“…However, since the fiber had normal dispersion, no modulational-instability-induced intensity noise was observed [11]. In order to ensure the benefits of the use of normal dispersion fibers in the realization of this sort of nonlinear fiber devices, we performed similar FWM-based wavelength conversion experiments using an HF with an anomalous dispersion of 10 ps/nm/km.…”

Abstract-We demonstrate a four-wave-mixing based wavelength converter using a 15-m highly nonlinear holey fiber (HF) with a high stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) threshold. Error-free efficient wavelength conversion of 10-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero signal over a 10-nm bandwidth is reliably achieved. Our 15-m HF has a nonlinearity coefficient 70( 10) W 1 km 1 and an SBS threshold of more than 130 mW. The high SBS threshold is achieved by applying structural variation to the HF along its length during the fabrication process. No modulational-instability-induced intensity noise on the converted signals is observed due to the normal dispersion of the HF.

“…Error-free wavelength conversion over a 10-nm bandwidth of a 10-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) data rate is obtained with good efficiency. Modulation-instability-related amplitude noise associated with the wavelength conversion process is avoided by ensuring that the HF has normal dispersion [11].…”

“…The fiber has a dispersion around -3 ps/(km·nm) over 1500-1600 nm with a nonlinear coefficient of 11.2 (W·km) -1 . The reason of normal dispersion operation is to get rid of modulation instabilities of the processed signal, which avoids extra noise in the signal [11]. Also, the dispersion variation of the fiber is less than 1 ps/(km·nm) in the range of 1465-1655 nm with a dispersion slope less than 1×10 -3 ps/(km·nm 2 ).…”

Soon after the nonlinear effects in optical fibers were observed experimentally, it was realized that they would limit the performance of fiber-optic communication systems [1]. However, nonlinear effects were found to be mostly irrelevant for system design in the 1980s because both the bit rate and link lengths were limited by fiber losses and group-velocity dispersion (GVD). The situation changed dramatically during the 1990s with the advent of optical amplification, dispersion management, and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). These advances increased link lengths to beyond 1000 km and single-channel bit rates to beyond 10 Gb/s. As a result, the nonlinear effects in optical fibers became of paramount concern for optimizing a lightwave system [2]- [5]. This chapter focuses on how the nonlinear effects influence the design of WDM lightwave systems. The loss-and dispersion-management techniques are discussed first in Section 7.1 as an introduction to system-related issues. Section 7.2 is then devoted to the impact of five major nonlinear effects stimulated Brillouin and Raman scattering (SBS and SRS), self-and cross-phase modulation (SPM and XPM), and four-wave mixing (FWM). Section 7.3 focuses on optical solitons that employ SPM to advantage and can be used for designing WDM systems. Section 7.4 describes intrachannel nonlinear effects that become important for high-speed channels in pseudo-linear lightwave systems.
