Investigation and Suppression of Fiber Nonlinearities Using Injection-Locking in OFDM-WDM System

Abstract EN

The fiber nonlinearities play a major role in optical communication with respect to the system performance and transmission capacity.

Here, fiber nonlinear impairments are investigated through consideration of several parameters of optical fiber system, such as fiber length and core effective area.

We also demonstrate the mitigation of fiber nonlinearities by using single-stage injection-locking in 3 × 10 Gb/s OFDM-WDM system.

This paper focuses on selection of appropriate bias current for slave laser to suppress the four wave mixing (FWM) crosstalk effects.

These findings resemble the importance of single-stage injection-locking for FWM suppression for high-speed data communication.
