In the 1980s and the early 1990s, direct modulation of semiconductor laser was the mostly used technique. However, direct modulation has severa

Directly-modulated optical signals experience fluctuations in intensity due to Relative Intensity Noise (RIN) of the semiconductor laser. Nonzero line wi

Hence, external modulation has been an essential choice for the high speed long-haul communication 5,6. External modulators remove the large amount of wavelength chirping wh

Even for very low value of driving voltage EOM is able to a

An Electro-Optic Phase Modulator (EOPM) uses only one electrode. When a driving voltage is applied to the electrode, the re

The induced delay corresponds to the phase change, thus an EOPM is able to manipulate the phase of the light wave carrier 9.where V is the driving vol

Optical field Eo at the output of the EOPM is given as:Eo(t) = Ei (t)ej(t) (2)Optical intensity modulator uses two EOPMs in a parallel structure to form a MachZehnder interferometer com

Input optical signal splits equally in the two arms of the MZIM which are actually EOPMs for modulating the phase of the optical carrier. At the output, the two arms are coupled either constructively or destructively to provide intensity m

Dual-arm MZIM has pushpull arrangement where the dual drive voltages V1(t) and V2(t) are inverse to each other and thus, ab

Comparison of 20 Gbps RZ duo-binary transmitter modules.The use of optical duo-binary transmitter with the dual-arm
18、 MZIM is the usual choice in transmitter design at high data rate, however, dual arm configuration demands more stringent requirement of symmetry to be met 10. Single-arm MZIM with duo-binary filter can also be used where duo-binary filter can be approximated by a low pass filter with half-power cut

At this cutoff frequency, the spectral occupancy of the modulated optical field is restricted to f0 (Bit rate)/2, where f0 is a nominal continuous wave (CW) frequency 11. The frequency spectrum of an ideal duo-binary signal exhibits the first nulls at f
20、0 (Bit rate)/2. So, we can band-limit the signal at f0 (Bit rate)/2 while preserving at the same time, sufficient information for later reconstruction of the signal 11. The duo-binary filter used for simulation is a fifth order low-pass Bessel filter. Duo-binary signal generation can also be achieve

In the present analysis, we are considering three types of duo-binary transmitter modules viz. (1) duo-binary transmitter base

Simulative analysis has been performed using commercial package
24、 OptSimTM. We carried out our analysis at three different bit rates of 10, 20 and 40G bps. The simulation setup typically comprises of three sections: duo-binary generation, i.e. transmitter section, optical filter or channel and the receiver section. Receiver section which is common in the link des

26、. We optimize the modulator chirp C for all three transmitter modules at an Extinction ratio of 20 dB. To find the value of C that optimizes system performance, we vary the C value from -4 to +2. Fig. 1 shows the simulation setup of NRZ duo-binary transmission using T#1 module. Optical link consisti
27、ng of Single Mode Fiber (SMF) of 80 km, 20 km and 4 km lengths have been considered for duo-binary transmission at 10, 20 and 40Gbps respectively. SMF has the following specifications: attenuation loss of 0.2 dB/km, dispersion and dispersion slope of 16 ps/km-nm and 0.07 ps/nm2-km at 1550 nm, respec
28、tively, effective area of 80 m2 and refractive index of 2.5 10-20 m2/W.SMF is followed by an EDFA that provides a fixed power of 3 dBm and has a noise figure of 4.5 dB. In this simulative work, an optical laser having 10 MHz line width has been considered.To carry out simulation, first RZ duo-binary
29、 transmission has been considered and then the RZ pulse generator in Figs. 13 has been replaced with NRZ pulse generator to obtain NRZ duo-binary transmission. For a particular data rate optimal value of C has been figured out for each type of transmitter module. Q-factor of T#1 at optimized C for e
30、xtinction ratio of 20 dB has been considered as reference to compare with T#2 and T#3. Extinction ratio at which T#2 and T#3 offers comparable performance to T#1 is investigated.Fig. 4 reports that at 10Gbps RZ duo-binary transmissions, T#1 is optimized at C = 0.4 while T#2 and T#3 optimize at 0.8 a
31、nd 1.4 C values, respectively. It is observed that at 20 dB extinction ratio T#2 performs better than T#1 and T#3. Considering T#1 with 20 dB extinction ratio as reference, it can be interpreted that T#2 achieves the performance of T#1 at a relatively lower value of extinction ratio.Fig. 5 records o
32、ptimum C value of 0.2, 1.0 and 1.6 for T#1, T#2, T#3 respectively used in 20Gbps RZ duo-binary data transmission. Comparison of different transmitter modules at 20 dB extinction ratio shows similar qualitative behavior as seen in Fig. 4. Fig. 6 shows that C value of 0.2, 0.6 and 1.4 ensures highest Q factor for the three transmitter modules respectively. At 40Gbps RZ duo-binary transmitted from T#1 provides better performance than T#2 and T#3. The performance of T#1 at 20 dB extinction ratio can be achieved at
