Abstract
CO-OFDM is a very attractive modulation and multiplexing technique that is used in wideband optical systems as well as optical wireless systems. In this paper; performance of utilizing multiple optical phase conjugate (OPC) modules in CO-OFDM system as a midlink spectrum inverter has been analyzed in order to improve the performance of system in long-haul fiber-optic channel. Firstly, performance of COOFDM system investigated at 30Gb/s, 50Gb/s and 100Gb/s which successfully transmitted over 1800Km, 1440Km and 1080 Km link length respectively without using any optical phase conjugation module. Further multiple OPC modules used in order to compensate effects of Kerr non linearities.8400Km of long distance transmission has achieved with acceptable BER limits by incorporating 6 OPC modules each after 1200Km at 30Gb/s. Results are analyzed in terms of OSNR, Q-factor for varied launched power and results revealed that system performs best at 12dB input power and effects of SPM decreased by using multiple OPC modules.
