Advanced Optical Fiber Communications Systems
Abstract
Part 1 describes our work on high dynamic range optical analog links. Within Part 1, Chapter 1 covers linewidth-insensitive coherent amplitude- modulated links and Chapter 2 covers coherent angle-modulated links and linewidth-insensitive interferometric links. Part 2 describes our work on dynamic wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. Within Part 2, Chapter 3 covers the physical layer of STARNET, a coherent WDM communication network built at Stanford. Chapter 4 addresses the impact of semiconductor laser linewidth on STARNET physical layer performance. Chapter 5 covers the electronic interface architecture of STARNET. Part 3 describes our work with nonlinear effects in fiber. Within Part 3, Chapter 6 covers the impact of fiber nonlinearities such as four-wave mixing (FWM), cross-phase modulation (XPM), stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), and fiber-induced parasitic phase modulation on optical communication systems. This report ends with conclusions and a list of publications generated during this project.
