DP-QPSK Modulation with Signal Amplification for Extended Communication Range in Optical Fiber Systems

Problem Definition

Optical communication systems rely on high-power and narrow spectral distribution optical sources to facilitate high capacity in optical networks. However, the presence of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) poses a significant challenge by limiting the insertion of power into the fiber, causing degradation in signal quality characterized by a decrease in Q-factor and an increase in Bit Error Rate (BER). To address this issue, previous research has explored various techniques for SBS suppression, including Phase Shift Keying (PSK), Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK), Frequency Shift Keying (FSK), Carrier Suppressed Return to Zero (CSRZ), and Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK). Among these approaches, the CSRZ-DQPSK transmitter has shown promising results in mitigating SBS due to its improved dispersion tolerance and robustness against non-linear effects. However, the use of DQPSK modulation in this setup has drawbacks such as lower spectrum efficiency and sensitivity to phase variations, necessitating an upgrade to enhance overall system performance and efficiency.

Objective

The objective is to enhance the performance of optical communication systems by implementing a Differential Phase-Shift Keying (DP-QPSK) modulation scheme to suppress Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS). This approach aims to improve spectral efficiency, reduce sensitivity to phase variations, and extend the communication range beyond the previously limited 50 Km single mode fiber link. By upgrading the modulation scheme and implementing amplification to enhance signal quality over longer distances, the project seeks to create a more efficient optical network system that overcomes the challenges posed by SBS and improves overall performance.

Proposed Work

In this project, we propose the use of a Differential Phase-Shift Keying (DP-QPSK) modulation scheme for a Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) suppression model. DP-QPSK has high spectral efficiency and is less sensitive towards phase variation, making it a more suitable choice for suppressing SBS compared to the previous DQPSK approach. Additionally, the communication range in the previous work was limited to a 50 Km single mode fiber link, but in the proposed approach, we aim to elongate the communication range. This is achieved by implementing amplification in the system to enhance the quality factor as the distance increases, reducing the impact of noise on the signal quality. By upgrading the modulation scheme and extending the communication range, we aim to create a more efficient optical network system that overcomes the limitations posed by SBS and improves overall performance.

Application Area for Industry

This project can be applied in various industrial sectors such as telecommunications, data centers, and high-speed networking industries. The proposed solution of using Differential Phase-Shift Keying (DP-QPSK) modulation scheme for Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) suppression addresses the challenge of high power levels and narrow spectral distributions required in optical networks. By upgrading from the previous DQPSK approach to DP-QPSK, the system achieves high spectral efficiency and becomes less sensitive to phase variation, leading to improved link performance over longer communication distances. Additionally, the implementation of amplification in the proposed system enhances the quality factor and ensures a more efficient overall system, which is beneficial for industries requiring high-capacity optical networks with extended communication ranges.

The proposed project can enrich academic research, education, and training by providing a novel approach using DP-QPSK modulation scheme for suppressing Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in optical networks. This research has significant relevance in the field of high capacity optical networks, where the need for optical sources with high power levels and narrow spectral distributions is crucial. By upgrading the previous DQPSK approach to DP-QPSK, which has higher spectral efficiency and is less sensitive to phase variation, the proposed work can potentially improve the performance of communication systems in terms of dispersion tolerance and robustness towards non-linearities. Students in the field of optical communication, signal processing, and network engineering can benefit from this project by understanding and applying the DP-QPSK modulation scheme for SBS suppression in their research and academic studies. They can utilize the code and literature of this project to explore innovative research methods, simulations, and data analysis within educational settings.

Moreover, MTech students and PhD scholars focusing on optical communication systems can use this research for their thesis work, experimentations, and investigations into advanced modulation techniques for improving system performance. The potential applications of this project can extend to various research domains such as telecommunications, photonics, and optical networking. With the elongated communication range and implemented amplification in the proposed system, researchers can explore the impact of distance on signal quality and investigate strategies to enhance system performance over longer distances. The project opens up opportunities for exploring new technologies and methodologies in the field of optical communications, providing a platform for conducting experiments and simulations to validate the effectiveness of DP-QPSK modulation in suppressing SBS and improving system efficiency. In future scopes, researchers can further enhance the proposed system by incorporating advanced signal processing techniques, exploring different modulation formats, and optimizing system parameters for achieving even higher performance levels.
