  2. Outline • What causes nonlinear phase noise • How nonlinear phase noise is distributed • Methods of electronic compensation • Performance analysis

  3. Fiber Optical Amp. Nonlinear coefficient Effective length Power With amplifier noise: Nonlinear Phase Noise • Kerr effect-induced phase shift • Often called Gordon-Mollenauer effect • Causes additive phase noise • Variance inversely proportional to SNR • Variance increases quadratically with mean nonlinear phase shift • There exists an optimal mean nonlinear phase shift

  4. Intrachannel Four-Wave-Mixing Intensity at the transmitter without pulse overlap Intensity after propagation with dispersion-induced pulse overlap +1 Identical phases +1 +1 Opposite phases -1 Different intensities  different nonlinear phase shifts and phase noises. (Actual electric field is complex, rather than real, as shown here.)

  5. ISPM+IXPM ISPM Only Nonlinear Phase Noise vs. IFWM 40-Gb/s RZ-DPSK, T0 = 5 & 7.5 ps (33% & 50%), L = 100 km, a = 0.2 dB/km Normalized to mean nonlinear phase shift of 1 rad Note: For low-loss spans, recent results from Bell Labs show far larger IFWM than above.

  6. Distribution of Signals with Nonlinear Phase Noise • SNR = 18 (12.6 dB) • Number of Spans = 32 • Transmitted Signal = (1, 0) • Color grade corresponds to density • Why the helical shape? • Nonlinear phase noise depends on signal intensity • Phase rotation increases with intensity • How we can exploit the correlation? • To compensate the phase rotation by received intensity

  7. Yin-Yang Detector • Spiral decision boundary for binary PSK signals • Use look-up table to implementdecision boundaries • Transmitted signal of (±1, 0) • SNR = 18 (12.6 dB) • Number of Spans = 32 • Color grade corresponds to density • Red line is the decision boundary

  9. Operation of Linear CompensatorFor PSK Signals • With detected phase using a linear combiner • Estimate the received phase fR • Subtract off scaled intensity to obtain compensated phase fR-aP • With the quadrature components cosfR and sinfR • Use the formulas • cos(fR-aP) = sinfRsin(aP) + cosfRcos(aP) • sin(fR-aP) = sinfRcos(aP) - cosfRsin(aP) • Optimal compensation factor is
