Abstract:

Four-wave mixing (FWM) may happen efficiently and introduce crosstalk at the signal channels in dense-wavelength-division- multiplexing (DWDM) systems employing zero-dispersion-shifted fiber (ZDSF). This paper presents extended method of fast allocation of unequally spaced channels (USC’s) to minimize FWM crosstalk in millimeter-wave (MMW) DWDM radio-over-fiber (ROF) systems. When all of the MMW sub-carriers are at same frequency, by spacing the channels unequally using the extended method, all FWM products except the ones bound to be generated at the signal frequencies, can be excluded from the signal channels. While when the MMW sub-carriers are allowed to be different in frequencies, all of the FWM products can be excluded from the signal channels by spacing the channels unequally. Transmission of 622 Mbit/s BPSK data over 40 kilometers ZDSF, with and without wavelength interleaving, are simulated, for both schemes with equally and unequally spaced channels. Results comparison shows that the link performances can be clearly improved, when the channels are unequally spaced using the extended method.
