AN IMPROVED MULTI-USER DISPERSION COMPENSATION SYSTEM USING DRZ MODULATION AND DECISION FEEDBACK EQUALIZER

Problem Definition

The current state of DWDM systems shows promise in providing increased data capabilities and efficient use of fiber networks. However, one major issue that affects transmission in optical DWDM systems is the overlap of different wavelength signals when traveling over long distances. This ultimately leads to pulse broadening, causing dispersion and signal losses, leading to errors at the receiver end. Existing techniques, such as linear Chirped Fiber Bragg Grating (CFBG) and dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) schemes with EDFA amplifier, have been proposed to address dispersion issues. However, these techniques are limited by factors such as the use of a simple RZ modulation format and the need for dispersion compensation fiber.

As a result, it is evident that improvements are necessary to overcome these limitations and enhance the efficiency of DWDM systems. The proposed model in this paper aims to address these limitations and provide a solution to the dispersion problem in DWDM systems.

Objective

The objective of the proposed work is to address the dispersion challenges in DWDM systems by implementing an optical differential return-to-zero (DRZ) modulation technique based on advanced OOK modulation. This approach aims to enhance system performance by utilizing Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) and Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) techniques for dispersion compensation, along with EDFA amplifiers for signal amplification. By adopting a hybrid approach that combines CFBG and DFE, the goal is to improve system efficiency, increase the number of users accommodated, and enhance the system's resilience to non-linear effects. The proposed DRZ modulation technique is designed to improve dispersion tolerance and overall reliability for high-capacity long-haul transmission in optical fiber communication systems.

Proposed Work

From the problem definition and literature survey, it is evident that the current DWDM systems face issues with dispersion when different wavelength signals overlap, leading to signal losses and errors at the receiver end. The proposed work aims to address these limitations by implementing an optical differential return-to-zero (DRZ) modulation technique based on advanced OOK modulation. Additionally, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) and Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) techniques will be utilized for dispersion compensation, with the inclusion of EDFA amplifiers for signal amplification. The objective is to enhance system performance and overcome the dispersion challenges in DWDM systems. To achieve this goal, a hybrid approach using chirped Fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) and DFE is proposed to replace the traditional techniques involving DCF.

The use of DFE is preferred due to its cost-effectiveness and simplicity, compared to DCF. Moreover, the proposed system will accommodate a higher number of users to meet the increasing demand, addressing a limitation of the current systems. By implementing the DRZ modulation technique, which incorporates advanced features of CSRZ and DPSK modulation, the efficiency and dispersion tolerance of the system are greatly improved. The use of complete carrier suppression and reduced side peaks in the DRZ signals will enhance the system's resilience to non-linear effects, resulting in a more cost-effective and reliable solution for high-capacity long-haul transmission in optical fiber communication systems.
