Nonlinearity compensation using optical phase conjugation in optical fiber transmission systems
Mohammad A Z Al-Khateeb and Andrew D Ellis
Aston University, England
The fundamental performance limits of coherent optical transmission systems can be observed by a simple optimization
between the linear noise and the nonlinear noise generated within the system. Optical Phase Conjugation (OPC) is
considered to be one of the promising techniques to compensate for optical fiber’s dispersion and nonlinearity that cause
crosstalk between signals traveling through long-haul optical transmission systems, nonlinearity compensation can lead to
significant information capacity and distance reach expansion of optical fiber transmission links. To get the full benefit from
the deployment of OPC in optical transmission systems, a few considerations must be taken into account, such as: power
profile symmetry, fiber’s dispersion slope and Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD). In this contribution, we will present our
simplified theoretical predictions of optical fiber transmission systems performance that deploy mid-link OPC and multi-
OPC and we will show that the introduction of multi-OPC in an optical transmission system will minimize the impact of
uncompensated/nondeterministic signal-signal nonlinear interactions due to fiber’s PMD and signal-noise interactions. We
will show wide range of simulation and experimental results that validate the theoretical predictions of system’s performance
for various types of links: dispersion managed, dispersion unmanaged, discretely amplified systems and distributed Raman
amplified systems. Also, we will present an extensive experimental study shows that the deployment of mid-link OPC can
provide a significant reach improvement in asymmetric lumped optical fiber links when optimizing the span length.
