Reconfigurable all-optical format conversion for 16QAM/8QAM by employing PSA in HNLF
Abstract:
Extensive investigations are undertaken on the feasibility of utilizing phase sensitive amplification (PSA) in highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) to achieve a reconfigurable 16QAM/8QAM all-optical format conversion for optical data center networks. A comprehensive theoretical model is developed and subsequently verified, based on numerical simulations undertaken to explore the effectiveness of the nonlinear effects of phase insensitive amplification, PSA, and self phase modulation for the proposed all-optical format conversion scheme. It is demonstrated that the proposed scheme can achieve a reconfigurable all-optical format conversion from a 16QAM signal to two quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) signals or from an 8QAM signal to one QPSK signal and one binary phase shift keying signal with data rates of 92Gbps and 69Gbps for 16QAM and 8QAM signals, respectively.
