Abstract

Abstract This paper investigates the transmission performance of 16-channel DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system with two complex Optical Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying modulator configurations using 2 LiNb MZM (Mach-Zehnder Modulator) and 3 LiNb MZM. The link performance is evaluated for 100 Gbps data rate per channel in a total 750 km single mode fiber link. The perfomance is analyzed in terms of forward power, reflected power and bit-error rate of the received signal. From the simulation results we prove, that the link performance can be improved by adopting the high efficiency optical modulation.

Highlights

  • This paper investigates the transmission performance of 16-channel DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system with two complex Optical Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying modulator configurations using 2 LiNb Mach-Zehnder optical modulators (MZM) (Mach-Zehnder Modulator) and 3 LiNb MZM

  • The aim of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of two optical modulation techniques, Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK) and CSRZDQPSK, in a DWDM system with capacity of 16×100 Gbps

  • The signal spectra of the CSRZ-DQPSK optical modulator based on 3 MZMs emitting 193 THz are shown in Figure 4 [11, 12]

Summary

Carrier suppressed optical modulator structure

The conventional optical DQPSK modulator structure, based on two arms LiNb MZM driven by in-phase and quadrature-phase signal components, is shown on Figure 1. Using these two equations it is possible to calculate amplitude modulation AIQM(t) (3) and phase modulation φIQM(t) (4) of IQ modulator [4]. The signal spectra of the CSRZ-DQPSK optical modulator based on 3 MZMs emitting 193 THz are shown in Figure 4 [11, 12].
