Cancellation of stimulated-Raman-scattering cross talk in wavelength-division-multiplexed optical communication systems by series or parallel techniques

Abstract

We compare techniques using two fibers connected either in series or in parallel for cancelling cross talk that is due to stimulated Raman scattering in wavelength-division-multiplexed systems. Theory shows that such cross talk can be completely eliminated by a series arrangement in lossy dispersionless fibers by means of midway amplification and spectral inversion. In dispersive fibers, cross-talk reduction of the order of the Raman gain G can be obtained by adding dispersion compensation and alternating dispersion. Alternatively, a similar cross-talk reduction can be obtained by use of parallel transmission of signals on different sets of wavelengths and differential detection; in the presence of dispersion, the dispersion for the different sets of wavelengths must be opposite. The parallel approach appears to be more practical.
