater systems with transmission distances reaching 10,000 km, various factors causing transmission performance degradation accumulate over distance. As a result, the chromatic dispersion and fiber nonlinearity lead to significant degradation of the signal waveform, making it difficult to achieve higher bit rates. After the development of the 5 Gb/s single-channel Trans-Pacific optical submarine cable system, TPC-5, significant efforts have been made to investigate high-speed transmission technologies to expand bit rates by 4–8 times. However, it was difficult to increase the bit rate to over 10 Gb/s with conventional rectangular NRZ-OOK optical signals in long-distance transmission over Trans-Pacific distance. This chapter discusses single-channel long-distance transmission using RZ-OOK optical signals suitable for high-speed transmission, targeting bit rates of 20–40 Gb/s.
