面向高阶编码格式的全光波长变换技术的研究

Wavelength conversion is of great importance in solving the problems in optical networks, such as wavelength mismatch, wavelength reuse, virtual wavelength route, all-optical wavelength switching. Wavelength conversion for high-order coding formats is an urgent need in order to adapt to the current mainstream transmission technology. Considering the shortcomings of the wavelength conversion based on the four wave mixing, including low conversion efficiency, adjacent frequency crosstalk, phase matching difficulty, this project proposes a new wavelength conversion technology for high-order coding formats. The technique is based on the principle of SOA cross phase modulation. The effect of the cross gain modulation is overcome by using the differential balanced signal. A all-optical phase modulator to break through the current electro-optic modulator rate limit is put forward. New schemes of optical wavelength converters are proposed for DPSK, QPSK, DP-QPSK, QAM and other high-order coding formats. It can convert more than 40Gb/s signals and can be used in 100G and above systems. Scientific problems, such as the rate limit of SOA cross phase modulation under the control of balanced differential signal, the quality evaluation of high-order coding formats through the all-optical wavelength conversion, the effects of the link fiber nonlinearity and other SOA nonlinearity on wavelength conversion, will be solved. The wavelength conversion technology has many advantages, such as high conversion efficiency, having a gain, small in size and easily integrated. It has important application prospects in all-optical wavelength switching networks.
