Effect of synchronous modulation on the soliton optical phase

Olivier Leclerc, E. Desurvire

Published Sep 15, 1998• 6 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We show that soliton regeneration through synchronous modulation reduces both amplitude and optical phase noise in a squeezinglike fashion. However, control of optical phase noise is found not to be sufficient to permit error-free phase-shift-keyed soliton transmission, as confirmed by numerical simulations.

Effect of synchronous regeneration on the soliton optical phase

Olivier Leclerc, E. Desurvire

We show that soliton regeneration reduces both amplitude and optical phase noise in a squeezing-like fashion. However, control of optical phase is found not sufficient to permit error-free phase-coded soliton transmission. In order to investigate the impact of soliton regeneration on both amplitude and phase noise, we calculated the evolution of these characteristics along the system.

Noise effects on the transmission of optical solitons

J. P. Gordon

I will discuss the limits imposed by noise on the long-distance transmission of information via optical solitons. Phase noise prohibits the use of phase sensitive systems. Amplitude (energy) noise and timing noise (the Gordon-Haus effect) yield limitations on the information rate. The recent idea of soliton guiding using filters in the line reduces the soliton fluctuations at the expense of increased background noise.

Phase noise squeezing without PM-to-AM conversion by hybrid optical phase squeezer

Takayuki Kurosu, Hung Nguyen Tan, Karen Solis-Trapala +1 more

We demonstrate, for the first time, phase regeneration of BPSK signals without phase-to-amplitude noise conversion using a hybrid optical phase squeezer. Improvement over the conventional method was confirmed through an error vector magnitude reduction.

Investigation of an All-Optical Black-Box PPLN-PPLN BPSK Phase Regenerator

A. Szabo, Benjamin James Puttnam, Dániel Mazroa +2 more

We investigate the phase squeezing performance of an all-optical black-box binary phase-shift keyed phase regenerator constructed from periodically-poled lithium-niobate (PPLN) waveguides. Phase regeneration is performed with different levels of phase noise and constant amplitude noise added to the phase modulated input. We experimentally show that, for moderate phase noise, unwanted phase-to-amplitude noise conversion can be minimized without degradation of the phase squeezing performance, by controlling the signal-to-pump power ratio at the input to the PPLN-based phase-sensitive regenerator.

Quantum phase noise reduction in soliton collisions and application to nondemolition measurements

Darren Rand, Ken Steiglitz, Paul R. Prucnal

We show that soliton collisions can reduce propagation-induced quantum phase noise. This effect originates from a negative correlation between self- and cross-phase-modulation-induced phase fluctuations. Furthermore, we show how this effect can be applied directly to improve the quality of soliton-based quantum nondemolition measurements, simply by adjusting the parameter regime in which the measurement is performed. Optimal implementation, which we show to be technologically feasible, favors short propagation distances, small wavelength separation between solitons, and approximately equal soliton amplitudes.

All-optical regeneration of differential phase-shift keyed signals based on phase-sensitive amplification

Kevin Croussore, Cheol-Hwan Kim, Guifang Li

All-optical regeneration of differential phase-shift keyed signals based on phase-sensitive amplification in a nonlinear fiber Sagnac interferometer is described. Nearly ideal phase regeneration can be achieved in the undepleted pump regime, with output differential phase noise limited only by fast fluctuations of the pump phase relative to the DPSK signal. Operating in the depleted pump regime offers the possibility of simultaneously regenerating both phase and amplitude information of DPSK signals while providing low noise, phase-sensitive gain.
