Abstract

We study the feasibility and robustness of soliton-based fiber optic transmission systems, with a maximum of five discrete eigenvalues, over Raman amplified optical fiber. The realistic system-level simulation takes the following perturbations into account: Quantization distortion of DAC, non-ideal MZM, IQ imbalance, filters, laser phase noise, residual fiber loss with distributed Raman amplification, polarization coupling and polarization mode dispersion. The receiver DSP includes: Channel estimation, MIMO equalization and phase noise compensation. Taking into account all the system impairments stated above, we realize a robust eigenvalue on-off keying (OOK) transmission scheme for transmission over up to 1000km SSMF, with a net data rate of 1.30Gbps. We subsequently characterize the system performance by the resulting BER and the variance of the detected eigenvalues.
