Introduction

  • Recent transmission demonstrations showed feasibility of achieving

transoceanic transmission distance with spectral efficiencies > 100%

– coherent detection – PDM-QPSK or PDM-OFDM-QPSK – distributed Raman amplification – low loss transmission path with large effective area fibers – low loss transmission path with large effective area fibers

  • In this presentation we will review our latest experimental results for:

– 40G using dispersion managed system with 100 km spacing and dual stage EDFAs only (120% SE over 7200 km, OFC 2010-OtuD2) – 100G using optimized for coherent detection testbed with 50 km spacing and simple single stage EDFAs (300% SE over 10600 km, OFC2010-PDPB10)

40G Experimental Setup: testbed and amplifiers

  • Loop testbed: 6 x 100 km spans and 7 EDFAs

– periodic dispersion management with dispersion compensated to 0 after 600 km (optimized for direct detection)

  • Each span: 50 km large effective area fiber ~135 µm2 followed by 50 km

pure silica core fiber

– provides reduced transmission nonlinearity and loss

  • Dual stage EDFA: 28 nm BW and 20.5 dBm output
  • Dispersion compensation: intra stage DCM (~9 km; -2300 ps/nm)
  • Dispersion compensation: intra stage DCM (~9 km; -2300 ps/nm)

– provides ~1 dB OSNR advantage compared to 100 km DFF spans

Performance of PDM-QPSK 40Gb/s at 7200 km

  • Carrier phase recovery is impacted by nonlinear transmission effects

– Differential (D)QPSK scheme provided similar performance compared to

Differential Coding (DC)-QPSK – Differential QPSK scheme does not use carrier phase estimation (similar to direct detection) – QPSK scheme (absolute phase) suffers from loss of phase tracking (phase slips) 2 4 6 8 10

Performance vs. Distance

  • For 23 Gbaud signal, coherent detection has 2 dB advantage relative

to direct detection near 3500 km distance

  • Phase wandering effect (OFC 2010 – OTuL2) increases with distance

and the benefit of coherent detection reduces

– In-line dispersion management optimized for direct detection

  • Advantage of coherent over direct detection diminishes

with distance in the case of dispersion managed system

  • Polarization multiplexed DC-QPSK has better

performance than single polarization DC-QPSK
