MODULATION AIDA ESMAEILIAN 1

MODULATION  Modulation: the process of converting digital data in electronic form to an optical signal that can be transmitted over the fiber.  Demodulation: the process of converting the optical signal back into electronic form and extracting the data that was transmitted.  The ratio of the output powers for the 1 and 0 bits is called the extinction ratio 2

ook  The most commonly used modulation scheme in optical communication is on-off keying (OOK)  Bit rate 1Gb/s => bit interval 1 ns Bit interval 3

DIRECT MODULATION  Advantage: simple and inexpensive, no other components are required.  A major advantage of semiconductor lasers  can be directly modulated.  because of the long lifetime of the erbium atoms at the E2 level, erbium lasers cannot be directly modulated even at speeds of a few kilobits per second  require an external modulator  Disadvantage of direct modulation is that the resulting pulses are considerably chirped.  Chirp is a phenomenon wherein the carrier frequency of the transmitted pulse varies with time, and it causes a broadening of the transmitted spectrum. 4

INDIRECT MODULATION  External modulators in high-speed, dispersion-limited communication systems. (bit rate >= 10 Gb/s)  OOK external modulator is placed in front of a light source and turns the light signal on or off based on the data to be transmitted  External modulators become essential using solitons or return-to-zero (RZ) modulation  practical RZ systems today use a continuous-wave DFB laser followed by a two-stage external modulator 5

Common external modulators  1- Lithium niobate modulators:  By electro-optic effect, where an applied voltage induces a change in refractive index of the material. As a directional coupler or as a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI)  MZI offers a higher modulation speed for a given drive voltage and provides a higher extinction ratio 8

MZI  Two titanium-diffused LiNbO 3 waveguides form the two arms of a MZ interferometer  In one state, the signals in the two arms of the MZI are in phase and interfere constructively and appear at the output.  In the other state, applying a voltage causes a π phase shift between the two arms of the MZI, leading to destructive interference and no output signal. 9

MZI  Because the speed of light is altered by the application of a “control” voltage, electro-optic materials can be described as materials with a voltage-controlled index of refraction.  Index of refraction = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in material 10

MZI  U I splits into two signals U1 and U2 at the first coupler.  An electro-optic modulator, whose refractive index slightly varies as a function of applying voltage V, is embedded through one path. This affects on the relative phase shift of the two signals at the output couplers, where the two signals recombine.  This variable phase shift changes the output signal U O. Therefore, U O can be varied by the voltage V 11

Common external modulators  2- Semiconductor electro-absorption (EA) modulators:  Uses the same material and techniques used to fabricate semiconductor lasers  allows an EA modulator to be integrated along with a DFB laser  a very compact, lower-cost solution  Its bandgap is higher than the photon energy of the incident light  allows the light signal to propagate through.  Applying an electric field to the modulator  shrinking the bandgap of the material  incident photons are absorbed  Franz-Keldysh effect or the Stark effect  chirp performance of EA is not as good as that of MZI 13

Subcarrier Modulation  The data stream first modulates a microwave carrier, which, in turn, modulates the optical carrier subcarrier Main carrier 14

 A directional coupler is used to combine and split signals in an optical network   Commonly made by fusing two fibers together in the middle: fused fiber couplers   Also fabricated using waveguides in integrated optics Optical Coupler  P1 P1 P2 (1-  )P1 (1-  )P2  P2  : coupling ratio 15

 coupler can be  wavelength selective: α depends on the wavelength widely used to combine signals at 1310 nm and 1550 nm into a single fiber without loss: 1310 nm signal on input1  is passed through to output nm signal on input2  is passed through output 1  or wavelength independent (wavelength flat) over a usefully wide range: α is independent of the wavelength  L can be adjusted  such that half the power from each input appears at each output: 3 dB coupler  For monitoring purposes: couplers are called taps, designed typically 0.90–0.95 Optical Coupler 16

Optical Coupler  Realization on planar waveguides or on optical fibers  Fibers must be longitudinally fused so that the fields from the two branches interfere  The length L of fusion is responsible for the coupling ratio 17

 allows transmission in one direction but blocks all transmission in the other direction.  Used at the output of optical amplifiers and lasers primarily to prevent reflections from entering these devices, which would otherwise degrade their performance  Insertion loss: the loss in the forward direction, as small as possible  Isolation: the loss in the reverse direction, as large as possible  Typical insertion loss is around 1 dB, and the isolation is around 40–50 dB Isolator 18

 Is similar to an isolator, except that it has multiple ports, typically three or four  In a three-port circulator, an input signal on port 1  sent out on port 2, an input signal on port 2  sent out on port 3, an input signal on port 3  sent out on port 1.  Circulators are useful to construct optical add/drop elements Circulator 19
