Four-Wave Mixing Impacts on The Uplink Performance of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Gigabit Passive Optical Networks
Abstract
Four-wave
mixing (FWM) is an important nonlinear effect severely limiting the performance
of optical fiber networks. In this paper, FWM impact on the uplink performance
of dense wavelength division multiplexing gigabit passive optical networks
(DWDM-GPONs) using standard single mode fibers (SSMFs) has been analyzed.
Simulations have been carried out on the center uplink channels of 7-, 15-, 29-
and 35-channel DWDM-GPON systems that have 12.5 GHz, 25 GHz, 50 GHz and 100 GHz
channel spacing values. Signal-to-crosstalk ratio (SXR) variations occurring
due to FWM impacts have been considered in evaluating the uplink performance.
Simulation results exhibit worst-case values under FWM impacts and therefore are
important in giving clues about choosing system parameters satisfying a minimum
23 dB SXR, which is an appropriate value for current GPON applications showing
system reliability under FWM impacts.
