Reducing bit-error rate with optical phase regeneration in multilevel modulation formats

Reducing bit-error rate with optical phase regeneration in multilevel modulation formats.

We investigate theoretically the benefits of using all-optical phase regeneration in a long-haul fiber optic link. We also introduce a design for a device capable of phase regeneration without phase-to-amplitude noise conversion. We simulate numerically the bit-error rate of a wavelength division multiplexed optical communication system over many fiber spans with periodic reamplification and co...

Improvement of Bit-Error-Rate in Optical Fiber Receivers

In this paper, a post processing scheme is suggested for improvement of Bit Error-Rate (BER) in optical fiber transmission receivers. The developed scheme has been tested on optical fiber systems operating with a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format at transmission rates of up to 10Gbps. The transmission system considered is based on well known transmitters and receivers blocks operating at waveleng...

Bit Error Rate Monitoring

Today's telecommunications needs call for faster and more reliable networks. Optical transmission has allowed great advances in creating faster and more reliable global communications networks. Most optical networks are based on the SONET (North American) and SDH (International) standards. For my thesis, I have designed, implemented, and tested a bit-error rate monitoring circuit, compliant wit...

Bit Error Rate Tester

Preliminary -The BERTScope BSX-series Bit Error Rate Tester introduces a receiver test platform capable of supporting emerging Gen4 standards and beyond. With the addition of powerful data processing and internal Tx equalization, the BERTScope supports protocol-based handshaking and synchronization with your device under test (DUT), including interactive link training at data rates up to 32 Gb/...
