A temperature independent 80-Gb/s 100-km transmission system is demonstrated with the use of spectral phase modulation-based tunable dispersion compensator （TDC）. The principle of dispersion compensation based on spectral phase modulation as well as the relationship between spectral phase modulation function and group velocity dispersion （GVD） are theoretically studied. TDC based on spectral phase modulation is implemented. The performance of 80-Gb/s transmission system is experimentally evaluated. The non- linear relationship between temperature and temperature-induced dispersion fluctuations is demonstrated through the asymmetric temperature-induced power penalty without dispersion compensation. With respect to the low temperature area, the temperature-induced dispersion fluctuations are smaller than those in the high temperature area. By using the proposed TDC, temperature independent 80-Gb/s transmission is successfully demonstrated under a temperature range of -20 60 ℃ with a power penalty of less than 0.8 dB.
A simple and cost-effective wavelength-switchable fiber ring laser based on a chirped moire fiber grating (CMFG)and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is proposed,and stable wavelength Iasing oscillations at room temperature iS experimentally demonstrated.To serve as a wavelength selective element,the CMFG possesses excellent comb-like filtering characteristics including stable wavelength interval and ultra-narrow passband.and its fabrication method iS easy and flexible.The measured optical signal-to-noise ratio reaches the highest value of 50 dB and the power fluctuation of each channel output iS less than 0.5 dB within an hour.The output laser power of different channels is almost identical(difference of less than 1 dB) within the tunable range.Methods to optimize the laser performance are also discussed and the superiority of the CMFG iS experimentally demonstrated.
