Intra-channel Cross-Phase Modulation Effect in Dispersion Compensated Single Channel Lightwave System with Negative Residual Dispersion
AbstractAdvanced modulation schemes, particularly the phase-modulated signals, have already drawn huge research interests for ultra-high speed long-haul lightwave transmission systems. We have considered 40 Gbit/s optical RZ pulse propagating in a periodically dispersion managed (DM) single channel system with negative residual dispersion. We investigate the effects of negative residual dispersion on intra-channel cross-phase modulation (IXPM)-induced phase shift. Analytical estimation for phase shift has been deduced using perturbed variational formulation. We therefore explore the impact of variation of various parameters such as transmission distance, duty cycle, bit rate, etc. on phase shift. The outcome of our work is to explore the performance of the dispersion compensated system with some negative residual dispersion so that the IXPM-induced phase shift remains low in optical fiber communication.
