EE 230: Optical Fiber Communication Lecture 13 Dispersion Compensation From the movie Warriors of the Net
Definition of chirp The chirp C is defined by the change in frequency d due to the rate of change of the phase: is the initial 1/e duration of the pulse
Ideal Dispersion Compensation Device • Large negative dispersion coefficient • Low attenuation • Minimal nonlinear contributions • Wide bandwidth • Corrects dispersion slope as well • Minimal ripple • Polarization independent • Manufacturable
Propagation of Gaussian Pulses Input Pulse Output Pulse chirped and broadened b2<0 for standard single mode silica fiber and Ld ~ 1800 km at 2.5 Gb/s and ~115 km at 10 Gb/s Upon further propagation the pulse will continue to broaden and acquire chirp. Input Pulse Already Positively Chirped After some distance the chirp is removed and the pulse assumes its minimum possible width Optical Networks a Practical Perspective-Ramaswami and Sivarajan
Spectral Shaping at the Transmitter Optical Fiber Telecommunications IIIA
Compensation at Receiver • Adjust decision point on the fly based on previous few bits • Mathematically extrapolate signal back to what it presumably was at origin • These techniques can be used only if calculations can be done much faster than bit rate

Four-Wave Mixing Phase-Matching Requirement Phase mismatch M needs to be small for FWM to occur significantly
Spectral Inversion • Add pump signal whose wavelength is ideally at zero-dispersion point • Four-wave mixing generates phase conjugate signal at 2p-s • Phase conjugate undoes both GVD and SPM over second half of link • Filter out pump beam at end
Mid-Span Spectral Inversion Optical Fiber Telecommunications IIIA
Summary of Techniques • At transmitter: prechirping, coding • At receiver: signal analysis, decision point adjustment • Fiber: DCF, DSF, dual-mode fiber • Filters: Bragg gratings, Mach-Zehnders • Spectral inversion
