Abstract In this work, we presented a radio-over-fiber (ROF) access network through two modulation stages for the generation of multiple millimeter wave (mm-wave) signals with frequencies of 20GHz, 40GHz, 60GHz and 80 GHz for the transmission rate of 10 Gbps as a function of the variation of link distance and signal power. The specific purpose of the paper was to design and to investigate a RoF system based on the variation of mm-wave frequencies in order to implement a simple and effective system. In stage 1, there are two modulators in parallel (MZMa and MZMb) called dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DP-MZM) and in stage 2 there is only one modulator (MZMc), connected to three pulse generators: Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ), Return-to-Zero (RZ). A single-mode fiber (SMF) and Gaussian and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) were also used to send signals to base stations (BSs). The numerical analyzes of the results of the eye diagrams showed excellent bit error rate (BER) and quality factor (Q-factor) values, which proved the good performance of the proposed ROF DP-MZM system, for the three encoding formats used, which was able to generate 3-tupling mm-wave for multiple wireless accesses.

In this paper, the performance of a spectral amplitude coding-optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) system is investigated utilizing a single photodiode (SPD) detection technique. The proposed system uses enhanced double weight (EDW) codes as signature codes with three simultaneous users to overcome both phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN) and multiple access interference (MAI). In addition, a dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) is used in order to decrease the group velocity dispersion (GVD) caused in the single mode fiber. An erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is used to overcome the attenuation. The use of both DCF and EDFA leads to an appreciable enhancement in the system performance. The system performance is evaluated through its bit error rate (BER), Q-factor, and received power. A comparison between the EDW codes and modified double weight (MDW) codes on the SAC-OCDMA system is demonstrated. Simulation is carried out through Optisystem ver. 7. The simulation results show that: (a) using an avalanche photodiode (APD) over PIN photodiode allows data transmission over longer distances; (b) the use of DCF improves the system BER;(c) using MDW codes gives better BER than using EDW codes.

Machine learning (ML) methodologies have been looked upon recently as a potential candidate for mitigating nonlinearity issues in optical communications. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a 40-Gb/s 256-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signal-based Radio over Fiber (RoF) system for 50 km of standard single mode fiber length which utilizes support vector machine (SVM) decision method to indicate an effective nonlinearity mitigation. The influence of different impairments in the system is evaluated that includes the influences of Mach-Zehnder Modulator nonlinearities, in-phase and quadrature phase skew of the modulator. By utilizing SVM, the results demonstrated in terms of bit error rate and eye linearity suggest that impairments are significantly reduced and licit input signal power span of 5dBs is enlarged to 15 dBs.

AbstractWe propose the experimental transport of 48 channels with 40 Gbit/s dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) system that uses single-mode fiber (SMF) in combination with dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) which is a dispersion compensation device, in C and L band wavelength range to solve the dispersion program. The DWDM system scheme employing single Mach–Zehnder modulation (MZM) return-to-zero differential phase-shift keying (RZ-DPSK) modulation format with hybrid Raman/EDFA (Erbium-doped fiber amplifier) configuration to improve transmission signal, and employing an optical phase conjugation (OPC) configuration in the middle line. That can compensate for dispersion impairment and improve nonlinear effects to investigate transmission distance performances.

In the fiber optic communication network for example,- FTTH, EPON, NBN, OTN and so on, the most important components are fiber length between transmitter and receiver point. So, to make, cheap and meaningful communication through optical fiber it must be required to calculate how and what amount of signal is transmitted with the given length of the fiber. Finally, it is said that the optical fiber network have several limitations like extension ratio. So, it is necessary to investigate its affect on the performance of the Optical Network. This research is based on simulation by OptiSystem 0.17 on the basis of Dense wavelength division multiplex (DWDM) technology, Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA), dispersion Compensating Fiber (DCF) and single mode fiber of length 50–100 km.

A ring cavity multiwavelength Brillouin erbium-doped optical fiber laser (EDFL)based on the stimulated brillouin scattering effects and linear gain mechanism of erbium-doped fiber was demonstrated, in which single mode fiber was used as Brillouin gain medium and the Stokes signal was amplified by using the erbium-doped fiber amplifier, so that the laser can produce a stable multi-wavelength output at room temperature. Through the study and analysis of the position of the circular and coupler and the access mode of the coupler, we found that they both had influence on the output of the brillouin-erbium fiber laser. Then we have done some experiments at the Brillouin pump power of 14 dBm and the 980 nm pump power of 23 dBm, and single mode fiber length of 10km. The results showed that the access mode of the coupler affects the output of the brillouin-erbium fiber laser obviously. The detailed test results and the corresponding explanation were given.

AbstractRadio over fiber (RoF) is a promising solution for the next-generation wireless networks including fifth-generation Cloud/Centralized Radio Access Network (C-RAN). There exists a possibility to use Sigma Delta Modulated RoF (S-DRoF) that combines the advantages of analog RoF and digital RoF by means of sigma delta modulation (SDM) at the transmitter side subsequently replacing the employment of expensive and high-speed digital-to-analog converters. In this paper, we demonstrate the usage of second-order SDM for LTE 20 MHz signal having 64 QAM modulation on a central carrier frequency of 1.14 GHz for the implementation of S-DRoF for 20 km of standard single mode fiber with baud rate from 25 to 100 Mbaud. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of the design of SDM is explained followed by the experimental setup. The performance is reported in terms of error vector magnitude, constellations and adjacent channel power ratio. The results show that the proposed architecture performance is in with accordance to the limitations set by the 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) standards and is a reasonable choice either for upgrading installed systems as well as for the new deployments.

The simulation of the suggested optical circuit involves the use of parameters of Raman amplifier and EDFA and other components included in the optical structure. The design also includes the use of encryption and decryption techniques to ensure secured communication. Thus, realization of these circuits at 50 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s will enable the future optical communication applications for ultrafast data transmission to large distances.

In long-haul optical communication systems consisting of single-mode fiber spans and fiber amplifiers, such as an erbium-doped fiber amplifier, signal distortion causes performance to deteriorate because of group velocity dispersion and fiber nonlinearity. A combination of dispersion management and optical phase conjugation is an effective technique of compensating for the distortion. In an optical link configured with this combination, the dispersion map mainly affects the compensation for the distorted optical signals. Improvements in system performance have been reported for various types of dispersion maps. In this study, a symmetric type of dispersion map with respect to the midway optical phase conjugator is proposed. The effect of the proposed dispersion maps on the compensation for the distorted 24 channel × 40 Gbps wavelength-division-multiplexed signals was assessed through numerical simulation. It was confirmed that antipodal-type dispersion maps are most appropriate for the compensation, as well as for the flexibility of the link configuration.
