- We demonstrate a simple, fully analytic method of calculating the amount of radiation emitted by optical solitons perturbed by higher-order dispersion effects in fibers and find good agreement with numerical results. It is pointed out that this radiation mechanism is analogous to the well-known Cherenkov radiation processes in nonlinear optics. © 1995 The American Physical Society.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An analysis is made of the influence of self-phase modulation on optical fibre communication systems where the chromatic dispersion is compensated for by a dispersion compensation fibre. In particular we derive a simple and useful expression for the optimal fibre length in the presence of nonlinearities.

- Soliton robustness to polarisation dispersion pulse broadening in a 400km installed optical fibre is experimentally demonstrated. With 10ps input pulses and a differential group delay of 7.6ps, the soliton pulsewidth at the receiver is maintained within 10-11ps when the input polarisation is changed, while the corresponding range for dispersion-compensated linear pulses is 10.5-15.5ps.

Measurement of the differential group delay in installed optical fibers using polarization multiplexed solitons

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We experimentally demonstrate a new technique for measurement of the differential group delay (DGD) in optical fibers using polarization-division multiplexed (PDM) solitons: the change in the separation of orthogonally polarized solitons propagating along different principal axes in a fiber equals the DGD at the signal wavelength. Based on this principle, we use PDM solitons to measure the accumulated DGD at different distances along a 400-km installed fiber. The measured DGD exhibits the expected square-root-of-length dependence, corresponding to a polarization-mode dispersion of 0.26 ps/km1/2. The results are in excellent agreement with those obtained by a commercial instrument utilizing Jones matrix eigenanalysis.

Soliton interaction penalty reduction by receiver filtering

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present the first detailed numerical study of the impact of receiver low-pass filtering in soliton interaction-limited communication systems. We propagate 40-Gb/s pseudorandom bit sequences (PRBS's) of 28-1 solitons up to one soliton collision distance (Zc-) and optimize the filter bandwidth to minimize the interaction induced eye opening penalty. The distance at 0.5-dB penalty is increased over 40% through filtering. The penalty is essentially pulsewidth independent when considering distances normalized by Zc. We also show that PRBS's of at least 28 - 1 solitons are required to accurately simulate random data.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The nonlinear propagation of a pump-probe pulse pair in an optical fiber has been extensively studied both experimentally, numerically and theoretically. In particular, it has been shown that the probe can attain a spectral shift under the influence of cross-phase modulation (XPM) from the pump, an effect having important applications in e. g. optical switching and demultiplexing.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present an all-optical time-division demultiplexer with 22 dB conversion efficiency, using four-wave mixing (FWM) at 1550 nm in a single-mode dispersion-shifted fiber. Error-free demultiplexing of 20 Gb/s data to 10 Gb/s is obtained, with 1.4 dB power penalty at BER = 10-9. We also derive theoretical expressions for the conversion efficiency, the maximum bit rate that is possible to demux and the shape of the switching window. In particular we emphasize the importance of phase-matching in order to achieve a flat switching window. Furthermore the pump must remain undepleted to avoid a detrimental reduction of the extinction ratio due to instantaneous parametric gain saturation.

Polarization dependence and efficiency in a fiber four-wave mixing phase conjugator with orthogonal pump waves

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We study the influence of pump separation on polarization dependence and on conversion efficiency in a fiberbased optical phase-conjugator with two orthogonal pump waves at different wavelengths. The polarization dependence is found to be minimized when the pump wavelength separation is small. Furthermore, both theory and experiments show that the efficiency is maximized if the signal wavelength is located close to one of the pumps.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We derive, for what is believed to be the first time, the autocorrelation function (ACF) of the polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) vector, which gives information on the bandwidths of the principal states of polarization. We compare the ACF with measured data and find good agreement. Finally, we apply the derived ACF to calculate the average pulse broadening that is due to PMD.
