High-power polarization-division-multiplexing (PDM) systems or functional modules, such as self-phasemodulation (SPM)-based all-optical regenerators, cross-phase-modulation (XPM)-based wavelength convertors or format convertors, all-optical logical g
In dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical transmission systems, cross-phase modulation (XPM) due to Kerr effect causes phase shift on each channel, which will ultimately be transformed to amplitude noise that leads to power penalties.
A scheme for all-fiber clock enhancement of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data based on cross-phase modulation (XPM) effect in nonlinear fibers is proposed and demonstrated in simulation. The simulation results indicate that the clock-to-data ratio of NRZ
