Abstract

The system performance of NRZ format in WDM transmission system with lumped dispersion management(DM) and optical phase conjugator(OPC) is compared with that of RZ format. It is confirmed that eye opening penalty(EOP) of both NRZ and RZ format in WDM transmission system having lumped DM combined with OPC are greatly improved than those in WDM system with only OPC. The optimal net residual dispersion(NRD) in the case of RZ format is decided to so small value that path-averaged dispersion coefficient become almost zero, while that in the case of NRZ format is decided to larger value, for the best improvement of overall WDM channels. It is also confirmed that EOP in the case of RZ format is more improved than that in the case of NRZ format in lumped DM with optimal NRD. This is resulted from that lumped DM combined with OPC suppress the signal distortion due to intrachannel four-wave mixing(IFWM) and intrachannel cross phase modulation(IXPM). Consequently, lumped DM combined with OPC proposed in this paper is effective technique to mitigate intrachannel nonlinearities in WDM transmitting RZ format.

집중형 분산 제어(DM; dispersion management)와 광 위상 공액기(OPC; optical phase conjugator)가 적용된 WDM 전송 시스템에서 NRZ 형식과 RZ 형식의 시스템 성능을 비교하였다. OPC만 적용된 경우에서보다 OPC와 결합한 집중형 DM 기술이 적용된 WDM 전송 시스템에서 NRZ와 RZ 형식의 눈 열림 패널티(EOP; eye opening penal) 모두 크게 개선되는 것을 알 수 있었다. WDM 채널들의 최상의 성능 개선을 위한 집중형 DM에서 RZ 형식의 경우 최적의 전체 잉여 분산량(NRD; net residual dispersion)은 경로 평균 분산 계수가 0에 가까지도록 매우 작게 결정되어야 하는 반면 NRZ 형식의 경우에는 매우 크게 결정되어야 하는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 OPC와 결합한 최적의 NRD로 설계된 집중형 DM에서 NRZ 형식의 경우보다 RZ 형식의 경우 더 큰 EOP 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 OPC와 결합한 집중형 DM이 RZ 형식 전송에서 발생되어 성능을 저하시키는 채널 내 4-광파 혼합현상(IFWM; intrachannel four-wave mixing)과 채널 내 상호 위상 변조(IXPM; intrachannel cross phse modulation) 현상에 의한 신호 왜곡을 억제시키기 때문이다. 즉 본 논문에서 제안한 OPC와 결합한 집중형 DM은 RZ 형식의 WDM 전송 시스템에서 채널 내 비선형성 감소에 큰 효과가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.
