“…Many apodization functions are used to improve the performance of fibre transmissions using Bragg's gratings for chromatic dispersion compensation [ 22 ]. Apodization reduces internal interference effects due to group delay and chirped gratings offer ideal properties for the linear compensation of dispersion in fibres [ 23 ].…”

This paper investigates a novel compensation technique of dispersion effect mitigation using a combination of three- and four-stage-apodized fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) and dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) designs. Two designs using three-stage and four-stage FBG and DCF in combination have been proposed and compared for their performance in mitigating chromatic dispersion effects at 100 km SMF. The performance of each design has been evaluated using Q-factor results using linear Gaussian- and tanh-apodized fiber Bragg gratings. Each profile manifested different Q-factor results over a range of 5 dBm, 7.5 dBm, and 10 dBm of CW laser power over FBG grating lengths from 4 mm to 8 mm. The results obtained using the three-stage and four-stage FBG and DCF designs showed that an apodization profile using a tanh function can be used successfully with FBG lengths from 4 mm to 8 mm, regardless of the CW launched power. In contrast, the results using a Gaussian apodization profile for three- and four-stage FBG and DCF designs are applicable to FBG lengths from 5 mm to 8 mm. Designs using three-stage FBG and DCF generated higher Q-factor results than designs using only four-stage FBG and DCF, regardless of the launched power. The highest Q-factor of 18.58 was obtained for three-stage tanh-apodized FBG and DCF used in combination for an FBG length of 6 mm. The highest result obtained for a three-stage Gaussian-apodized FBG and DCF design was a Q factor of 17.13 using an FBG length of 8 mm. The proposed method was also compared to current similar works and can be successfully implemented in long-haul optical communication.

“…Besides the FP-L influence, this work utilizes a higher Dispersion Compensation Fiber (DCF) length of −340 ps/nm to provide the aforementioned performance characteristics in Table 2 for 15 km. The effect of, and price of, the high length DCF can be found in many dispersion compensation-related studies, such as [35,36]. Finally, an in-band cross talk, which cannot be avoided, is observed through the system's testing [5].…”

In this work, a record of 16 channels, with future channel spacing in the telecommunication standardization sector of the International Telecommunications Union G.694.1 (ITU-T G.694.1) for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) (i.e., 12.5 GHz), is simulated and tested. This work is done to realize a proposed high capacity DWDM-Passive Optical Network (DWDM-PON) system. These specifications are associated with enhancing the upstream (US) capacity to 2.5 Gb/s over a 25 km Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) transmission and producing a noteworthy average Bit Error Rate (BER) of 10 −12 during the system's evaluation process. These performance indicators are achieved through design optimization of the cross-seeding Rayleigh Backscattering (RB) elimination technique. This optimization has successfully reduced (compared to the cross-seeding related literature) the simulated DWDM-PON components and maintained an effective Rayleigh Backscattering elimination with the aforementioned system's performance enhancement and capacity enlargement.(1) injection-locked Fabry-Perot Lasers (FP-Ls) [5,6], (2) Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (RSOAs) [7], and (3) Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOAs) with Reflective Electro-Absorption Modulators (R-EAMs) [8]. However, reflective transmitters that utilize FP-L require polarization and temperature control, which add complexity [5]. Those that use RSOAs suffer from a limited bit ratẽ 1.25 Gb/s due to internal noises and nonlinearities [9]. Finally, any colorless ONU that uses SOA with R-EAM (SOA-REAM) suffers from chromatic dispersion and high interference in the signal due to the wide bandwidth of R-EAM [10]. As a result, the reflective transmitter technique generates a high level of Rayleigh Backscattering (RB), which affects the signal received at the CO [11]. Before reviewing the DWDM-PON system's key requirements, it is useful to conduct a review of the origins and effects of RB. Rayleigh Scattering is a dominant intrinsic loss mechanism in the low-absorption window between the ultraviolet and infrared absorption tails. It results from random inhomogeneities occurring on a small scale compared to the operating wavelength. These inhomogeneities act as refractive index fluctuations (or induced dipole moment) within the fiber and arise from density and compositional variations, which are frozen into the glass lattice upon cooling [12,13].Optical losses, due to RB in optical fibers, have caused considerable problems. Some examples of these problems include lowering the allowable bit rate, increasing the system's noise levels, and minimizing the transmission distances [14][15][16][17]. Detailed examples and deeper analyses can be found for bi-directional wavelength-reuse fiber systems and WDM-PON Systems in [14][15][16][17]. To the author's best knowledge, this work is one of the rare studies that considers RB for DWDM-PON systems with remarkable operating conditions. Now, methods for satisfying the most critical requirements for DWDM-PON systems (i.e., a low-cost ONU colorless o...
