We review the application of correlation for fiber optical sensing using direct or coherent detection. The Correlation-OTDR with direct detection provides a group delay measurement resolution in the order of a few picoseconds, while coherent detection enables dynamic event evaluation by analyzing the phase information.Show More
We report on methods to monitor the transmission path in optical networks using a correlation-based OTDR technique with direct and coherent detection. A high probing symbol rate can provide picosecond-accuracy of the fiber propagation delay, while a sensitive phase detection with a high repetition rate allows the monitoring of dynamic effects in the vicinity of the fiber. We discuss various approa...Show More
Superimposed temperature variations and dynamic strain applied through a 400 Hz acoustic signal on a 195 m single-mode fiber section are successfully measured using a coherent correlation optical time domain reflectometry as an interrogator.Show More
Opening new wavelength bands is the most economic step for further increasing the capacity of optical transmission links. Characteristics of different amplifier technologies for signal amplification in different wavelength bands are detailed. In particular, the suitability of these technologies for short–term and mid–term implementation is considered. An important criterion is the availability of ...Show More
Single–fiber bidirectional transmission systems using the same wavelength for both directions suffer from reflection induced interference. Experimental results demonstrate the dependence of system performance and of the threshold of the forward error correction (FEC) on signal waveform variations induced by fiber effects. Larger signal distortions lead to slightly larger impact of the interference...Show More
Raman amplifiers and rare-earth doped fiber amplifiers are promising candidates for increasing the capacity of fiber optical links by opening up new wavelength ranges in the near future. These technologies are compared in different scenarios considering short-term and mid-term availability of qualified components.Show More
Using a Correlation-OTDR, we characterized the temperature-induced group delay variations of two nested antiresonant nodeless hollow core fibers. The temperature sensitivity of both is substantially less than for SSMF with some dependency on coating type.Show More
Exploiting new wavelength bands for data transmission is the most economic step for further increasing the capacity of optical links. Important aspects of the most relevant amplifier technologies supporting this step are discussed.Show More
A correlation optical time-domain reflectometry (C-OTDR) method is presented, which measures the propagation delay with an accuracy of a few picoseconds. This accuracy is achieved using a test signal data rate of 10 Gbit/s and employing cross-correlation and pulse fitting techniques. In this paper we introduce and evaluate the basic signal processing steps, investigate the measurement accuracy, an...Show More
This paper reviews methods for autonomous tuning of optical transceivers, based on an overhead management channel between the modules on both sides of the link. Different implementation options for the tuning principle, as well as for the tunable laser are introduced.Show More
Several multi-core fibers (MCF) were characterized using Correlation Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (C-OTDR) in terms of propagation delay and polarization mode dispersion (PMD). The results show that the propagation delay in the cores depends on the position of the core in the fiber and that the differential delay between the cores varies with temperature.Show More
Fixed optical transport is the predominant fronthaul technology for 4G mobile access networks, carrying the traffic between the central office and subtended antenna sites. With the new functional splits and related standards introduced in 5G, new capacity and quality-of-service requirements are imposed on optical transport. In this paper, we discuss low-cost high-capacity optical fronthaul solutio...Show More
The principle of Correlation Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (C-OTDR) is proposed to accurately measure the propagation delay over a multi-span optical fiber link. The delay of the transmission fiber is measured in the reflective mode, while uni-directional node components are measured in a transmissive mode. Delimiting reflectors are required between the sections for accurate demarcation.Show More
In this paper we analyze the perspective of digitized radio over fiber (DRoF) fronthaul, showing how to meet the requirements to cope with the future radio access networks (RANs). This entails the introduction of space division multiplexing (SDM) while increasing the flexibility and capacity of the DRoF transceivers.Since the evolution of the DRoF fronthaul is being revised and re-defined, in the ...Show More
Over the past few years, the passive WDM technology has been proven to be a suitable and cost-effective solution in C-RAN environments to interconnect the central office and remote antenna sites, due to the future-proof bandwidth and greater utilization of fiber resources. The G.metro passive WDM allows single fiber working (SFW) operation by separating the up- and downstream into two wavelength w...Show More
We successfully demonstrated the centralized wavelength control in a passive port-agnostic WDM fronthaul system for tracking a remotely tunable MEMS-VCSEL transceiver, which exhibited strong chirp due to the low-frequency pilot tone modulation.Show More
Using a Correlation-OTDR we measured the latency of fibers in a deployed cable and calculated the time coefficient of the fiber temperature changes. Annual temperature variations of 25K were estimated for the deployed fiber.Show More
Next generation optical transceivers for data center interconnects are expected to feature bandwidths in excess of 400Gb/s, while exhibiting a smaller footprint, lower power consumption and lower cost per Gb/s compared to current generation 100Gb/s transceivers. To this end, new technologies such as photonic hybrid integration are explored within research and industry and standardization efforts a...Show More
Correlation OTDR with a bit rate of 10 Gbit/s is used to measure fiber latency with an accuracy of a few picoseconds. The concept is demonstrated measuring the chromatic dispersion of a 2.2-km fiber section.Show More
Current trends in Data Center Interconnectivity are considered in the light of increasing traffic and under the constraint of limited cost and power consumption.Show More
This paper presents an experimental investigation of 8% pilot tone modulation depth is a system transmitting NRZ, PAM4 and Duobinary. The penalty from the pilot tone increases with signal amplitude levels and reaches a received power penalty of 3 dB.Show More
Modulation formats with intensity modulation (IM) and direct detection (DD) are attractive due to the simple optical configuration, the low power consumption and a small footprint. We revisit the performance of 56 Gb/s and 112 Gb/s four-level multilevel intensity modulation (PAM-4) and discrete multitone transmission (DMT) for wavelength multiplexed high speed connections with distances up to 80 –...Show More
