In recent experiments at 40 Gbit/s the efficiency of 0.8 bit/s/Hz has been demonstrated. Working at a bit rate as high as 40 Gbit/s the PMD could strongly impair system performance. The purpose of this work is to compare the impact of PMD on optical duobinary with respect to its impact on NRZ in a OC-768 FEC-inclusive scenario requiring an actual line-rate of 42.65 Gbit/s. We demonstrated that the impairment of PMD is larger on duobinary than on NRZ systems. However, due to its better intrinsic performance, the use of duobinary may still produce convenient results in some scenarios, like the ones analyzed.","PeriodicalId":423869,"journal":{"name":"The 15th Annual Meeting of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128201939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An actively harmonic mode-locked fiber ring laser works at the modulation frequency which is an integral multiple of the fundamental cavity mode frequency spacing. As for harmonic mode-locking of erbium doped fiber lasers, relaxation oscillation and beating between supermodes are the main noise sources introduced by amplitude fluctuation and time jitter. However, a 10 GHz actively mode-locked fiber ring laser with semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as gain medium shows good amplitude stability compared with EDFA without active cavity length stabilization, where no relaxation oscillation was observed. In this paper, we analyse the beating between supermodes in a mode-locked fiber ring laser and present supermode competition suppression due to gain saturation in SOA and shorter recovery time compared with EDFA.","PeriodicalId":423869,"journal":{"name":"The 15th Annual Meeting of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131934281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
