Multichannel nonlinear distortion compensation using optical phase conjugation in a silicon nanowire.

چکیده
We experimentally demonstrate compensation of nonlinear distortion caused by the Kerr effect in a 3 × 32-Gbaud quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) transmission system. We use optical phase conjugation (OPC) produced by four-wave mixing (FWM) in a 7-mm long silicon nanowire. A clear improvement in Q-factor is shown after 800-km transmission with high span input power when comparing the system with and without the optical phase conjugation module. The influence of OSNR degradation introduced by the silicon nanowire is analysed by comparing transmission systems of three different lengths. This is the first demonstration of nonlinear compensation using a silicon nanowire.

-Optical communication is a form of telecommunication that uses light as carrier and optical fiber as a transmission medium. Optical communication meant for long haul communication has been intended for an eight channel Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) system. Dispersion is the major effect present in the optical fiber which causes a broadening of pulses and leads to Inter Symbol Interfer...

We demonstrate continuously tunable optical delays as large as 1.1 micros range for 10 Gb/s NRZ optical signals based on four-wave mixing (FWM) process in silicon waveguide. The large delay range is made possible by a novel wavelength-optimized optical phase conjugation scheme, which allows for tunable dispersion compensation to minimize the residual group-velocity dispersion (GVD) for the enti...
