28、ts forth standard procedures for measuring time-resolved chirp (TRC) on laser transmitters. The calculation of alpha-factor, a measure of transient chirp, is derived from the measured TRC data. Also covered is a means to verify the TRC set-ups and calculations (Annex A) and a review of laser modulat

29、ion methods and the relationship of TRC to performance in a transmission system. 2 Background Understanding the effects of chirp on the transmission of signals is of great importance to the system designer. Chirp can have two separate outcomes in transmission systems. The first is that the chirp can

30、 interact with the fibre dispersion to broaden or narrow the pulse along the fibre. This will cause a positive or negative path penalty, which ultimately decreases or increases the distance over which the signal can propagate in a system without regeneration. The sign of the penalty depends upon bot

31、h the sign of the chirp and the sign of the fibre dispersion. The second is that chirp can broaden the transmitted spectrum limiting the channel spacing by interfering with adjacent channels in an ultra-dense WDM environment, even at short-haul distances. The path penalty is the apparent reduction o

32、f receiver sensitivity due to distortion of the signal waveform during its transmission over the path. A negative path penalty corresponds to an apparent increase of receiver sensitivity. The path penalty is manifested as a shift of the systems bit error ratio (BER) curves toward higher or lower inp

33、ut power levels. A positive chirp penalty is defined as the additional signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) required at the receiver due to laser chirp to maintain a BER in a system with specified dispersion. Measuring chirp penalty directly is difficult because it requires a chirp-free transmitter with the

34、identical intensity pattern as the device under test (DUT). Because of this difficulty, chirp penalty is often inferred from a path penalty measurement. A path penalty measurement involves substituting a fibre of known chromatic dispersion into the signal path and measuring the additional power (SNR

35、) required to achieve the specified BER. This measurement is tedious and time consuming and assumes that the measurement is dominated by the chirp penalty term. This has led many transmitter and system designers and manufacturers to estimate the chirp (or dispersion) penalty using time-resolved chir

36、p data directly or with derived chirp parameters that are either modelled or measured. 5 EN 61280-2-10:2005 In order to bring the cost of DWDM transmission systems down, lower cost transmitters are being designed and deployed. Controlling the amount of chirp present in these lower cost transmitters

37、is key to their success in the network. 113 Abbreviations BER Bit-error ratio DCA Digital communications analyser DFB Distributed feedback laser DM Directly modulated laser DUT Device under test DWDM Dense wavelength-division multiplexing EAM Electro-absorption modulator EDFA Erbium-doped fibre ampl

Chirp is also expressed in th

40、e literature by temporal rate of change of the phase of the propagating electromagnetic wave; as such it is a time derivative and bares units of inverse of time (Hz). 2 It is typically expressed as f(t), the difference from the average optical frequency. The instantaneous optical power, P(t), is use

41、d in conjunction with f(t) to completely describe the optical signal. 1)Figures in square brackets refer to the bibliography. EN 61280-2-10:2005 6 Measurements are acquired in the time domain using a trigger that is synchronous with a pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) modulation pattern. As descr

42、ibed above, there are two components of TRC measurement. The optical waveform, P(t), is that which would be displayed with a wide-band optical receiver and oscilloscope. The chirp or frequency waveform, f(t), indicates that the frequency of the laser is also varying as the laser is modulated with th

43、e data. Figure 1 shows a typical TRC result.

44、asurement 5 Modelling transmitter behaviour In a modulated signal, the frequency variation can be modelled as the sum of phase shift term and frequency shift term. An abrupt shift in phase becomes a transient in frequency. The two terms are generally referred to as transient and adiabatic respective

47、p measurement methods Time-resolved chirp measurements require to be modulated with a bit stream to simulate the way in which the device is used in a transmission system. Synchronization must be provided to the measurement system in the form of a trigger signal. Three methods theoretically can provi
