In this paper, the performance of a spectral amplitude coding-optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) system is investigated utilizing a single photodiode (SPD) detection technique. The proposed system uses enhanced double weight (EDW) codes as signature codes with three simultaneous users to overcome both phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN) and multiple access interference (MAI). In addition, a dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) is used in order to decrease the group velocity dispersion (GVD) caused in the single mode fiber. An erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is used to overcome the attenuation. The use of both DCF and EDFA leads to an appreciable enhancement in the system performance. The system performance is evaluated through its bit error rate (BER), Q-factor, and received power. A comparison between the EDW codes and modified double weight (MDW) codes on the SAC-OCDMA system is demonstrated. Simulation is carried out through Optisystem ver. 7. The simulation results show that: (a) using an avalanche photodiode (APD) over PIN photodiode allows data transmission over longer distances; (b) the use of DCF improves the system BER;(c) using MDW codes gives better BER than using EDW codes.

Abstract In this paper, a novel birefringence measurement method through the Rayleigh backscattered lightwave within single-mode fiber is proposed, using a single chirped-pulse with arbitrary state of polarization. Numerical analysis is carried out in detail, then pulse-compression phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (PC-Φ-OTDR) with polarization-diverse coherent detection is employed to verify this method. A 2km spun single-mode fiber is tested with 8.6 cm spatial resolution, and the average birefringence of the fiber under test is measured as 0.234rad/m, which is consistent with previous literatures about single-mode fiber. Moreover, the relationship between the measured birefringence and the spatial resolution is also studied for the first time, and the results show that spatial resolution is crucial for fiber birefringence measurement.

The CO-OFDM single-mode optical fiber system is constructed by the Matlab coupled with the Optisystem. And the influence of different channel algorithm on the receiver of system is researched. The simulation results show that the system performance is improved by using LS or LMMSE channel algorithm. And the LMMSE channel algorithm can provide better performance than the LS channel algorithm. Compared with LS algorithm, the required receiver OSNR is reduced by about 1 dB using improved LMMSE algorithm at bit-error-rate (BER) =10-4 in the CO-OFDM single-mode optical fiber system.

Abstract Dynamic characteristics of directly modulated laser are investigated by simulating the single mode laser rate equations, emphasized on the effect of the gain compression for the two laser models: one adiabatic chirp dominated and another with a combination of adiabatic and transient chirp-dominated laser. The influence of laser adiabatic and transient chirp on system performance in normal and anomalous propagation regime is investigated by simulation. It is shown that in the anomalous propagation regime, the presence of fiber nonlinearity can be beneficial, improving the system performance by opening the eye diagram at system output. Contrarily, in the normal propagation regime, presence of high gain compression coefficient (ε > 4 × 10–17 cm3) can strongly degrade the system performance by closing the eye diagram at system output. Finally, it is shown that the laser model with a combination of adiabatic and transient chirp with anomalous dispersion coefficient shows much better result in the saturated regime. This can be used to extend the transmission distance in optical communication.
