Abstract: An optical receiver includes a demodulator having a delay interferometer comprising an optical input that receives a phase modulated optical signal from a bandwidth limited transmission system. The delay interferometer has a free spectral range that is larger than a symbol rate of the phase modulated optical signal by an amount that improves receiver performance. The receiver also includes a differential detector having a first and a second photodetector. The first photodetector is optically coupled to the constructive optical output of the delay interferometer. The second photodetector is optically coupled to the destructive optical output of the delay interferometer. The differential detector combines a first electrical detection signal generated by the first photodetector and a second electrical detection signal generated by the second photodetector to generate an electrical reception signal.

Abstract: A method for modulating fiber optic transmissions with a low sensitivity to fiber non-linearity utilizes short pulses (typically shorter than 20 ps), and bit rates of 10 Gb/s and higher, to improve performance relative to heretofore known nonlinear transmission with Return-to-Zero (RZ) format implementations. At a base bit rate of 40 Gb/s, a distance determination for achieving 100% cumulative dispersion compensation is made, and a predetermined amount of pre-dispersion compensation is applied based on a determined distance using lower duty cycles for transmission. Higher bit rates (i.e., higher than 40 Gb/s) broaden the spectral bandwidth of the transmission and can result in no pre-dispersion compensation or negative distance pre-dispersion compensation of the same sign as the transmission fiber.

Abstract: The specification describes an optical transmission system for high speed, high capacity digital pulse transmission, i.e. at least 10 Gb/s at a duty cycle of at least 10%, which uses transmission fiber with a dispersion value greater than 20 ps/(nm-km) or more negative than −5 ps/(nm-km). The system operates in the pseudo-linear transmission mode (PLTM). In the PLTM it was discovered that pulse distortion decreases, i.e. eye closure penalty actually decreases, as the dispersion value increases. System performance actually improves by increasing the value of absolute dispersion of the transmission fiber.
