A design method of all-optical shaper for multi-level pulse-amplitude modulation signal

Abstract

The invention discloses a design method of a multi-level pulse amplitude modulation signal all-optical shaper. Firstly, the MZI shaping module is determined according to the regeneration level number to realize the shaping function of the multi-level PAM signal, and then the multi-level is input according to the degradation. The difference between the PAM signal power and the working range of the MZI shaping module adjusts the gain of the linear matching optical amplifier so that the degraded multi-level PAM optical signal power matches the working range of the MZI shaping module; where the MZI shaping module is an all-optical shaping module The core of the device can be realized by a section of nonlinear optical medium, which mainly completes the shaping function of the multi-level PAM signal; in this way, the problem of signal degradation of the multi-level PAM optical signal in the optical fiber communication system is solved, and the multi-level PAM optical signal is extended. The transmission distance of the signal provides a strong support for the long-distance effective transmission of the multi-level PAM optical signal in the optical fiber communication system.

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of all-optical information processing, and more specifically relates to a design method of an all-optical shaper for multi-level pulse amplitude modulation signals. Background technique [0002] In optical fiber communication systems, with the continuous improvement of transmission bandwidth and speed requirements, optical-electrical-optical conversion technology can no longer meet the demand, and all-optical information processing technology has become the direction of future development. In an all-optical communication system, due to the ASE noise accumulation of optical amplifiers, fiber dispersion, fiber nonlinear effects, and interaction within or between channels, the optical signal is degraded, which seriously affects the quality of communication and limits To improve the capacity and transmission distance of the communication system, it is necessary to regenerate the degraded optical signal.

Problems solved by technology

Compared with OOK optical signals, multi-level PAM optical signals are more sensitive to degradation factors such as fiber dispersion, ASE, and nonlinearity, which limits the transmission distance of multi-level PAM optical signals to a certain extent

At present, most all-optical shapers are designed for OOK optical signals, and their implementation schemes and corresponding design methods are difficult to directly apply to multi-level PAM signals.

In fact, it is much more difficult to implement an all-optical shaper for multi-level PAM signals, one of the reasons is the lack of a more general design method to guide
