OPTICAL NETWORKS AND TECHNOLOGIES IFIP – The International Federation for Information Processing IFIP was founded in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO, following the First World Computer Congress held in Paris the previous year An umbrella organization for societies working in information processing, IFIP’s aim is two-fold: to support information processing within its member countries and to encourage technology transfer to developing nations As its mission statement clearly states, IFIP’s mission is to be the leading, truly international, apolitical organization which encourages and assists in the development, exploitation and application of information technology for the benefit of all people IFIP is a non-profitmaking organization, run almost solely by 2500 volunteers It operates through a number of technical committees, which organize events and publications IFIP’s events range from an international congress to local seminars, but the most important are: The IFIP World Computer Congress, held every second year; Open conferences; Working conferences The flagship event is the IFIP World Computer Congress, at which both invited and contributed papers are presented Contributed papers are rigorously refereed and the rejection rate is high As with the Congress, participation in the open conferences is open to all and papers may be invited or submitted Again, submitted papers are stringently refereed The working conferences are structured differently They are usually run by a working group and attendance is small and by invitation only Their purpose is to create an atmosphere conducive to innovation and development Refereeing is less rigorous and papers are subjected to extensive group discussion Publications arising from IFIP events vary The papers presented at the IFIP World Computer Congress and at open conferences are published as conference proceedings, while the results of the working conferences are often published as collections of selected and edited papers Any national society whose primary activity is in information may apply to become a full member of IFIP, although full membership is restricted to one society per country Full members are entitled to vote at the annual General Assembly, National societies preferring a less committed involvement may apply for associate or corresponding membership Associate members enjoy the same benefits as full members, but without voting rights Corresponding members are not represented in IFIP bodies Affiliated membership is open to non-national societies, and individual and honorary membership schemes are also offered OPTICAL NETWORKS AND TECHNOLOGIES IFIP TC6 / WG6.10 First Optical Networks & Technologies Conference (OpNeTec), October 18-20, 2004, Pisa, Italy Edited by

operations, providing, at the same time, a cost effective signal power transients control and acceptable optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) performances EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP Fig shows the experimental set-up we have used to reproduce a worst case scenario in term of transient effects Seven, high power, 100 GHz spaced DFB lasers (from 1552.5 nm to 1557.6 nm) are multiplexed and switched on and off at 100 Hz by an acouto-optic modulator, before being combined with a probe signal at 1551.7 nm (the modulation period is ms, much longer than the network round trip time, which is about Note that in order to reproduce adding and dropping of 23/24 channels, the power/channel of the seven loading signals is always chosen about dB higher than the probe power (10log10(23/7)=5.16) Fig 1: Experimental set-up representing a worst case scenario All WDM signals are then inserted into the ring, at the first EDFA input, and then propagated along the network before being extracted at the last EDFA output, through a fixed channels add-drop multiplexer which leaves the ASE light to freely circulate in the ring All EDFAs in the network are operated at constant pump power (100 mW at 980 nm) The set-up shown in Fig allows us to measure the output spectrum, optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR), the probe power 597 transients induced by add-drop operations and the probe bit-error-rate performances at 10 Gb/s Note that two dispersion compensating fiber spools (1380 ps/nm) are introduced respectively at the transmitter and receiver side, to compensate exactly for the accumulated chromatic dispersion Variable optical attenuators (VOA) are used in each fiber span (25 km of standard SMF) and at the transmitter side in order to investigate network performances in different operation conditions such as varying the input power per channel and the span losses WDM RING NETWORK PERFORMANCES We have first investigated the probe power transient behaviour (see Fig 2) at the last EDFA output, under 23/24 WDM channels add-drop operations at the first EDFA input; the input probe power is –17 dBm and the span loss is 20 dB, high enough to ensure stable gain peaking at around 1532 nm, that is far enough from the WDM signal band (from 1542 nm to 1561 nm with 24, 100 GHz spaced channels) Note that, for a given EDFA structure and input power per channel, the span loss must be optimized in order to ensure the best compromise between good OSNR performances and lasing stability at around 1532 nm, under full WDM channels add-drop operations Fig 2: Transient behaviour at the last EDFA output induced by 23/24 WDM channels adddrop at the first EDFA input 598 From Fig we can notice a maximum probe power overshoot ( PTOT) of about 3.5 dB, which is very small if compared with the strong power transient which would be expected in such a long EDFA chain without any gain control Also note that after each loop transit time the lasing ligth, recirculating along the ring, clamps the gain with typical probe power transients induced by the lasing relaxation oscillations The clamping mechanism, provided by the ASE light re-circulation, is only partially effective and the steady-state probe power level remains about 2.5 dB above the steady-state condition with full network load this is due to spectral hole burning and un-homogeneous gain Fig 3: Probe power excursion at the last EDFA output induced by 23/24 WDM channels add and drop versus input signal power per channel We have also investigated the probe power transients by varying the input signal power per channel Fig clearly shows that both maximum overshoot and steady-state power difference grow with the input power per channel This is due to the fact that the more the lasing light is predominant, compared to the total signal power, the more the clamping mechanism, provided by ASE light re-circulation, is effective The probe output OSNR is greater than 24 dB (resolution bandwidth: 0.1 nm) and its maximum OSNR variation, induced by polarization dependent effects, has been measured to be less than about 0.7 dB Also the probe relative intensity noise (RIN) has been measured and compared with open and closed ring, at the same OSNR value: no penalties have been observed due to RIN transfer from laser light to signals However, in order to exclude all possible potential transmission penalties, related to both probe power transients and noise transfer from lasing light to WDM channels, we have performed BER measurment at 10 Gb/s 599 The probe signal has been externally modulated at 10 Gb/s (PRBS 223-1, NRZ format) and BER measurments versus OSNR have been performed under WDM channels add-drop operations Fig shows that no BER penalties have been observed with respect to back-toback conditions (receiver characterization by noise loading) Fig 3: BER versus OSNR with noise loading and with ASE light recirculation CONCLUSIONS We have presented and experimentally demonstrated an effective gain clamping technique, based on free ASE light re-circulation, in EDFA based WDM ring networks for metro applications Experimental results confirm that a proper EDFA and network design ensure robustness to add-drop operations and acceptable OSNR performances, without any transmission penalty related to the presence of ASE light re-circulation ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We thank Mr P Ghiggino for helpful

direct detection of DPSK signals using FBGs is proposed It alleviates the stability requirements of conventional one-bit-delay demodulators and it is suitable for very high data-rates INTRODUCTION Differential Phase-Shift Keying (DPSK) has been proposed as an attractive alternative to On-Off Keying (OOK) in optical fibre communication systems since it is robust to the nonlinear transmission impairments [1, 2] Balanced DPSK receivers using a one-bit-delay interferometer have been widely proposed because of its higher receiver sensitivity [1–3] and can profit from the advantage of integrated optics to realize stable and compact interferometers and balanced detectors However, there are some impairments present in one bit- delay interferometers for balanced DPSK detection [3]: arising from amplitude imbalance, finite extinction ratio of the interferometer, phase imbalance, delay-tobit rate mismatch, frequency offset and polarisation dependent delay Furthermore, the higher the data bit rate the more difficult it is to mitigate the aforementioned degradations We propose a novel DPSK receiver using Fibre Bragg Gratings (FBGs) which alleviates the stabilisation drawbacks of one-bit-delay balanced DPSK receivers Two similar approaches have been proposed before [4, 5], but to the 602 best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a correct recovery of the optical DPSK signal is demonstrated SYSTEM DESIGN The phase shift keying modulation consists on encoding a binary data stream as phase shifts in a signal [6] For an optical wave, this can be represented with the following expression: where is the electrical field power (constant), is the electrical field central frequency, are the binary symbols, is the electric pulse shape, is the phase shift corresponding to each binary transition, usually and the bit period In particular, optical DPSK consists in encoding a logical change in the bit stream, represented by the summation term in Eq by a phase shift of the optical wave [6] Hence, if we consider ideal rectangular pulses: the instantaneous frequency of the electrical field is given by: Hence, the phase shift can be also regarded as an instantaneous frequency shift, so a data transition from to corresponds to an instantaneous down frequency shift, while a to transition results in an instantaneous up frequency shift, which is represented by the delta functions in Eq Therefore, all the information from the original bit stream is encoded in these instantaneous frequency shifts Based on this properties, we propose a novel receiver scheme to recover data using direct detection and optical pre-filtering The setup for the receiver is shown in Fig Thus, to detect properly the optical signals, two FBG cantered in the upper (FBG+) and lower (FBG-) frequencies with respect to the central wavelength can be placed as shown in Fig This splits the positive and negative frequency shifts, which after direct detection are transformed in intensity peaks After the photodetectors some simple electronic components can be employed to convert the detected transitions in the received pulses 603 Figure Schematic diagram of the proposed DPSK receiver(PM: Phase modulator, PC: Power Coupler, FBG: Fibre Bragg Grating) SIMULATIONS The receiver was simulated using available commercial software (VPItransmissionMaker), and the results are shown in Fig 2, for a 10 Gbps bit stream The figure shows the intensity peaks corresponding to the transitions, detected each time data symbols change from to and from to (dark line), and how using a comparator and a low-pass filter, the bit stream is reconstructed (light line) The simulations were carried out for data rates from 2.5 Gbps up to 40 Gbps, and in all the cases we found good agreement between the theory and the simulations EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS We have experimentally implemented the set-up presented in Fig 1, upto point A, to test the theoretical analysis and simulations Only a single branch (one FBG and a single optical photodetector, followed by and oscilloscope) was used, replacing the FBG conveniently to measure the positive and negative frequency shifts respectively We used a continuous wave tunable laser source with an output optical power of -2 dBm An external optical phase modulator was driven by 10 Gb/s PRBS sequence The bit sequence length was with a mark probability for the logical “1” of 7/8, in order to obtain a small number of logical “0” in the fixed pattern The FBG had a reflectivity of 0.5 with a Full-Width Half Maximum of GHz The FBG was used in reflection, as depicted in Fig The results are plotted in Fig In both plots, the electrical transmitted signal and the detected pulse edge transitions are shown, both for the negative and positive frequency shifts, from the laser nominal frequency From the figure, there is a meaningful agreement between the experimental data and the results from the simulations shown in Fig 604 Figure Simulation results intensity peaks at point A (dark line) of Fig and recovered bit stream (light line) at point B of Fig The scale of the oscilloscope is 50 mV/div and ns/div The upper trace of each plot in Fig is the transmitted signals and the lower trace is the recovered data at point A in the setup shown in Fig Fig 3-(a) shows the detected pulse leading edges when the FBG is placed at frequencies lower than the optical carrier, which is in good agreement with the theory and simulations Fig 3-(b) shows the other case, with similar results and conclusions Also, some ripples are observed in the figures, which are attributed to the fact that each time the spectrum is shifted some of the signal energy falls within the FBG side lobes, and is detected by the photodiode This can be alleviated by a proper design in the pulse shaping electronics stage after detection, from A to B in Fig Fig shows the results for the case when the FBG is aligned with the transmitter wavelength It can be seen that each time a logical “0” (a transition in the upper trace) is transmitted, the detected power decreases due to the shift of the spectrum Thus, the receiver scheme of Fig can be simplified to use a single FBG placed at the central wavelength at the expenses of receiver sensitivity, as has been also reported by other authors [5] 605 Figure Transmitted electrical signal and measured pulse edge detection for (a) negative (FBG-) and (b) positive (FBG+) frequency shifts CONCLUSIONS We have proposed a novel receiver scheme for DPSK signals which alleviates the impairments of stabilisation of the conventional one-bit-delay optical interferometer The receiver is based in optical separation, using a filter as for example a fibre Bragg grating, of the lower and upper frequency of a optical PSK signal, which detected independently, yielding intensity peaks after the photodiodes at instants corresponding to the trailing and leading edges, respectively, of the transmitted pulses Although the FBG requires thermal stabilisation, it is less complex than stabilisation of optical interferometers In 606 the interferometer configuration, increasing the bit rate is challenging, since higher precision is needed in the delay line Conversely, the proposed receiver is advantageous in this sense, since it becomes simpler to realize for operation at high bit-rates, because the slopes of the FBGs can then be smoother, and therefore easy to fabricate Moreover, for optical interferometer DPSK demodulators operating at high bit rates, stabilisation issues become stricter One aspect of concern of the proposed scheme is its efficiency in terms of detected energy; however, as it can be seen in Fig the signal-to-noise ratio of the detected signals is good enough for further signal processing Techniques to improve the performance of the proposed scheme are under study such as pulse shaping and grating design Figure Detected signal when the FBG is aligned with the transmitter wavelength REFERENCES [1] J Sinsky, A Adamiecki, A Gnauck, C Burrus, J Leuthold, O Wohlgemuth, S Chandrasekhar, and A Umbach, “RZ-DPSK transmission using a 42.7-Gb/s integrated
