We present a theoretical and experimental investigation of unrepeatered transmission over standard single-mode fiber (SMF-28) using several schemes of distributed Raman amplification, including first, second, and dual order. In order to further extend the transmission distance, we utilize advanced bidirectional higher-order ultra-long Raman fiber laser-based amplification, where we use fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) to reflect Stokes-shifted light from the secondary pumps. Our work demonstrates the possibility of transmission up to 240-km span length with a total span loss of 52.7 dB. Here, we use a 28-Gbaud signal using a 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulation format. Our results highlight the contribution of nonlinear compensation using digital back propagation in a digital signal processor (DSP) code at the receiver.

<span lang="EN-GB">Transmitting the highest capacity throughput over the longest possible distance without any regeneration stage is an important goal of any long-haul optical network system. Accordingly, Polarization-Multiplexed Quadrature Phase-Shift-Keying (PM-QPSK) was introduced lately to achieve high bit-rate with relatively high spectral efficiency. Unfortunately, the required broad bandwidth of PM-QPSK increases the linear and nonlinear impairments in the physical layer of the optical fiber network. Increased attention has been spent to compensate for these impairments in the last years. In this paper, Single Mode Fiber (SMF), single channel, PM-QPSK transceiver was simulated, with a mix of optical and electrical (Digital Signal Processing (DSP)) compensation stages to minimize the impairments. The behaviour of the proposed system was investigated under four conditions: without compensation, with only optical compensator, with only DSP compensator and finally with both compensators. An evidence improvement was noticed in the case of hybrid compensation, where the transmission distance was multiplied from (720 km) to more than (3000 km) at 40 Gb/s.</span>

In this paper, a machine learning-based tunable optical-digital signal processor is demonstrated for a short-reach optical communication system. The effect of fiber chromatic dispersion after square-law detection is mitigated using a hybrid structure, which shares the complexity between the optical and the digital domain. The optical part mitigates the chromatic dispersion by slicing the signal into small sub-bands and delaying them accordingly, before regrouping the signal again. The optimal delay is calculated in each scenario to minimize the bit error rate. The digital part is a nonlinear equalizer based on a neural network. The results are analyzed in terms of signal-to-noise penalty at the KP4 forward error correction threshold. The penalty is calculated with respect to a back-to-back transmission without equalization. Considering 32 GBd transmission and 0 dB penalty, the proposed hybrid solution shows chromatic dispersion mitigation up to 200 ps/nm (12 km of equivalent standard single-mode fiber length) for stage 1 of the hybrid module and roughly double for the second stage. A simplified version of the optical module is demonstrated with an approximated 1.5 dB penalty compared to the complete two-stage hybrid module. Chromatic dispersion tolerance for a fixed optical structure and a simpler configuration of the nonlinear equalizer is also investigated.

Abstract We present a model of a Raman-parametric hybrid amplifier for flat gain amplification of narrowband Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed (DWDM) terabits capacity system. In the proposed configuration Raman pump has been cascaded with one – pump parametric amplifier. While Raman amplifier typically uses a long length single mode fiber as a gain medium, the Fiber Optical Parametric Amplifiers (FOPA) uses a small length of Highly Non-Linear Fibers (HNLF). This allows for maximum optimization of the gain achieved using Raman as well as parametric processes. We focus on the signal degradation due to non-linear crosstalk arising because of multi-pump configuration, in particular, due to the generated idlers within the operational bandwidth. As the channel spacing is reduced, fiber non-linearities increase significantly. The dilemma to use the fewer number of high powered pumps Vs, the use of increased number of relatively low powered pumps has been investigated for DWDM system. The optimization of the pump powers has been evaluated in terms of signal degradation, gain, gain variation and OSNR. It has been demonstrated that a maximum gain of 45.38 dB for 96×40 Gbps, 25 GHz system is attainable up to 200 km of transmission distance while maintaining OSNR>18 dB using the proposed hybrid. No gain compensation or gain optimization technique has been used. The findings of this work establish flat gain in narrowband DWDM systems is achievable through proper optimization of pump wavelengths and their powers.
