DFE – Decision-Feedback Equalizer
Project DFE Application.osd demonstrates the application of the component ‘Electronic Equalizer”. The Electronic Equalizer component is available in the OptiSystem component library folder ‘Default/Receivers Library/Regenerators’ (Figure 1). Figure 1: OptiSystem component library The system layout is presented in Figure 2. A 10 GB/s BPSK signal is generated by the ‘BPSK Generator’ component. The signal is…
Dispersion Compensation Using Electronic Equalization
Project Equalizer GVD.osd demonstrates the application of the equalizer in an optical link (Figure 1). Figure 2 depicts the eye diagram before and after dispersion compensation. Figure 1: GVD compensation Figure 2: Eye diagram before and after the equalizer

Optimizing Power and Dispersion Compensation for Nonlinear RZ Transmission
In this tutorial we show an example of a maximization procedure. We will optimize the launch power and DCF length to maximize the Q factor at the receiver. Upgrading an existing noise-limited fiber plant requires an increase in launched power, which in turn brings the fiber nonlinearities. It has been shown that nonlinear return to…
10 Gb/s Single Channel Transmission in Standard Mode Fibers (SMF)
The fundamental limitation to high-speed communication systems over the embedded standard single-mode fiber at 1.55 µm is the linear chromatic dispersion. Typical value of β2 = –20ps2 / km at 1.55 µm for SMF leads to D=16 ps/(nm.km). For bit rate B = 10 Gb/s, the slot duration is TB = 100 ps. If we…
40 Gb/s Single Channel Transmission in Standard Mode Fibers (SMF)
The fundamental limitation to high- speed communication systems over the embedded standard single-mode fiber at 1.55 mm is the linear chromatic dispersion. Typical value of β2 = –20ps2/km at 1.55 µm for SMF leads to D=16 ps/(nm.km). For bit rate B = 40 Gb/s, the slot duration will be TB = 25 ps. If we…
Engineering the Fiber Nonlinearities and Dispersion
The purpose of this example is to investigate the fiber nonlinearity and dispersion related issues in a system.
As long as the optical power within an optical fiber is small, the fiber can be treated as linear medium. However, when the power level is high, we have to consider the impact of nonlinear effects.
System Design – Power Budget
The purpose of power budget is to ensure that enough power will reach the receiver to maintain reliable performance during the entire system lifetime. The minimum average power required by the receiver is the receiver sensitivity. The average launch power is generally specified for each transmitter with optical powers expressed in dBm. In order to…
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)
In optical time-division multiplexing (OTDM) systems, several optical signal modulated at the bit rate B using the same carrier frequency are multiplexed optically to form a composite optical signal at a bit rate NB, where N is the number of multiplexed optical channels. OTDM Multiplexer.osd (see Figure 5) shows an OTDM transmitter.
Broadband Optical System Based on a Passive Optical Network (BPON)
The system designed in project BPON Bidirectional.osd (Figure 1) provides a 622 Mbps of bidirectional access to multiple sites over a single fiber. It consists of an Optical Line Termination (OLT) at the service provider’s central office and 8 Optical Network Units (ONUs) near end users. Figure 1: Broadband passive optical network
