Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate simultaneous all-optical regeneration of two 160-Gbit/s wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) channels in a single highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF). The multi-channel regeneration performance is confirmed by bit-error rate (BER) measurements. The receiver powers at a BER of 10(-9) are improved by about 4.9 dB and 2.1 dB for the two channels, respectively. The BER performance is not degraded by the presence of a second channel. Mitigation of the inter-channel nonlinearities is achieved through bidirectional propagation.

Highlights

  • All-optical regeneration is a highly desirable functionality for high bit rate transmission based on either advanced multilevel modulation formats or high symbol rates, where the OSNR requirements become very strict[1]

  • We experimentally demonstrate simultaneous all-optical regeneration of two 160 Gbit/s WDM channels in a single highly nonlinear fibers (HNLF) using fiber optical parametric amplification

  • We demonstrate simultaneous all-optical regeneration of two 160 Gbit/s WDM signals by fiber optical parametric amplification (FOPA) in a single HNLF

Summary

Introduction

All-optical regeneration is a highly desirable functionality for high bit rate transmission based on either advanced multilevel modulation formats or high symbol rates, where the OSNR requirements become very strict[1]. Abstract We experimentally demonstrate simultaneous all-optical regeneration of two 160 Gbit/s WDM channels in a single HNLF using fiber optical parametric amplification. Receiver sensitivities at a BER of 10-9 are improved by about 2.1 dB and 4.9 dB for the two channels, respectively.
