Abstract

We demonstrate degenerate four-wave mixing of a 12×100 Gb/s DP-QPSK signal with counter-phase dithering by a phase modulator embedded in a fiber-loop. A ≈9 dB higher conversion efficiency enables an OSNR penalty of 0.7 dB at 10−3 BER.

Optimisation of amplitude limiters for phase preservation based on the exact solution to degenerate four-wave mixing

Kyle R. H. Bottrill, Graham Hesketh, Francesca R. Parmigiani +2 more

Adopting an exact solution to four-wave mixing (FWM), wherein harmonic evolution is described by the sum of two Bessel functions, we identify two causes of amplitude to phase noise conversion which impair FWM saturation based amplitude regenerators: self-phase modulation (SPM) and Bessel-order mixing (BOM). By increasing the pump to signal power ratio, we may arbitrarily reduce their impact, realising a phase preserving amplitude regenerator. We demonstrate the technique by applying it to the regeneration of a 10 GBaud QPSK signal, achieving a high level of amplitude squeezing with minimal amplitude to phase noise conversion.

We show penalty-free wavelength conversion of QPSK signals based on single-pump four-wave mixing in highly nonlinear fibre. Phase distortions due to the intentionally used pump phase modulation are compensated by electronic signal processing in the coherent receiver.

Mingyi Gao, Takashi Inoue, Shu Namiki +1 more

We demonstrate phase de-multiplexing of QPSK signal to BPSK signals based on dual-pump phase sensitive amplifiers by controlling and stabilizing the gain axis. The de-multiplexed BPSK signals have an OSNR penalty less than 1-dB compared to the back-to-back BPSK signals.

Multi-channel phase regeneration of QPSK signals based on phase sensitive amplification

Hongxiang Wang, Tiantian Luo, Yuefeng Ji

In this paper, we propose and demonstrate simultaneous phase regeneration of four different channels of QPSK signal based on phase sensitive amplification. The configuration can be divided into two parts. The first one uses four wave mixing in high nonlinear fiber (HNLF) to generate the corresponding three harmonic conjugates precisely at the frequency of the original signals. The other one uses optical combiner to realize coherent addition which is aimed at completely removing the interaction in phase regeneration stage. The simulation results suggest that this scheme can optimize signal constellation to a large extend especially in high noise environment. Besides, optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) can improve more than 3 dB while the bit-error-rate (BER) reaches 10 –3 with a constant white noise and 15° phase noise.
