Unrepeatered Transmission Reach Extension by Receiver-Side all-Optical Back-Propagation

Abstract: Improvements in SNR (1.98 dB), Mutual Information (0.95 bit/symbol) and maximum transmission distance (almost 12 %) are demonstrated for dual-polarization WDM 16-QAM unrepeatered transmission using optical-phase-conjugation-based back-propagation at the receiver through power and dispersion engineering.

“…In this paper, we extend our previous work in [24]- [26] to provide an overview of OPC-based pre-or postcompensation of Kerr-induced signal distortions in unre- peatered systems. The separate results of [24]- [26] are put into perspective through a complete theoretical discussion and additional numerical investigations. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows.…”

“…OPC is based on degenerate four-wave-mixing (FWM) in a strained highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) using bidirectional loop configuration to ensure polarization insensitivity, as in [24], [26], [32], [42]- [44], and it is accompanied by a wavelength shift from 1540 nm to 1550 nm. The conversion efficiency in the HNLF is approx -6 dB, sufficient to yield a low back-to-back conversion penalty below 0.5 dB in SNR, which becomes negligible in transmission [45]- [47].…”

“…In particular, it is not explicitly required to use the same fiber types on both sides of the OPC. In [30]- [32], the nonlinear integrals are matched by using a long transmission link on one side of the OPC, and a scaled-down compensation structure that mimics the nonlinear evolution on the other side. As a result, the propagation on each side of the OPC can still be equivalent, despite the different fiber types and transmission distances.…”

“…Moreover, the standard OPC approach is unsuitable for unrepeatered transmission, where it is not feasible to perform optical conjugation along the link. For such systems, lumped compensation modules based on OPC have been previously considered at both the transmitter [6] and receiver [7], [8] . However, they were limited to standard links using erbiumdoped fiber amplifiers (EDFA), and achieved only partial propagation symmetry due to the power profile mismatch between the compensator and the link.…”
