  8. These experiments triggered an intense modeling activity in order to understand the key degradation mechanisms and extrapolate the experimental results. • Such a modeling is the object of the rest of the talk. • We next introduce the key concepts in our modeling. OFC ’05 – paper OThW5

Ho, JOSA B, Sept. 2003] OFC ’05 – paper OThW5

  13. Rx ASE is Gaussian Small perturbation Large OSNR [ M. Midrio et al., JOSA B Nov. 1998 ] DM Linear PG Model [ C. Lorattanasane et al.,JQE July 1997] [ A. Carena et al.,PTL Apr. 1997] OFC ’05 – paper OThW5

  14. A decreasing map has normally less in-phase ASE than an increasing map Linear PG Model No pre-, post-comp. Red : quadrature ASE » Blue: in-phase ASE ASE gain comes at expense of CW depletion (negligible up to performance disruption) OFC ’05 – paper OThW5

  15. Linear PG Model Otimized pre-, post-comp. Red : quadrature ASE Blue: in-phase ASE Pre-compensation no effect on ASE Post-compensation however... ... mixes in-phase and quadrature ASE from the line  a large Dpost worsens PG impact on BER OFC ’05 – paper OThW5

  16. Failure of Linear PG Model avg F=0.55 rad/p, D=8 ps/nm/km • Go back to case without Dpost, with Din=0 (flat map). • At large end-line OSNR (25 dB/0.1 nm) good match between linear PG model (dashed) and Monte-Carlo simulations based on the beam propagation method (BPM) (solid, ~30 min simulation time per frame) What happens at smaller OSNRs? Failure is due to ASE-ASE beating during propagation OFC ’05 – paper OThW5

  17. 8 Din=0 ps/nm 6 Din=+2000 ps/nm 4 reason is that ASE-ASE beat is larger when increasing map tilt In-phase PSD at f=0 [dB] 2 0 Din=-2000 ps/nm -2 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 avg nonlinear phase F [rad/] In-phase ASE PSD at f=0 20100 km, OSNR=11 dB/0.1nm, D=8 ps/nm/km OFC ’05 – paper OThW5

  18. BER Evaluation How do we estimate the bit error rate (BER) with strong PG? We decided to use and extend a known analytical BER evaluation method*. Main assumptions are: • Rx NRZ signal obtained by noiseless BPM propagation (ISI) • Gaussian ASE at Rx • White PSD on zeros • PSD on ones estimated from Monte-Carlo BPM simulations • No pump depletion on ones Then a Karhunen-Loeve (KL) BER evaluation method is used for quadratic detectors in Gaussian noise. *[ G. Boscoet al., Trans. Commun. Dec. 2001 ] OFC ’05 – paper OThW5

  23. Large perturbations Small OSNR In-phase PSD at f=0 We managed to get an analytical approximation of the in-phase ASE PSD at f=0,Sr(0) even in the large-signal regime (in the linear case Sr(0)=1) We note in passing that Sr(0) does not depend on post-compensation, since there is no GVD phase rotation at f=0!

  28. Conclusions • PG significant factor in design of 10Gb/s NRZ DM long-haulterrestrial systems operated at “small” OSNR and thus needing FEC. MESSAGE:Do not rely on traditional simulation packages that neglect PG: too optimistic about the gain of your FEC. • Our PG doubling formula useful to tell when OSNR is “small” . • Up to PG doubling, BER can be found by our semi-analytical mehod. Well above PG doubling, however, Gaussian ASE assumption less accurate, and tends to underestimate BER. • When PG significant, less Dpost is needed than in noiseless optimization. • PG even more significant in low OSNR RZ systems. For OOK-RZ soliton systems classical noise analyses neglect ASE-ASE beating during propagation. OFC ’05 – paper OThW5
