Over the years, the increased search and exchange of information lead to an increase of traffic intensity in todays optical communication networks. Coherent communications, using the amplitude and phase of the signal, reappears as one of the transmission techniques to increase the spectral efficiency and throughput of optical channels. In this context, this paper present a survey on format conversion of modulated signals using MZI- SOAs, based exclusively on all-optical techniques through wavelength conversion. We also present two proposal using all-optical techniques: One for the conversion of amplitude modulation signals to a continuous phase modulation format, and another technique for the conversion of OOK signals to QPSK and QAM signals. Both approaches are experimentally validated.
This paper proposes a new methodology for the generation of quadrature amplitude modulation signals, based on all-optical processing from nonlinear interferometric devices. The degradation of the systems performance is numerically analyzed, as a function of operational parameter’s unbalance and physical impairments of the system. The results shows that the probe laser power and the coupling factor of optical couplers are the most sensitive parameters of the proposed format conversion system.
As redes de Bragg (FBG) tornaram-se componentes importantes na redes de comunicações ópticas, pois permitem a realização de várias operações sem a necessidade de conversão opto-electrónica. Este artigo descreve uma ferramenta de software para simulação e caracterização de redes de Bragg por nós inteiramente concebida. A interface gráfica foi programada utilizando o ambiente GUIDE do Matlab. É assim possível analisar um leque variado de FBGs, tendo em consideração os efeitos secundários provocados pela variação do índice de refracção médio, durante o processo de fabrico.

This paper experimentally demonstrate an all-optical phase modulation technique using both arms of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure with Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (MZI-SOA), with NRZ modulated signals driven at 10 Gbit/s. The proposed optical phase modulator can be used in multi-level modulation signals generation, as an optical routing element, as well in optical code division multiple access transmission systems.
A novel generation scheme of QPSK format using dual MZI-SOA in serial configuration is presented. The feasibility of 20 Gb/s QPSK signal with coherent detection is experimentally shown.
In this paper, we investigate through simulation the feasibility of amplification solutions for WDM ring PON encompassing C+L transmission bands. The system under analysis is composed by a bidirectional pump at 1480 nm with 1 W of power in each direction and 16 channels (8 C band + 8 L band). The simulation describes an 80 km WDM ring with 8 nodes in which 2 channels are added/dropped. Two scenarios were implemented, one with simple Raman amplification that considers that all the pump power travels along the ring being selected the optimal order to drop channels and another with C- band in line EDFA in the link mid length that performs and additional amplification on C band signals. The results of both approaches are compared and their suitability for practical PON is analyzed.
