This paper is devoted to the analysis of environmental influences in the optical transmission medium and their impacts on multilevel modulation formats. An attention is focused on main features and characteristics of environmental negative influences of optical fibers. Consequently, principles for appropriate multilevel modulation formats are introduced together with block schemes representing their main functionalities. The created Simulink model for technologies and communications is verified for real conditions in the optical transmission medium. It can allow executing requested analysis for environmental influences on advanced multilevel modulation formats at the signal transmission. Finally, a comparison of considered multilevel modulations is introduced, using constellation diagrams, signal characteristics, eye diagrams and waterfall curves of individual signals.
This paper deals with the integration of polarization multiplexed 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation format in optical metropolitan networks enhanced with the signal amplification. Before expensive experimental setup or practical testing and demonstration, we prefer creating of appropriate simulation platform for the optical transmission system. A novelty can be found in adjusting, optimizing and construction of the proposed optical system and functional parts for any modulation format used. So, such simulation platform is first introduced along with possibilities for numerical simulations of its optical components - laser and amplifier. By this way, essential noise tolerances for comparison with the data under real conditions are included. Subsequently, there are characterized implementations of terminal devices in detail with a possibility for upgrading to the dual-polarization mode operation. Finally, simulation results from the simulation platform are presented and a discussion about demands for effective exploitation of the polarization multiplexed 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation in enhanced optical metropolitan networks concludes our contribution.
This paper presents the environment of the optical fiber and digital information transmission over optical fiber, using signal transformation technique called duobinary modulation technique. We propose a complete duobinary encoder and duobinary decoder that we tested in Matlab simulink R2014B. In the final part, it will be shown a comparison of duobinary modulation technique with on-off keying modulation technique
