Research on Key Technologies of large capacity and long distance optical transmission systems

Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid development of high-bandwidth applications and the rapid growth of Internet data services, the capacity of communication networks is growing rapidly. Optical fiber has become an ideal transmission medium for communication networks due to its advantages such as large bandwidth and low loss. Large-capacity and long-distance optical fiber communication networks have become the key research directions of optical communication systems. In this paper, the main technical means to achieve large-capacity and long-distance optical transmission are investigated. First, the application of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology in large-capacity transmission is briefly introduced, including its principle, main structure, advantages and disadvantages. Subsequently, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology based on optical frequency comb is introduced. Finally, the methods to realize long-distance transmission are discussed, including Digital Backward Propagation (DBP), Phase-Conjugate Twin Wave (PCTW) and advanced modulation format.
