RESUMO
Achievable information rates (AIRs) of wideband optical communication systems using a â¼40 nm (â¼5 THz) erbium-doped fiber amplifier and â¼100 nm (â¼12.5 THz) distributed Raman amplification are estimated based on a first-order perturbation analysis. The AIRs of each individual channel have been evaluated for DP-64QAM, DP-256QAM, and DP-1024QAM modulation formats. The impact of full-field nonlinear compensation (FF-NLC) and probabilistically shaped constellations using a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution were studied and compared to electronic dispersion compensation. It has been found that a probabilistically shaped DP-1024QAM constellation, combined with FF-NLC, yields achievable information rates of â¼75 Tbit/s for the EDFA scheme and â¼223 Tbit/s for the Raman amplification scheme over a 2000 km standard single-mode fiber transmission.
RESUMO
The authors report on the downlink performance of a 10 Gb/s long-reach and ultra-dense wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical network, based on a multicarrier transmitter realized by using an externally injected gain-switched distributed-feedback laser diode. Each of the comb channels, spaced by 10 GHz, is modulated with a 3 Gbaud dual polarization quadrature phase shift keying signal that included a 20% overhead for forward error correction. Frequency selectivity and enhanced receiver sensitivity is achieved by employing a digital coherent receiver to receive the signal. Experimental results achieved in a back-to-back and 100 km transmission scenarios show an excellent worst case receiver sensitivity of -44 dBm.
